บท 357: Drag Cedric

The awkwardness that Cain felt as he stared at Cedric was uncanny. He knew he screwed up by letting Kimmy tail him all the way to the Forbidden Wing, but what else was he supposed to do? He couldn't just let her bang on the door thinking that he was cheating on her. No, he really couldn't let that happen.

"Where have you been?" Kimmy cheerfully asked her cousin. "To think that you're back and you haven't even told me?"

"I've been here or there. In a few places at once," Cedric cryptically asked. "Some private business that needed to be done, is all."

"I see," Kimmy nodded. "Are you sure about that? We're family here, right?"

Cain didn't know what to do as he watched the two have a cheerful, if not a one-sided conversation with his fiancee trying her best to wring out information from the man. All the while, Cedric was adept at making sure that he wouldn't give off enough information for Kimmy to piece together the real reason for their visit.
