Chapter 122
After those words, the memories ended .
A strange silence appeared between us . I watched how Louise's expression changed from astonishment to rage, sadness, and betrayal . Finally, she put on a bitter smile .
"I can't believe it…"
"Well, you saw it . The assassins were clearly aiming towards all of you . I'm sure you have your methods to confirm if they were truly sent by Alan or not . "
"… Not need, I believe you . " Louise shook her head sadly . "It's just that I never thought that cousin Alan could do something like that . To think that our family has given him our unconditional support and he repays us this way . "
" . . . What do you want to do now?" I asked .
Louise fell silent after hearing my question .
After a few seconds, she finally took a decision .
"I need to tell father . He needs to know what kind of man Alan is . "
"I'm sorry, but I think it's not a good idea . " I smiled wryly and shook my head . "How are you going to explain the assassins' deaths?"
Louise was startled . She then looked at me and let out an apologetic sigh . " . . . I forgot about that . "
Louise was a smart girl, so she instantly understood my words . If she tells her father about the assassins, then she would be forced to reveal many other things .
How the assassins died? How did she learn about their origin? Why Claire and Lena don't know anything?
Furthermore, in the current situation, we can't use the excuse that my 'master' killed the assassins . After all, the Transcendent (beyond twelfth layer) beside eldest brother did not detect a powerhouse near me . Thus, besides the possibility that my 'master' is so strong than a normal Transcendent can't detect him, the only other possibility is that, in fact, it wasn't my 'master' who killed the assassins .
Thus, even if Louise doesn't reveal that I killed the assassins, when someone asks Lena or Claire about what happened, the truth will be revealed .
Louise looked at me and grabbed my hand . "Claus, thank you for protecting us before and for showing me the truth . Don't worry, I'll not speak about it to anyone . "
My lips curved slightly up . I stared right into Louise's green eyes and chuckled . "Okay . However, I think a deserve a reward . "
"… What do you want?" Louise asked with a slight blush .
"This . " Without giving Louise time to react, I stole her lips .
Louise opened her eyes wide for an instant, but in the next second, she closed her eyes and accepted my kiss wholeheartedly .
When our lips finally separated, she looked away and blushed .
"… D-Don't get any strange idea . Just now was an exception… This will not happen again . "
I chuckled . As I thought, Louise has the potential to be a tsundere .
Hearing my laugh, Louise shot me a displeased look and walked away . I followed after her while keeping a smile .
Meanwhile, I used my consciousness to plant a small seed inside her mind .
This seed is completely harmless, and will not affect Louise in any way . However, it has a very useful function .
