Chapter 256: 250 ※ Lunch with Promises [VI]

{"I'm here,"} he comforted me, using our bond to drain my magic so I wouldn't lose control. {"Take a deep breath, Nat, it'll be okay, none of that will happen again, you are strong, you will become the strongest person in this sphere, it's your fate, it's always been."}

A chilling sensation spread in my very soul at his words, the confidence and intensity of them making me frown softly.

My fate? Is it because of the prophecy?

{"That too, it's because of our connection."}

You are the strongest, Chaos. Having you doesn't make me it.

{"We'll talk about this alone, after lunch, okay?"} I lifted my eyes, meeting his in mine. {"Only then."}

Is it about the advent of my birthday? This is why you shut down before, isn't it?

{"Later."}
