Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Bad Boy

"No Fae is inherently evil, that is what the Seelie Queen failed to understand before she died in the battle field. The nature of evil exists and deep within everyone, we have the tools. However.... " Eli chuckled darkly, "That is not the case for the dark Faeries. My kind is born with it. That is why we bear the cursed mask," He pulled down the tunic’s large V-shaped neckline to show her the writhing runes even though there was enough of it on his neck.

Islinda stared at it, mouth parted in both awe and slight fear. If this was a cursed mask, would it have any effect on her considering she’s made contact with it a lot more times than she could remember?

"The cursed mask bears witness to the deal the Night Court High Lord made with the archdemon for power and as well, a quick identification for the other courts to murder us. Most surviving dark Faeries are in hiding and are smart enough to hide their marks."

"Just like Maxi."

He concurred, "Exactly, just like Maxi."

Islinda looked down at the rune, pointing out, "You are the only one allowed to flaunt yours."

Eli snorted, "Only because I am the King’s son, others are put to death."

Islinda wet her lips asking, "So if you were to have a child, would he have the....?" She trailed off, her question obvious.

"It is passed down from generation to generation. The stronger the Fae, the numerous the marks, and the viler the soul." Eli answered, raising his hand and Islinda watched as silky wisps of darkness gathered in his palm.

"You don’t feel evil to me." Islinda confessed, "I am not saying that you haven’t done worse things in the past or that you’re not capable of destroying lives. But you’re still half dark Fae, which means there’s still a bit of goodness in you. And then there’s Maxi, cursed or not, dark Faeries with the will might be able to combat the urge to do bad. Your ancestors were already evil before they asked for the power, it only heightened what was there. I think compassion, love and positivity might be able to change a dark Fae. We just need to give them a chance. "

"We?" Eli arched a dark brow at her, the wisps of darkness in his hand growing thicker.

"I mean the other courts. They could give the good dark Faerie a chance, consider it a test or trial or something and if it works, could increase the number of dark Faeries participating and who knows, they could rehabilitate a lot of dark Faeries. This way the war would end and the other dark Faeries who refuse to change can be.... "Islinda swallowed at the thought of the word," Punished. " She used the lighter version of "killed" instead.

"Islinda..." Eli called her name gravelly, making her tense, "Have you ever heard this saying? You can not save someone that doesn’t want to be saved."

She opened her mouth to speak, but he beat her to it, "Is that your plan? Do you intend to save me?"
