Chapter 170
***
Sez knocked again when there was no response.
‘Is he not there? Maybe he went away for a while like before?’
Just as she was about to knock once more, the door opened abruptly.
“Belkiel…”
Belkiel’s expression hardened slightly as soon as he faced Sez.
“Please, just spare me a little time.”
Sez implored with a pale complexion.
“Please.”
“...”
“Just a moment… okay?”
‘…This girl, why? Again?’
In all honesty, Belkiel didn’t want to engage in conversation with her. In particular, he hated facing her alone.
Yet he stepped aside from the door silently. Perhaps he’d been moved by Sez’s desperate expression, or Rayton’s words that’d been weighing on his mind since yesterday.
“Thank you…”
‘I’m lucky he didn’t send me away.’
Sez entered the narrow room with relief. Belkiel, now seated on a chair, directed a look at her as she stood there hesitantly.
“Talk quickly and leave.”
