บท 186: The Banquet (3)

(From Blue's Perspective)

"And then there's this unsettling sensation of being watched," I sighed. "Really? I can't even enjoy my life now."

"Blue," Luc said. "I know it's difficult to hear, but have you ever lived a life where you didn't have to worry about anything, where you weren't treated unfairly, and where you were truly free?"

"Not worry about anything... not being treated harshly... and be free...," I mumbled. 

The answer was clear. When I used to live with my parents and brothers, I was not treated with love. It had been like this for seventeen years and three hundred and sixty-three days. After I got married, everything changed. My husband showered me with love with only one condition- no matter what, I must never leave him. 

My life was no longer as it had been. I was not beaten up and no one said anything harsh to me. But I was forbidden from growing my wings. So, freedom was not something I could ever get. But I liked the cage.
