The People's Prince heaved a lamenting sigh. "It is truly unfortunate that there are people who want to hurt children."
Princess Ranea, on the other hand, didn't seem too amenable to the stance.
"They disgust me." She closed her eyes. "I understand that they are children, but they are essentially creatures of a different species. And to see little children gushing with blood and then controlling it is…"
She shuddered lightly.
"I don't blame anybody for wanting to get rid of them."
This was not a rare position.
No matter how well the project sought to integrate the blood children into human civilization, it didn't change the fact that they were noticeably different from other children. They grew faster, their cognition developed sooner, causing them to develop object permanence, self-awareness, speech, and reading and writing much sooner than human children.
They were obviously superhumanly tough, and that could not be hidden or dampened like their strength could be.
