Chapter XCVIII

Her name is Alice

Second Volume

***

(Alice's POV)

Saying that he wants to null the contract between us, I wasn't able to hold myself. I released this emotion because I know to myself how I've fallen for him. I love him with all that I have; he is the guy I want to be with forever. 

I don't want to listen to whatever he wants to tell me, and Lace has already told me. I am a vessel, yes. I know that already. My body and this soul aren't mine, but that is my only happiness. To be with him. 

"Listen, Alice! You have to null it. I don't want you to die. You can still do everything that you want after this mission. You don't need to be tied to me and die." 

I frowned in frustration. I wasn't looking at him. I don't want to see his sad expression toward me. I lowered my head, I don't know what he was thinking, but right now, this isn't going well as Sharon expected.
