I was aware that even after this morning, I would still be thinking about what Claudius said that evening.I hear Xander saying as he crosses his arms and leans his back against the door, "It seems that you are pretty bothered." He is looking at me with a narrowed gaze, and I realized that I could not deny that my eyes were puffy.I blinked but never imagined that he would appear in front of me right away. My face is already starting to heat up as I can already smell his seductive perfume and breath."So, have you talked to him?" he asked, still managing to stroke and caress my cheeks as he had in the past.I only nodded after realizing what he meant when he used the word "him." He let me go right away after I heard him sigh at that point. He releases the grip he has on my cheeks.As he did that, I knew I would experience some shivers because the warmth he had been sending my way through our touches instantly vanished, invading the area he touched

I sigh. I anticipated his visit and his question because I can only observe the moon's position from a far distance. Even though I tried to grasp the window glass in my room with my hand, I was aware that I couldn't.I scan the room, and when I notice that he is looking at me, I narrow my eyes."It's because that's what you said, Auster," I catch him grinning, but it's a little different this time as if the smile never made it to his ears. When that happens, I can't help but squint my eyes, but they also expand when he says something.“You're aware of Zeiron, right?”"Yes, Xander and I ran into him at that auction night. Why?" He merely sighed and didn't even answer my query before finally narrowing his eyes and gazing at me.Before I could even think of what to say, “I already had a gut feeling that Zeiron might have lost because of what I had heard earlier about Celius visiting his office earlier and reporting about the nearby e

As soon as he started telling me about the Rominus family, I knew I would ask him this question. I didn't anticipate his opening his eyes when he heard the name, though.“…” Still, he didn't answer my question, and when I tried to speak again, I heard him sigh. At that moment, I knew I had to close my eyes.“She works as a housekeeper at your home. She used to be your nanny; I'm not sure what happened to her, but I was aware that she gave you her last breath to save.” My mouth opened, but even though my eyes were wide open, I was unable to speak.When that occurred, I realized I had no choice but to sigh and close my eyes for a while to know that precise memory would be in the past when he said another word.“You don't want to hear that it appears she protected you from Ylemer and the others before they consumed you.”"What is it that I don't want to know?"I catch him sighing before he eventually s

When Claudius said those words, I never imagined that he would immediately snap his fingers, and when I blink, I was already in this familiar-looking home where everything was floating.I'm aware that I surprised you, but I promise that this will surprise you even more. He said those words, and I immediately understood what he meant.As soon as I opened the door to the room where he had already led me, I heard someone screaming, and I had no idea it was Zeiron."Did you see?" Claudius promptly shut the door after uttering those comments. I was aware right away that he would eventually permit me to see Zeiron, but I was never even shown a picture of him.I shook my head, "No, I haven't seen him yet, but I knew that he had already been in such pain, Claudius, even though I had seen his shadow in total mayhem. Can you provide him with a solution?” I knew as soon as I asked him those questions—after all, he had already brought me here—that h

We rushed to Claudius' side as soon as he said those words and noticed nothing. It is enclosed in a box, and a metal heart is pounding through it.Only his eyes widened when Claudius attempted to use his magic to open it.When the place started to alarm before he realized what it was, we were already surrounded by these creatures. They are all dressed in black and white.That's when I realized they were already the underdogs and servants of the temple.They attacked us right away after that happened. Claudius and Zeiron served as my defense, but as I was about to touch the box after taking a closer look at it, I heard a voice.I was about to touch it when I heard a familiar voice.“You shouldn't touch that, Solstice,” Lily said."Why Lily?"“It's hazardous. Your corruption will come from the greed of it.”"So why is it that way?""That is the alchemist's heart, and only you are capable of d
