Chapter 51: Prince 2

"He is infected," the Duke said as Rosalind approached them. The fighting had ceased and the bodies of humans and some monsters were all over the ground. The smell of death surrounded them.

She stared at the Prince and immediately notice the black blood.

"That is not from any wound," she stated.

"You are right. It's from an old one. I believe that the dark curse had infected the crown prince a long time ago. It is either the crown is purposely hiding it or they are not aware of it," the Duke continued.

Someone infected with a dark curse was different from someone who was born with it. For instance, Alma, who was born with a dark curse, would suffer excruciating pain every night until her body could not take it and she died a painful death.

On the other hand, someone who had been infected by a curse using a weapon would have immediately died from it. The pain would be too much to handle.
