Chapter 8

• "You must promise me to live your life to the fullest, my princess, I don’t want to die in vain”, she said as her breath became uneven.
• “You are not going to die, Maria, you are not going to die”.
• “It is an honor for me, dying at your service”, Maria said and coughed, struggling for breath but it wasn’t forth coming. She finally gave up struggling, she raised her bloodied hand to touch her Princess cheeks.... and took her last breath.
