Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)

It the venomous creature was not brought under control, Maurice would die.

Tere prided himself on knowing Felicia well enough. She wouldn’t just stand by and watch Maurice de in her place. Her moral compass and sense of guilt simply wouldn’t 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

“Pete, think you’ve made a critical mistake,”

“The place you guys want me to go. It must be quite important to you, right? She tider head, then inued. “Let me guess.. that place must be related to that map. Or rather, it’s ted to the mysterious location marked on it.

“I’m not mistaken, you need me to reach that place of accomplish whatever you’re after. Without her speculation slowly.

Adtou seeing the expressions of Pete and the robed man change, she said, “Ah, so I’m right”

me, none of this works, does it? Which means. 1 Indispensable to you,” she voiced out

Sheiled. “When you’re asking for help, you’re 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

Pete’s expression darked inmediately.

Felicia mew too much. As a pawn, she should just obediently listen to orders, not fight back!

The robed man’s expression wasn’t much better. If it had been earlier, he could’ve 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 Felicia’s turn to dictate the terms

The robed man’s frustration boted over, and he shot Pete a sharp, accusing glare that seemed to suggest, “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been so overconfident, we wouldn’t 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. “You’re right. Well then, I’m begging you, please agree to my request is a show of good faith, I’ll suppress the effects of Maurice’s Heart Eater for now. Deal?”

For now? Belicia neered clearly showing her dissatisfaction.

Pere stupid helplessly. “Telicia, you’re a skilled doctor. If you check his pulse, you’ll see that I’m not lying. The Heart Later has gone baserk. No one can save him now und we find the Heart Eater’s natural habitat and find another one counteract it.”

-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. “I know where to find one. It’s on the island we need to visit. The Heart Eater inside you is one I stole from that island myself.”

sule? Felicia seuced the opportunity to mock him, “You really don’t have an ounce of shame, do you?”

Pete churidled lightly, letting the insult roll off his back.

Though Felicia ultimately agreed to his terms, she wasn’t done with her questions. “So, this island you’re talking about. It’s the place marked on the map, isn’t it? What’s exactly so valuable there that you’re alwng to go to such lengths to find in?”

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.

And it wasn’t fool Pete. Even Stephan had shown interest.

Belicia vividh remembered that moment in the rainforest when Stephan admitted he had a reason–oo he couldn’t ignore–for needing to find that place. What reason could it possibly be? bolica stili ba’t figured that out.
