Bab 138: Championship Tournament Announcement: Choosing Events

"I need to know what's going on, Adrian. This whole situation with Eluna and the rumors... It doesn't add up. And your behavior... It's like you were someone else back there."

Adrian took a deep breath, considering his words carefully. He couldn't reveal the truth about the Dream Stalker, not yet. "Aria, I can't explain everything right now. But I promise you, I'm not what they were saying. I'm dealing with something... complicated."

"Complicated, huh..." Aria muttered as if thinking about something. "Then... Are you giving the egg to be related to that?"

"Ha, I really can't hide anything from you..." Adrian smiled wryly.

"But you are hiding everything now," Aria commented.

"..." Adrian didn't say anything in response.
