Chapter 324: It’s not fair
"Let me do this for you. This is all I can be good for when it comes to one’s usefulness, and I..." Micheal kissed the back of her palm softly. "Want to be very useful to you."
Alice was a bit taken aback. She didn’t know what to say or even how to react. He was edging himself to be a sword that kills. Well, it wasn’t like it was a big deal... Except it was a BIG deal.
Why would he want to kill on her behalf? Just what sorts of thoughts were roaming through his head? He wasn’t a killer for hire. He was an awakened tasked with saving the world by the constellations.
"So, you want to... Help me kill, just because you don’t want the stench of death to linger around me any further?" She asked and he nodded. "Why go so far, Micheal?" She asked him. "I know we’re friends but isn’t this cutting it too far?"
"No, it’s not too far. For my one and only friend, this is just right." He said. "Alice, you may not understand but this is very important to me. You..." He drew her closer in a gentle manner and smiled, his lips curling up so beautifully. "... Are the one I’ve been waiting for."
If only Alice could see his face and maybe take a look at his eyes... She might’ve understood this situation so much better.
But with his face covered, she had no idea what kind of gaze his eyes held as he said those words.
"I really don’t get you, Micheal." She said, gently pushing him away by the chest. "And I don’t get what your intentions are. I don’t know your feelings. I want to ask, but I’m scared to hear your answer." She glanced up at him. "So, I won’t ask, and I wish you never disclose your feelings to me. I believe we’ll be able to keep going if you just listen to me."
"I will, Alice. I’ll listen to you. Whatever melody plays in my heart, I will not speak of it." He said, and she sighed.
"As for killing. Let’s put that on hold. I don’t think I’ll be going around seeking any evil to cleanse for the time being." She said, looking at her hand. It still feels weird but she couldn’t quite put her fingers into it, what that weird and nagging feeling was.
"Yes," he answered. "I will wait on your call about this matter and will not act without your permission."
