Chapitre 119: Blackthorn's Murderer

Music Recommendation: Abandoned Secret- Fredrik Jonasson

—

Anastasia was taken aback by the Storm Prince's story about how Dante became a demon. She wondered if he remembered what had taken place in his past life, which might explain why he had always kept women at arm's length, rather than solely attributing his emotional distance to the Mother Queen's attempts at matchmaking to secure great-grandchildren. 

"Does Dante know about this?" Anastasia asked him, her eyes brimming with curiosity. 

"He does," Prince Raylen replied, and Anastasia felt her stomach sink slightly in dismay. 

"Why did the woman stab him?" she inquired, and she saw Prince Raylen pursing his lips in contemplation as a thoughtful expression settled on his face. 

"Perhaps because her love for him wasn't as deep as his for her?" the prince ventured in a questioning tone, as though he were only guessing.
