บท 594: The Past

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

Blue was under a lot of pressure and I had no way of taking it away. I wanted to make it our fight, not only my wife's. But in the end, Azure wanted Blue, her power, and most possibly our son. He saw no one else and wanted no one else. I even wondered if Azure would kill others if he had Blue. He was killing so Blue would give in. It was not really a game, was it? It was just a bargain, whether Blue realized it or not.

"A bargain," I mumbled, without even meaning to do it. I had been feeling strange for the last few days. I thought Evelyn's kidnap would have less effect on me. While I did not miss her much (we never spent too much time together), I wanted her to be safe.

"What you are feeling is entirely normal," Blue told me when I told her this. "A brother is supposed to be worried about his sister."
