“Are you done crying?”
“Yes….”
She was crying and ran out of breath, but that was it. She couldn’t cry anymore.
When she wiped off her eyes with the back of her hand, he held her hand and prevented her from doing so.
She couldn’t believe he touched her so casually like that.
As soon as she thought they were completely open to each other, she heard a small laugh next to her.
He had a faint smile on his face, whether he was unaware of the situation or was not entirely in his right mind.
“Why are you laughing happily like that?”
When she asked with a glance, the man smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.
“You’re angry at me now. I guess you’re getting more comfortable with me now.”
“… Weren’t we close with each other?”
She was a little taken aback by his words and answered with that.
She thought they were in a state where they had gotten more than just comfortable with each other.
Even though his face was close enough to reach her, no one was taking the initiative to withdraw.
They were holding hands and their shoulders were brushing against each other.
“Right.”
The man nodded in affirmation.
Seeing that, Hazel felt relieved on her own and heaved a sigh of relief.
Though, she felt guilty to be sorry for him.
The man added that he was okay because he chose her on his own accord, but he was sure that he would have made a different choice if she had not entered the library and he wouldn’t have seen her as well.
She just realized why the Emperor summoned her here. In a word, I was the bait to catch him. In short, she was bait to catch him.
She wondered why he locked up the man in this room.
“The sun is rising.”
His murmur made her jump up from her position quickly.
When she looked at the window, the sun was really rising. As the world started to brighten slightly, they thought about the same thing simultaneously.
It was time to bid farewell to each other.
Leaving behind the feeling of disappointment, they made a brief eye contact. In the end, Helen was the one who got up first.
