Chapter 792: We are all broken

He is the only one around her now who could make her react this way.

That bastard. What has he done to her? He could think of several things, but with Narasaki and Terashima around, how could he possibly have gotten close enough to Sumire?

Unless they didn't know?

It wouldn't be surprising. Sumire is very good at hiding. Last he heard from the lord, too, Nagawa is failing as a pawn because Sumire was using him. Meaning Sumire was playing her games with him, only for it to backfire.

"It was him, wasn't it?" Toh tried to control his tone. But he was beyond furious.

He thought there was something else wrong with her. She acted too cautiously whenever he touched her. At first, he thought it was because she was taken now, so she was setting up the necessary boundaries. But that's not it.

She was genuinely afraid.

There was something wrong, multiple things even. However, who would have thought it was this?
