Bab 1742: Good Reason

Sunny grinned behind the mask. 

"What can I say? I wasn't always a recluse."

She contemplated for a few moments, and eventually nodded. 

"Alright. Then, my next question. Let's presume that you are correct, and I do, indeed, harbor such an interest. But what about you? What is your reason?"

Sunny chuckled. 

"Would you believe me if I said that my reason is exactly the same as yours?"

Nephis thought for a moment, then shook her head. 

"Not really."

He tilted his head a little. 

"Well, fair enough. It's not. In truth, I don't have as great a grudge against the Sovereigns as you do. I do despise them a great deal, true, but to answer your question… I guess it has to do with what I desire."

She pierced him with a heavy gaze. 

"And what is it that you desire, Lord Shadow?"

He laughed coldly.
