Chapter 192: Long Time No See
Kaiden stopped in the center of the stone path, his gaze softening at the sight of the girl.
A faint smile curved his lips.
"Long time no see, Alice."
The twin-tailed girl audibly gasped with both delicate hands of hers shooting up to cover her mouth as if Kaiden had just confessed to a horrible crime instead of merely greeting her.
Her crimson eyes trembled harder than ever, shimmering with a mad cocktail of affection, obsession, and deranged glee. The moment hung still... until it shattered.
She took in a breath that sounded far too hungry for air.
"Big brother... called my name...!" she whispered, and then...
Her knees buckled. She clutched the pillar as if it were the only thing keeping her from fainting, her twin-tails flipping upward dramatically as her entire body twitched like she’d just received divine enlightenment. A high-pitched giggle broke from her throat, one that quickly devolved into a squealing whine as her emotions overloaded like a broken circuit board.
The Valkyries stood behind Kaiden, watching.
Luna tilted her head. "Uh..."
Aria leaned over to her, whispering. "And I thought I might be just a tiny bit unstable from time to time..."
Nyx just giggled, finding the sight adorable.
