บท 56: Chapter 56: Fear

After Aron had finished speaking to Anastasia, he returned to his seat and was about to resume reading his book when Anastasia hesitated to leave. "Something you wish to say to me?" Aron sighed and asked Anastasia who wore a look of worry on her face as if internally debating something.

"Tonight... there's been an assassination set on you." Anastasia took a deep breath and somewhat recomposed herself before revealing to Aron. After doing so, she wanted to turn and leave but Aron spoke. "Stop."

As he said those words, Anastasia wore a regretful look as if wishing she hadn't said anything at all. After all, if he died, she'd no longer be bound to obey him. "Who ordered this assassination?" Aron asked bluntly while wearing a calm expression. Neither his gaze nor his voice carried any hostility, making him sound quite pleasing to hear in fact.
