Bab 709: An Offer That Always Sounds Good

Maya doesn't know what to think about Lucien.

He clearly doesn't want to hide his intentions, but still, he desires something from her, and that can only be one thing—her immortality.

She wouldn't blame him for desiring such a thing, but he simply doesn't seem like the type of person who would seek it, especially since he would be immortal while his beloved ones wouldn't be.

Maya wants to understand more about Lucien, about his goals, how his mind and heart work, but she fears that by getting closer to him and the Sins, she will become someone entirely different.

Lucien also fears that by getting closer to Maya, he will fall in love with her and any hostile action against her will become impossible.

But how will he obtain her magic core without getting closer to her? That's the kind of paradox that can drive him insane.

While Lucien and Maya gaze at each other with thoughtful expressions, Nea becomes more apprehensive.
