Chapter 275 (1): Eight Legs Walk into the Alley, Ten Come Out
“Master, Veronica, I’m back.”
Wayne went up to them while scratching his smooth skull bashfully, as if he had just completed their mission. Since he didn’t have a face right now, the attempt at playing cute failed. The terrifying-looking skull did not look punchable like his face usually did.
Veronica blinked and stared at the Death Knight. “Bas—”
“Oh, this is Twilight Despair. That guy was the Goddess of Darkness’s messenger. I killed him.”
“You killed him?”
“That was a goddess’s messenger...”
Silvia and Veronica both voiced their worry. They disapproved of his reckless behavior and believed that he should have gone for a peaceful conversation. Killing the messenger was no different from pushing himself into a corner.
“I know you’re not hurt, but he had intended to kill you. You’re the most important people in my life. I will not allow anyone to hurt you, not even a god!” Wayne declared with light blazing in his eye sockets.
As he spoke, he dismissed the Death Knight’s armor and nodded at Julia. Have those keeping watch outside retreat. It was getting late. They should go home and rest so that they could continue to work themselves to death for him tomorrow.
Wayne’s moving speech made Veronica’s heart flutter. She put aside her complicated feelings and wanted nothing but to hold her fiancé, listening to him explain everything. She would even accept lies. Just give her an excuse that made sense.
The tsundere was always late to act because she thought too much, and when she was going to hug Wayne, he was already in Silvia’s arms.
