Chapter 203: One Time For The Past…
[KAWAI]
"... He never stopped waiting and looking for you, which is why he let you bring me along when he found you. The man may not be a monster, Tamiko, but if he loses you again, the realm will literally burn.
"You heard him last time at the breakfast table," Danny said casually like it did not mean much, like the fate of everyone in the realm was bound to Tamiko. But then it was the truth.
Danny was being realistic right now and it was up to Tamiko to decide if he wanted a good memory or if he wanted to be the man who forced the king into a corner that doomed the entirety of Kawai.
"That sounds a lot like blackmail to me. I only want my erasthai to want me, is that so hard for everyone to accept?" Tamiko asked defeatedly.
He was desperately holding on to the possibility of Konstantin wanting him back, of Igor looking at him the same way.
He was desperate to be in Erasthai’s hold and yet right now it seemed like he had to deal with his father because if he just left his father would use his erasthai as the bait and it wasn’t comforting at all.
"No, it is not. But when you are a father and the one who had been looking for his son for years and years on and. Sometimes everyone gets reduced to a pawn on the chessboard just to keep the son close.
"I am certain he doesn’t see it as making life harder for people. He only sees it as a way of keeping you close. A way of loving you and telling you that you won’t be hurt again. Only that he is a man so used to pain and one who had seen the worst of the worst come to life.
