Dominique was wandering around different towns, a little lost. He had brought One around with him all over the Awerk continent, looking at different sceneries and places, but for some reason, he felt a little listless as of late.
It was a strange feeling.
He'd never felt like this before.
Not even when…
Dominique crushed the thought before it finished forming.
One, on the other hand, felt nothing like that as she clung onto his neck, looking around.
Despite himself, a small feeling of affection had bloomed in him for One. A tiny, smidgen of affection.
Maybe because she looked like a mix of both his Boss and Elysia, whom he was reluctantly coming to accept.
Yet, there was a feeling like he was adrift out at sea, as if he had lost motivation in life.
The strong admiration and worship he had for boss was still there, but it was slightly muted, as if he had lost something.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, and it was making him slightly murderous.
At this moment, there was a bit of a commotion, and he turned his eyes leisurely towards that direction. Things that didn't interest him before seemed to hold even less interest to him now, but there were also things he did that seemed a little out of character to him.
He was changing a little… but he didn't know why.
It was disconcerting, but at the same time, he really couldn't bring himself to care about it. He was becoming increasingly apathetic again, the longer he was away from his Boss.
But… he had to give Boss and Elysia some space for their relationship to grow, right?
He didn't want to be that person who caused Boss to miss out on his happiness like that.
Dominique acted with the Boss' wellbeing in mind, despite the apparently negative toll it was taking on him.
Even having One with him couldn't really help it.
It was almost as if he was returning to the days of his childhood and adolescence, where he couldn't feel anything but malicious joy at the thought of harming someone else to appease the blood that was running through his veins.
But the more time he spent with Boss, the more he knew that there was more to life than just fighting and violence.
He didn't want to live his entire life as a slave of his instincts either.
Just like the rest of the Spectres in their sect, who were striving to walk out of the shadow of their instincts.
The best thing was that Boss had helped them a lot. Just by showing them that he didn't hate them all, nor did he discriminate against them, went a long way.
Even more when he had taken action to change their situation by making a deal with that annoying prince now emperor.
There were a bunch of people surrounding a brown-haired, blue-eyed man threateningly, looking like they were going to beat on him.
Dominique turned his eyes away, losing interest quickly.
However, at this point of time, One suddenly spoke up with a curious tone. \"Dominique, that man feels similar to Alec.\"
Suddenly, Dominique's interest was piqued again, and he turned his attention back to the man, who was surrounded by a bunch of lowly thugs.
The thugs all made various threatening stances, as if they were trying to intimidate him into coming with them. However much they presented themselves with good clothes and nice appearances, their body language spoke otherwise.
The man in question had a look of 'hidden concern' on his face. It was a mask. That much, Dominique could tell. There was no trace of panic or worry in his eyes, nor did he show any signs of concern at all.
His eyes did not fluctuate, nor did they dilate or widen. Instead, they were steady and calm, not matching the look on his face.
The thugs looked smug, and they obviously didn't catch on at all.
Dominique snorted.
He looked closer at the man's features, and he was indeed reminded strongly of Boss. He had the same crystalline blue eyes that reflected in the sunlight, and his soft, brown hair had the same texture as Boss' hair for all that the colour was different.
He was either in his late teens or early twenties. Dominique couldn't tell.
His features indeed looked around fifty percent like Boss, as if they were related by blood, or perhaps even brothers. While Boss had black hair, the brown hair was more characteristic of the Neil Clan that Boss hailed from.
Instantly, Dominique's interest grew even more, and he wanted to see what he would do to the people who were harassing him.
Differing from his expectations, however, the Neil Clan member was taken away by them instead of fighting back.
The slight smile on Dominique's face froze, but his interest was only growing, and he leisurely hid himself while he followed the from a distance.
One asked curiously, \"Are you interested?\"
Dominique's gaze didn't even move towards her. \"Hm.\"
A slow smile spread on One's face, and her eyes glittered mischievously as, if she knew something that he didn't know. But since Dominique wasn't looking at her, he wouldn't have caught that look in One's eyes at all.
She docilely lay in Dominique's arms, not making another sound.
For the first time in his life, Dominique was interested in another person other than Boss and One – but even then, it was only because the person might be related to Boss in some way.
However, Dominique didn't find anything strange with that.
He wasn't resistant to it either, because for the first time in almost a month, he didn't feel so empty inside without having anything to do.
He kept feeling that this person really looked like Boss' brother. It made him wonder just how much the Neil Clan looked alike for them to look so similar, with the difference of hair colour.
Boss had told him that the Neil Clan descendants all had brown hair and crystalline blue eyes, as he had seen previously in Tatiana, and that only Alec had been born with black hair, which had made the previous elders of the Neil Clan detest him.
At that time, Dominique had wanted to go and pick a fight with them and slaughter them at the place they stood, but Boss calmed him down when he said that most of them were already dead, or had been thrown into the clan prison.
Only then did he reluctantly put down his murderous plans.
Now, when he saw someone who looked similar to Boss besides One, he really couldn't stop himself from being curious about what was happening. He wanted to see if there were other habits they showed that were similar as well.
He followed the group, who were still keeping that Neil in the middle of them at all times, like they were scared that he would run.
Dominique only felt the barest hints of surprise that instead of some dilapidated shack in the middle of nowhere, they were instead led to what seemed like a high-class and luxurious building that was the home of some bigshot.
He raised a brow in surprise but didn't follow them in while they entered.
He could still see the masked look of worry on the Neil's face, and his eyes flashed.
However much he wanted to follow them inside right now, he was carrying One, who would stop some of the moves that he wanted to make.
Just as he was about to give it up as he wasn't going to endanger One because of mere curiosity, One spoke up like she knew what he was thinking.
\"Put me in that inn there,\" she said, pointing at a luxurious inn nearby.
Dominique paused. That looked good enough to house Boss' daughter (?) so he immediately headed there.
After all, he really was curious about that Neil.
