章節 52: Chapter 52

"Xue, there's something I need to ask." Cecil spoke as she approached Xue.

Xue glanced away from Hana, regarding Cecil with a indifferent stare.

"What?"

"Why did you lose control earlier?" Cecil questioned, hiding one of her hand behind her back, fidgeting.

She knew this question wouldn't make Xue happy. Nevertheless, she needed to know the reason, so she could prevent the next fainting spell of Hana, despite knowing it probably wouldn't work.

...but she still wanted to try.

She wasn't sure if she could sit through the experience of watching Hana and Xue drift apart, especially seeing it first-hand.

True to Cecil's thoughts, Xue appeared uncomfortable at her sudden question, his stare becoming rather chilly.

"Hana fainted because of what I did, isn't it?" Xue confirmed. "You knew all along, what would happen if I lost control and killed in front of her."

"...yes," Cecil nodded. "If possible, I want to prevent this from happening again."
