Chapter Thirty Five: Edmund
I felt stupid. I had gone and apologized to Thalia. She had just nodded and walked away looking busy. Ugh.
The next day I was going to my room when I heard sobs coming from Thalia's room. Everyone else was at breakfast so I pressed my ear against the door.
She was talking to someone.
"Milady, I can't. I'm sorry. I've loved being your lieutenant but I can't anymore. He's too much like him. I-"
Another voice spoke. Her voice was cold but warm, like that's how her voice always was. "I understand Thalia. But you do know that if you leave you can't come back. My Hunters will despise you."
"It's not like they liked me anyway. Here. Take this. I won't need it anymore."
There was a pause. Then- "Be good, my sister. I'll remember you always."
I heard her heading towards the door and hid. Thalia came out, her eyes slightly red. She was no longer wearing her circlet and she had that silver aura gone. She walked out the common room door. I peeked in her room. The other girl was gone, too.
