บท 97: Fey Scaffold (3)

Inside the house, Fey Scaffold fidgeted while nervously watching Elias who was sitting on the couch casually.

Without a slight care to Fey's presence, Elias made himself comfortable like it was his own house.

Very calmly, he sipped the tea on the table like there was nothing wrong. He nodded slowly, as though admiring the teamanship behind it.

"..."

A long silence remained between the two of them before Fey Scaffold finally couldn't take it anymore and opened his mouth.

"So... can you promise me you won't report me to the SSG?"

Hearing that, Elias shifted on his seat. He gently put down the tea cup on top of the table before turning his gaze to Fey.

His gaze was cold, and piercing. Fey thought as he shifted uncomfortably. But beneath all that, there was a trace of amusement.

Elias smiled, as though impressed.

"You're a committed actor. I admire that, but you can drop the act now."

"...Sorry?"
