Chapter 114

Layla couldn’t sleep. She kept tossing on the bed, making herself dizzy to feel sleepy yet remained active instead. The night in the capital was different from when she’s in Zev's mansion in the peninsula. Fewer insects were buzzing outside in the trees, but the chattering of people in the nearby stalls and stores which were still open for business even at the late hour filled her ears. Without a doubt, the capital was a more lively place and this fact annoyed Layla.

She wished to sleep to recuperate after exerting herself too much just to escape from Victor. Not to mention that she’d been feeling weak ever since she accidentally met the vampire lord like he’s absorbing all her strength when she’s within a certain distance around him. Layla thought it was just a coincidence, but thinking back when she encountered Victor’s siblings in the candy stall earlier that day, she seemed to faint because of the siblings’ presence.
