章節 65: Zeke's Second Predicament

Clement snorted. "What do you take me for? A tyrant? I'm just trying to protect someone I see as a naive little brother from the clutches of a sheep in demon's clothing." 

Zeke froze. He had expected Clement to deny it, but she didn't. Wait. "Demon? Are you sure you don't need a mirror--"

"So, we have our deal." Clement raised her teacup. 

"Deal." Zeke hurriedly mimicked her.

He raised his jade eyes and watched the woman across from him.

Being rivals against each other has been a tradition from one generation to another.
