The terrifying aura that Lethe emitted faded away when her mother, the Duchess, talked about her son. The two ladies, along with the duke left the room to meet with Acheron von der Acacia.
I was happy to see Lethe happy.
As the group of them went away, the two little fairy ladies started chatting out loud while I turned to Kai as well.
"Think I'll find something in that book?"
"I think you'll find something in anything related to Charlotte, including that ring." Kai pointed at my hand.
I raised my brow, amused. I didn't think he would know it belonged to her.
"I was quite obsessed with your mother, you see."
"Hey!"
"She was the one person I could never defeat."
Kai suddenly clenched his fists. This aloof person that always seemed lofty, as if a step above everyone else, looked as human as he could be right now. I once again felt that Kai was one of the few people in this world that I could openly be myself. A friend.
