My Beautiful Monster Part 38

SUMIRE

"There is a ballroom in the manor." Lucifer said, breaking her thoughts. 

Sumire sighed deeply. She ought to have known he would say that. He really is being overprotective about her going outside. Not just going outside. Even though she has been here for at least a month now, she knew there were still many people in the manor she hadn't met yet. 

'I do understand why. I was in a terrible state when I woke up. Lucifer explained how my heart was ripped out of my chest and  how I was dead for a few minutes. I can't even imagine the pain he had to endure seeing me like that. So, I have let his overprotective behaviour be. Even though I have longed to venture outside, long to explore those places in the manor he won't let me go to. Long to stand under the moonlight-'

Lucifer kisses her eyelids softly. "But as for tonight. Why don't I take you out to town?"

Huh? Huh?
