Chapter 335: Interlude - Encounter (1)
Three days had passed since Deimos died, and the Golden Knights had been driven off. Kwon Oh-Jin’s group remained in Deimos’s castle.
Song Ha-Eun and Isabella came out of the battle mostly unscathed, but Kwon Oh-Jin was still suffering from the aftereffects of Vega’s blessing. Baek Mu-Kang also hadn’t fully recovered from his crushed arm.
Kwon Oh-Jin opened his eyes to the stream of light coming through the window. “Mmm.”
Though the underground city had no real sunrise, Astral Relics installed in the ceiling emitted light at a set time and made it feel like morning.
Just then, a sweet voice brushed against his ears. “Oh my, you’re awake, Mr. Oh-Jin?”
He turned his head and saw Isabella lying beside him, resting her head on his arm with a gentle smile.
For a moment, he was breathless from her beauty. Her platinum hair glistened like melted gold. Her skin, pale as snow, and her plump red lips caught his eyes. The soft sensation on his arm and her breath against his ear made him swallow unconsciously.
“Why are you here...?”
“Shh, you might wake up unnie.”
Unnie?
“Hmm, Oh-Jin”
Turning the other way, he saw Song Ha-Eun fast asleep with her head resting on his opposite arm.
