Jasper walked over to Ophelia. “You didn't think you'd still be Princess Ophelia, did you? Every neighboring kingdom knows who you are. The minute they saw you’re alive, it would change everything.”

“I'm confused.” Ophelia hoped someone would elaborate.

“Your soul stays intact, but the body you'll be in will be different.” Wynter reached for Ophelia's hand, resting it over his chest. “Do you feel that?” He had kind eyes and a warm smile.

Ophelia nodded. He had a steady heartbeat. “But you're dead?”

“We're undead, technically, but the human body can't sustain a soul without a working heart, lungs, you get the idea. We're not zombies. We're real people. We just have the ability to reap a person's soul when they die, so they can move on.”
