Surely he still didn’t fully trust him, but nonetheless the small, sad smile he offered to the Gold saint stated that he was genuinely willing to try. Veronica nodded and whispered chokingly, “Sure I do.”“Good.” Manigoldo pressed their bodies close, “Then would you do me a favor and not being scared anymore? We can’t afford it to be afraid right now and also I think that thought is so unpleasant.”The specter chuckled and gave him a soft kiss on his lips, “Alright. I will try. I’m sorry.”Staring at him, Manigoldo seriously pondered if he should just push him down to the mattress and ravage him again just like he had done last night, but sadly there would be no time for it as they needed to leave very, very soon. He glanced at the window. The sun was just starting to rise slowly and at any time some of his Gold friends could walk pass his temple, them being early risers. If only they felt a slight tinge of Veronica’s cosmos....He stood up hastily, “Come, love, I think we really should leave right now, before anyone gets here. Could you please make yourself ready?”The Nasu nodded, “Yes certainly.”The specter did as he told and Manigoldo started to put everything he had prepared into a small leather sack. For whatever happened, he knew one thing, that there was no turn back from this unless there was a miracle coming his way. He was risking his life and his whole career as a Gold saint over this, and though it brought a certain kind of sadness in his heart to leave all these behind, he was still determined as ever.And may the God help them.
