Audrey's eyes widened in surprise. Ever since she had received her own blessing, she had always imagined exactly when Damien would get his.
Sometimes, she thought that perhaps because he was called the cursed prince, he would never receive his own blessing. But hearing it directly from him now, that he had received his blessing, brought a smile to her lips.
"What's it?" she asked. "And what does it have to do with people getting scared of you?"
Damien said, "I can't say much about it. The only thing I can do is probably explain it to you."
Audrey was still waiting for his explanation, but instead, Damien led her towards their carriage. From the corner of her eye, she could still see the villagers avoiding them. None of them glanced in their direction. Audrey stared at them, but in the end, she shrugged.
What could he have done to make them so scared of him?
When they got to the carriage, she waited for Damien to explain, but all he did was stare at her.
