Chapter 47 - A Glimpse of the Monster

Draven thought, She sounds kinda scared, but I guess she should be. If anything happens to the prince, she and her brother will be dead meat. "I want you to clean this up while I go take a bath," he said aloud, turning and walking away. I need to take a nice bath.

Lyriana looked at the blood on the floor beside the table, her mind racing. Where are all the magic stones we left here? What's going on? This is strange... lots of blood on the floor, and the magic stones are all gone. Did he...? "Forgive me, Young master," she said hesitantly, "but I can see the magic stones you asked us to leave on the table are no longer here. They seem to have been removed. I only ask so I may clean properly without disturbing anything important.

"Draven, hearing her, stopped walking. Bitch, I thought you would be smart and ignore it, but guess you won't. "Hey," he said, not turning around, "it's best if you don't ask too many questions. You should just do your job, but guess I can still tell you if you really want to know."

He slowly turned his head, looking at her. "But then I will have to kill you afterwards." Should I just kill her? It seems like she already has an idea of what happened. I mean, killing her isn't that hard since now I can see where her heart is. He noticed, with a strange clarity, that Lyriana's heart was located in the lower right side of her belly. I just found out about it the moment she walked in. But maybe killing her might be too much.

Draven looked at Lyriana, who was also looking back, meeting his gaze. A chill ran down her spine. Was he going to kill me because I know too much? He continued, "Just clean this up while I go take a bath." He turned fully and started walking away. And it's best for you if no one else knows about this.

She thought, He's telling me not to speak of it to anyone if I don't want to die. It is a threat and a warning. "As you wish, Young master," she said, her voice low, "I shall speak of it to no one."

Draven, still walking away, thought, I can see where her heart is... is that some kind of superpower I gained from eating those magic stones? Am I going to get more from eating even more stones?
