章節 702: Chapter 241 - The attendnant named Aku (part 9)

Aku felt a chill run down his spine – he could not really explain it himself but the prospect of the dark-haired girl seeing his messed up face terrified him to no end.

In his imagination, he could already see Miriette's face twisting with horror and disgust as the girl would look away immediately regretting asking him to show her his face.

"I refuse."

Aku said in an ice-cold voice before he even realized it himself.

"...wha...?! Then... Doesn't that mean that you are my Zoemi and you don't want to get me involved in something you discovered?!"

Miriette's eyes widened and she took a deep breath before declaring, trying to close the distance created by Aku between them.

"No, I want to hide my face from you because half of it was melted off to bare bones and I don't like to show it around."

The masked boy shook his head decisively while doing his best to hold the pushy girl back without hurting her.

"That's a lie!"
