Revenge on us

Alora ate the meals to her heart's content while Magnus watched her. She suddenly seemed to be carefree. It appeared like she didn't care about all this anymore. He lifted the glass and brought it close to his mouth to sip the blood. 

"Shall we leave Velaris, Alora?" Magnus suddenly asked her. 

She met his gaze and placed the fork on the plate. "Because of what happened today?" 

"Yes. I want to keep you away from all this stress. The dream of yours where you wish to live a peaceful life where no one blames you for your eyes can be fulfilled if we leave Velaris," Magnus stated. Though Alora didn't speak anything about this after returning from the palace, he knew she was hurt. 

"Prince Magnus told me once to stop running away. Why should I change the places for my own happiness? I don't wish to leave Velaris. Instead, I wish to give answers to everyone that I'm not cursed," Alora pronounced with determination in her eyes.
