"I agree!" Eve's head snapped toward Damien. She could not believe that he accepted to give up on his position, his estate, his people when he cared too much about them.
He had saved most of them himself.
"Damien!"
"I am tired, Eve. now i want to take care of you and our child." he knew what she was going to ask. And he was not sure if he could continue to refuse if she asked him directly. "I have done enough for everyone. Now I want to live for myself. Do I not deserve it?" Eve closed her eyes. He deserved much more than that.
He had always chosen the empire, his people before everyone. So she was not sure. But looking at his exhausted face and pleading eyes, she felt she had been too harsh on him.
"Midnight Star, do you not want a free life?" Eve shook her head. The offer was much better than they could expect. Neither she nor Damien wanted to take the responsibility of the whole empire.
