Zeau closed his eyes, sighing and he snatched his arm back.
I'm sorry, Eona.
You were the only friend and the only angel I accepted in my entire life, but that's just as far as it goes.
Zeau ignored her pleading voice that grew softer and softer, and every step he took felt heavier and heavier.
"I'm so sorry, I could only save your brother in the end. Don't let that sadness and anger overwhelm you. Live a long and happy life for me, hmm? This is my last wish, my love, Veau. Be happy and be free, just like the little devil you are."
Veau gritted his jaw, and just like his mother, he struggled out her grasp.
Eona.
I'm sorry.
I...can't do it.
Veau felt a hand on his shoulder, startling him out of his daze. He met Zeau's curious eyes and he regained his composure, clearing his throat.
"Is there a need to look at me this closely, brother?"
"Tell me honestly."
Veau blinked in confusion.
Zeau narrowed his eyes.
