"S-Sir," Chastity weakly whispers as she sits on her bed, her face buried into her knees. He had carried her to her quarters, also sitting at the edge of her bed. He could hear her sobbing, Zeldris only wants to hold her but she won't allow him. After all, she wasn't only crying about the incident that could have taken place with Estarossa.
She's crying because of his lies.
He took a deep breath, his half lidded eyes were frozen on her.
"I shouldn't have left you alone with him."
"It's my fault..." Chastity lifts her head up, scooting next to him. "You've warned me about him and I—I didn't listen." Chastity's visibly shaking, he could sense the fear radiating off of her. They both know that she had the power to kill him but she just couldn't. After all that training, why didn't she just simply maneuver away from Estarossa?
In a quick motion Zeldris wrapped his arms around Chastity, nuzzling his face into her hair. "Don't say that, it's not true," he could tell how tense she was at his touch. Stiff, it was as her skin was frozen.
She's not comfortable.
"Everytime you touch me..... I can't help but think about Gelda... you loved her too, didn't you?"
"No," he hugged her a little tighter, creating a more intimate hug. "She was nothing more than a mere distraction. After you disappeared I found her," he pauses, trying to think of how he wanted to word the rest of his saying.
"She reminded me of you, but every single second I spent with her I thought of you. Gelda meant nothing to me."
"As soon as my father gave me the location of your whereabouts I got there as soon as I could. I regret everything," he whispers emotionally, "I regret serving my father, I regret not knowing that you were sealed away. I'm so sorry."
"D-don't apologize...... h-he manipulated you. H-he manipulated us. I just wish you would've told m-me the truth. No more secrets Zel. Please tell me everything," she began to feel a bit guilty. Everything he had done had been for her and she was sort of seeing that.
"I'm going to tell you everything, I know that my brother started getting in your head." Zeldris freezes as Chastity tries to rub off Estarossa's semi-dried blood from Zeldris's face.
"He told me you were using me for my power—"
"I wasn't," he cuts her off once again, "it's true, my power skyrockets when we're in good terms. It's a soul tie, we're connected Chas."
