Convince

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

Whenever a man was near Blue other than Luc, I always worried about whether they fell in love with her or not. The incident with Ezekiel triggered it more. 

I got used to Calix and most other knights; I did not worry about them much since their love for her was based on loyalty towards their master. But I could not read King Ford's mind since he was a dark mage. So, whenever he was near her, I got anxious and jealous. Though she always kept a proper distance, it still did not help with my condition. 

I could not get the thought of King Ford liking my wife romantically get out of my head, albeit she told me many times that it was not the case. 

"How can him sending me reports be anything similar to him liking me? How did you even link those two things?" she grumbled. "You and I both know that it's not the case. He sent it because he trusts us."

"No, not us," I said. "He trusts 'you'."
