Capítulo 450: Goodbye

(From Blue's Perspective)

Dem would head to the palace first before leaving for the battlefield. I stood in his office while he was talking to Evan about some documents. I was distressed but did not want to show it lest it should worry him. I wanted him to see me brave when he left, and not a complete mess like I felt right now. 

"I wish the King of Trouvaille would keep your end of the deal," Dem said. "I hope I can rely on you about that… Why don't you sit down, my dear? Why are you standing?"

"No…," I mumbled. "My back hurts from sitting."

I had sat for so long these days that even this simple and comforting felt like hell to me. My back was aching as if I was now fifty years old and my bones are weak. 

I did not bother to ask what kind of deal they made as they looked like they wanted to keep it between themselves. I did not want to discover anything shocking anymore as my heart was not strong enough at the moment to bear it.
