章節 717: Side Chapter: A Reason Infuriating

Frustratingly… strenuously… this little nightly affair persisting was getting as insipid as it was moronic. Just how long has it been now? How many tries has he fruitlessly attempted already?

Amelia had only intended to teach him a wise lesson, scare him, deter him from desiring anymore interactions with her. She had believed perhaps extorting him to petty thievery would have been a sufficient teacher to demonstrate just how grave of an omen she was in his daily life. 

Utterly foolproof, a spark of ingenuity on her part… because surely no sentient, thinking being would be so moronic as to commit a brazen offense over a meager chance to find even a semblance of common interest between each other.
