"Then prove it. Drink my blood."
Aries had her hand outstretched, palms open. Blood oozed from the slice on her open palm, but she showed no pain while keeping eye contact with the mortified Inez.
"Elle!" Inez rushed to her and took out a handkerchief, wrapping it around the crown princess's hand in a hurry. "Are you out of your mind?! How can you do this to yourself?!"
The ninth princess couldn't even think twice as she hissed, glaring at Aries. However, the second she saw the pain in the latter's eyes, Inez was certain Aries was serious and she had been in more distress.
"Elle…" she called as her breath hitched while Aries gazed at the hand Inez was putting pressure on.
