บท 88: The present King

But his identity as Adrian Reis was complicating things. A good thing that Esme was reunited with her brother but was it a good thing for him? 

Aleister felt a headache as he looked at them.

''How did you survive?" He asked, not quite convinced by Adrian's lack of explanation. 

Adrian looked at the man, the gentleness in his eyes shifted slightly, ''What has it got to do with you?" 

''You are my brother-in-law. Who would it concern if not me?'' Aleister pulled Esme away from him gently before bringing her to his side and she restrained herself from gaping at how effortlessly he claimed Adrian as his brother-in-law, ''How about we go another way? Tell me, what made you come here?''

This man was getting on his nerves. And Adrian was irked but it was true that his intentions would be doubted until he answered their questions.
