Chapter 79 - Defense Plans

• Khalid POV
• If I hadn't lived so long, I would have let it be known how much Sophia's decision affects me, because it gives me hope... Something I can't nurture, because I see how much these three love each other and Sophia will never look at me the same way.
• It would be a betrayal for me to court her... Something that goes against everything I believe in... If Perseus and Achilles were the idiots who hurt her, then I wouldn't care, but it's just the opposite, they're willing to do anything to help her.
