Chapter 144: A Tangled Web of Lies and Affections
It wasn’t the kind of moment where he could lie, so with a soft, sheepish smile, Rocco began to answer.
"Ah, well... actually, Laxus—"
He was about to say that Laxus had confessed his feelings for him, but stopped himself with a chuckle.
Rocco had tried to say it, but stopped halfway through.
What on earth was he about to say?
The person standing right in front of him was the protagonist who was supposed to end up with Laxus someday!
If one of the protagonist confessed to the villain, even if it were a lie, Sylas, the other protagonist would surely view it badly.
While Rocco wasn’t entirely sure about Laxus’s full strategy, one thing was clear: Laxus had lied, saying he liked him, all for his own selfish desires.
That was an undeniable fact.
It was completely distasteful, and there was no way Sylas would ever grow to like Laxus after hearing that.
Of course, there were always possibilities in the flow of the story, with fate and everything, but even so, it still felt uncertain and worrying.
