Scared

(From Blue's Perspective)

Dem was waiting for me in the dining hall. He smiled at me as soon as I entered and rose from his seat to take my hand. He pulled the chair for me and helped me sit down. 

I tried to return the smile as well. Our food was served and the maids left quickly. Calix went to the grand bedroom to put the books there. I carried them everywhere in case I wanted to read. 

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?" he asked worriedly. 

"Ah, I am sorry," I said. 

"Did something occur?"

"It's just… He talked to me today."

"He?" he asked, raising his brow at me. "… Your biological father?"

"Yeah…"

"When?" he asked. His expression turned gloomy in a split second.
