章 141: Breaking A Promise

"I didn't expect Lauriel to come out of his seclusion," Sophia said, pouring herself wine after Lauriel and Aleksis left. "He almost looked… normal. I only remember him as someone who disliked humans and preferred to be alone. Who would have thought that he would be in one of the most densely populated cities in the world? It's amazing how love can turn someone around like this..."

"Everyone can change." Caspar shrugged. "You were a purist, now you have also changed. You even betrayed your brother to help me."

Sophia took a sip of wine then looked down and played with her glass. "I didn't expect my brother to do such a trick. I supported him in becoming the clan leader, but not by such deceit. I still can't believe he sacrificed his girlfriend for his cause... If he considers Famke expendable, I'm afraid that someday he will sacrifice me too ..."

"Alexei is mentally ill," Caspar commented. "My people are still trying to track him down. He must be stopped."
