To Cherish

Zeke was stunned when he heard that. He was so caught off guard by this sudden revelation that he failed to notice how this man had answered and treated him like a human being. What did he just hear? He was not breathing…? How was it possible?

However, when he pondered deeper about it, he felt like it was quite reasonable as well. After all, the kitten had been very weak and fragile when he woke up in its body. If not for the fact that Zeke knew the Imperial Palace was nearby and his determination to get there even if he had to drag his stiff body to it, the kitten would have already frozen itself to death. 

All of a sudden, he thought of another similar occasion. So previously when he woke up to find the stupid assassin's face so close to him, it was because he was checking whether Zeke was still breathing or not?
