(From Blue's Perspective)
I did not think it would be this fun to talk to Luc. Now it seed to be a good idea that I ca here.
"You two are doing better than I thought," Luc said laughing. "I thought that guy would not even find a mate. You know, kings choose their own mates. They don't have fated mates. He was always so distant and you see, he doesn't even talk to people properly. So I thought he would always be single.
But to think he would marry and also go against everyone else to marry the person he likes, it's really... What can I even say? I know him the best and even I'm surprised."
"He didn't tell you anything about before?" I asked. "He said he had known for long."
"He just told that he has a girl in mind who he wants to make his mate. That was a long ti ago. We were pretty young back then. Perhaps we were seventeen or eighteen then. He was gloomy back then as well. But after we found Lady Evelyn back, he suddenly ca said that he found the perfect person for him," Luc said.
"Found Evelyn back? What do you an?"
"He didn't tell you? I thought that guy tells you everything," Luc said. "Anyway, seven years ago, Evelyn got lost once. I don't know what happened. It's a secret. He didn't tell even .
Before, he used to stay quiet whenever it ca to the talk of choosing a mate. It was like he did not care at all. I had already assud that he is going for the 'no mate, fuck off' life. But then one day when I asked him about it just to be sure, he said that he has soone in mind and he is sure about her. I was really- it was like trying to swallow a stone.
I thought he was just joking though he is not soone to joke about sothing like that. I asked for the person's appearance and he just said that she had blue eyes and brownish-black hair. And that's all. He wouldn't tell anything else. And his reasoning was- 'You might fall for her'."
I did not even know how to react. I had no idea he was this serious about for a long ti. A tingly sensation ford inside my stomach and my cheeks were burning. I covered half of my face with my palm while making it look not so intentional.
'You never told this, Dem.'
"But I still never thought that he was serious. Not until he truly brought you here. Honestly, that's the first ti I knew that he was talking about a human. He used to surprise with his actions when we were little, but as ti went by, I understood him and that brat never could surprise anymore. But he surprised with you. Ugh, I wanted to be at the wedding.
But he gave a lot of work... Now, look at . I don't even have a mate and I'm this old," Luc said.
"You're not that old. Aren't you of Detrius's age?" I asked.
"Yeah, but still, twenty-four isn't less," Luc sighed. "By the way, how old are you? You look pretty young. Are you eighteen or sothing?"
"Yes."
"What? You're eighteen? Only eighteen? I was just joking, but I didn't think... Well, you look like eighteen years old, but I didn't think you would actually be... So that's what he ant by waiting.
He was waiting for you to co of age. That perv... he had definitely been thinking about perverted things for a long ti."
I blushed even harder. That pervert... Now that I went through everything again- I needed to ask him if he actually wanted to marry seven years ago. It was weird. I was only eleven back then.
"So how is he treating you?"
"Um, good I guess," I said.
"That's not even an answer. Don't be like his. He is the 'just answer, no shit' type of man, but it's pretty boring. You can't even converse like that," Luc said impatiently. But the Detrius he was talking about did not match the person I was married to. Detrius did not talk less; rather he liked talking a lot, especially if he could tease about it.
This thought had crossed my mind before too- 'Was he like that with only?'
The things he said yesterday ca to my mind. 'You know, I've been wondering all this ti. Why am I like that with you? I never thought I would be able to smile freely. I never even thought of smiling. Smile and happiness were sothing kings aren't supposed to have.
But then why? When I'm with you, why do I feel happy? Every ti you look at , I feel different. It's like a heavyweight is lifted from my chest.'
The way he looked when he said all this was hard, no, impossible to forget. Even he was confused. What could I say? I was confused as well. It could not be love. There was no way it could be love.
We had been together for a very short ti. No matter how long he had known , the ti of us together was not enough to fall in love.
But was it true for ? No, it had to be true. Love was not sothing to happen this quick. I was perhaps mistaking those weird feelings for love. That must be the case.
Now that Luc asked how he was, if I wanted to tell the truth, it would be-
"He talks a lot," I said. Luc was surprised, even Ezekiel was shocked. I had almost forgotten he was here all along. He was too silent. And he did not make many facial expressions. It was always hard to understand him.
It always bothered when I could not understand soone. I always felt quite intrigued talking to them. Perhaps that was why I was awkward with him.
