Even late at night time, Zagnac didn’t present his face as soon as. As she appeared out the open window, Azela sat down on the mattress with a sigh. Though it was midnight, she couldn’t sleep as Lane’s phrases have been taking part in in her head time and again.

“If he doesn’t eat my soul…”

Come to consider it, her life meant greater than when she was Countess Todd… due to Zagnac.

‘Because of Zagnac, my life began to have that means, and that’s why he has to take my soul.’

It was humorous.

All of the sudden, in her thoughts, the issues he had executed for her up to now got here to thoughts. As she pulled herself up and placed on her cardigan, she quickly slipped out of the bed room. The hallway, the place the lights have been off and solely candles have been lit, was silent.

‘If I die now…’

Azela lowered her head and thought as she made her solution to the bed room the place Zagnac was. She was attempting to recollect what she needed to do although there was nothing in thoughts.

Her divorce from Daniel was efficiently finalized, and her enterprise was steady. Even if her life had not been that quick, she had nothing to do. She didn’t even have somebody to go to and go away her final phrases to say goodbye.

Feeling the loneliness, Azela lowered her head and laughed. It occurred to her that her life was so futile… and it was Zagnac that gave her that means to stay such a futile life.

“…Zagnac.”

So, she couldn’t assist however love him.

As she ultimately stopped her steps in entrance of Zagnac’s bed room door and quietly referred to as his identify, she may really feel his presence by means of the closed door. It was clear that he, too, was having bother sleeping like her.

Azela fastidiously raised her hand and knocked on the closed bed room door. It was nonetheless as if he was hiding him within the air. He was desperately erasing his presence.

“It’s me.”

After she completed talking, footsteps pacing left and proper may very well be heard past the door. His steps, considering whether or not to open the door or not, didn’t cease. Nonetheless, he stopped and held his breath, most likely deciding to not open the door.

“I do know you’re not sleeping, open it.”

Regardless of her decided voice, no sound may very well be heard from past the door. He gave the impression to be insisting that he was asleep.

“ it’s not an issue you possibly can keep away from perpetually, proper?”

Afterwards, a loud sigh was heard from past the door from Zagnac, who needed to keep away from this example. When he lastly grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, he confirmed robust indicators of not desirous to face her although Azela confirmed no indicators of backing down.

“You didn’t come to me, so I got here to you.”

“….”

“I can’t undergo the window.”

She smiled bitterly.

Zagnac frowned as he stood along with his arm to stop Azela from coming into her. When she slipped her hand into his arm that was blocking her, his arm visibly twitched.

“Let’s go in and speak.”

“…I’ll sleep now.”

“It doesn’t appear to be you possibly can sleep?”

“I’m drained right this moment.”

Whilst he stated that, Zagnac didn’t shake off her hand, which was resting on his arm. ‘Let’s not speak about that,’ was proven strongly by means of his each motion and tone.

Azela slowly moved her hand, which she had positioned on his arm. She handed his arm and shoulder earlier than quietly inserting her hand on his chest. In the mean time, he didn’t utter a single factor whereas she did that.

“It’s okay, let’s go in.”

She spoke briefly and pushed him with power on the hand resting on his chest. With just a bit little bit of power, he backed as if below her spell. Azela closed the door and smiled as she entered the bed room.

She turned her shy gaze to the ground.

“I don’t assume you’ll speak about it after I ask you to.”

“….”

“However, I’ll ask.”

She nonetheless had her hand on his chest. Zagnac nonetheless hadn’t shrugged her hand.

“If I hadn’t requested, and if Lane hadn’t instructed me…”

“Huh.”

“…When have been you going to inform me?”

“….”

Zagnac gave no reply. No, he couldn’t reply.

In reality, he had fully forgotten about it. He realized that he should eat her soul. Whilst he smelled the candy scent from Azela’s brightly shining spirit, he put it off. So, in fact, he had no intention of claiming something.

…The rationale that he himself didn’t know.

“Zagnac.”

“….”

“I don’t know what state my soul is in.”

Azela quietly closed her eyes. She remembered the day and the feelings she had been by means of.

“The day isn’t as dangerous because it was once.”

“Azela.”

“I didn’t even take into consideration dying, and it’s been a very long time since I didn’t dream about Irene. Not like the times after I lived decided for revenge, there are fairly a number of days the place I smile.”

“….”

“This should be the ‘lingering attachment for all times’ you talked about. I will need to have developed a lingering attachment to life.”

When Zagnac turned his head away and pressed his lips shut collectively, Azela lifted the hand that she had positioned on his chest and touched his cheek. She then turned his head to face her.

“Maintain the contract.”

“…Would you die?”

“It’s a contract I made with willpower for Irene… Promoting my physique and soul to you was my selection, I used to be ready for this final result.”

She uttered in a agency voice for worry that if she spoke in a delicate voice, her thoughts would weaken. Sure, this was her personal selection, so he didn’t need to take care of the alternatives she made. This burden was she shared.

Azela, frowning, continued her phrases.

“It’s a pact with the satan. In case you don’t fulfill… I can’t consider that Irene’s subsequent life might be comfortable.”

“Your maid is already on observe for her subsequent life and is making ready to stay her new life. You don’t have to fret.”

“No, phrases can do something, so it’s a must to present me that our contract is working… By consuming my soul.”

“Azela.”

Azela put down the hand that had been touching his cheek and took a number of steps again.

“So?”

“….”

“Is it time to eat?”

Zagnac raised his stare upon Azela’s query. His purple eyes have been shining brightly.

The following second, he raised his hand and coated his eyes to reply her query as his lengthy fingers trembled gently. Azela let loose a trembling breath, ready for a solution to return from his purple lips.

“…Not but.”

Letting out his breath, he spat out quick phrases. There was nonetheless a delicate trembling in his fingers masking his eyes.

“Not but. It’s not time to eat you but.”

She let loose a sigh of reduction at Zagnac’s reply. On this night time, she was pondering that it didn’t matter if her soul was eaten by him and she or he died, however a part of her coronary heart didn’t appear to really feel that method. Azela quickly raised her head and checked out Zagnac with a tough face.

…Might she belief him? Might it’s that what he simply stated was a lie?

“…Actually?”

“…Sure.”

“Actually?”

“Actually.”

“Can I belief you?”

Zagnac lowered his trembling hand from masking his eyes as she requested that. Azela was mirrored within the stunning purple eyes that appeared to have contained the night time sky, like a star floating within the night time sky.

“You’ll be able to belief me.”

“There’s nothing I can do however belief you.”

“…That’s proper.”

“So, you need to not idiot me.”

Her resoluteness made him depressed. Seeing Zagnac shaking his head, Azela sighed in reduction and spoke once more.

“Promise me once more. If the time involves eat my soul.”

Be sure to eat me.

Azela couldn’t bear to talk the remainder of the phrases and bit her lips. Though she got here to say this to him, surprisingly, nothing got here out.

Nonetheless, she needed Zagnac to eat her.

As she stared at him, unable to let loose the phrases that swirled in her mouth, he slowly opened his mouth. She watched his purple lips open as she swallowed the phrases that lingered in his mouth.

“I’ll positively eat you then.”

She gazed at Zagnac, who continued what she needed to say, and nodded her head. Seeing her nonetheless shaking pupils, he warmly touched Azela’s cheek along with his massive palm and uttered.

“I promise.”

“….”

“So, don’t fear.”
