Kapitel 44: Chapter 44: Oracle and Sacrifice(10)

+++

The Nova's household,

"Lady Jessica, you've returned." Claude was smiling brightly at the balcony seeing Jessica walking toward him from the other side wearing the dancer's clothes with luxurious red silk like her eyes and pieces of jewelry all over her body.

She was glittering in his eyes, Jessica walked closer and closer to him with something in her hand from the travel to the northern empire days ago.

There was also something in Claude's hand as he faked his smile at Jessica.

"What's wrong?" Claude asked when Jessica frowned looking at him.

"The marquess will be threatening me with your life." she said in hesitation.

"I know." that answer surprised her for a little bit as to how calm Claude was. He was her weakness.

"You have to leave, I'll find a place for you--" without finishing her sentence, she was calm the whole time until blood was in her sight again.
