She glared at him as if he lost his damn mind. 

"What?" 

It's my fault she's gone. I've told no one else but you," He whispered.

"How did she die?' She asked.

"Her heart stopped beating." He told her.

"So you sopped her heart?" She asked, confused.

"That isn't exactly what went on." 

"So what exactly did go on?"  She pressed lightly.

He took a deep breath, then spoke softly."Zeta's heart couldn't handle her condition." 

"I didn't know she had heart trouble." Then she took a long sip of the brew.

"No, she was with child," He confessed.

"Daniel I'm truly sorry. Did you know it would stop her heart?"  She inquired.

"No, I didn't." 

"Then it isn't your fault," She said holding his hand to offer comfort. 

"Thanks. I'm glad I sent for you." 

"Me too." 

The two sipped in silence for the next twenty minutes until there was a knock on the castle door.

"Oh, I'll get it. you have enough to worry about." She told him. 

He nodded,"You're a true friend." 

"Always." She then left the library quickly to go answer the door.
