The Royals were pestering the Palace Guards by asking why they were being confined in their quarters, what was going on outside, if they were under attack, and things like that. The Palace Guards were not sure whether to be truthful to them or to lie.

They were waiting for the order but both Dragomir and Adeline were unconscious and were undergoing treatment.

As both of those with the authority were unconscious, Theodore took it upon himself to give out the orders to the General who was responsible for the Palace Guards.

"Who is your superior?" Theodore asked one of the guards while he was on the way to see Adeline.

That guard bowed and politely replied, "Our superior is General Keith, Your Highness."

"Do you know where he is?" Theodore asked again.

The guard pointed inside the meeting hall and replied, "He is observing the Princess\' treatment at the moment."

"Okay," Theodore nodded and went to find a middle-aged man inside the meeting room apart from all the others who were there when he left earlier.

Theodore went to him and asked, "General Keith?"

"Prince Theodore!" It looked like he was already aware of who Theodore was and he bowed, "Thank you for protecting our King and the Princess. I heard from the others that you bravely protected both of them."

Theodore was not sure how much he had heard but he assumed that his Devil form was not a secret anymore, at least not to the guards. So he said, "I think some of the guards are already aware of who I am. But I don\'t want that to be open information."

And he immediately ordered General Keith to mobilize the Palace guards to handle the situation. "Please order the guards not to reveal my true identity to the Royals or any civilians. Let it be limited among the soldiers."

"Of course, Your Highness. Your secret will be safe with us," General Keith politely replied.

Theodore further gave out other orders as well, "The Royals seemed very eager to know what has happened here. Give them the news of the assassination attempt, but only to the Royals and those inside the Palace."

Theodore clenched his fists and added, "There is no need to cause mass hysteria by revealing it to the civilians at the moment. We can break that information slowly."

"And do I tell them about the existence of the vampires?" the General asked because he had no other way to explain the damages inside the King\'s Court.

"Yes," Theodore nodded his head and agreed, "Let everyone inside the Palace know that the vampires were the ones to attack. Everyone needs to know about their existence so that they won\'t get petrified if they encounter one in the future."

The General bowed while saying, "I will relay the information right away. Is there anything else that you need me to do?"

Theodore thought for a second or two and questioned, "I believe that Adeline shared the distinct characteristics of the vampires in a meeting – their eye color, temperature, and their pale skin?"

"Yes, we were briefed in the meeting." From that question of Theodore, General Keith assumed that their Princess had a lot of trust in her fiancé. He seemed to know a lot of things, even those things that the King himself didn\'t know yet.

"Hmm…" Theodore recalled something that Reginald had said in the meeting earlier and said, "Make everyone aware of how the vampires look like when they aren\'t baring their fangs. It seemed that the vampires were spying on Wyverndale the whole time. While relaying the information, make sure to ask everyone to report if they see anyone with red eyes."

Theodore took a glance at Adeline who was still on the stretcher and added another order, "And if anyone asks to see the King or the Princess, tell them that they aren\'t allowed to do so until they regain their consciousness."

"I don\'t want anyone with ill intention to harm them while they are in the vulnerable state. Make sure that at least two Royal Guards are with them at all times, even when the Royal members visit them afterward." Theodore already knew that the so-called family members of Adeline were greedy and cunning, so he didn\'t want to take any chances.

Theodore then gave a nod to the General and said, "That is all for now. I will have Adeline shifted to her own quarter. Have the Royal Guards sent over there."

General Keith bowed to Theodore and agreed without questioning his authority. "I will do as you ordered, Your Highness."

After General Keith left the room, Theodore went to see that the healer had already finished stitching up Adeline\'s wound. He was preparing something in a small bowl.

Theodore stood beside Adeline and asked that healer, "How is she doing now? Is she out of the danger yet?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I have stitched her open wounds and her bleeding has already stopped." The healer replied with a soft tone and a polite bow. The guards had already made the healer aware about who he had scolded earlier and also who Theodore really was.

And afraid that the Devil might do something to harm him, he blurted out some information to let Theodore know that Adeline still needed him, "The Princess has fainted due to shock and fatigue. She has also lost some blood so I am currently preparing an herbal tonic for her to rejuvenate. I will also prepare some medicine for her wounds so that they will not get infected."

Theodore narrowed his eyes and asked worriedly, "There is a chance that her wounds could get infected?"

"If it is not taken care of properly then yes, it can," the healer felt like he shouldn\'t have said that. He didn\'t want to get pierced by the Devil\'s claws right in his heart.

But Theodore went quiet as though he was thinking of doing something. He couldn\'t even take Adeline to his fountain because she had clearly asked him not to.

Suddenly, his eyes twinkled because he remembered that the witches of the Mystic Coven could heal the wounds in no time. "I should bring them here," he thought to himself as he leaned down to pick Adeline up.

He gently picked her in his arms and asked the guards, "I\'m taking her to her quarter. All of you meet me there."

Theodore instantly vanished from the room, almost scaring that healer.

He took Adeline to her private chamber and carefully lay her down on the bed. He pushed her bloody hair away from her face and neck and pitifully glanced at her. Her wounds had been closed but they looked even scarier because of the threads.

"Why didn\'t I remember about the witches sooner?" he thought to himself and got ready to teleport.

But before that, he held her bloodstained hand and whispered to her, "I\'m sorry I couldn\'t protect you back there. But I promise I will think of a way to protect you without angering my father. I will find a way.. There is no way that I am seeing another scratch on you."
