Demian knew he was smart. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive in managing the Windsor family's domain. There were monster issues and budgets that had to be adjusted every year. And thank goodness because the Winsors are a wealthy family just like the Lucsors.
He was smart. However, he had no idea what was really going on in that meeting room. About what Lady Effie Berdine had done to the king and Lady Eleonora. It was just that his instinct told him that if he didn't do as Lady Eleonora told him, he would die.
He followed Lady Eleonora hurriedly to their carriage. On the way she bumped into Thy, the palace butler. The man looked at him as if he was a predator marking game.
Demian almost fell over when he saw their carriage in the palace courtyard. When Lady Eleonora ran towards the carriage he did the same. His breathing was labored as he climbed the stairs of the carriage after Lady Eleonora.
