Return of the Crowned Heiress
It the venomous creature was not brought under control, Maurice would die.
Tere prided himself on knowing Felicia well enough. She wouldnât just stand by and watch Maurice de in her place. Her moral compass and sense of guilt simply wouldnât let her. That was the contence behind the conditions he stated
But Felicia simple let out a sharp laugh, hes gare dripping with disdain as she looked at Pete like he was no more than a piece of trash. Het tone was scornful, cutting through the air like a
âPete, think youâve made a critical mistake,â
âThe place you guys want me to go. It must be quite important to you, right? She tider head, then inued. âLet me guess.. that place must be related to that map. Or rather, itâs ted to the mysterious location marked on it.
âIâm not mistaken, you need me to reach that place of accomplish whatever youâre after. Without her speculation slowly.
Adtou seeing the expressions of Pete and the robed man change, she said, âAh, so Iâm rightâ
me, none of this works, does it? Which means. 1 Indispensable to you,â she voiced out
Sheiled. âWhen youâre asking for help, youâre supposed to an like it. The proper approach would be to get on all fours and beg for my assistance, not strut around with that irritatingly
Peteâs expression darked inmediately.
Felicia mew too much. As a pawn, she should just obediently listen to orders, not fight back!
The robed manâs expression wasnât much better. If it had been earlier, he couldâve easily used the Hem Fater to control Felicia, and everything would have been solved without going through all this trouble.
But Maurice had to chow a wrench in their plans, willingly using the twin venomous creatures to shoulder the damage and contral intended for Felicia.
With the last bargaining chip gone, the roles were covered. It was Feliciaâs turn to dictate the terms
The robed manâs frustration boted over, and he shot Pete a sharp, accusing glare that seemed to suggest, âThis is all your fault! If you hadnât been so overconfident, we wouldnât be in this
Petegnored the silent rebuke, tuining his attention back to Felicia. After locking eyes with her for a few seconds, he sighed and shook his head. âYouâre right. Well then, Iâm begging you, please agree to my request is a show of good faith, Iâll suppress the effects of Mauriceâs Heart Eater for now. Deal?â
For now? Belicia neered clearly showing her dissatisfaction.
Pere stupid helplessly. âTelicia, youâre a skilled doctor. If you check his pulse, youâll see that Iâm not lying. The Heart Later has gone baserk. No one can save him now und we find the Heart Eaterâs natural habitat and find another one counteract it.â
-not even you
Felicia knew that, of course. The Heart Eater was nearly extinct. Finding another was difficult enough. Furthermore, she needed to find one that shared the same origin. That made it almost impossible.
Pete, however, knew more. âI know where to find one. Itâs on the island we need to visit. The Heart Eater inside you is one I stole from that island myself.â
sule? Felicia seuced the opportunity to mock him, âYou really donât have an ounce of shame, do you?â
Pete churidled lightly, letting the insult roll off his back.
Though Felicia ultimately agreed to his terms, she wasnât done with her questions. âSo, this island youâre talking about. Itâs the place marked on the map, isnât it? Whatâs exactly so valuable there that youâre alwng to go to such lengths to find in?â
She still remembered how the map had turned everything upside down. Dexes and Myra had discarded it like a hot potato, yet it had sparked a frenzy, causing people to chase it like madman, leaving us in their wake.

Belicia vividh remembered that moment in the rainforest when Stephan admitted he had a reasonâoo he couldnât ignoreâfor needing to find that place. What reason could it possibly be? bolica stili baât figured that out.
