There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 110. The Princess of Celestia

Senia Azra; the rising star groomed by Celestia since her awakening, and said to be a genius on par with Bassena Vaski.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t reach the highest floor trial till this day, so the title of the youngest saint-class was still firmly in Bassena’s status. In that case, Senia’s enmity toward Bassena was just like her guildmaster’s toward Radia.

While Celestia--or rather, its guildmaster--wanted to have the guide, Senia didn’t think the man mattered that much. She knew the guildmaster only wanted to snatch the man to hit Radia Mallarc anyway. And if the guide was also important for Bassena Vaski, then Senia would gladly cooperate.

That being said, she was here to probe this man. Askan Bellum said the guide rejected his proposal, which for Senia only went to prove his incompetence.

Why would you be asking a guide anyway? Guides, just like regular civilians, were only there to support the espers--as they should. They should have been told, not asked.

That was what she was here for--to tell the guide to ditch Trinity and come to Celestia. What could a delicate, weak guide do to an esper anyway?

But...

"You’re tall..." Senia, who was pretty insecure about her petite body, narrowed her eyes at the masked man. She had to look up, being only as tall as his chest, and it annoyed her.

The guide looked down, blue eyes staring impassively. "I’ve been told," he said, in a nice but nonchalant voice.

What the hell was wrong with this man? Didn’t he know who she was? Why did he talk to her so casually? Senia looked down with a slight frown--the man didn’t even take out his hands from his pocket.

Was he actually not a guide, but a random esper?

"Aren’t you Luzein?"

The expressionless face cracked for a split second in a slight frown, but soon resumed the bored look from before. "Yes," he said, and then shifted his gaze somewhere else.

The audacity!

"Don’t you know who I am?"

The blue eyes shifted back toward Senia, and the man simply answered dryly. "Yes."

Yes? Just that? So he knew she was the Princess of Celestia, and yet he dared to act like she was just a passerby? A mere guide like him?!

Senia narrowed his eyes, fingers itched to give the man a slap just like how she always did to educate a guide that became too absorbed in that guide’s rights activists’ movement. But she controlled herself by looking around, seeing the studio set and the staff so she could remember that she was in public.

Also, the man might be more reluctant to jump ship if she appeared too unfriendly now.

She could always educate him once he joined Celestia--and he will, since the guildmaster willed for it.

So Senia simply responded with an appreciative nod. "Yes, good, so you have some level of intelligence, at least," she said. There, she even complimented the man.

The guide raised his brow then, so Senia thought her praise must have been working, and she continued. "But why are you here? I heard the producer wants you to be on the show...wait! Could it be that snake didn’t let you on the screen? Is he scared the attention would shift to another person? Wow, so annoying..."

The blue eyes twitched slightly, and Senia thought that she must have been right. "Ahh, so ridiculous. The attention will shift to me, anyway," she stared at the guide and leaned forward slightly, pointing toward the man. "Tell you what--if you’re a member of Celestia, we’ll allow you to appear on TV and gain even more fame."

Senia smiled proudly to herself. Wow, she even slipped in a guild benefit talk--after all, who wouldn’t like clout and fame in this day? Although...well, it was just bullshit on her part. Why would she let a mere guide take the limelight in the sentinel community?

But for now, she should make the guide favor Celestia more. What was it that the guildmaster said...hmm...right! A sense of familiarity. "Right--aren’t you close with our Askan Bellum?"

Ugh--our...why would she acknowledge a lowly 3-star like him?

"I’m not sure," the guide replied, still with that impassive tone as if he had no interest in this conversation.

Zein tilted his head then. "I’m confused now--does Celestia want me to join them or stay away completely?" _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
