"Do not make the same mistake I made."
Lavinia spoke as her cold, emotionless eyes looked right into Kael's. Kael stared right back at her, his emotions were currently a mess, so he could no longer hold himself back like he had planned to.
"…Why?"
He questioned after a minute-long silence.
Lavinia tilted her head and Kael asked properly,
"Do you know why… that man did what he did…?"
"…"
Lavinia turned silent.
"He had been keeping up the act for decades. He fooled everyone, even the most intelligent minds I know.
Why would he ruin all that in an instant?
Why did he… target you?"
"…"
Again, Lavinia stayed silent as she stared at Kael.
Lavinia was no ordinary girl. Ever since she was born, she was different from the people around her.
She was a true genius.
She was loved by Magic Beasts. Most Beasts, even the ones who usually preferred to be by themselves, showed some sort of affection to her.
