Chapter 14: Angry and jealous protagonist?
Sitting next to Luna, Theos made himself comfortable while maintaining an elegant posture.
Observing Luna at his side, Theos began to speak in his deep, magnetic voice. "You see, I sought you out because I know that you have a unique path—the path of shadows, don't you?" Theos' words came quickly, without feeling rushed or anxious. On the contrary, he felt calm and sere, as if he was in total control of the situation.
Luna's frown deeped. With a slight nod, she confirmed Theos' words and waited for his next statemt.
Theos' gaze became icy, almost dark. "I want you to use your shadows to observe a certain area outside this mansion," he said, his voice carrying complete dominance and coldness.
"And what happs if I don't accept your request?" she asked, curious.
"You die," Theos replied without hesitation, as if it were perfectly natural. His nonchalance conveyed how little he cared about taking a human life.
Luna nodded, a flicker of fear sparking in her heart. Although she had only asked out of curiosity, Theos' direct and indiffert answer left her surprised. She understood exactly how far the man next to her was willing to go to achieve his goals.
If ev disobeying such a simple request can result in death with such indifferce, I don't want to imagine how he would react if he felt anger, Luna concluded in her mind.
Instead, Theos flashed a faint smile wh he saw that she agreed. "Very well. You may begin. The coordinates are north of the mansion, just outside, thirty paces west. There should be some movemt nearby. Don't be alarmed by what you see; just tell me," he ordered quickly, leaving no room for discussion.
The meaning was clear: Whatever you see, tell me, and th keep your mouth shut forever!
"Alright," Luna nodded again, ready to fulfill the request.
Theos raised an eyebrow in surprise and curiosity, but his mouth formed not an answer, but four simple words: "What did you see?" That was all that mattered to him.
Luna bit her lip, torn betwe speaking or remaining silt. The depths of his eyes—one as black as a black hole, the other a blood-red coldness—made her feel as if she were being absorbed by them little by little.
"I... I..."

Watching his sister and the other young man completely ignore him as they chatted, Alan felt angry—furious, ev.
Damn, how much I would like to hit that guy, he thought, but he felt helpless. It was impossible from any point of view. This young man, though a stranger, exuded the aura of a nobleman of the highest rank—a duke, or ev a prince.
But all the princes in the kingdom were well known, so he would have to be a duke, like all the young master dukes recognized worldwide. Except for one.
Remembering the last and most important duke, Alan unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Of the great Fall family... a young man whose name is not ev known, referred to as 'The Fall,' a figure whom some in the family respect more than the currt head of the family itself. As he thought about the rumors circulating about the young master, duke, and the most mysterious character in the world, Alan's head began to ache.
And maybe the duke is the one sitting next to my sister now. Watching the sce unfold, how his sister displayed so many emotions and expressions in such a short time, Alan almost jumped in anger but held himself back.
Time. Time always fixes everything, he thought, unaware of how wrong he was
