Chapter 103 - Side Story: Cant Stay, Cant Follow (2/2)
”What?”
”Nothing. We just saw a few things using Muriel's scrying magic. We must've mistaken Vera for you. How did she even get like that? We couldn't have known since you two look so similar now. That���s why Muriel's been short with you.”
”Yes. I guessed that.” After finding out about Vera's transformation the pieces fell together easily. I knew there was a reason Damien mistook us, I just didn't know why until then. ”Something happened. She's entered a.d.u.l.thood early due to a certain complication, that's why she and I now look alike.”
”I see. He cheated on her then.” He observed. ”Little shit.”
”He certainly goes after what he wants,” I said drily. Unlike…
But I couldn't say it.
”Want me to beat him up for you?”
I felt my anger flare. What did he mean by asking me that? I told him I let Damien have s.e.x with me. Did he think that I've been wronged? I'm far from innocent.
”He is my lover.” Was all the response I gave. Even I felt my words were clipped. I felt sick. Did the man really not care at all that I was having s.e.x with his son?
”Oh, I think that point is clear.” He laughed. ”I've never seen you holding onto anyone like that. I take it that means you like the brat?” A grin.
Somehow I felt his words grating. ”No, I let him f.u.c.k me because I hate him. Are you stupid?”
”You've gotten a bit vulgar, haven't you?” A lift of the lips.
”I'm already shameless, don't you think? I may as well be vulgar too.”
”Shameless?” He stopped. ”I don't think that at all. Why would you say that?”
”To have s.e.x with the son of a longtime friend isn't shameless?” I asked back. ”I'm several thousands of years older than both of you. I'm basically a granny. ”
”You're a woman.” He shrugged. ”Besides, with Muriel's bloodline maybe it's expected for you to be attracted to him. What does your age even matter? Long as you look young and pretty. I mean Muriel's a good few centuries older than me, too.”
”So you're fine with this. It doesn't bother you.”
He really doesn't care at all. Well, I knew that. This shouldn't change anything. It doesn't. No matter how much it hurt.
”Honestly? I'm just glad you found someone.” He stated. ”I really am.” His smile faltered. ”But you know you can't stay with him...right?”
I walked on in silence. Idiot. How couldn't I know? I understood very well. ”He can't remain here.” I answered.
Elias trailed along in a more subdued fashion. I could hear the reluctance in his steps. The guilt. ”I'm sorry.”
”He's hostile to the Angelic faction now. You can't send him to the Angels like you wanted. You can't let him stay, not unless you want to let Muriel kill Alex and marry him off to Dahlia. Not to mention that she'll bring a war here soon enough.” One that would surely devastate me. Maybe kill me. But what did that matter?
As for the Angels, that's the least of the problem Damien had.
”There's no way he can stay. You were always going to have him leave anyway.”
”I'm really sorry.” He repeated. ” I didn't know this would happen. You and him…”
”It's fine.” I waved off his concern. ”You were right. We have to get him away from here.” I turned off my heartache, from Elias' lack of care, from having to give up Damien's, and planned. ” I'll do it when they come for the Gate. He and Muriel both want to go to the Dragon ancestral homeworld, albeit for different reasons. I'll take the chance to send him away. Him, Dolly, Baz, Vera. I'll send them far away. Where no one could find them.”
Not even a Divine.
”Thank you.” He released a breath of relief. ”And, uh, I know it's a bad time to ask, but...since when did you have a tail? And what's with the purple streaks in your hair? And we should find you some actual clothes, you can't just go walking around in that blanket all the time. By the way, are you using a new perfume lately or something? It's really strong. It smells a little familiar, too...almost like...hmm...” He cast a suspicious eye over me. He coughed, turning to walk away. ”Well, nevermind. Forget I asked.”
Ah...the humiliation….
Somewhat, it's not so bad, actually...
