Veronica's gaze fell on the boy standing before her.
Resting her pen, she conjured a beautiful simile before greeting back.
"It's nice to see you, youngest."
Leon's brows twitched at the sight. For a second, he thought that he was hallucinating.
But it was real.
"..."
That expression on her face was not something he was expecting.
'Did she just smile?'
He didn't recall ever adding this facial feature to her character, nor could he imagine the Veronica he knew being capable of mustering it.
In the game's storyline, Veronica was supposed to be a cold-hearted ice queen. Who cared less about useless people.
"..."
Rising from her seat, she walked toward Leon.
With graceful movements and an elegant demeanour, her golden, piercing gaze stayed fixed on him the entire time, as if reading him from the inside out.
"..."
Tak—! Tak—!
