Like a fairy tale - True Love - chapter 3/3
Part 3: True Love
Chapter 3: Red as blood / Rouge comme le sang
When Damian had arrived in his father’s life, he had been full of pride and of the absolute certitude he would be offered his rightful place soon. Why would he not? It was just a matter of proving his worth - there was no doubt he was worthy. Wasn’t he of his blood? Wasn’t he the best fighter of the league, except for his mother and grand-father? Well, and maybe a few others. But still, way above anyone else his age.
The realization that what Damian had been taught to be valor differed from his father definition of the term had hurt hard. However, Grayson’s and Todd’s advices had not seemed difficult to follow and, after all, Damian was perfect. Of course he would manage to adapt, even if it meant following a set of stupid rules.
Now, however…
“I’m telling you I’m fine”, Grayson was arguing.

“You are not patrolling as long as your shoulder isn’t healed.”
“It is!”
“Alfred?”
“I’m afraid you might benefit from a few more days of rest, Master Richard.”
