Dark Palace (5)

Following the little Celestina, Rhode once again arrived in the complex corridors. He didn't even know where he was right now, and the complicated maze left him a bit dizzy. However, Celestina was apparently really familiar with this place as she effortlessly led him into the depths, tunnel after tunnel.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Looking at the little girl's back, Rhode couldn't help but ask curiously. Honestly, the first meeting between them wasn't exactly peaceful. He was almost thrown into a living hell by her. Thus, in order to seek revenge, Rhode did something literally criminal to the little one, which made her so furious that she threw him out. But now, looking at her, she didn't have that furious expression she had before. On the contrary, he felt like she seemed to have grown closer to him. What was that about? Stockholm syndrome? But he didn't lock her up and teach her a lesson, so how could something so unrealistic happen?
