Chapter 166: Pure perfection

Mimi sobbed again.

"The Little Rabbit told me that you came to kill me! And ever since Mimi's Master left, people keep trying to kill meee!"

"Oh, stop crying! We won't attack you unless you keep attacking us!" Ginevra barked. Much quieter, she added, "At least until I understand how the hell you are killed…"

Mimi sobbed again, then stopped—thankfully. She was disturbing enough even without crying. She disturbed Cael's thoughts very much.

He turned to Ginevra instead. The beauty he could look at with no moral doubts… 'But what if Mimi transformed into a second Ginevra? Then they could together—'

Cael squashed that intrusive thought.

"I knew the 'priest' was up to something," he said, focusing on something neutral. "I suppose he wanted at least one of us dead, but knew he wasn't strong enough to fight himself…"

Mimi pouted. "Really? But Little Rabbit was so nice to me! He and his hybrids did everything I asked of them."
