Chapter 1814: Confession

"...Sunless. Is that even your real name?"

Sunny blinked a couple of times.

'Why is she…'

But then, it made sense. 

He knew that his feelings for Nephis were real, and him being the Lord of Shadows did not change them. But, for her… she must have been questioning everything she knew about him. Every word he had uttered was under suspicion of being a lie, and every action he had taken was under suspicion of being premeditated and purposeful. 

That was because, while Master Sunless was merely a person, the Lord of Shadows was something else. 

He was one of the players in the grand game between the powers of this world. 

Sunny lingered for a moment, then offered her a fragile smile. 

"Sure. That is my real name. Well, actually, although it is my real name, most people call me Sunny. So… I was going to suggest that you call me that too, soon… today."

He faltered, then sighed.
