Chapter 89. She Never Knew

Flinn’s eyes softened as she leaned closer to Lancelot’s hard frame.

“She should never have said that to you.”

“But, is she wrong?” His tone reeked of pain and pent up anger. Roxanne had never heard him sound like this, not even in the vampire kingdom after he had been beaten to stupor. She had first heard about Bran’s death from Arthur, she had never imagined it would be a big deal to Lancelot.

“Your highness, you shouldn’t...”

“Please doctor Flinn, drop that title, I do not need to hear it right now. My nightmares reoccured after that night, I saw him once again, calling out to me to save him, and I could do nothing. Athaliah is not the only one, my entire family blames me for it, even Bran blames me for it!” Lancelot spoke up, voicing out everything he wished he could speak out, but had failed to.

His voice was muffled, as his tone struggled to sound firm, despite the tears threatening to run down his cheeks and the fear and anger hooking his throat.
