“I’m not mistaken that you simply’ve develop into an actual human.”

He didn’t reply.

When Zagnac didn’t reply, Lane furrowed her eyebrows as anger flashed on her face for the primary time. It was so weird that it couldn’t be in comparison with him.

As she stared at him with wide-open eyes, veins started to pop up on Lane’s brow. She then grabbed his hand, which was holding her neck, and started to interrupt the fingers one after the other.

“Have you ever forgotten your identification, Zagnac?”

“Don’t thoughts my enterprise. Cease caring.”

“In fact, when you’re being proper, I cannot care as a result of I’ve no care to present to one thing such as you. I’m too busy having fun with myself.”

With a crunching sound, his thumb bent sufficient to the touch the again of his hand. Feeling ache simply by taking a look at it, Azela opened her mouth broad and closed her eyes tightly. Nevertheless, neither Zagnac nor Lane moved.

The sound of the bones breaking continued. Ultimately, all of his fingers had been folded in a weird approach, after which Zagnac’s hand, which was holding Lane’s neck, fell down helplessly.

“Za, Zagnac…”

Azela hurriedly took out the handkerchief from her pocket and wrapped it round his hand in case anybody noticed it. Fortuitously, nobody appeared to have seen this scene.

Nonetheless, the warfare of nerves didn’t finish there.

Lane lifted her hand, this time, gripping her fingers tightly round his neck. Seeing that, Azela’s complexion turned white. It didn’t matter if it was a struggle between devils, however now this was a road, and he was Duke Ferial. Nobody may maintain the Duke’s neck carelessly.

‘Ought to I reduce off that hand?’

As Azela grasped the deal with of the sword hanging from her waist, she was troubled as as to whether she ought to reduce Lane’s hand. No, she was anxious about getting reduce if she reduce her fingers.

The second she was about to drag out the sword from her waist, Lane spoke first to her.

“Don’t pull it out.”

“….!”

“Who do you suppose made that sword? The dwarf who was my contractor. Martial arts is a technique to acknowledge opponents. If it had been me, I wouldn’t pull out that sword… pulling out that sword will damage you.”

Lane checked out her with a sort smile.

Her phrases had been implausible, however Azela’s instincts clamored to observe them. As she contemplated whether or not to observe her instincts or her head, Zagnac raised his hand, which was completely superb, and gestured to Azela to attend and converse.

“Lane is true. It’s alright. You don’t have to attract your sword.”

Azela lastly let go of her sword’s deal with.

As a substitute, she raised her fingers and squeezed Lane’s wrists, who was clutching Zagnac. In fact, it wouldn’t be the slightest menace.

“There are lots of eyes round, so let go.”

“…If I don’t let go, his eyes say that he’ll kill me.”

“I heard that if I reduce off your head, you’ll perish.”

Lane opened her eyes broad when she heard Azela’s phrases and turned her consideration again to Zagnac.

“Did you even say that? If you wish to perish, it’s best to have instructed me. I’d have achieved that.”

“…Please shut that mouth.”

“Then, you need to know one thing as nicely?”

She then gazed at Azela together with her hardened eyes.

“If Zagnac doesn’t eat your soul, he’ll finally perish as a punishment for violating the sacred contract.”

“…What?”

Azela requested in a trembling voice. Her heartbeat resonated loudly in her ears. Seeing that Azela’s fingers trembled as she held Lane’s whereas Lane let go of Zagnac’s neck roughly.

“Appears such as you didn’t know this.”

Her thoughts went white instantly. Why had she by no means thought concerning the contract? She simply thought he would eat her soul when the time got here.

Azela turned her stiff head to have a look at Zagnac once more.

“…Is that true?”

The hand that was smoothing his neck stopped abruptly.

Zagnac, who turned his head in direction of her to make excuses, stated nothing and pressed his lips collectively. He was about to open his mouth to say one thing, although Azela seemed like she was about to cry.

“Sure, that’s true.”

As a substitute, it was Lane who answered.

The following second, he lowered his head and clenched his enamel. With unrelenting stress, he squeezed each of Lane’s cheeks tightly as his palms lined her lips, making her unable to say something extra.

“Hold talking careless issues with that mouth, and I’ll rip it like this.”

“….”

Lane, unable to say something as a result of her lips had been blocked by his palm in a humorous pose, solely stared at him with a fierce gaze. It was as if she was saying, “I wasn’t mendacity.’ Azela may guess from Zagnac’s perspective that what she stated was true.

Azela, too stunned, couldn’t say something correctly and she or he solely licked her lips.

“…Why didn’t you inform me?”

The road grew to become quiet. No, possibly the noise of the road didn’t attain Azela’s ears since she was taking a look at Zagnac. Nonetheless, he was out of her imaginative and prescient.

“Since you didn’t ask.”

His reply was concise.

Azela set free amusing at that straightforward reply. ‘Since you didn’t ask.’ His reply was simply that one sentence. Zagnac let go of Lane’s face that he was holding with a clean expression and turned in direction of her.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t imply to say something.”

“….”

“Since you didn’t ask, I didn’t have an opportunity to speak and discovering out about this stuff wouldn’t make you’re feeling any higher.”

I solely need to see you in a superb temper, as a result of I do know you’ll make that face once I say this.

As Zagnac swallowed these phrases, he checked out Azela, who was bewildered. Lane rubbed her tingling cheeks and checked out him and Azela with disapproving glances. Then, she raised her finger and pointed at them.

“Zagnac, eat.”

“Lane, I instructed you to close up.”

“Contractor, you may be.”

At her merciless phrases, Azela lifted her head to her clean expression. Going through the clean face, Lane spoke strongly as if attempting to persuade her.

“When your soul is absolutely ripe, if he doesn’t eat it, Zagnac will slowly perish.”

“….”

“Solely if you eat and be eaten will it finish easily for either side.”

* * *

The carriage again to the mansion was quiet as neither Zagnac nor Azela spoke. After throwing the bomb assertion, Lane turned to Azela and left with solely the phrases, ‘I consider you’ll do nicely by yourself.’

Like a satan who got here to say it.

“Zagnac.”

Azela obtained off the carriage and referred to as out his identify with braveness. Regardless of the gap, he will need to have heard sufficient although he by no means seemed again. Maybe afraid of what she would say, he walked rapidly along with his lengthy legs and entered the mansion.

“…Did you two struggle?”

Baharf requested after seeing Zagnac getting into the mansion first.

Was this referred to as a struggle…?

“No. It’s superb.”

Azela shook her head and smiled as she entered the mansion. Even at dinner, Zagnac didn’t present himself. She knew that she was avoiding her.

Because the environment between them was threatening, the servants of the mansion couldn’t conceal their stunned expressions.

‘It’s not an issue that may be prevented by avoiding it.’
