'Betray her?'
How did I even betray her?
I wanted to mouth those words, but I found myself unable to look away from those deep black eyes of hers. I could only silently purse my lips before explaining myself.
"She… has something that I need."
"I can give it to you."
"No, you can't."
"…."
Ah, her gaze feels piercing. My eye twitched and I found myself hurriedly speaking again.
"The entity within me. It's still not clear. Kiera has a certain item that can help me get rid of it."
".…Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Then you don't have to worry."
"Hm? What?"
I don't have to worry?
I was confused. How exactly did I have to not be worried? I knew that the seal the previous Cleric had placed on me was strong, but I felt it weaken the moment my progression increased once again.
It was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any second.
I had to tackle this issue now before it was too late.
"We already knew of your problem when the Cleric told us."
We? Who was we…?
