Chapter 83 - Handling Affairs (2/2)

”I am interested in someone very similar to you...” Rieza spoke softly.

”No.”

”Wait you haven't listened to the whole thing! Your brother, Jazukal is so nice! He just like you... but kind!” Rieza laughed while blushing.

”Repeat what you just said.” Simon spoke as he started to stare at Rieza intensely.

”Oh yeah... your brother, Jazukal, was found like yesterday and brought here. I thought you of all people would know.”

”He is dead.”

”Oh, I am pretty sure I was flirting with a very handsome young devil an hour ago in alchemy class, I do not make things up.”

”Nice try. I will see you tomorrow for our next study session when you have recovered from your mental injury.” Simon chuckled as he disregarded Rieza's claim.

”Sim! I am not a liar. Come and see for yourself-”

”That is exactly what I am doing. If this turns out to be fake, an imposter will leave headless.”

Simon knew very well that his twin brother is dead. For him to hear of such an event happening, he could only describe this as a joke. He felt like some deity was scoffing at him while offering him false hope only to stab him through the heart with the recoil of betrayal.
