章 35: The Countdown Begins

"Why? You were.. Were you not thinking about someone when you were looking at me? Who else could it be if not a woman." 

Alric's heart skipped a beat. He was indeed looking at her to see if he felt the same thing as he had felt when he was standing with Nora.

But to his dismay he felt nothing. Not at all. She looked like the nurses in the hospital. She complained like them too. Nora never complained. 

One time she had burst on him, he had felt killing intent coming from that young girl not an aggrieved tone. She did not need a knight in shining armor.

She needed nothing. She had her plan ready. This was something new to him when he met a seventeen year old kid. Even adults never looked so sure when they were asked to deal with his brother.

"What! Are you thinking about her again and still claim that you do not have a girlfriend?" she pouted again when he rolled his eyes.
