When They Beg, I Rise!

Alaric couldn't help but think that way. After all, the entire Langston family relied on Asher. When Asher spoke, no one dared to disobey. And that included Lemira. He remembered how Lemira was terrified of Asher and would never go against his wishes. Lucian was so frustrated he felt a stomach ache coming on, "What am I supposed to say to you? Acting like this, you're only pushing Lemmy further away!"

Lemira wasn't just throwing a tantrum right now!

"But what can I do? We haven't found a decent gunner yet, and without her, we're definitely going to lose tomorrow's game!"

Alaric didn't want to lose the game! Only now did he realize that he truly might have lost Lemira.

"You can't just force her! Is a game more important than your sister? By doing this, you're only going to lose her. Think about it."

Alaric finally lowered his head, somewhat reluctantly, "Can't Lemira just understand me this once? She knows how important this game is to me, yet she keeps using it to threaten me."

"Losing the game doesn't matter, but if you let Asher pressure her, you'll lose her for good. Is the game more important than your sister?"

Lucian closed his eyes, not wanting to say more. Every conversation with Alaric lately seemed to frustrate him. He now understood how Lemira felt.
