Chapter 60: Alora’s parental home
After breakfast, Alora headed outside the residence with Magnus. As she settled inside the coach, she removed the blindfold from her eyes. Keeping it on her lap, she waited for the carriage to move ahead.
"Magnus, why do you fight with your siblings? Brother Izaak isn’t a bad person. But you portray him as one. Earlier what you said to him was harsh," Alora wanted Magnus to make his relationship better with both Lillian and Izaak.
"He scared you last night by telling you how I kill humans once my hunger for blood increases. Lillian, on the other hand, just shows how much she despises you, which makes me angry. If I won’t take a stand for you, then who will," Magnus explained his stance on being harsher on his two siblings. He told her how Alaric always understood him even though they had communicated so less with each other.
"What will His Highness do for the humans whom he killed in the process of drinking the blood from them? Their families must be in distress. They might have cursed you," Alora said as she was upset thinking her husband might get those curses.
"I didn’t kill innocent humans. Even during my hunt, I make sure I go for evil humans," Magnus clarified to her.
"So, all those were evils? What crimes did they commit?" She asked curiously.
"Heinous ones," Magnus replied.
"Will His Highness be able to keep himself in control tonight? He can come to me if he feels trouble sleeping," Alora suggested to him. However, she was aware that Magnus would not do that. "You don’t need to hide such a side of yours from me," she added.
"Alora, stay quiet. My decision has been made. You and I have to stay away for two nights," Magnus said in a stern tone.
