have an effect on you but look at you, you can't do anything, stay here I will be right back, she pat Crestella on the face smiling before running 

out of the room.

Crestella left alone staring at the celli, what did you say earlier, she struggles to get words out.

Ella respond with a faint voice, it moonstone, it a medicine used to 

weaken werewolves.

Crestella look confuse, how did Lucia found out the truth, I didn't even 

have a chance when I wanted to tell her, she drift slowly to sleep.

Hurry up, she opens the door and shut it immediately Elizabeth enters, 

there she is, pointing to Crestella laying on the floor.

Don't insult my father, you old hag.She yell angrily at Lucia, this is not the time to fight, if you don't want her to get marry to the man you are in love with join me and get her out of the castle before anyone finds out.
