The minutes ticked by swiftly, and before I knew it, I was nodding off during Creed's account of the Alchemist. Even though he had previously known him to be a human, that does not explain how he acquired the instantaneous knowledge of everything.
I was welcomed with "Good morning, my lady," by Claudius on one side and Creed on the other. I can tell that they are both checking me to see if I'm okay or not. Guys, could you please, I sigh.
Claudius looked at me, caressed my cheeks, and then smirked, as if to say, "Oh, nah, uh, that's not how you talk to these handsome gentlemen, Lady."
But as I was focusing on the day, I almost missed the major event that would happen months later.
“So, Milady, I suppose we ought to do more learning today than just sit around.” I understood what he was getting at when he said those words. But when Claudius said those words, all I could do was sigh.
"Would you two kindly leave this area? You two are alread
“I suppose not all schemes work out, though,” since when I told Auster about the temple, he just groaned and handed me another duty that caused my eyes to narrow.“Is that all you want me to do, arrange a tea party?” I question him, but he doesn't respond until I hear him nod because he seems to be preoccupied with his paperwork.I would almost sigh as I shake my head in his office without slamming the desk."Do you believe this is the right time for leisure in general?" I ask again, but this time he looked away from the papers and focused on me right away. He continued to stare intently till he eventually released the papers from his grasp.Then, as he leaned closer to me, he entwined them.“You think I was joking when I said those, don't you?” Although I can hear his voice is curious, I don't even shudder.I didn't even widen my eyes before I leaned in closer to him. I am aware that all he could do was s
I was aware that as soon as I said those words, I had their attention. While some of them narrowed their eyes, the others continued to laugh and fake smile.They might believe that I'm lying from start to finish and that I'm just a regular person, but I guess they were mistaken.The spell Auster cast on my body loosened and broke into bits in the air after he spoke a few words, just like Claudius and Auster did.Before that, I could see how these ravenous eyes, like those of a snake, enlarged as if they had seen something dreadful. As though they have encountered a predator that is more hazardous than a snake.As of that point, it appears that I was unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.They barely managed to voice any words as I stare at them with my eyes narrowed. Some of them shudder, some open their mouths, while still others gasp.I take another sip of tea and say, "I see that you are all shocked." The image I had on it had been to
When I heard him say those words, there was total silence all around. I licked my lower lip since I was at a loss for words. I shake my head and walk up to the window, resting against it and staring at the ground instead of responding to him.I attempted to gaze at his shadow, but it seemed to be dancing through the night, so I gave up before I even bothered to consider that it might have been merely a vision caused by my tears.I didn't even realize that Xander was in front of me when I closed my eyes; his hands were already caressing my cheeks as if he had been by my side the entire time.Even though I can picture Claudius, Creed, and Casimir's tearful faces, I know that Xander wouldn't do those things even though I can see his scared and uneasy eyes.I thought they had reached the point of being devastated, but even though Xander may be staring at me intensely, I can tell from his actions that he was in tears of want.His hands are trembling so
When I realized that he was being sincere about matters that I wouldn't have anticipated, I realized that I wouldn't be able to back out of what he had to say.I sigh as I focus my gaze on him.“I liked everything, especially the cuisine inside.”He sighed and whispered, "I see," and I could feel the warmth of his breath. Intoxicating as it is, there is also a strange feeling about him.I avert my eyes, "If you like, I can suggest a strategy to save you. Because he typically goes by being laid-back, he is not the kind of person to act with such authority now.I suppose the seriousness of the circumstance contributed to his behavior by having him take his responsibility seriously enough.I firmly retort, "I don't need someone to save me from my plans, Auster," but for a little moment, I hear nothing.When I tried to look at him, I noticed that he was about to narrow his gaze to mine. I then saw him approach me and give me a
I couldn't help but get my eyes all wide when he spoke that name. He is something I couldn't have predicted. He went to look at the corner of the ball after only announcing the name when he noticed this recognizable appearance.This individual is indeed Ravia Lafera, the rightful heir to the Lafera Duchess title. She did, however, already have eyes that were different from the blue ones I had previously seen when she opened them to look at me.They are now white as if she had never returned to life and had always been this Alchemist's puppet.After a short while, the Alchemist introduced her to me, and in the space of a single blink, I was standing in front of Ravia and her scythe. When she did, we immediately engaged in combat to the point where she was even grinning.It took me a few more seconds to eventually get away from her hold as I desperately tried to return to these rooms by running down the hallways. I simply knew that I had to make that piece
Because of this, we are unable to murder him even if we wanted to. I couldn't help but gasp and widen my eyes at Xander's revelation, "We can't kill the ones who saved us and we can't let him face us because if he did and we heard his voice, we would be corrupted to the point that we can no longer be your allies, Solstice.”After thinking I knew them for a while, I was shocked to discover that, after having been with them for several months, I still didn't know any of them.“I----”“I'm not requesting your opinion on this, Solstice. But when that moment comes, don't think twice about killing.""Xander, I will never kill those who are already a part of my life."“But we can put you and the others in danger.”“Do you believe in me? I shift the subject, and he nods while his eyes are concerned.”"So that's all that matters because I'll never allow someone to perish in front of my eyes. Neve
I found it hard to comprehend that some of them would commit such a heinous act."Well, now that you've seen it, can you believe it now?" If Xander wasn't talking next to me, I would have been about to sigh and shake my head. We had entered the temple already.We were always within the hiding place where Xander originally brought me—never from the outside.It is indeed dark when I turn around, and the only lights in there were mounted on the walls. The area resembled a cave, and Xander would use his magic to make sure we were not heard with each step we took.Because of this, it appears to be both spectacular and disheartening that the temple conducted these kinds of operations covertly.Why even bother mixing within the temple? However, even if I were to ask myself those questions, I fleetingly realized that I would never be able to deny how this temple got its start.I just realized how thoroughly perverted they are at that point whe
My skin began to tremble as we moved toward the location of the shouts, and before I realized it, both of my hands were over my lips.No way…I could tell this magnificent person's appearance at a glance. Given that these creatures had been testing on him, he is Levine Klementine and therefore cannot die. He was halted by his family's curse, but now he is being treated cruelly at this temple.To think that my feelings about this place feeling like a jail would never be too far off from Levine's mind is depressing.I was certain of that as I looked at Xander at that very moment. Already gritting his teeth, he is keeping his hands under control as he prepares to punch and save Levine.“You believe that by carrying out this action, the Alchemist will arrive sooner?”“Although he is already inside this location, the high priest is still in his presence.”“Oh, what a perilous deal he's making there.&rdq
