Shattered Innocence: Transmigrated Into a Novel as an Extra

Chapter 513: Bloody annoying

Lucavion tilted his head, studying her with that insufferable mix of amusement and knowing. Then, in a voice laced with deliberate exasperation, he muttered, "Reckless."

Aeliana's brows furrowed. "What?"

He sighed, shaking his head as if she had just proven a point. "Just like a certain someone," he continued, his smirk deepening. "Always acting before listening to the full story."

Aeliana immediately knew who he was referring to.

Aeliana's glare sharpened. "Oh, please," she shot back. "If I ever want to learn something from you, I have to jump through hoops and drag the truth out of you." Her voice dipped with irritation. "It's bloody annoying."

Lucavion exhaled a soft chuckle, completely unbothered by her frustration. "That sounds like a you problem, Aeliana."

She scoffed. "It's a you problem."

"Mm. Disagree."

Aeliana clenched her teeth, her grip still locked around his wrist.

Instead, she inhaled sharply, tightening her hold.

"You're still taking me with you," she stated, unwavering.
