rcury grimaced at the crowd's applause. Priam had turned Claire into a symbol of the hardships raining down on them. Most were thrilled to see humanity striking back. Even if it ant taking the life of a young woman, he lanted.
rcury's perspective was more nuanced, understanding that certain deeds were necessary. Claire's death was a grim necessity, but rejoicing in it? That was a different matter.
His gaze shifted to Priam. The Champion was undeniably strong and charismatic and vowed to slay their enemies. How could they not be enamored by him? Had they even realized that he never promised to shield them? They revered the Spear for its strength, but they'd need a Shield. Priam would never allow himself to be bound in such a way...
From the corner of his eye, rcury noticed the Champion's somber expression. A man who was both strong and honest, who took no pleasure in killing or manipulating his kin? That was a pleasant surprise.
Despite his flaws, I've bet on the right horse.
Sphinx and Blueberry had looked at Priam strangely when he posed the question. Sphinx simply replied that if he decided to leave without her, she'd ow like an abandoned kitten. The image broke Priam's heart.
anwhile, Blueberry calmly explained that the Crimson Fruit he had brought Priam was a kind of admission ticket.
"I hope Air Priam serves hors d'oeuvres during the transport..."
"There's magic water?"
"Hum By the way, are you aware that Sphinx will want to bring Rose?"
Priam wasn't. He hesitated for a few minutes before discussing it with his father.
"If she wants to co... She's a brave girl who doesn't have any family left. She doesn't even have a world to return to, so I suppose she'll have to spend several months alone on the Moon?"
Priam wasn't ready to abandon a teenager. In the end, he simply asked the interested party for her opinion. Sphinx found and brought Rose to the barbecue in less than five minutes. The teenager imdiately accepted the invitation.
"I want to be with you and Sphinx! Elysium sounds incredible, I could get strong enough to bring back Mom..."
The sentence hung in the air, but Priam was almost sure Rose also wanted to bring her father back. That's a problem for my future self.
In the end, it took Blueberry over an hour to light the fire.
