Andria's POV

"You want to hear the truth from me, about each of your contestants?" I asked, although rhetorically.
"You fear what you do not understand," I said, eyes sweeping the room. "And yet, you sit here discussing protection against vampires, creatures you once misunderstood, and nearly destroyed yourselves over."

Luna Falcon's fingers clenched.
I inhaled slowly.
"If you truly wish to protect this kingdom," I said, voice lowering, "then you should be prepared to hear what you are all blind to."
"Do you still wish me to speak?"
Luna Belinda held my stare for a long, measured moment. Lady Eskareth smiled a little at me, and that was my cue.
"Proceed."
I cleared my throat. "I will start with Luna Sebian."
