Draven thought, *She sounds kinda scared, but I guess she should be. If anything happens to the prince and when they just arrive, 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... A pool of blood on the floor, and the magic stones are all gone. What did he...?*
"Forgive me, Young Master," she said hesitantly, "but I can see that 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."
Hearing her, Draven stopped walking.
*Bitch, I thought you would be smart and ignore it, but I guess you won't.*
"Hey," he said without turning around. "It's best if you don't ask too many questions. You should just do your job, but I guess I can still tell you if you really want to know."
He slowly turned his head and looked at her.
"But then I might've 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 and meeting his gaze.
A chill ran down her spine feeling the killing intent.
*Was he going to kill me for knowing too much?*
"Just clean this up while I go take a bath," Draven continued.
He turned fully and started walking away.
"And it's best for you if no one else knows about this."
Lyriana 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."
Still walking away, Draven 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?*
