Chapter 19: Crumpled
"What?" All that she managed to get out as she sat there in her seat.
Her mind was completely blank at the moment. She couldn’t seem to be able to process his words.
"Papa," She finally managed to get out, "You can’t mean that, you wouldn’t." Yes her father loved her so much to let her marry some stranger and her brothers, they wouldn’t ever let her do something she didn’t want to.
She whispered as she looked at him for confirmation.
Beatrix wanted Ares to appear just to start laughing, and then hug her and say it’s all a big joke, that the entire ordeal was just that; they were just playing a prank on her.
But she knew better. No wonder Ares had been so angry earlier and left.
Now everything made sense. Their anger in the gym room. Her father might have told them so they all knew and had agreed to it?
But why? This was so out of character unless they weren’t telling her everything.
They were hiding something from her because why would they be overprotective over all these years just to marry her off because of some stupid upcoming war.
