“Leaving?”
I calmly spoke to him, trying to keep my voice from shaking,
“I was just thinking of buying a villa.”
I improvised and told him,
“I am getting enough rest here, but I still need a place where I can privately rest.”
A momentary silence passed between us.
Will he believe me?
My heart was beating under the intense tension.
“A villa…”
After a while, his lips twitched and his low voice flowed.
His golden eyes staring at me were emitting a dazzling light.
“Yes, sometimes it wouldn’t hurt to spend time alone.”
I nodded reflexively.
And at some point, I realized something was wrong with him.
“What?”
He smiled slightly at me asking back with my eyes wide open.
When a smile crossed his handsome face, he was so beautiful that I became speechless, but his smile just now somehow chilled my spine.
“I won’t interrupt your hobby because it would be frustrating to remain within the temple.”
He soon parted his lips and said,
“Just be careful when you go out. I’ll add more knights besides Dwayne.”
“It’s not necessary…!”
“Your body is precious.”
He cut me off.
I don’t know what’s inside of his dark golden eyes that met mine, but the terrible yet thick sensation of that gaze made my hair stand on its end.
“I can’t allow a single scratch.”
Then I remembered the moment I was blessed by Odyssey.
Reyhas’ behavior has been different ever since.
“I didn’t think... to that extent...”
I shook my head at the end of his sentence, adding a ludicrous laughter.
It was awkward and strange to hear this man worry about my body more than I do.
“Be careful, Ariel.”
After a moment of silence, he said with a faint smile again,
“Then, take a rest. I’m going back.”
After he left, I put my hand on my chest and calmed it down for a while.
Reyhas is weird.
‘He’s definitely weird. He wasn’t that kind of character.’
Now he was a man who was very decadent and overflowing with dangerous feelings with every word he says.
Then the glistening window popped up right in front of me.
[Hesed, the God of Knowledge, speaks to Odyssey]
[Odyssey, the God of Love, complains that the validity of the blessing has already expired, and that it is not their fault]
[Monde, the God of Art, recommends collecting Reyhas aesthetically]
I was dumbfounded and breathed a deep sigh.
