Chapter 133

Nyx was truly angry. She had only come back to retrieve a bracelet she had forgotten, bent instead, the found Sextation plucking his own scales.

She suddenly understood why his wounds had been taking so long, to heal.

Nyx strode quickly toward Seafarion, her gaze locked onto him. She tried to understand what on earth was yong, through his mind.

Confronted by the enraged Nyx, Seafarion’s thoughts vanished. Instinctively, he tried to hide the scale behind his back, beat it did nothing to conceal what he had done–his guilty eyes darted nervously.

Nyx took several deep breaths, forcing down her anger.

Looking at Seafarion, she mellowed down. “Are you still under a lot of pressure lately? Are you feeling too andout is that why you’re doing this?”

Anxiety manifests differently in different people–some lose their appetite and struggle with sleep, while others become irritable and aggressive,

It wasn’t completely unthinkable for Seafarion, who struggled with low self–esteem, to harm himself when faced with emotional turmoil.

Nyx’s sincere concern made Seafarion feel deeply ashamed. He thought that he shouldn’t have deceived her.

“It’s not because of anxiety,” Seafarion said hoarsely. “I just wanted to keep you here a little longer. I didn’t want you to leave for Taboris so soon.”

to confess the truth.

Nyx was puzzled. “Why?”

“Because I want to go to Taboris with you, but I can’t find the time right now.”

Nyx was momentarily stunned. She never would have imagined that Seafarion would go to such extreme lengths for a reason so simple–it almost sounded absurd,

“Why didn’t you just tell me?” Nyx asked.

“Why didn’t you ask me?” Confronted with her questioning, Seafarion lowered his head deeply.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. It was unclear whether he was asking Nyx or doubting himself. “If I don’t pay a price, can I really make you stay?”
