NovelEnglishChapter 678-Dissapointing......
'She is just like the past, both those personalities can fully be extreme to the ones they deem close to themselves and that's disappointing...'
I inwardly shook my head at the weakness blooming within Carmel and Carmelia's hearts, a weakness that was born from that past incident, one that also led to my master Eleanor breaking away and the deep inner darkness Carmel holds within her heart. Until she can't get rid of it, she will never bloom fully into the beautiful moon that will hold and protect both the night and day of the Twilight Empire.
'If it was Marlene or Olivia or any of the others, they would ruthlessly have dealt with this, to question the might of the ruler isn't something any ruler can let be.'
But in this case, Carmel and Carmelia aren't doing anything, and it's actually good for me because it's one of the things that these capture target have to go with the protagonist to finally break through the layer of 'friendzone' that Carmel keeps due to her innate fear of love itself. She has both disgust and aversion to the concept of love, not believing it's true at all due to the very same incident of the past.
'Though going with plan B will be pushing things, there's the higher percentage of things not going according to plan.'

And in that case, I need to control all the variables that will be appearing, and the addition of these two dumbos will lose me a percentage of the output I wish to wield. That's the main reason I make sure that I am alone with the capture targets most of the time when I make my moves.
'Well, beggars can't be choosers, can we?'
While I silently mused, I waited for any big output from Carmel to put down those two. In fact, even the two of them know that they are crossing some lines, but once again Carmelia made a disappointing action as she turned to the two and spoke in a lightly cold tone.
"The two of you are really planning on following me through?"
The lightness made the two of their faces light up a bit, the prospects of them having a special position in Carmel's heart only making them feel a certain sense of chance for their love to bloom, which once again caused me to inwardly shake my head. This is the main reason for these dummies not to give up. When can they, when Carmel keeps giving these mixed signals unconsciously?
"The little princess is also like a sister to me. I can't let go when there's a chance to help her!"
Melvin took a quick chance to win some points, and Nex didn't leave at it as he too chimed in, nodding his head.
"Though seeing that this is your sister, Princess Carmel, I will take the three of you with me. But after that, we will have to part ways, meaning that I will have nothing more to do with you anymore."
The firmness in my voice made Carmelia's body tremble a bit, though I could see the faces of the two in the back lighting up at my end condition, more than happy to get me out of their way. Though Carmelia and I am sure Carmel didn't see it both that way as she raised her head, boring her eyes into me asked.
"You said I am family to you when we first met. Then won't family forgive each other's mistakes, accept them, and try to move on as a family?"
The extra degree of coldness showed the betrayal she was feeling inside, her words piping from the very first things I told Carmel to bridge the gap that held between us. I smiled at her words, my eyes still staying on hers as I went to take a sip of the tea, its sweetness and the perfect mix of milk filling my mouth as I gulped it down. Placing the cup back on the table, I smiled at Carmelia as I spoke.
"You are still family to me, Carmel, an amazing senior too. And while what you accused me of did hurt my heart, I was willing to look past it all and be close again. But you just in front of me failed me again..."

Carmelia didn't need to finish her question as I looked at the two sitting beside her, their expressions turning for the worse at the intimacy of mine with Carmelia along with my words. The first to break it up is the unique-looking Nix.
"You, what gives you the right to say such a thing?! What gives you the right to be angry at such a perfect woman that exists?!"
While Nix played out the feelings to make Carmelia feel good, Melvin played another card as he spoke.
"Please don't put this on Carmel. What we did, we did. She had no part in it. She isn't responsible for anything, so if you want anyone to be angry at, shout at, or be disappointed in, take it with me."
'Smoothing play there, boss.'
For the first time, I gave the Melvin guy a thumbs up in my heart. The dude killed it with those words, even Nix played okay as I could see Carmelia biting her lips, her desire battling between either telling me off or her best friends off. It's a tough choice indeed.
'Though once again disappointing.'
