Bab 75: It was fun while it lasted

"Abel!" 

Aries yelled through her gritted teeth, making Abel freeze on the spot. She balled her hand into a fist, storming in his direction while he shifted his eyes to her. As soon as she stopped several feet away from them, she darted her eyes between Abel and the woman kneeling before him to assess the situation. 

How Abel was here and this woman was something she didn't know or even wondered. But this was akin to deja vu. The only difference was that Aries wasn't the person kneeling. 

"Darling, why are you here?" he asked, putting down his sword while tilting his head to the side. 

"I... does it matter?" she inquired back instead of answering him. "What are you doing?" 

"Isn't it obvious?" he arched a brow, casting the terrified woman kneeling before him an indifferent look. "I was about to send her to the pearly gates of heaven."
