Throne (8)
Roseanne meets with Aryan in the hallway outside her room. The vampire is hurt and even bloodied but his injuries are starting to heal, albeit slowly.
“You need blood,” she realizes.

“You can drink Josephine’s blood,” Roseanne says. “She is lying dead in my chamber.”
Aryan stares at her in shock. Josephine is dead?
“I used the birds to punish her,” Roseanne simply states. “This is her punishment for betraying us.”
Aryan sighs but nods. Without a word, he enters her chamber and closes the door behind him. Roseanne waits until the vampire is done and he emerges out of the room, wincing a little but his injuries have healed.
“That has to be the most disgusting blood I have ever tasted,” he shudders.
“It was that bad?”
