“AQUILES, what are you doing here?” tanong ni Lucian. “It’s not that you’re not welcome here, but you’re…”
“I’m here to ask your wife to train Blythe.”
Kumunot ang nuo ni Lawrence. “Train?” nagtaka siya. “Anong ibig mong sabihin?”
Aquiles sighed and shook his head. “Nothing. Just ask your son.”
Tumaas ang kilay ni Lucian. “I’ve been here for nearly three decades. Minsan lang ako lumalabas sa lugar na ‘to. Marami na akong hindi alam tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa labas ng Paradise. At alam kong hindi ka rin lumalabas sa mundo niyo. Anong nangyari at lumabas ka?”
“Blythe is Alastair’s daughter. My brother found his mate and the council was against their union, so he abdicated and gave it to our cousin, Sebastian Ellis.”
Natawa si Lucian. “Sebastian Ellis? That greedy cousin of yours.”
