Edward's pale blue eyes swept the area before he asked, "I'm guessing Evelyn is still inside?"
"She is…" Damien replied, his brows drawing together with worry for her. He let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through his light blond hair. "I swear, that couple is going to be the death of me. They'll have my hair falling out at this rate!"
A small smile tugged at Edward's lips as he pictured Damien bald for a moment. But then a low groan sounded behind them, and he snapped his head towards the greyish figure lying on the ground behind Damien. At first, he wondered if the man was suffering from some sort of disease, but when the figure lifted his bloodied face, Edward's eyes widened like saucers.
"I-is that….Prince Valen?"
Damien turned to see Valen shifting weakly despite the beating he had given him, and scoffed, "He's no prince, alright. Just a persistent little cockroach who refuses to die no matter how many times I try to squish him."
