Chapter 54 Not a Monster

I wondered what in the world I was going to do next. After all, Prince Theo had just given up his best chance at breaking free of the Moonlit Crystal. It seemed like he had made a hasty decision.

Why was he turned down Lady Nita’s offer? Because of my blood? That’s what he said, and that’s what I thought, too, but it seemed like an awful lot for him to be willing to risk certain death over. After all, the dreamberry wouldn’t do him any good if he was unconscious for the rest of his life.

I sat back on the bed next to him. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but all I could do was sit and stare at him.

It was clear he wasn’t feeling well. His eyes were beginning to close, and he could hardly sit up. Nevertheless, when he spoke, his voice was harsh. “Go ahead and say it. I know what you want to tell me, so just spit it out.”

Taken aback, I asked him, “What are you talking about?” How could he possibly know what I wanted to say to him when I didn’t even know.
