Bab 147: Bonelake

After returning from the border, Azure found himself standing in front of the execution hole, listening to the account of what had transpired on the night Rhea was rescued. Meanwhile, Delia remained crouched beside the hole, her face streaked with silent tears. Azure had heard that she had been there for days.

Despite the Villden family's attempts to make her leave, Delia had adamantly refused, choosing to stay and mourn Cal's death. Delia had been in love with him for years, but Cal had never acknowledged her feelings. Finally, when he had started treating her well, he was taken away. Delia had even contemplated forgiving Rhea and becoming a good sister to her, all for Cal's sake...

Azure heard Delia's sobs, with a sigh he held out his hand and helped her up, he then pulled her into his embrace to console her, he ran his hand up and down her back, "You should go home," he said, then pulled back from the embrace, "Cal wouldn't want you sitting here all day."
