Chapter 80
Lying down in her bed, Michelle closed her eyes as she reflected on everything that had happened since she woke up. If she understood correctly, Alexander had discovered the size and location of her birthmark and had made her uncomfortable so that she would ask the Archduke to check the back of her head, where the birthmark was. But she couldn’t comprehend how he had found out. When he had restrained her, he went straight for the back of her head, which meant he had known where it was from the very beginning.
"What are you thinking about, Michelle?" Cold Flame’s voice broke her out of her thoughts. "Is there something more you find suspicious?" he asked with a tilt of his head.
Michelle kept her eyes closed as she sighed. "Alexander Terce is suspicious. That’s the least I can say."
"Why?" Cold Flame was confused. "Because he let you notice that he had discovered your birthmark?" he asked.
"No..." Michelle shook her head. But she didn’t feel like explaining to Cold Flame, so she just returned to her lazy resting.
Knowing what his contracted master was like, Cold Flame knew Michelle wouldn’t tell him anything more, so he connected to her memories and went through the most recent ones to find out what she was thinking. Then, he also understood why Alexander could be considered suspicious.
"What are your plans now?" Cold Flame asked after a while of silence.
But Michelle just shrugged. At the moment, she had no plans. Well... She had a few plans, but first, she wanted to wait for the Archduke to return and explain to her what was going on. Only then would she proceed. The plans weren’t anything really important, so they could wait for a while.
Already used to Michelle’s laziness, Cold Flame curled up next to her on the pillow and joined her in lazing around until the Archduke returned, without even getting out of bed to eat all day, since, as a cultivator and quite a strong beast, the two didn’t need to eat as much as others.
