Chapter 689 Trust

Effie, as already standing up to leave, froze, then slowly sat back down Kai dropped his wooden mask to the floor and stared at him ide eyes Even Cassie sees he had just said already

A deathly silence settle in the rooazes

He scratched his neck, then coughed aardly and looked away

"Yeah… that's more or less all that I wanted to say…"

Of course, the decision to reveal these secrets to his friends had not been an easy one In fact, it went against everything that Sunny believed in… every instinct in his body screa a terrible mistake

But instinct was not always the best advisor Otherwise, as the point of having intelligence and the ability to think about your decisions?

The fact of the e to his relationshi+ps once because of his untrusting nature Back on the Forgotten Shore, he had kept his secrets a little bit too well, failing to understand how his deceptiveness would make others perceive him

Sure, he had a reason to behave the way he had… and yes, he had never really lied to his allies, si the information a little to keep himself safe

But the others did not know about his reasons All they kneas that their trust was never returned fully, and that he was full of secrets, discrepancies, and insidiously subtle ways to keep those secrets to himself Sunny had never explained himself… and in the absence of an explanation, thewas bound to inevitably take its place, perhaps to dire results

Who knew… if had been ht have not considered hi self Would things have ended differently, then?

Regardless, currently, Sunny knew both the Aspects… and, more importantly, the Flaws of every member of the cohort But they couldn't say the same They revealed their weaknesses to hi to reciprocate this trust

For now, everything seemed fine… but that one-sided nature of their friendshi+p was bound to fester in the future, and the srow in size, eventually destroying it

Plus… even Mordret knew his secrets It would have been silly if the Prince of Nothing did, but Effie and Kai did not Not to erous…

So, Sunny decided to take a leap of faith and put his trust in his friends It had been a long ti honest with people feel so… disgusting?

'What a loathsome sensation… curses, I'm all itchy…'

…After a full minute of stunned silence, Effie finally spoke, her voice sounding uncharacteristically tame:

"Now… hold on, wait a minute…"

She raised her ser

"Your Flae sort of already had a general idea, after spending so much time with you It is still… wait, you can't lie at all? What?"

Sunny shrugged
