"I'm back."
Elise returned to the inn, which had become another temporary lodging.
She looked slightly fatigued.
"What have you been up to? You look tired."
"Nothing special."
"..."
"...I took care of those scum who were planning to experiment on young believers."
Though Elise habitually tried to hide her actions, Karamiâs smile made her confess. She couldnât guess what sort of retaliation might follow if she pretended otherwise.
An involuntary stroll in the nude was not an experience she was willing to repeat.
"Experimenting on children, of all things. There truly are no limits to depravity in this world," Karami said, feigning innocence.
Eliseâs eyes narrowed.
"Whatâs with the bad acting?"
"What do you mean?"
"Youâre the one who told me."@@novelbin@@
"I did? When?"
His brazen response left her dumbfounded.
"You came all the way to the confessional and spilled your guts to me, only to act like it wasnât you?"
