บท 505: End of Goten Whiteskins! (Part I)

The next day.

Zed couldn't make more excuses to delay leaving the house and meeting Felicity, Jessica, and others.

"Go and have some personal time!"

Agatha pushed him away when he thought of calling Felicity again to skip the promised meeting.

Zed bitterly nodded before stepping in front of the cradle. He kissed Hope goodbye, and the latter excitedly waved at him.

Zed smiled.

He could feel the unconditional love she has for him. Something that remained unchanged, no matter if he was Kiba or Zed.

She would always know who he was, regardless of what outer shell he wears...

"I will return soon," Zed assured her.

...

An hour later.

The cafeteria, Royal Heart Academy.

Zed sat across Felicity, joined by Jessica and Loren.

"You are always absent," Felicity said, bored. "Are you tired of studying?"

"Well, a bit," Zed nodded. "But mainly I'm busy."
