Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 1180

"What's your background, really?" Sebastian asked curiously.

"Why do you want to know?" Faylin shot back.

"I want to know where you come from and what it would take to be worthy of you," Sebastian replied with a grin.

"Are you serious?" Faylin asked.

"Do I look like I'm joking? Even if you won't admit it, you're already my woman. I have to take responsibility for you," Sebastian said.

"Before today, you owed me nothing. This was just a transaction, so there's no need for you to feel responsible," Faylin replied.

"And what if I told you I like you?" Sebastian asked earnestly.

"You're not good enough for me," Faylin said in disdain.

"I…" Sebastian was momentarily at a loss for words. Then, he took hold of her chin and asked, "So what if you're the daughter of a prominent family? Right now, you're still lying here beneath me, at my mercy."

"You scoundrel!" Faylin flushed with anger and shame as she raised her hand to slap him.

But Sebastian was prepared. He grabbed her wrist and kissed her before she could speak.

What followed was another intense exchange, but this time not for the sake of healing. Although dual cultivation had helped his recovery initially, further sessions wouldn't have much effect on his injuries. This time, it was purely about conquest.

"If you kill Calix, there's no one left seeking personal vengeance. If Gaudium Sacred Ground pursues you, it would be purely for reputation, so they likely won't go after those close to you. Sacred Grounds care a lot about their reputation," Faylin explained.

Sebastian nodded. "Alright, I'll follow your advice. Once I've settled matters here, I'll head to Violetta Sacred Ground."

After resting briefly, Sebastian got dressed and prepared to leave, with Faylin's help. His injuries were still severe, making it difficult to even fly.

Faylin escorted him to a spot less than a mile from Aruna City. As she turned to leave, Sebastian grabbed her hand. "Are you still training at Swordity?"

Faylin shook her head. "I'm going home."

"Where is your home?" Sebastian asked.
