(From Blue's Perspective)
Demetrius came back to the bedroom that evening. I was signing a few papers when the door suddenly burst open and he came in.
"Ah, Dem... You are early tonight...," I said, looking up from the documents.
"Actually, the Duke of Ataraxia will come tonight," he said. "Luc sent me a letter just a while ago. I was in the middle of a meeting, so I came back as soon as possible to tell you this. He contacted him this afternoon and the duke said he can come tonight."
"Why do I feel like that's not the whole case?" I asked, eyeing him.
"... You always see through me," he sighed guiltily. "Well, it's not like I did something huge. I just blackmailed him a bit."
"Blackmailed?" I repeated. "Why would you blackmail him?"
"If I told him to come just like that, he would not. So, I threatened him a bit so he can't refuse and does as I tell him to."
"What did you even blackmail him with?"
