Ophelia took a moment to grasp that Ester said she was going to die.
"Dante's not going to kill me. I have no doubts in my mind that I am safe with him," Ophelia said, refusing to fall for Ester's lie.
Ester struck Ophelia on her leg again. "That's where you're wrong. Man and beast aren't the same. That's why he loses control of himself when the beast takes over. The beast can desire to kill you, and Dante cannot stop it."
"Then, we only need to plan so that he cannot get to me. If Dante cannot control the beast, then I have no reason to get upset with him if the beast tries to kill me. We must try to find a cure before the full moon. Please," Ophelia pleaded.
"Little one, many others before you have been trying to find the answer and have not succeeded. I didn't have the answer for them then, and I don't have it for you now. Only the one that cursed them could give the answer, but we both know what happened to her," said Ester.
