“I understand you must be curious. Since Sirius didn’t restrict my freedom and even let Azalea keep me company, I could’ve escaped again by threatening to harm her. However, I didn’t want to do that because I wasn’t willing to put her in a tight spot again.
Please don’t read too much into it. I just didn’t want to owe her another favor. After she released me six years ago, Sirius almost hit her to death. She was confined to a dark room for three months. If not for the fact that Hayes bestowed the title ‘Princess Azalea’ on her and forgave Sirius for the insurgency, she would’ve lost her life.”
After a brief silence, Eugene continued, “Therefore, I could never threaten her to run away again. She’s saved my life before, so I can never do enough to repay her favor. There’s no reason for me to say no since it was her birthday. Moreover, I knew Hayes would be attending the party, so I’d rather let Hayes take me away than make things difficult for her. I didn’t know you were worried about me. You even came to Nambahd in a hurry to save me. I’m sorry, Olivia. From now on, I’ll tell you everything. Please don’t get mad at me.”
Olivia listlessly leaned against the chair. She knew that Eugene must have left out a lot of details as it was only a simplified version of the whole story.
He and Azalea had spent over ten days together, so it was unlikely they did not develop any feelings for each other. They did not end up getting together because they were on opposing sides.
“Why didn’t you choose to work with Sirius?” she asked. Eugene took a deep breath and explained, “I already agreed to help Hayes. Moreover, he was already on the winning side at that time, so I couldn’t possibly side with Sirius.”
Olivia said matter-of-factly, “So, you didn’t end up together with Azalea for that reason.” He hurriedly denied it by saying, “No, no, no. We were never meant to be together.”
