At that moment Damien’s eyes remained locked onto Serenity, his patience wearing dangerously thin. His voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge to it, like a blade ready to cut.

“Do you even know what it took to get those herbs, Serenity?”

Again his tone wasn’t raised, but the weight of his words pressed into the air.

“Do you actually know?”

The silence that followed was deafening.

And yet, she had destroyed them without hesitation.

Damien exhaled slowly, the flicker of anger in his gaze barely contained.

“I don’t have much to say to you.”

But before he could turn to leave, Serenity stepped forward, cutting him off.

Her voice was sharp, unwavering. “Spare me the act, Damien.”

Her eyes burned with certainty, her entire presence radiating defiance. “You think I don’t know?”

She let out a bitter scoff, shaking her head.

“You think I don’t see through you?”

“You want me to believe that you went through all this trouble just to heal my grandfather?” she continued, her tone dripping wit

    But even as her mind raced with alarming possibilities about potential threats, she forced herself to look more carefully and analytically at the luxurious vehicle to gather more information before jumping to conclusions.Sophia literally gazed at the impressive Mercedes bus even more intently and thoroughly, studying every detail of its exterior design and markings to determine whether it carried any official symbols, crests, or insignia that might reveal its true purpose and origin.However, upon closer inspection, she realized that it didn't actually display anything that had obvious connections to the royal family, palace security, or any other government agencies that she could recognize, which made her feel both relieved and extremely more curious about who might be inside.The absence of royal markings meant this probably wasn't an official summons or royal guard action, but it also meant she had no way to predict what kind of people or intentions were behind this unexpected ar

    At that moment, absorbing Sophia's fierce words and recognizing that pushing the issue further would only deepen her suspicions and protective anger, her grandfather decided that tactical retreat was the wisest course of action for the present.He nodded his head with careful acceptance and the diplomatic restraint of someone who understood when to step back from a losing argument and wait for better opportunities to rebuild damaged relationships.“No problem at all, Sophia - I am fully aware and conscious of all the valid concerns you've raised about my past behavior and your current distrust,” the grandfather said with measured calm and apparent acceptance of her position. “And I genuinely don't want to disturb you about anything or continue this uncomfortable conversation when you're clearly upset and protective of Damien's interests.”His tone became more conciliatory and supportive. “Since you literally came home specifically to rest and find some peace away from whatever stres

    Immediately, Sophia turned toward her grandfather with fire in her eyes and a voice filled with righteous anger about his past actions and current attempts to make superficial amends without acknowledging the full scope of his betrayal.“Why exactly should I be happy about your sudden change of heart?” she demanded with bitter sarcasm and accumulated hurt. “Happy about the fact that you literally sold Damien out to War Goddess Serenity, sharing confidential information about him that you had no right to disclose to anyone?”Her voice rose with indignation as she outlined the full extent of his treacherous behavior. “You deliberately betrayed his trust and violated basic principles of honor and hospitality, putting him in potential danger by revealing details about his identity and activities to people who could use that information against him.”Sophia's expression showed both pain and determination as she continued her accusation. “If it weren't for the fact that I literally washed

    At that moment, hearing what her grandfather had just said with such pointed curiosity about Damien's true identity and obvious suspicion that there was much more to him than she had previously revealed, Sophia was taken aback and felt defensive alarm rising in her chest.She realized that she absolutely didn't want her grandfather to literally discover anything specific concerning Damien's secret identity or his true role in the country, because such knowledge could potentially put both Damien and her family in serious danger.Her protective instincts kicked in as she understood that Damien's safety and the security of his operations depended on maintaining strict confidentiality about who he really was, and she couldn't allow her grandfather's growing curiosity to compromise that vital secrecy.In her mind, she knew that Damien needed to be protected from exposure at all costs, but she wasn't entirely sure how she was going to deflect her grandfather's increasingly pointed questions

    Damien turned his attention toward Sophia and gestured for her to come closer with the deliberate movement of someone who needed to have a private conversation away from other ears.“Sophia, I need to speak with you for a moment about something important,” Damien said with gentle urgency and genuine concern for her wellbeing mixed with the need to discuss matters that required privacy.Sophia immediately followed him without question, recognizing the serious expression on his face and understanding that he had something significant to discuss that required stepping away from her grandfather's hearing.When Sophia literally followed him across the driveway and they reached the area where Damien had parked his vehicle, creating enough distance from her grandfather to have a confidential conversation, Sophia felt compelled to share her growing anxiety about the situation.“Damien, I am very, very worried about all of this,” she said with genuine fear and confusion evident in her voice.

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damien had just said about needing Brian to remain focused and attentive despite his personal happiness, the brain immediately nodded his head with the professional dedication and loyalty that had made him such a valuable member of Damien's inner circle.“No problem at all - I completely understand the priorities here,” Brian said with renewed focus and determination in his voice. “I'm going to be working diligently on gathering all the intelligence you need, and I'm going to make absolutely sure that yes, everything literally goes well and proceeds exactly the way it's supposed to for our mission's success.”His tone carried both gratitude for Damien's support and commitment to not letting personal matters interfere with professional excellence. “You have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to my performance or dedication to our cause, because I'm not going to let my personal life distract me from what needs to be done.”The brain's voi
