" why are you doing this ? "
hues lifted at the question , from the book that was held delicately in her hands to the servant who stood before her. there was a pause as she thought about the question , lowering the book so that it rested on her lap. she had expected this to come up sooner or later , after all , a servant would be curious as to why their master was participating in a bloody war. but now that it was asked , she was drawing a blank.
that is until mismatched hues found their way to a photograph , placed on the coffee table against the wall. of two young children , stained by dirt && grass but smiling without a care in the world. she could almost hear the cheerful laughter.
her answer was clear as day. “ so that someone else doesn’t have to. ”
