Bab 541: Fool*

Zeres waited. His gaze on her intense, and Alicia could tell that Zeres seemed to be worried about her.

She cleared her throat, regaining her composure.

"You think I like him?" she asked him instead of answering, slightly raising a brow.

Zeres sighed and leaned against the tree. "I won't blame you if you like him. After all, Kiel is a charming man despite the fact that he's a devil." He shrugged but then, he sighed again. "But… As your ancestor, I'm just worried about you."

Alicia faced him, both her brows now lifted at him, her chin was up as well.

"Err…" Zeres scratched his neck with his forefinger as his eyes wandered. "I just think you're too good for him," he explained. Alicia remained silent, slightly tilting her head, without taking her eyes off her. "And he's really too cold, Alicia. It's like it's impossible for him to fall for anyone…" he trailed off, and he looked like he regretted what he just said.
