Bab 324: So what if it is?

''You must be wondering how we were aware of this,'' Luciana looked at the man coldly, ''That should be because you never saw Esme as a threat. She has powers, Uncle. You lowered her guard in front of her and she grasped every opportunity you offered. She has regained her memories a long time ago and we have been aware of what you are up to.'' 

Jeremiah looked at Luciana in disbelief before he glanced at the woman whom he was holding tightly. 

The very same woman he had always seen as weak and pathetic. How could she have any powers? 

Luciana scoffed when she saw the disbelief on his face. She looked at Esme, ''Es, you don't have to do this anymore. The Duke is safe now... you...'' she trailed off gradually.

''Esme?" Luciana called out softly. 

''Tired..'' Esme mumbled, rubbing her eyes. 

''Esme...'' Luciana's heart skipped a beat when she saw how nonchalant Esme seemed to be.
