"She is my sister."
"..."
The revelation hung in the air, a heavy silence following Damien's words. Samiel's eyes widened in shock, the conflicting emotions intensifying. The others around them, including Zyra'kai, Veronica, and Lord Magnus, exchanged surprised glances.
"Your sister?" Samiel repeated, his voice a mixture of disbelief and realization.
Damien nodded, his expression pained. "Yes, she is my sister. Her name is Lila. But you have to know that she's not in control of herself. The Crimson Queen has been twisting her mind and manipulating her."
Samiel's fists clenched at his sides, the anger still present but now mingled with a sense of empathy. The Crimson Princess, or Lila as Damien referred to her, lay unconscious nearby, still a threat despite her current state.
"Tc, tch, tch."
"It's not nice to badmouth others right in front of them, you know."
