"Everyone out," Liam ordered.

The six bodyguards did not immediately respond to the order, because they were still shocked by what they saw, so Liam had to repeat his command once again.

​​

"Leave and regardless of whatever you hear later, don't come in." Liam's voice sounded much intense as every word he spoke screamed absolute authority.

In the end, even though they were reluctant, a direct order from the king could not be ignored, therefore, they fell back and slowly closed the door again.

On the other hand, on many occasions, Liam just dodged Mila's attacks or pushed her away, but when he saw that his room was nothing like it was a few moments ago and there were a lot of shards of glass scattered on the floor, he deduced that it was time to end this fight once and for all.

With one smooth move, Liam managed to sneak behind Mila's body and grabbed her hands and crossed them across her chest before holding them on the girl's shoulders, while Liam stood behind her.

Since Mila's arms were now crossed in front of her chest, she couldn't free herself from Liam's powerful grip very easily. Now the only way she could think of was to kick the man behind her with her heel.

However, the plan proved to be not so efficient, because Liam had already anticipated this and with a slight nudge, he pushed Mila onto the bed. And, that was how the girl's body ended up in a compromising position while Liam was on top of her, holding Mila's waist with his knees.

"We have a lot to talk about Mila," Liam said into her ear, but his grip on Mila's hands was still so firm, despite his soft voice.

"You think we can talk in a position like this?!" Mila rebuked angrily.

Liam took a deep breath. "Do you promise to stop attacking me if I let you go?" he asked.

"I want to kill you!" Mila shouted angrily and Liam covered her mouth, leaning over so he could whisper into Mila's ear.

"You can say that over and over again when it's just the two of us, but you will get in trouble if someone hears you and I will not stay silent if you insult me ​​in public," Liam warned Mila sternly.

Liam understood the anger Mila was feeling and the reason why this sweet girl wanted to kill him, but he wouldn't let Mila go easily if she did that in public. After all, Liam was a king and he wouldn't let anyone look down on him.

"Understood?" Liam wanted to make sure that Mila wouldn't make such a fatal mistake again and leave him with no choice.

Yes, Mila was a sweet little girl who couldn't even bear to look at an injured animal, but because of what happened fifty- five years ago, something inside of her had changed.

For a moment, Mila seemed stubbornly adamant, but a few seconds later she nodded.

"Now let me go!" she grumbled when Liam had raised his hand that was holding her. "I don't want to talk to you in this uncomfortable position. Get off me!"

Liam snorted at Mila's arrogance and slowly released his grip on Mila's hands, but he didn't lower his guard. Who would guarantee that this young vampire would keep her word?

However, it turned out that Mila had enough integrity left in her system to keep her promise.

Groaning, Mila rubbed her wrists and glared at Liam who was leaning against the headboard. Their gazes met and for a moment silence fell over them both.

"I will not discuss anything with you until you explain to me the reason why you killed your supposed future queen. My sister." Mila could feel the pain in her heart when she said that, as the moment when her sister's body fell to the floor and died flashed through her mind again.

"That's what I am going to tell you too," Liam said. "I think this is a good time to make you understand."

Several years ago, Liam did not get a chance to explain this to Mila, mostly because the situation did not allow it.

"The right moment for you to explain this to me is the time before I escaped from this palace and was caught by those humans," Mila cursed. "And whatever you explain to me, it will not make me tolerate the reason why you killed Anna, but at least you owe me this much."

"The real issue isn't what you think Mila," Liam began. He wasn't very good with words because he was used to working in silence, so the task of explaining this was quite difficult and felt draining to him.

"Okay, you can start defending yourself with your 'reasonable' excuses, let me judge how they should be perceived," Mila said sarcastically.

Liam looked at Mila's grey eyes very intensely, before he said one sentence that took the girl by surprise. "Your sister was a traitor Mila, she betrayed our nation and you know what the consequences of her actions will be."

Death.

The consequence that must be faced by a traitor was death. Not only their death, but also the death of their entire family.

But, if that was true, then could anyone explain why Mila is still alive today?
