Yorick:
Clementine was finally in front of me. When my father arrived home, he told me that everything was prepared, but that I needed to go and fetch my own gift.
I was really excited. I went straight to the location my father had given me. Just as they had told me, Clementine was sleeping peacefully in one of the bedrooms.
However, I still had to do whatever was necessary to play the part.
I attacked the mansion with some of my warriors. The guards had no clue we were arriving. I bet they did not even know they were holding a crusader captive in the mansion.
When I opened the door and saw Clementine, I was relieved that she was in a comfortable state and that she did not have any bruises.
Even though her legs were cuffed together, I did not like the sight of it. But it was all important.
I carried her into the car, where she finally fell asleep. That made me feel so good. It was probably because she felt comfortable around me.
There were moments when she woke up and sleepily wanted to be reunited with Ian. I ignored those moments, but they stayed in my head.
I mean, I definitely noticed them. She did not speak of anybody, anybody but Ian. Then she uttered something about Miss Rue. I remembered everything.
I wondered when she would wake up and ask me about the crime I had been accused of.
I took her home and made her lie down in my own bedroom. When I stepped out, I made sure she was still passed out because I did not want her to get up and wander around. Things needed to go our way because if I let her be in charge of her life, I knew she would wander away.
"So, how are you feeling?" my mother asked, smiling at me as I walked downstairs and sat at the dining table with them.
"Well, you kept your promise. I like the gift," I replied with a smile on my lips. "But has there been any luck with Leysa? If she is out there, she will definitely go to people and tell them all about us," I told my mother.
She rolled her eyes and gave me a blunt look. Ever since Leysa ran out, which was yesterday, we had been extremely worried.
There were no signs of her. We tried to look for her on our property, but she was not there.
She might not have gone too far, but we were checking every pack house, and we had strengthened the border security.
We also informed the warriors not to let anyone in or out of the border.
I wished we had killed her. It had already been decided that she was useless. My brother did not accept her as a sacrifice, so now we were back to zero.
We needed someone from Clementine’s family who would be accepted as a sacrifice. Since Leysa was not, I wondered who else it could be.
