I Can Be Anything For Love

(From Blue's Perspective)

I took the sword from Perita's hand and placed the blade on her head. It was the way a knight showed utmost loyalty and the ruler accepted it. 

My heart was hammering in my chest. Where did I get that much courage and confidence? Probably what happened to Dem had shaken me too much. 

When I entered the courtroom, I felt my soul would leave my body. The dress I was wearing was way out of my comfort zone. Dem had gotten it for me once and said maybe I would wear it someday. It was after I got pregnant when I said no dresses would fit me after a few months. 

She stood by my side with a proud grin. It reassured me. I knew they would oppose me if I asked them to follow my lead on the battlefield, the lead of a mere human. That was why I had to do it.
