Chapter 656. Inquisition
"Don’t give me that; you were practically locked up and unreachable. I doubt that happened because of nothing," Louis replied.
"Well, I say it is nothing. Are we done here?" Jael asked.
"Would you try to be agreeable for once?" Louis asked.
"I don’t understand why you’re so concerned about this. It is none of your business."
"Are you kidding me? Have you looked at yourself this morning? You look like a ghost. There are bags under your eyes, which means you didn’t get enough sleep. Somehow, it looks like you lost half your original weight literally overnight. I don’t want to imagine what state Mauve is in."
"What are you trying to say?" Jael asked darkly. "What goes on between Mauve and me is none of your business. You should learn not to stick your nose in other people’s private matters."
"It might be private, but I have seen more often than not that you don’t have a working head on your shoulders, especially when it involves Mauve. You lose all cognitive abilities and logical reasoning. And I am quite worried about Mauve. You’re too myopic to see the bigger picture. You only care about your current situation."
"This conversation is over," Jael slammed his palms on the desk. "I don’t need to explain myself to you."
"No, it’s not. You owe me," Louis’s eyes blazed.
"No, I don’t. Don’t be ridiculous. You could have left me to die. You don’t get to act like you’re the ruling voice in this situation simply because you saved your Primus."
Louis laughed. "I never thought the day would come when you would throw that word in my face. You seem to hate when I call you by your title."
