Bab 508: Death never made him feel anything, but this sadness was satisfactory

Once Aries finished helping bathe Abel, they headed to the emperor's chambers just right next to the bathing room. Abel remained silent all throughout because he was tired and a bit upset after that short discussion with her. Yet, he still dragged her onto the bed and confined her in his arms. 

Aries laid on her side while Abel was lying on his tummy with his arm locked around her waist. The side of his head was resting motionless on the pillow, facing her direction, eyes shut.

She wanted to ask him a few questions, knowing he would answer even if he was deep asleep. But she already told herself multiple times to stop asking questions unless she wanted her brain to overheat.

'Since when… did you know?' she wondered.
