The Ancient Beast (Adere's Mission)

Chapter 43

When he marched up to her where she was seated he stood before her and then sighed deeply. He was not sure if actually she understood what was happening but he was going to apologise anyway. She held her hand and said to her, "I am sorry for what happened. I did not want to do anything that could make you mad at me but I could not help it when you shouted at Edu. I want you to know something; in as much as it sounds like I prefer Edu to you, I do not, you are a person from the land whence I came. I can not choose one and leave the other. I choose you both. You need to come to the conclusion that it was because of Edu that everything became well for us. Have you thought for a second that he was the reason we were able to leave the land of Zinu alive? I just want you to believe the fact that if not for him we would be dead by now. Here we are and alive and the best we can do even if we no longer trust him is to follow him with wisdom and carefulness"
