章 18: 018 A touch Of Love
By the time my anger had faded, his face was ruined. I sat up from on top of him. Doing this has caused some damage to me. Did I feel sympathy for the devil?
I bit my lip, holding back the tears that threatened to fall. My fists were coated in his blood. I knew well he could have killed me a long time ago, but he didn't.
My thoughts were confused, all over the place did I love or hate him? my head scrambled everywhere. I held my now pounding head frowning.
"My lovely wife...so perfect." Achlys started to murmur sitting up, putting his palm to my cheek.
He continued to speak. "for each punch you landed on me, I fell more and more in love with you. My perfect saint."
No more than one tear slipped at his words, which he quickly wiped away with his thumb. And then a kiss. It was soft, passionate, possessive, and filled with emotion.
I had returned it slowly, more tears falling with the kiss. It wasn't forced and filled with lust, but love.
"My Arya.." He murmured in between the kiss, his hands getting entangled in my hair, drawing me closer, deeper.
"My Achlys" I had murmured back grinning. I then realized I am no saint. I'm a sinner. I will sin again and again and again if it was for the devil himself.

"Ah, your holiness... I'm glad to be working with you again." Kluger smiled bowing in my presence.
"Likewise, Sir Kluger." I returned the smile. "have you found any leads in the investigation?" he asks sipping the hot tea. "Ah, yes I feel like I am onto something.. Like I felt the same aura from the alley before. I just can't stick a pin to it."
It wasn't necessarily a lie. He nodded in response inspecting me. I kept a calm facade. "I heard you had been gone for a couple of days claiming you were sick... Are you all right"
I smiled. "yes, I just was exhausted from working. I need a couple of days to rest" Not necessarily a lie either.
"It's good to hear that you're all right.."
"..."
"..."
There was an awkward silence before he started the conversation again. "some say that the culprit may be the Grand duke... They are quite suspicious of him."
I flinched. Hopefully, it was not obvious. "Is that so? that is quite absurd... but I suppose we could ask him a few questions," I replied coolly.
"...Yes, I suppose so. I will contact him." He set down the cup of tea.
"Ah!, I will. Since it will be looked over as important if it is from the temple." I intervened trying not to sound persistent.
"All right, that makes sense. Then.. until next time, Your holiness he bowed before leaving. I wiped the smile off my face, letting out a breath of air.
with that, I got a quill pen, invisible ink, along with paper, starting to write. It was quick and onto the point. "They're onto you. Be smart."
Over that, I had written a proper letter in normal ink. "Grand Duke, I apologize for the sudden request. Sir Effyis and I need to ask you questions about the investigation of corpses with missing hearts. Please make this request into consideration.
St. Arya Trugerine.
I then sealed it giving it to a maid. Kluger was suspicious of me. IT is not surprising though. He is an observant scholar. I folded my hands under my chin letting out a breath of air. A grin settled on my face in delight.
