Warlock Ch 367. He Knows His Enemy
Evelyn looked back down at Damian, who was now circling a monster like a predator on the edge of patience. "Because he knows his enemy."
Selena frowned slightly. "The senators?"
"Them," Evelyn said. "And the corrupted within the council. But also others. Hidden players. He doesn't say it outright, but I know what he's feeling." She exhaled. "They're not just powerful, Selena. They're smart. Ruthless. They use people. Burn them. And they never fight fair."
Selena tightened her arms around herself.
Evelyn continued, her voice gentler now. "Damian doesn't want to be a burden to us. That's what drives him the most. He doesn't fight to prove he's stronger. He fights because... he's scared we'll get hurt."
Selena blinked. That word. Scared. It didn't fit the Damian she knew. Not the one casting spells like storms or tearing monsters apart with burning spears.
"He's desperate," Evelyn murmured. "You can feel it in the way he moves, right?"
