Chapter 139
***
‘That’s definitely Carlisle's voice. But Carlisle appearing here out of the blue? When he wouldn't even agree to meet me when I asked?’
I remained frozen in place instead of getting up.
‘Could it be Ulysses masquerading as Carlisle? What if he learned that Carlisle had been avoiding me and came deliberately, pretending to be him?’
"Ah..."
‘Just the fact that I'm thinking this way is a sign that I might have fallen into his trap already.’
"Ulysses, that bastard...”
‘All this trouble because of him alone.’
I let out a subdued sigh and conjured a magic circle beneath my palm.
‘If it's Ulysses, I'll act as if I don't suspect anything and launch a close-range attack. He's far too skilled at dodging long-range attacks.’
"You know, Carlisle, do you remember the day we first met?"
As I approached the door to question him, I was met with a brief silence from the other side instead of a response.
‘Seeing that he’s not responding, it’s likely Ulysses.’
