In the end, I never got to tell her the truth.
It wasn't like I didn't try. However, I also understood in that moment that it was best for me to keep my mouth closed.
Delilah didn't look to be in the most optimal state of mind.
This was honestly an unexpected development.
Delilah had always struck me as a strange contradiction — silly, almost childish at times, yet undeniably powerful. She would constantly complain about her duties at the Academy, whining about how exhausting they were, and more often than not, she'd change the topic to talk about chocolate and how she liked it.
She was also the type to steal a chocolate fountain and then bring it for her own events.
Every now and then, though, when the occasion called, she'd show another side of herself. A regal, commanding presence that stood above everyone else.
But this…
This was different.
