The Black Heart Of The One You Know: Part 6

Nathan calmed down after a few moments, and now, as if his mind had returned to its place, this question formed in his head:

• What happened to me? What were those strange reactions that I showed?

At this moment, a voice behind Petrus said:

• Oh, look what we have here! Two love pigeons are hugging each other.

Nathan immediately pulled himself out of Petrus' arms and saw Godfrey standing on the threshold of the bathroom with his hands on his chest and looking at him and Petrus with an unhappy expression.

Both Nathan and Petrus stood up and Petrus said:

• It is not what you think.

Godfrey:

• Really? You said the same thing about the late Levi.

Petrus said sharply:

• Don't talk about him.

Godfrey:

• Yes, yes, I know that it is forbidden to talk about him. Because the great monk Petrus is afraid that recounting Levi's sins will encourage others to commit them.

Petrus said angrily:

• Stop talking about him.

At this moment, Rosalie, who had come there, grabbed Godfrey's arm.

• My dear, it is better that we leave here.

Godfrey turned to Nathan.

• It is better to take care of yourself, being close to the monk Petrus will not bring you a happy ending.

He said this and then left Petrus' room with Rosalie. Natan and Petrus went out of the bathroom and sat facing each other behind the table. Nathan had his head down, thinking about Godfrey's words and the strange feelings he had experienced.

Petrus called him gently:

• Dear Nathan, do you want to talk to me about the problem that caused you agitation?

Nathan raised his head and said:

• Yes, I think it's better to share this with you... At that time I experienced a strong and strange feeling, a strong sense of chaos and agitation caused by not achieving something that I deeply desired.

• And what is that thing?

Nathan lowered his head in embarrassment.

• I am ashamed to say.

Petrus raised his hand and took Nathan's hand which was on the table and squeezed it.

• You should not be ashamed to tell me anything. In order to take good care of you, I need to know your every thought.

At this moment, Nathan remembered Godfrey's warning words:

• It is better to take care of yourself, being close to the monk Petrus will not bring you a happy ending.

And fear took hold of him. Why did Godfrey say this? Did Petrus really cause the ominous fate of Levi?

• Dear Nathan, I see terror in your face. It must be hard for you to trust me because of Godfrey's words. But you should not pay the slightest attention to the words of this creature, a creature that is drowned in darkness and quenching its thirst for blood is its most important priority.
