But it’s good, right?” He asked back, “Then it means that he’s starting to believe in me, I guess...” Albafica gave out a small scoff as a response, the saint bit down his lower lip in a visible apprehension, it made Minos confused, “What’s wrong?”The pretty man let out a breath, before then answered him carefully, “Minos, the Golds do not trust you.”“Ow... alright,” the Griffon faintly nodded, already could anticipate where this going, “Is it all the Golds or is it just your General?”“Most probably all of them,” he answered, suddenly looked a bit guilty.“Okay,” he shrugged, “Then I don’t know what I should say to that statement, Alba. Not that I care anyway about what your friends, especially Sisyphus, think, as long as you and your Goddess trust us.”“Minos.....”“What do you want me to do about it then?” He asked, “Forgive me for saying this, but your General is quite a troublesome man, you know it yourself don’t you? I honestly ran out of idea to convince him, because we told him nothing but the truth and only the truth. If he still doesn’t trust us then what do you think I should do? I....” And then he stopped because Albafica was looking and smiling at him with such a gentle feature, a kind of façade that could melt even those of the coldest ice on earth.“I know, Minos,” the Greek spoke out wisely and sympathetically, “I would not blame you ever. I believe you. I know you already tried your best and I thank you.” He reached out and held Minos hand, squeezing it hard in order to show his complete trust, “And I know you’re here for me, and for only that, I really don’t know how I should thank you for that.”Minos nodded, sensing how the half part of his anxiety already flew away only with those kind words, as only Albafica could have that so much effect on him, “But surely, Alba. I told you I care for you. Isn’t that a normal thing to do to someone you love? Helping him when he’s in trouble?”“Yes love. And that is why I love you.”“And I love you too.”“But Minos....” Albafica spoke out and his smile vanished.“Yes?”He let out a breath first, realizing that this was difficult, and asked away, this time in a very, very careful manner, “Forgive me for asking this, Minos my love, but in the process of assembling this truce, do you trust your friends? Rhadamantys and Aaicos, do you really, really trust them?”He answered him without any pause, “I do. Why should I not?”Albafica smiled, comprehending quickly that he had touched a rather sensitive nerve in his lover’s mind, and gave out a reply quickly, “Yes of course, since they have agreed to commit themselves to all of these with you. But, it’s just....” And then he stopped, couldn’t even think of what should be the best way to say it, but Minos already understood every bit of what he intended say.“You are afraid they would betray us, is that what you’re trying to ask, Alba?” He asked, keeping himself calm, “You think they’re a bunch of deceivers, is that it?”The blue haired countered swiftly, “If I am afraid then I am afraid, it doesn’t mean that I am accusing you people of anything.....”“Thinking it, is just the same with saying it, my love, you only just don’t do it out loud....”“Minos, I am not even thinking it....”“Then what do you call this?” The Griffon couldn’t hold it not to smirk, “Why do you even asked? Is it because you’re afraid I am a liar too? That I lied about this truce and will kill you all in the end?”
