Chapter 30 – Tea Ti (2)
I decided to draw a line between us so that I wouldn’t get caught up in his crazy pace any more than I needed to. Our conversation was on the verge of getting out of hand.
“That’s enough,” my tone was firm. “You don’t have to pay back for anything. If you want to try doing sothing like that, you should try it with soone else and not .”
At this, Kyle scowled intensely, “Why should I do it with soone else?”
His voice was dripping with displeasure at my suggestion, and his face contorted in disgust as if he didn’t even want to imagine himself doing so.
After all, doesn’t he also consider part of the ‘soone else’ category?
He hadn’t acted so reviled when he first suggested doing it with .
Honestly, I couldn’t figure out his criteria for who was or was not worth his concern.
“Why are you suddenly ntioning other people?” he continued, no less displeased than before. “Is there soone else you’re thinking of?”
“Yes?” I replied without thinking. My mind was still a bit preoccupied with understanding his strange behavior.
“And are you speaking from experience?”
“Yes… Wait, what?”
When I carelessly answered his unexpected question, Kyle looked incredulous.
“You an there’s soone else besides ?” his tone was full of bewildernt.
I was montarily suffocated by how dense the air seed to beco, almost as if a heavy weight had been placed on my body.
Then, Kyle’s eyes seed listless and slowly began to turn red. Before long, his irises beca completely crimson and his pupils narrowed like the dragon’s eyes—a sign that often preceded catastrophe.
“Who is it? Who did that to you? Or were you the one who did it to soone else? Who is that person?”
When I didn’t imdiately respond to his barrage of questions, I could feel a dark pressure coming from his voice despite his seemingly calm exterior.
“Tell quickly.”
I was montarily surprised by the denseness of the air surrounding , so much so that I nearly felt suffocated, but I soon returned to my senses.
“No, never,” I shook my head earnestly. “I have never done anything like that with anyone else.”
“Really?”
“Of course. There’s no reason for to lie about sothing like that.”
Kyle’s stare bored into my very core as if he were determined to make absolutely certain I had given him my real answer. I looked back at him without losing my composure.
“Then, if you understand what I’m saying,” I continued, “I hope you will realize that you can’t just casually offer to do things like lick soone’s tongue. Regardless of the circumstance, you can’t do it, so please control yourself.”
“Alright. If what you say is true, then I’ll refrain from doing so.”
Kyle bent his opinion more easily than I thought He would. His voice had also returned to normal, and I saw that his eye color was slowly fading back to their normal hue.
I’m so surprised. Why was he suddenly acting like that?
As far as I knew, Kyle Romani was normally pretty docile and tolerant to many things when his curse wasn’t actively demanding blood.
I couldn’t figure out what part of our conversation had suddenly agitated him to such a degree.
This shouldn’t be happening.
I sucked my thumb to get rid of the cause of our quarrel as soon as possible, and the buzzing sensation quickly dissipated from my tongue. Small wounds I was able to treat with just one finger.
As I did so, I could feel his gaze on once more.
He regarded with the sa peculiar expression he had every ti I dried his hair. There was nowhere for to turn to escape his gaze, so I decided to busy myself with drinking the remaining tea in my cup, but there was still so much left in the pot.
Can I finish this?
My palate scarcely registered the once pleasant taste of the tea after how much I drank of it in order to avoid eting Kyle’s eyes. It was awful.
Only
***
Three days passed in a flash.
Soon it was already the day before Kyle was scheduled to leave for his eting.
For the past few days, I had been busy spending most of my ti wandering around the mansion visiting as many of the house staff as I could. I needed to finish quietly saying my goodbyes in my heart to all the people I had co to know and the place I had grown attached to.
No one was suspicious of . They seed to think that my recent burst of activity around the mansion was my way of celebrating my freedom after having been confined to my chambers for so ti.
Well, I was also acting as I normally did, so there was nothing strange about my behavior for anyone to be suspicious of.
Out of all the people I went to visit, Sejan was the only one whom I couldn’t find. He was nowhere in the training hall, but I didn’t ask where he went.
After all, I only t him once. I’ll go back to my own world soon and we won’t see each other anymore, so I don’t have to be so attached to him.
