Chapter 228: No One Touches My Wife
"What do we do now?" Cassandra asked as they arrived near the Luthaire House gate.
They noticed a group of armored people stationed at the gate, checking the already small line of passing people. They obviously weren’t the gate guards. They had a distinct sigil - a sword embedded into a black heart on their robes and armor.
They were from the Viremont House.
So it was really her, Cassandra thought while waiting for Lumin’s opinion.
"Laddy Cassie," Lumin called out in a hushed voice.
"Hm?" Cassandra stared at him.
"I... have an idea," Lumin whispered in a slightly awkward tone. "But I wonder whether you will agree."
"...Let’s hear it out first." Cassandra narrowed her eyes, studying Lumin.
"Alright, it’s like this..." Lumin started explaining his plan and possible scenarios, and how to handle them.
The more Cassandra listened to Lumin, the more complicated her expression became. She didn’t know what to think of it. The plan, the situation, and the roles they would have to play.
"...You want us to become a couple?" She managed to squeeze out the words.
Although the plan was logical and would likely succeed, she still found it somehow embarrassing and inappropriate.
