Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 335  [Who killed Mary?] [3] [Lumi]

"H-Himmel."

"Yeah?"

I turned my head slightly at the sound of Zenith's voice, her unease clear in the way she spoke.

"Are you really going to do it?" she asked, eyes pleading for me to say no.

I sighed, rubbing my face. "I don't want to spend any more time here."

"Tell me more about Lumi," I said, glancing at her. "And what we saw in the garden."

She blinked, processing my request. "Oh, let me think."

The dim lighting around us shifted—
