章 50: Did Something Happen?

Jeffery tried to sit up as Jessica shifted closer to him to assist him.

"I'm fine…" he said, feeling a little ashamed he was being taken care of by the princess. 

"What happened to me? I can't recall…"

"It's a long story… " Jessica said. Her cheeks were still flushed from how she found Jeffery handsome. Her eyes couldn't seem to stay in one place. She was giddy and a little clumsy.

"Would you like some water?" she asked after biting down on her bottom lip.

Jeffery placed his head in his hands. "Your brother… he did something to me," he said in a soft tone. The next minute, his eyes widened. "Why am I here? Where's Merle? He was the one that killed that vampire! I had nothing to do with it. That vermin… he wants to ruin our peace treaty, Princess…"

"Oh for star's sake! Call me Jessica. I don't wanna hear princess from that mouth of-" she broke off, realizing what she was about to say about his mouth.
