Chapter 67

"I'm despicable, aren't I?"

Chess watched as Aoi looked outside the window. He listened silently as Aoi told him his story, observing his expressions.

"Then, ever since then, I always treated my self like a criminal on loose. I didn't really regret what I did, but I was scared to face the world. I was afraid to face the consequences of what I did." He said that with a small smile on his lips.

He looked so calm while talking about his dark past. Most people wouldn't even be able to talk about it, but here he is, smiling. Chess found it remarkable.

"Only my psychiatrist and my uncle knew what I did. So, when the Chairman suddenly found out about it, my uncle immediately got me a new psychiatrist, and he's attending to me until now. But it was already late since I was already thrown into the Pawns." He added.

Chess tilted his head to look at him.

He was weighing his words.

Until a second later, he decided to just ask.
