Chapter 383 - Victor I (1/2)

After that surprising confession, somebody knocked Chauncey Long out. Setsura saw him approach, but she did not say a word. The person who knocked Chauncey out was none other than Oslo. ”Even if he didn't tell me, I wanted to go back for a while now.”

”Are you sure? Don't you still have things left to investigate here?”

”Indeed, I do. But..” Setsura recalled what Chauncey said. ”I want to see with my own eyes.”

She wants to see it if Victor is loyal to Touma. Would that man honestly do anything for the sake of his clan?

Meanwhile back in the Meiji Era

A certain man with bright brown colored hair placed some coins on the shopkeeper's hands as he stepped out of the store. Victor's gaze fell on the grey skies and sighed. The only people in the streets are the ones who wear that persons emblem.

'You're never able to say whether or not you want something.

Yet you always complain about it when it's over,

That's the truth.

As a kid, he could not allow himself to be selfish. He had to stick to the rules and regulations. Ever since he was born into this world, people told him that. His brother had said to him that if anything were to happen to him, he would be in charge of his family. At a young age, Victor could not comprehend the meaning of those words.

Even now, he kept those words in mind, even if it was difficult for him to understand. As he grew older, he still couldn't understand those words. That was until he got to know more about her. The more he learned about her, the more time he spent with her, Victor realized how fond of her he became as time went by.

The more he realized it, the more he ended up drawing himself away from her. He cannot get any closer to this girl. He cannot get too close because if he does, then he would paint her destiny black.

He will stain and soil her purity. For the longest time, even when they met again, that is something he kept to himself. He ensured that there was that wall between them.
