NO LONGER A RED ROSE
It was indeed silver blood flowing from the place that was pricked by Prince Reigen's index finger that was covered by invisible thorns. The thorns were sharp, and they immediately caused small holes in the skin before holy blood gushed out of the tiny holes.
It was indeed holy blood, and for some reason, the smell was different from regular blood, and it didn't disturb the nostrils just like how normal blood would do.
It was indeed holy blood that only belonged to Shovalon royal family, the only cure for the red rose's curse, and also the only one that could neutralize the poisonous substance that would appear in the Gordeen River next month.
No one could possibly explain why the Shovalon royal family had such strong holy blood. The people who knew about it might have been the late king and queen of the kingdom, but since they had left the world fifteen years ago, the mystery behind the holy blood would probably remain until the very end.
