Chapter 546: Divine Ascension (7)
A chair floated over and landed in front of Eugene. Slowly slinking closer, Ciel swallowed a gulp and sat on the chair.
The distance between them was so close that their knees were touching. While staring into Eugene’s face, which was right in front of her nose, Ciel could feel her heart pounding loudly.
She silently clenched her sweaty hands.
It had only been a few seconds since she had just sat down, but the silence between them already felt awkward.
Ciel felt like she should say something, but right now, she couldn’t think of anything to say. It was then that Ciel’s eyes were drawn to the diagonal scar across Eugene’s right cheek.
“Th-that scar…,” Ciel suddenly began speaking.
The scar had been left during Eugene’s duel with Gavid Lindman. Even though Eugene’s limbs had been able to regenerate instantly after being torn to pieces during the duel, the scar on his cheek had yet to disappear.
Eugene didn’t care about the scar on his cheek. This was because, back when he was Hamel, his life had left him with enough scars to cover both his face and body.
In fact, Eugene was actually just the slightest bit pleased to have this scar. Scars like this would only add to his reputation as a warrior, and since his face was already almost excessively handsome, Eugene felt like the scar would set off his handsomeness quite well.
