"I started feeling like blacking out after I took the evening dose of my medicine. The medicine had tasted awful," he said with a grimace on his face.
"I don't even want to recall the taste right now," Stephan continued. "Give me some more of that tea… that tastes better."
Zuri smiled, a weak smile as her mind wondered about what the prince had just said. She handed him what he asked for as a knock on the door distracted her. His meal had come. She was relieved as that would cause Stephan to have more strength and fight whatever ailed his body.
"It seems you don't heal as fast as other vampires, Prince Stephan…" Zuri stated.
"My healing slowed down a long time ago…" he explained. "It still happens, but as you said, not as fast."
Zuri nodded as she showed the servants where to serve the prince's meal they had brought up.
