Edwin felt the need to sit down after hearing what Elsie told him. Rees rushed to get him a glass of water which Edwin did not deny. Rees did not tell Edwin about the conversation between him and Lord Augustus for this very reason.
He did not want to upset Edwin.
Elsie sat in front of Edwin on the floor. She held his knees as she earnestly said, "Brother, I do not know what is wrong with father. I do not understand what has gotten into him. Dealing with it is not our priority.
Our priority is our people! I am going to be the Luna of the Bluemoon pack one day. Those are my people as much as Vincardine's. I have responsibilities towards them. And I do not want to ignore my responsibilities, like my father.
Please let me come with you brother Edwin. I do not know how I am going to help you or will I be of any help in the first place. Still, I want to come. I can not sit idly watching my people getting hurt."
