Chapter 238: For You, I Did Pretend And Embraced Happiness
[KAWAI]
"That’s easy. Come. Let’s go sparring. I don’t have much to do since everyone seems to be walking on eggshells around me. I doubt they would ever let me into Papa’s study to start thinking of helping the kingdom," Tamiko said casually like what he had said didn’t sound like a call for help.
Everyone was scared of him, scared of upsetting him, and rightly so.
They had seen the way the boy had spent the entire week being broken because of his Erasthai. They had seen his light fade in the distance because they didn’t even know the first thing that they needed to do to help him out.
It had been a crazy week for them and while it had just been barely days off the limit, they had seen and felt the pain that the young Lycan had felt. Perhaps they were avoiding him because they didn’t want to force him back into the one place that had hurt him to the core.
It was a time that had fucked him over and everyone was not sure if he would lose control again. They had seen him become a danger to the people around him, and then become a Lycan that had just lost his mate.
He had been everything that they didn’t understand and he had been the best trigger of the chaos.
Granted, none of them still understood what it meant to be in Tamiko’s shoes but one thing that the entire Kawai had come to make peace with was the fact that the kid was not like his father.
No one had ever seen King Zaffuto cry out for his Erasthai like Tamiko had. They had never watched an emotion on the king’s face save for the one day that Liana had been lost.
