Chapter 26: Emergency
After the... bizarre conversation with Rinne—which, in its own strange way, had been helpful—Hades decided to finally grab some breakfast.
At least now, he wouldn’t feel guilty every time he looked at the Saintess. Though, what she said back there was reckless.
She was a young maiden—someone who should’ve been more cautious around someone like him. Yet, she offered herself without hesitation, even though he wasn’t ready for another relationship just yet.
Haah... she’s hard to figure out.
As he turned a corner and continued walking, two familiar faces appeared from the other end of the hall.
They stopped, just like he did, when they saw him.
Hades’s eyes shifted quickly from the blond teen to the girl standing beside him.
Kayla. His ex-fiancée.
His heart grew heavy as he met those bright eyes that once brought him peace.
Back when they were together, there were countless moments when he’d just sit and look at her face, never getting tired of it.
Everything about her had felt right—like she was made for him.
