No, in fact they did not. They actually appeared to be rather anxious in their minds once I had explained to them my reasons behind what I was about to do. The thought of becoming something closer to what Armand was enchanted them, and I was not the one to put such thoughts inside their minds – it was already there even before me.

However, their loyalty, their sentiment and honesty towards Armand moved, touched me deeply. And this is why I do not regret it. I did what it would have to be done one way or the other, and I did not want those feelings to fade, to allow them to turn into hatred. I wanted to carry this burden myself, and now I do.

Sybelle was first. And no, they didn’t.
