The Reply

(From Blue's Perspective) 

Even after six days passed, there was no trace of Berry, Dem's spy. It was truly worrying. Dem was not worried about what happened to her. He was more interested in knowing why she reported to me and gave me that piece of paper. 

"Your Highness, the bird...," Ruby mumbled, looking at the window. 

"Ah, the bird," I said as I hurriedly went near the window. The bird sat on my shoulder and the nails dug into my flesh. But I did not care about that. I was more curious to see Evan's reply. 

"Your Highness, your shoulder!" Ruby exclaimed worriedly. 

"It's alright. This bird sits wherever it wants, so..." 

I opened the seal hurriedly. The letter was very short, but it contained the words I wanted to hear the most. 

Dear Blue,
