Capítulo 172: To Feel Alive Again [R18]

Tillian opened the door and took a few careful steps inside. Aideen was standing right in front of the wide bathtub, hot water dripping off her naked body. Her usually vibrant eyes were now empty and dull, her gaze fixed somewhere before her, aimless and distant. 

"I brought the towels you forgot..." the duke stood before his wife and added, "Why didn't you ask Bella or Safie to help you? Now––"

He quickly bit his tongue before finishing that sentence. It was too cruel to remind her that she could no longer use her powers to see, but it was even worse to assume she was helpless, especially since she could take care of herself even without being able to see. Just like she used to do before she awakened her mana. 

As the princess ignored his insensitive words, Tillian decided to move on as well. 

"Here... Let me help you dry your skin."

Aideen did not reply this time either.
