Chapter 19 - Trust Issues

LUNA ASTERBELLE'S POV

The atmosphere suddenly changed right after I uttered my query. It doesn't seem to me like Eman has any plans to tell me about it, so I attempted to change the subject. "How did you end up here? Why would you bother saving someone as dangerous as me, knowing that a day would surely come sooner or later wherein I'd be the reason for this world's destruction?" I asked.

Eman moved away, then stood up while holding both of my arms to assist me in rising as well.

"The appropriate time will come for me to explain everything that I know. I'll always be here to keep you safe from harm, so don't worry." Eman brushed off the strands of my hair that blocked my eyes. "Whether it's a fact that you'd bring misfortune to this world, I don't give a f*ck. You're still the same woman that I adore. You're you, Luna."

An instant heat flared up on my cheeks, which caused me to blush... Or so I thought.

"L-Luna!" He yelled out my name even though he was already standing in front of me.
