‘I think he said a long time ago that he was going to crush my hand…….’

Even then, it wasn’t empty words.

Aria stood blankly, feeling the power of Valentine once again. He could even break the wrist of a young man of a similar size with just a slight grip. It was like a hawk snatching a prey.

‘My hand must have felt so soft to him that it could be crushed with just a little bit of force.’

She decided to reevaluate Lloyd’s patience in childhood. She wondered how unbearable it must have been when he touched her.

She would have been hurt if he had given a little bit of force.

“Don’t worry. The bones will attach quickly.”

Then Gabriel, who was holding his broken wrist, said to Aria. As if to reassure her.

Aria felt sorry for him, as she hadn’t even thought about him, let alone worry.

‘Well, why does he have to say something that could lead to misunderstanding that it is a secret between the two of us…….’

She would normally take care of the wounds, but now she only thought that he could take care of it on his own.

For a moment, there was silence for a long time to the point where she could hear ringing in her ears.

Lloyd’s eyes deepened and darkened, and it was pinned to Gabriel’s neck. He seemed to be contemplating about breaking that, instead of the wrist. He felt a blatant urge for a brief moment, suppressed it, looked at Aria’s face and held onto the string of reason.

“Come.”

Lloyd said to Aria, who was pulled away by Gabriel’s random pull. Without hesitation, she walked right next to him.

At the same time, a stillness like midnight came to the eyes that had been lit up with flashes.

– A secret between the two of you?

Lloyd asked telepathically. Aria answered straight away like a sword.

– Absolutely not.

No, that’s actually right, though. She didn’t want to receive any strange misunderstandings.

‘But if I tell Lloyd the truth, Gabriel will notice right away.’

Looking at Gabriel earlier, she thought he was an idiot. He wasn’t an idiot. He’s just a far more upright person than everyone else, who doesn’t know that the world is twisted.

‘And there are times when he makes judgments clouded only by Veronica.’

So if Aria divulged the truth about the necklace, he would have noticed. Then, the disappointed Gabriel might go to Veronica and tell her about the necklace.

If she keeps the trust from this side, only then will Gabriel keep his promise.

She quickly clarified the message before Gabriel made another strange noise.

– There are people that the knight loves as much as his life, but he is doing this because he is afraid of any harm to that person. The secret is directly related to that person’s honor.

“Haa…….”

When she told the truth, he sighed. Why…… Does he not believe it?

– I’m serious.

Aria looked straight at Lloyd with transparent and clear eyes that didn’t show a single lie. With just her gaze, the young man’s momentum softened a little.
