What Ben would have given to peek into the mind of the past king! Clearly he had seen something in mortals, or at the very least enough to value Geoffrey before turning him. The more Ben heard, however, the more curious the situation became. His history lessons were rusty and he had to force himself to pour over the excessive amount of material Varis had sent him. Yet this was the first he had heard of Noilan origins resting in mortal blood. Both princesses were known to have been turned as well but hearing that their late king was almost made the disdain over the turned vampires puzzling. It could be chalked up to a widespread arrogance that had long been rooted in vampires older than he.

He would not dwell on the thought for too long. It was better to listen and question after he had all the facts. On the other hand, it gave him a small inkling on how to deal with Eris. He decided to play his game for now.
