Luka had barely left his room ever since Luna Bianci fully recovered. Prince Elio hadn't even asked for his assistance in feeding Cielo once more. It was clear that the Crown Prince fully intended to keep his identity secret from his betrothed, and he found that he couldn't hold ire at that.
Prince Elio remained on the fence most times, only interfering whenever it directly involved Luna Bianci. So the Crown Prince was back to treating him like the reclusive master as soon as his beloved could get out of bed and scurry to her brother's side.
Attica gave him a detailed report every night, and all it did was torment Luka further. He didn't stop her despite this.
It had been days now, and Cielo was fully recovered. However, the Vampire never returned to the library again, despite how many hours Luka sat there.
He stayed out of sight, not having forgotten Prince Elio's warnings so soon. Cielo was no longer ill, he had long lost his usefulness.
