“That day won’t ever come… Regardless, what are you doing here? I’m surprised Uncle and Aunty even allowed you to leave the house at this hour.”
“…Well, I told them that you’d be leaving tomorrow, and that I wanted to see you off so that I could have peace of mind once you were gone. In the end, they allowed me to stay the night with you. Naturally, Brother was hesitant, but he was unable to talk my parents out of it. Speaking of my parents, they like you a lot, you know? As for Ian… He doesn’t really hate you, but it can’t be helped that he’s only ever caught you in bad situations!”
“Honestly, your brother is only doing what’s right. If things go according to plan, then neither my family nor I will ever dare to bully you in the future. With that said… I’m sure he’s literally vomiting blood in rage for coming over to meet me,” replied Zivon.
Relieved that he wasn’t mad at Ian, Xavia then said, “…Well, your family members are the ones who treated me badly, not you… You really shouldn’t have to bear responsibility for their misdeeds. I’m already happy enough that you’re even willing to stay at the palace. Anyway, they don’t need to speak and act on my behalf since I’ll be furious with you when I need to be!”
Zivon, for one, didn’t need to be reminded of how prickly this woman could get when she was angered. Following a sigh, he simply replied, “I’m well aware… Don’t worry, you’re the only person in the world who I won’t dare to mess with…”
Smiling in response, Xavia kissed him on the cheek… and this immediately caused Zivon to stare at her like a hungry wolf. It took him a while, but he eventually asked, “…You said you were coming back with me tonight, correct?”
Nodding in response, Xavia replied, “I’m just going to help you pack up, so don’t overthink things.”
