Her Blood - (Whispers of Fate: Book 1)

Chapter 31

Grace's Point of View:

I closed my eyes, was it my imagination? Did Flower say that? But she can't, Queen Floisa did say that she isn't a master spirit so she can't come into the living world to talk to me.

"Grace? Are you okay?" Emilia asked, and I opened my eyes. She looked at me with concern.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, just a bit stressed," I said, giving a small smile.

"Madam Grace? Madam Emilia?" The nurse said.

We both turned towards her.

"Yes?" I asked.

"The time to visit the patient is over now," she said, indicating me that we needed to go.

I nodded.

After kissing Katherine's forehead, I came out of the hospital room with Emilia.

We both walked together in silence. This part of the castle was very secluded.

"I'm sorry about whatever happened today," Emilia broke the silence, "Princess is now in this condition because she healed me... I-I feel bad."

"Awww, Emilia, no one is at the fault here," I reasoned, "it's the fault of those evil spirits."

Emilia shuddered hearing the last word. I frowned, those freaking spirits might have scared her so much.

I pulled her into a hug, she definitely needed it. She hugged me back tightly and started crying.

"I thought I was gonna die," she said between her cries.

"Shh, you're alright now, don't worry," I started rubbing her back, trying to calm her down.

"You have to destroy him, Grace. You have to!" Emilia said, making my heart pound.

Who was she talking about? I have to destroy someone?

"What are you saying, Em?" I said, with brows knitted together.

She wiped her tears, leaned on the wall, and looked down.

I bit my lip, I knew everyone was keeping some secret from me. I think what she said was related to it.

"Um, Emilia, who do I have to destroy?" I asked again.

She looked at me, nervously.

"I don't know if I should tell you that..." she started fidgeting again.

"Come on, Emilia, from the day I stepped into this castle I know that everyone is keeping secrets from me, can't just someone disclose the secrets. I hate it," I buried my face in my hands and sighed in exasperation.

"The event, Kayla's death, Wincarian, Salinzala mark, Slaves of Darkness, and everything else, I don't know anything about them. I want to know, heck, I need to know."

"I know you wanna know everything, Grace. But even I don't know everything," Emilia said.

"Then tell me what you know!"

"You are the only person who can destroy Lord Darkness. And you need to do it," she said, looking into my eyes.

My heart was pounding. What was she saying? Has she gone nuts?

"You're not obligated to do it, it's just that you are the only one who can destroy him, your blood is very powerful," she said.

"But to save your and your beloved's life you have to destroy him. He is behind you, Grace."
