章節 48: Chapter 48

“Yeah?”

Milo teared up a little, and his voice was soft, but it didn’t waver. “Let me do it.”

“But—”

“Please. Mariana was one of my mentors back when I was still trying to hone my magic skills. She had been one of the few witches who imprinted the runes onto my skin. She may no longer be that same witch who had taught me some of my skills many years ago, but the least I can do for her is to provide her with a dignified death. I owe her that much.”

Kenta was reluctant, but Milo continued to plead with him. In the end, he relented.

“Fine.”

Then he stepped back to observe. He watched as Milo activated the exorcism rune on his arm, but his mate made no other movement afterward. Once again, he was about to take over the final step when someone wrapped one arm around his waist and dragged him backward. He turned around in surprise, but he was relieved when he discovered that it was Jensen. He also noticed that Jensen was still holding tightly to the bat in his left hand.
