Capítulo 55: Not eating you up

''So that you don't feel homesick.''

''What?" Esme asked confusingly. 

''Didn't you ask why I brought your Aunt here?" Aleister raised an eyebrow and as she nodded, he also gave her a small nod, ''That's what I am saying. I brought her here so that you don't feel homesick. We can go together to meet her whenever you want.''

''But why would you go with me? I can go alone...'' Esme paused, feeling something amiss with his words. Why did he sound like she would be staying in the Castle forever? ''Once I find my brother, I will be leaving. We will go back to Seran and live like we used to.''

Aleister glanced at her quietly as he leaned back on the headrest of the bed. One of his legs remained on the bed with his hand on his knee as his eyes looked at her with an unfathomable expression. 

Esme blinked, ''What's wrong?" 

He shook his head quietly.
