"How could that be!?" Grace spoke uncharacteristically loudly, yet still held her ground. "You can contact at any ti! I will always be on the other end to answer! That is the least I can do after you saved… my life…" She sniffled a little as her ears drooped.
She recalled the terrible condition he was in after pushing her out of the way of that large truck. The mory made her feel terrible.
*Pat, Pat.*
Grace: "???"
Cassius's pats ca down softer and more caring as his already kind smile beca even kinder. "Adorable you are; a burden you are not," he said in a voice mimicking a certain green-colored wizened master. "Silly you are being; Not silly you should be."
Grace's beautiful face cracked into a wide smile, then outright laughter as she found what he said to be both sweet and unbelievably funny given the serious atmosphere. "...Hah… Yo-You… I-I think I might really like you…! I might like you a lot, a lot!"
Under the peal of uncontrollable laughter and the vexed ramblings of the won still watching him, Cassius was unable to catch what exactly she said.
"I think I might really fight you?" he parroted as best he could. "Is that what you said? But why would you want to fight …? Maybe it's because of the sword?"
Flustered, Grace nervously waved her hands in front of his face. "N-No, that isn't what I said…! J-Just forget all about it! All about it!" Her skin turned as red as a beet as she clasped his mouth with her hands, utterly unaware of their seemingly intimate skin contact.
However, even if Grace herself hadn't realized what she was doing, the owner of a pair of unusually swirling black eyes discreetly honed in on the hand movents of the ek brown-haired girl.
Bella's grip on the staircase tightened considerably, nearly shattering it, while her blackened eyes beca even darker. Unknown thoughts bounced around inside her head as she put an index finger to her chin.
Unbeknownst to all the die-hard fans gathered around Bella, an evilness tugged at her lips, briefly morphing her face into sothing overflowing with long-since concealed obsession and possession.
'...I had assud the seal placed on his body to degrade his appearance and decrease his ability to lose weight would have lasted until adulthood, but… it seems that is no longer the case… The seal is weakening, which likely ans that he will soon regain the unearthly charm that he had as an infant…'
Bella's eyes swirled dangerously as a black miasma seeped out of her seemingly benign visage. She secretly grated her teeth in anger, her frustration and killing intent growing the more Cassius interacted with Grace.
'It's bad enough that the seal I asked my father to place on him is beginning to break, but to also have all these f*ing bitches tainting his presence with their cow tits…!! Damn it!!! My Cassius, near those bitches!! I won't allow it!!!'
Bella had ticulously planned everything out from the very beginning, even going so far as to conceal her true age and secretly repeat grades. She ensured that not even won with the lowest standards would fall in love with her man. And just as she had followed him to this bookstore and pulled so strings to get a job here, all in hopes of prematurely finalizing their soon-to-be marriage, Cassius's seal had to go and start cracking!
'Daddy had promised that my Cass's seal would last until he turns 18, but it seems that was all a big fat lie!! Goshdammit!!!'
Bella wanted to race over to the botherso bitches—especially the cutesy brown-haired one—and slaughter them all. But she knew very well that, even if she used her family's power to cover up the legal consequences, her husband would begin to see her as so sort of monster. She wasn't a monster! She just loved him so, so, so much!!
Bella had been stalkin— protecting her husband since he was in diapers, making extra sure that no whores could slip through the net and see the true him. Yet, during the few weeks that she had important business to attend to and couldn't actively stal— protect him, he had sohow beco closely acquainted with a damn vixen!
'How could this have happened!? When!? I don't understand why!! After all that I have done to ensure that he becos mine through marriage and our family's blood ritual, sothing like this occurs re months before he turns 18!?'
Since the very first mont Bella caught sight of baby Cassius when she was but five years old—during a eting his real father held with hers—she imdiately knew that there would be no one else in the world for her. His looks, even as a baby in diapers, were at the level of the gods. Just a flutter of one of his baby eyelashes was capable of inciting mass indoctrination.
It was also because of his appearance that everyone else Bella t in the world looked exactly the sa to her—bland and plain.
The only one for her had always been Cassius, so she pleaded with her father to do away with his appearance, potential power, and anything else that could make him seem appealing. And after the mysterious Adam Steele suddenly disappeared one night, she was finally able to get her wish with the help of her father.
Then ca all the many years of planning, which should have led to a happily ever after—
'Yet, what is all this shit!?' Bella's expression beca explosively livid as she watched so dumb bitch fawning all over her Cassius. 'I want to kill her…! He's mine, he's mine! I want to kill her! I want to kill her! HE'S MINE!!!'
She was nearly on the verge of losing it!
Her dangerously sharp fangs glead under the bookstore's romantic glow. Yet, before she exploded before the watchful eyes of so many people, she took a deep breath and cald her twitching face.
