Chapter Fifteen

* Althea *

I couldn't bear to look at the eyes of Mister Greyback, because I knew I'd be lying once he asked about my body in this current state. I walk towards the other side of Zeina and watch her face, with the guilt eating up my heart. I should be in this situation and not her, she was so brave and she fought for both of us. I have never felt so useless in all my life until the incident.

"I hope she wakes up soon Mister Greyback, I have to apologize for the incident and for making the Princess get hurt like this."

The old man shook his head.

"Do not apologize, Althea, my son told me everything. No one blames you for what happened, don't worry about Zeina I know and I feel that my daughter will wake up very soon. Her face is almost back to normal and her heartbeat is healthy we just have to wait a little longer."

A soft smile played on my lips upon hearing the optimistic words from the old man.
