Chapter 294: Escaping From The Nightmare

(From Blue's Perspective)

"If you actually want to adopt her, there are a lot of things you need to know about her regarding her past, Duke," Dem said. "I will give you her file."

After dinner when it was time to say good night, Dem handed the duke Athena's file so he could know about her past. It was important for the duke and the duchess to know all about Athena to be her parents. 

"I will read it and also come to meet Athena often," the duke said. 

"Yes, please do so. That will be good for all the three of you," I said. "Then, good night. Travel safely."

"We will. Good night to you too, Your Majesty," the duke said. 

Iris hugged me and bid us goodbye. They left first. Dem and I said goodbye to Luc and Ruby and then returned to the palace for the night. 

Dem, who had talked the less all this time, regained his liveliness once we were alone. The drastic change in his mood was too clear.
