~54~ Confession and Confusion

"Elyx?"

Victoria unconsciously blurted out from her lips that Xyle was looking seriously for a moment now

"That's the name I was looking for in your lips, Victoria"

'Huh? What is Xyle's problem for the night? He looks sad however he's forcing himself to smile?'

Victoria was confused as to why Xyle was acting that way - however, that didn't make the situation they were in awkward - it only made Victoria genuinely smile at him while heaving a sigh. She only cared about him as her first friend because he was there when she needed to save Ger - who was now called Ashiel. He's also there to serve as evidence of her father's questioning. That's why she's only caring for him as her friend. However, Xyle didn't look it that way - all he knew was Victoria was already feeling something from him. 

Yet, his feelings as of the moment when he tried to caress Victoria's cold cheeks as well as seeing her smile from it only made his heart pound louder than before
