"Human greed. It doesn't change even if you turn into a blood drinker." Lirae smiled, but Damon could tell that the elven woman had become slightly colder towards him. If she was neutral before, she was now definitely leaning towards hostile.
"Look at me. What could I possibly have to give to you?" Lirae continued walking. "I am not the princess you have come looking for. If you need something, you should go and look for the King's other daughters. I am afraid I have absolutely nothing to give you."
Damon quickly tried to salvage the situation. "My Lady, please forgive me. I did not mean it like that. I only meant I was here to help you if you needed any assistance. It would be my greatest honor to lend you my strength."
"There is nothing I need. Not from you. Not from anyone else." Lirae smiled again, but it was clear that no matter what Damon told her now, it was going to be impossible to gain her favor back.
