Capítulo 475: Chapter 475: Blood Clan

Demetrius didn't give me time to wallow in my sorrow.

"You will join her," he said, madness in his eyes, but cunning too. And the cunning I trusted. "You will be her responsibility."

Charlotte chuffed softly and I caught her actually laughing. Not a little laugh like she sometimes allowed to escape. She drew a breath and began to howl, slapping her knee with her open hand, wiping tears from her eyes as Demetrius grinned at her.

Clearly I was missing something.

"Brilliant," Charlotte choked. "Just brilliant."

"I'm all ears." I looked back and forth between them, patience so thin I could poke a finger through it.

"She will be forced to protect you," Charlotte said while Demetrius bobbed his head and wheezed a laugh. "Meanwhile, you can gather power and plot to kill her and no one will say anything."

What kind of screwed up system was this? "So if I'm outside the family, she's off limits, but if I'm one of hers, I can kill her and no one will give a crap?"
