An arduous decision

"Mom—"

"Shut up, Rain!" Their mother snapped at him. "And you, Lyre. What is this thing that you have done? I brought you into this family in good thoughts, but you thought to seduce my son?"

"I'm sorry, mother! It was my fault. I seduced Rain. He doesn't want me, but I had to force him." Lyre sniffed.

"Don't cry, Lyre. It's not your fault." Rain wiped Lyre's tears. "Stop crying, you will expose your identity." He whispered into Lyre's ears.

Lyre sniffed.

Without Rain to remind him, he has already forgotten who he was.

"I'm sorry, mother. If you want to take your anger out, please take it out on me. Lyre has nothing to do with this.

I was the one who seduced him." Rain protectively stood in front of Lyre.

"And now you are protecting him?" Their mother narrowed her eyes. "Meet me out in the parlour. The others need to know about this." She said before she matched out of the kitchen, to the parlour.
