Leonel didn't want to think about why the Demoness had chosen to turn his uncle and aunt into Invalids. But his mind whirred to its own conclusions almost instantly.
And it filled him with fury.
He knew when he sent his uncle out it would probably be the last time he saw him. He told his uncle to call on his name should he ever need help, but Montez… he would never do that.
Especially not if he ran into the Demoness, only to find that his wife had already become an Invalid.
Even Leonel couldn't trust what he would do in such a situation.
He hadn't been there, he hadn't sensed it, but looking into his uncle's eyes from the distance, he knew how it had gone nonetheless.
Much like he had almost been, his uncle was just yet another sacrifice, his wife nothing more than a small pawn to lure him in.
