Chapter 158: They Both Can't Be Lying

Driving back to Darius' castle has never been more cold.

I had assumed he was somewhat okay with me after...the speech and all.

But, he didn't even ride in the same car as me.

Rather he took the one behind me.

I lean against the windshield, staring out at the trees as they pass us by.

What is going to happen between us moving forward?

***

We make it to the castle, and this time, it felt once again like an eternity, as I found myself counting the seconds till I see him again.

Why is it that time moves so fast when they don't want it to, and vice versa?

I wait at the threshold for his jeep to park, once it does, I wait expectedly for him.

I watch him barely make it out of the car, had it not been for Kysilius, who is holding him in place.

This poison, has really made a mockery of the unstoppable monster that is supposed to be Darius Crystalsteel.

I...I don't like it one bit.
