Chapter 793 - 123 - Zeruel’s Decision (5)
Zeruel’s POV
After today’s lectures finally ended...
"Zeruel," someone called out to me, their voice gentle but clear over the low hum of students packing up. I turned my head and saw her waving with that familiar playful smile. "Do you wanna come with us? We’re planning to have a kind of girls’ party today. Of course, only if you want to." she added, her tone softening just a bit.
Honestly... I could never really figure out what went on inside Princess Titania’s head. Back in our first year at the academy, I remember thinking she was... different. Like someone wrapped in a kind of aura that warned me it was probably best not to get too close.
But right now, she felt so different from the person I’d first thought she was. And it wasn’t just me—even everyone else seemed to think so, too.
They said she had changed.
I couldn’t pinpoint exactly when that change happened... but if I had to guess, I’d say it must’ve started when Leon got together with her.
And thinking about it, it really didn’t sound that far-fetched.
Because of that, a part of me thought it wouldn’t hurt to go with her. But still... was it really okay for me to tag along?
"U-Um, is it really okay if I come with you?" I asked, my voice coming out smaller than I meant it to, my fingers fidgeting at my side.
"Of course you can," she said without missing a beat, her warm smile making it feel like sunlight on a chilly morning. "Didn’t I already tell you that?"
"Y-Yes... I guess you did..." I mumbled, cheeks warming as I glanced away.
