Ch. 99 An Ambush

Aria got off the motorbike and her eyes swept inward until she passed through the gate.

"Why do I feel like there's no one inside?"

"That seems to be the case," Lyod replied as he parked his bike and walked to stand next to Aria. "I don't smell living things."

"What happened?"

Lyod turned to Aria with an unsightly expression. "Aria, don't tell me you want to check the situation inside."

"Can I?"

Lyod sighed hearing this. "I don't feel well. We'd better go back."

"But, I have to meet with Meryl. I have to confirm something."

"What do you want to confirm?"

"I… Anyway, I want to go inside."

Sometimes, Lyod wished Aria wasn't too stubborn and went along with his wishes. On the other hand, this kind of character makes Lyod even more fond of her.
