"Mother, travel safely. And if you need anything, send us a letter. This is Ben, the mage who is going to go with you to ensure your safety. He will also deliver any letter to us if you need to," I said.
Mother was going on the vacation she mentioned to Dem in a letter. Dean and I saw her off. Dem was reluctant, but I forced him to come with me.
"Yes, I will. You two should be careful as well. The rebels are very active these days," Mother said. No matter how many times I looked at her, I still could not get used to the fact that she was Dem's mother. She looked just too young. "Demetrius, take care of Blue. She is a frail child."
"I take care of her, Mother," Dem said.
"And take care of your health as well. Blue, please take care of this son of mine. He doesn't listen to me. But at least, he listens to you."
"Don't worry, Mother. I will take care of him," I said.
