Kapitel 84: The Spoiled Brat

Marcel noticed the way the environment changed as soon as those words left his mouth. She stiffened and there was a brief look of panic in her eyes making her look like a scared animal in the lion's den.

Marcel felt a guilty pang hit him in the chest, they had been having a good time until he ruined it. But then, it was the truth, no matter what happens tonight, he would hand her over to the Red Giant tomorrow. 

But no matter how right Marcel thought he was, none of that could erase her haunted look from his mind, it stirred up his protective instincts. 

He had to leave here before he does something stupid.

"Let's go in, you've spent enough time here already," He told her, reaching for her arm to drag her inside knowing that she would resist him.

"I don't want to," Arianna refused him as he predicted, nudging out of his grip when he tried to touch her.

"Don't tempt me!" He warned her, a low growl in his throat.
