章 862: Chapter 696: The Moment of Lanci and Talia's Heartbeat

The two left Platinum Sen Palace as Time neared noon.

"Could you let go of my hand for a moment?"

Talia felt the temperature in Floral City Pariel was a bit hot.

It might still be the aftermath of the summer noon, or maybe it was because she had been walking for a while, or possibly because she was too close to Lanci.

Lanci, who had just regained his composure, hesitated slightly.

Then, a smile spread across his face.

"What's wrong? We've hardly walked for a minute, haven't we?"

Lanci said with a hint of pity in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Talia to admit defeat just after the morning had passed.

"No, it's not that. It's just getting hotter, and I want to take off my gloves."

Talia's sense of defiance suddenly kicked in,

"Or is it that you're afraid to hold hands with me directly?"

She asked with a touch of slyness in her gaze.

Talia knew Lanci disliked touching others.
