After returning to the hotel, they truly took a rest. Maya was enjoying her time in all facilities built inside this hotel while Theo and Agata spent their time together in the room, playing a mind game.
In the middle of their game, Agata couldn't help but ask, "Theo… Do you think I should join you to go to the Starry Group in the near future?"
Theo looked into her eyes and smiled. "That's up to you. I can't really force you to go with me. According to our contract, you would only be my assistant as long as I'm in Italy. So, when I leave, you won't be bound to me anymore."
"You're always like that." Agata sighed as her expression became serious. "I want to know whether you want me to go with you or not…"
Theo fell silent and looked down, not knowing what to say.
Agata didn't back down. She kept staring at him without flinching. It had already been more than a year since she had accompanied him. Although Theo had recognized her feelings only a few months ago, she wished to know whether there was a chance or not.
"To be honest, I do enjoy your company." Theo sighed and answered honestly. "If I truly can bring someone with me, I'll choose you, so you can stay with me. I don't deny that your help has had a significant impact on my life, and without you, I won't be able to advance this fast.
"I can say without a doubt that you're someone that I can completely trust my back to." Theo scratched the back of his head while looking left and right, feeling a bit embarrassed saying all that stuff.
"However, I can't truly force you to come with me. You have a family in Italy. You have everything there, a caring family, a fortune, a power to decide your own fate.
"Meanwhile, bringing you with me means you'll be bound to the Starry Group for at least a decade. If it's only a year or two, I won't hesitate to ask you to go with me.
"But we're talking about more than ten years. Binding your life like this… I'm afraid I don't dare to do it as of now.
"That's why I can't say anything regarding your decision. My commitment is not there yet." Theo shook his head helplessly. "I'm sorry if my answer is not satisfactory."
Agata smiled while listening to her answer. There wasn't a trace of disappointment on her face. Her smile was too bright.
"I'm glad." Agata opened her mouth, saying these words that stunned Theo.
"Eh? You're glad?" Theo was bewildered.
"That means you're considering my feelings and future. And you're seeking a serious relationship, unlike others who want to try first and break up later when they get bored." Agata made a cheeky grin and explained, "In the past, you would certainly change the topic to avoid answering my question because you didn't have any of that commitment.
"But now, I guess I've made some progress. You said you would bring me if it's only one or two years instead of rejecting that idea. Doesn't that mean it's a progress?
"I have a caring family, so I don't know how hurt it is to have your family pushing you to the brink. I don't know how it feels, but I have certainly imagined such a situation.
"What if my family didn't care about me, and they chose to treat me as a political tool to increase their power? What if no one stood up for me, and I ended up becoming someone's accessory?
"When I thought about it, I could imagine your pain. So, I won't push you for an answer. I'm just glad that you still give me a chance. You didn't completely shut that door… Hehe." Agata couldn't contain her smile.
Theo was stunned at her reaction and answer. There were mixed feelings in his heart as he couldn't help but look away.
"Thank you."
"I'll give you my answer when that time comes. Just don't suddenly disappear on me, okay?" Agata said.
"Yeah, absolutely." Theo smiled back.
Listening to their conversation from the room, Ava was lying down on her bed and staring at the ceiling.
'Hmm, caring huh…' Ava closed her eyes, recalling the first time she met Theo. She thought, 'Well, no one knows Theo's kindness more than me. Now that I think about it… How many people have Theo killed? I still remember the guy that I met on Thersland… the one that baited him to the lake.
'Then, it was during the Dragon Extermination that Theo killed multiple enemies, including Sihan… or that was what Theo told me. Then, has he actually killed someone in Italy?
'Although there are many people dying around him, I don't think he has killed anyone… All those people died in the hands of the people around him, not himself.' Ava suddenly realized the truth.
Theo's kindness seemed to remain despite his behaviors. He didn't kill indiscriminately. He only killed when there was no other choice.
As for other people's deaths, he only caused their own downfalls, not their death. They could still get back up as long as they didn't surpass the limit of Theo's tolerance, but it didn't change the fact that he was still directly involved with their deaths.
'I guess that's how it is for him. As long as there's no necessity, Theo never wants to kill other people. Well, that's causing some controversies, but I think Theo has always been conscious about this.
'As of now, I think the one he wants to kill is that Lange Family… What was his name again? Ben Lange? Anyway, I think it's only him. How about his parents?' She thought for a moment and got confused by herself.
'Never mind, I think he's not planning to kill his parents. He might cause some trouble with their family to share some pain that he has endured, but I don't think he's gonna kill them.
'Well, that's fine for me. At the very least, he's not a psycho that will kill anyone just because they exist. I hope Theo never changes…
'And Agata seems to be able to understand Theo and respect him. If she becomes the one he ends up with, Theo'll certainly prioritize her more than anyone else. There's also Alea and his cousin, Nella.
'Nella doesn't meet him too much while Alea has undergone many changes since she first met him… Hmm, I don't know who to choose… At the very least, I know that Theo's shoulder is mine. If they dare to get that, I'm going to disapprove of their relationship. Hmph..' Ava harrumphed before deciding to sleep.
