A few minutes before Teresa had shown her true self, Reaper and Xiao were locked in a conversation.
'What do you plan to do when she attacks?' Reaper asked, to which Xiao shrugged.
'Won't you protect me?' he asked back in a relaxed tone.
'So you only remember your position now?' Reaper asked, making Xiao confused as his eyes narrowed.
'What does that mean?' Xiao questioned.
'I have been watching you these past times, and I know about what you have gone through,' Reaper replied, making Xiao silent. He silently urged Reaper to continue.
'Why did you make plans to deal with some prince?' Reaper asked, becoming silent. It took a moment before Xiao replied.
'Well, I just didn't want to deal with all the hassle...'
Xiao's reply wasn't as powerful as he expected it to be, nor was it as convicted as he thought it would be, with the control that All-Fate and All-Destiny had lost, the one controlling the mind of Xiao weakened.
