บท 446: Eager Kiana

'It seems like Kiana is growing power hungry.' Lucius thought. 'The motivation behind it seems quite benevolent as it stems from a desire to protect me, but underneath it is also the sense of helplessness that she does not wish to experience once more. Most likely brought on by her experience in her earlier years.'

"… What do you think, Asher?" Kiana asked tentatively. She sat down on the chair opposite of him and squeezed her hands tightly. "I know that materials must be hard to obtain, either expensive or time consuming to get and I wish I would get it myself but there are matters in which I am required in the household. Although, you must have also promised the same to other people and they take precedence to mine."

"You're rambling, Kiana." Lucius pointed out calmly.

"R-right. Sorry. I'm just a little frazzled with how everything went." Kiana waved a hand.
