Bab 778: Aureus' Nest

"Why didn't you tell me before, at least when we after you saved me and you true form was in front of me?" she asked. 

"It was all so sudden and I didn't know what to do. I didn't wish to deceive you but things happened this way and I had to leave for Agartha even before I could get a chance to explain the truth."

"As much I am upset that I was not aware of my own pet, I am thankful you have saved me that night, so I won't hold it against you."

He felt relived to hear it. "Thank you so much."

"Shall we leave now?" she asked, silently giving him a permission to carry her. Not like he was entirely stranger to her as she had been with him when he was her pet. 

Aureus nodded and cast a warning glance around, signaling to those nearby that they should mind their own business. Everyone shivered under their lord's cold glare and quickly resumed their tasks or hurried away.
