188 Fragile and Honest

"You are hurting me, Aster, I can't bear it."

Aster said nothing. This Charles in front of him was a contrast to what he was used to. He always saw Charles as this threatening existence ready to swallow him whole. Aster always felt that all he did against Charles was in vain, because this guy was obviously too powerful and ruthless.

But this Charles? He cried and trembled like a normal human. He hugged Aster without excessive force now, and he begged. He was so fragile.

And it made Aster uncomfortable.

Aster wanted to curse on him, he wanted to insult Charles and openly challenged him, because Charles already knew everything anyway.
