Chapter 182: ARIA
"Lift the curse, I don’t want him to die," Aria sobbed. She sat on the floor, her whole body was shaking, while the sorcerer stared at her with compassion, as if he was not the person that had caused this.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen to him," he said. He wiped away her tears and caressed her cheeks gently. His bright green eyes stared at Aria with so much interest. She had a strong will that he admired and more importantly, she had a strong constitution.
"B- but a child died..." Aria was afraid, she couldn’t think straight. "Heavens! What have I done...? What if he dies?" The thought of losing Cane scared her out of her wits.
The sorcerer looked so genuine when he calmed her down, he rubbed her back and put his arm around her shoulder, as he wiped her tears.
Aria had never been so scared like this before. She was not really fond of children, but it didn’t mean she would be fine to be the reason for the death of one. Moreover, Cane’s life was hanging by a thread right now.
"Sst... everything will be alright..." The sorcerer whispered to her and kissed her cheek.
Aria was still drowning in her guilty conscience and didn’t realize what he was doing, as it felt so comforting to have someone calm her down gently like this.
"You don’t need to be worried about it..." The sorcerer ran his thumb up and down, caressing her neck as he kissed her ear. He nibbled on her earlobe lightly, which made Aria flinch and get a little bit of her sense back to realize what he was doing.
Confused, Aria turned her head, but the sorcerer kissed her instead, right on the lips. His lips were so cold, but they were so soft, as he coaxed her to open her mouth with his tongue.
