I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband Chapter 251 Dark yet unforgettable times

"Okay, it's time for me to go." Zaki then said and he's about to leave when Sei grabbed his shoulder from the back.

"Who allowed you to go?" he said with a terrifying gaze and Zaki could only look back at him.

"I'll do something about it." He continued and he was about to walk towards his study room when Zaki blocked him.

"If you're planning to send them false information, that will only delay them for a few hours. And if you do that, they will surely become even more suspicious. I know you know what I mean Sei." Zaki explained and Sei's gaze turned dark.

"Then, take Kir with you. Ryou and the others are enough to stay with me." He said and Zaki scratched his head.

"No, Kir will stay with you. I'll go alone." Zaki said, his eyes were determined and wild. Looking at Sei with intensely dangerous look, indicating his seriousness to do the job.

"This plan is the best thing we could do confuse them not just now but for a long while. They will s.h.i.+ft their attention towards country C if they saw me there. If that happens you will be given more time to investigate freely once we teach country H. We never parted all these years so they will definitely think that you are with me without question. I know you already thought about this for a long while now. Don't worry, didn't I told you before? What happened that time will never happen again." Zaki continued. His voice was still firm and unwavering.

Zaki was aware why Sei was hesitant to let him go. Nine years ago, when they both were cornered by the enemy, Zaki thought about sacrificing himself. Sei never let him no matter what he says but because of the hopeless situation, Zaki didn't listen to him so he chained Sei before he left him and lured the enemy away from where Sei was. Zaki still remembered what Sei told him that moment he came back drenched with blood after half a day and he couldn't help but smile. 'Zaki… if you do this again, I will kill you.' Those words he said surprised his young self to the core. Back then, he was just a teenager who thought nothing but doing everything to protect Sei. Those times, he thought that the only reason of his existence was to protect him and nothing more. He thought that it maybe because of how he was created that he thinks and acts that way. He didn't once mind if he gets hurt as long as he could protect him, he's not thinking about his own safety at all, that's why he didn't get why Sei was angry on what he did. That same day, Sei spoke to him while they both treats his wounds. Sei was just like an old man speaking so seriously to the young him. 'Remember what I'll tell you. I don't need someone who sacrifice their life for me. If you want to protect me, protect yourself first. If you can't do that, then I don't need you.' He said and since then, Zaki stayed beside Sei. He sometimes leaves him for a while for some dangerous mission but Sei will always tell him the words, 'If something happens to you, I'll kill you' before left and it made him act extra careful. The young Zaki was still learning to become a normal human those times but knowing that Sei want him to care for his own life was enough for him. After all, he was raised by their mother as a kind brother to him.

Reminiscing about those dark yet unforgettable times, Zaki could only grin.

"Don't worry Sei. I'll be extra careful as usual. There's no way I'd let anything unfortunate happen to me. And most importantly, I don't want to be killed by you." He said and Sei's grip on his shoulder loosen before he slowly put down his hand.
