章 172: Chapter 172: A Streak of Light

"How did you know I'm with my brother?"

[...]

[...]

[What… do you mean?] Even through the speakers, Julius's confused tone reached Hannah's ear. His breaths, however, seemed completely normal.

"How do you know that I am currently with my brother right now?" Hannah repeated her question; her voice, slightly turning cold.

[Aren't the two of you always together? I heard Bulwark allowed your class to go outside, so I just assumed you were together.]

"..."

"..."

"...Right," Hannah then let out a small but deep sigh as she slightly nodded. She's been aloof to everyone lately due to everything that's been happening to and around her. Her father's affair, all the secrets– and now Prophet's assassination. She didn't know who to trust anymore.

But Julius has been there to comfort her; not asking anything in return. So at least this... it has to be true.
