Standing under the warm pitter patter of the shower in the bathroom, Elle tried to calm herself. After they had both got up and stretched their limbs from the whole night sleeping on a random bench somewhere outside, she had been transported all the way back here to Abi and Alexander's house by Sebastian with his... oh, good lord! ... vampiric speed or whatever it was that he called it. All she could do the entire time was cling onto him and hold on for dear life as she saw everything around her whizz by in a blur. And it was then that she wondered if she was even sane or if she was still in the same world she used to live in. Perhaps... have they crossed over into the world of fantasy?

A disbelieving chuckle escaped her and she shook her head. Who would have thought that this was the secret he was trying so damned hard to hide?

Burying her face into her palms, Elle decided to stop thinking. She felt like thinking would only make her spiral faster into insanity at this point. So she had better just stop and just see what was going to happen next!

When she stepped out of their room, Elle was surprised to see Abi already standing out there. It was as though she had been waiting for her for some time already. She was smiling at her with that same kind and gentle smile that Elle loved so much.

Abi invited her for tea and the two of them headed outside to enjoy their morning tea in the open air.

Elle felt like Abi seemed to already know something, as she was being so observant of her right now.

"Sebastian told us you already know his secret, Elle," Abi soon said, causing Elle's hand to still in midair. "I understand what you're going through right now, so I am trying to support you the best I could." She smiled even gentler as she reached out and squeezed Elle's arm in an encouraging gesture. "I've been there before, Elle. So trust me when I say I understand."

Abi's last sentence had Elle looking at her with wide eyes. "You... you mean... A-Alexander is also a... vampire?!" Elle was taken aback at that revelation.

Nodding, a soft smile tugged at Abi's lips. She pressed her hand gently on Elle's forearm again as she gave Elle all the time she needed to process the things she was finding out. Both ladies kept their silence as they continued making their way to the outdoor gardens where their morning tea awaits them.

Just when Elle was about to manage a response to Abi's earlier comment, Alexander emerged from the door.

"Are you coming along with us, Elle?" he asked with his usual carefree and friendly manner as she approached them. It was not that she truly noticed how his aura is always calm and in control.

"W-where?" she replied almost immediately.

"We're going to the Black Forest to fetch the kids. I think you should come along with us for this short trip, Elle." Alex sounded as though he was certain that it would be best if she could go with them. "You're going to learn more about us, and this entire country if you see that place."

Elle turned her gaze to Abi. Her eyes were silently questioning if she should go along or not.

"I'd also love to introduce you to an amazing lady residing there," Abi told her. "And your adorable nephew is also there, by the way." she was smiling at Elle like she could not wait to have Elle meet with her nephew for the first time.

The door opened right after Abi spoke and Sebastian stepped out, immediately pulling Elle's attention away from Abi. No matter where he was, as long as it was within the vicinity of her viewing area, her eyes would always be automatically drawn to Sebastian.

Hearing Abi said 'your nephew' had Elle feeling really curious. She knew that none of the Reigns' princes she had met and even the princesses had children. The only children she saw and heard about in the Reign family so far were Abi and Alexander's twins, Alexis and Alice.

However, she had already known that there was one more boy, and he was the son of the eldest prince : the prince Sebastian had warned her about before to never ever mention about.

"Can... we go with them?" she asked Sebastian hesitantly. She remembered how he looked like he did not want to go to that place when Alexander mentioned it before. But she really wanted to go. To see what was in there. She had already learned about these unbelievable matters she still could not quite fully accept as reality. So she had thought that she might as well just follow along and find out whatever secrets that were still out there. She knew that there was no holding back anymore. "I want to... see the place, Sebastian." She added, catching and holding her husband's eyes.

"Come on, Sebby," Alexander butted in. "Didn't you want Izabelle to adjust and get herself familiarized with the new reality she has found out? Her going over to the Black Forest will certainly make her see more of the world she didn't know actually exists. And it is high time for you to visit your nephew as well, don't you think?"

All of them waited for Sebastian's reply. Elle could feel Sebastian's reluctance and she could not help but wonder why. Was it because of his nephew? Could it be that the eldest prince was there? But that could not be, right?

Elle could also somehow tell that Alexander seemed determined to have Sebastian go with them, making her feel even more curious. And before she could stop herself, words tumbled out of her lips as she looked at him with pleading eyes. "I want to go... let's go, Sebastian."
