Abrielle stared at Cedric in shock. He thought she was scared by the gory story but that wasn't the case.
What was going on? Something was definitely strange. In the original novel, she wrote; The Dragons and the priestess, Cedric told Callista how he got his title as the infamous blood-lusted demon. She remembered the story because she had written it herself.
During Cedric's first battle, Eleanor had deliberately sent him off with weak soldiers just to get rid of him. His group was attacked, and there was no chance of survival. Cedric was inexperienced, and the soldiers were not used to battle. In no time, almost every one of them was killed except Cedric. It was during the battle his face got scared with a long scar that ran across his left eye.
When it was time to kill the prince, the enemy's army changed their minds and thought it was better to capture the prince of Darconia.
