Chapter 329: Face-Off (2)
The dark memories lingered, but they were overwhelmed by the sudden light... by the sudden warmth that enveloped Arren.
Slowly, he raised his head. Despite his dark vision, he seemed able to see that light that emitted from him, from someone who would always come and save him with every opportunity.
"Spade..." he weakly muttered. The past and the present were still overlapping at each other as though he were having a hallucination. This made Arren’s voice hoarser than before.
He wanted to hear his voice, he wanted to know that what he experienced in this life was real and not only an illusion created by his hopeless fantasy.
Even more so, he wanted to see him. Arren raised his hand and removed Spade’s hand from his eyes. Their eyes quickly met, and those worried eyes filled with indescribable emotions were drawn to him.
Instantly, the confusion faded, and everything became clearer to him. His lips quivered and he leaned his face into Spade’s hand, which was still caressing his cheek.
He couldn’t say anything at the moment. While he was so glad in his heart and he wasn’t confused anymore, the fear was real and he was still shaking.
It was then that a casual voice broke the moment between them, making Arren scoot closer to Spade, exhaling heavily.
"Wow..." he clapped and laughed, his eyes lingered on Arren. "His Majesty really is such an affectionate lover."
Even if there wasn’t anything wrong with what he said, it still sounded like an insult from his tone or that because it simply came from him, the biggest demon that Arren ever known.
A surge of anger rose inside him; for a moment, it even overpowered the fear that he was feeling. Arren was Spade’s inverse scale, and that was the same for him.
