"What?" Azel asked, feigning surprise, his eyes widening before he chuckled. "Don't worry, Milady, I won't tell him you were reading them in the middle of the night."
"No, that's not what I meant!" Adelia protested. "It's just... I'm sure my Father thinks books like these are immoral!"
'I do too, which is why I was trying to return it!' she thought.
It was unfortunate that he had caught her, and now he seemed intent on trying to do something that he didn't know could lead to her demise.
Why did her luck have to be so bad? She had just happened to stumble upon the book!
Despite how she felt, Adelia couldn't help but feel a bit relieved; at least he had revealed his intentions. Otherwise, the events of tomorrow could have been disastrous.
"Hmm…" Azel mused. "So your father does mind, then"
Adelia nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
