"You like romances?" she raised an eyebrow as she noticed Malavar beside her.
"Of course," he replied, his innocent face lit up as he gave her his smile.
It is thus easy to deceive people when they rely on appearances. And Malavar could be the most guilty of those people who deceive.
With his bright blue eyes, silver hair, and charming smile, he has captivated all the people he wanted or needed at some point in his life.

He stepped close from behind her and leaned, reaching for the same book she was about to take from the bookshelf.
The position of his outstreched arm while he was standing behind her made her feel like she has been trapped.
She could not help but panic when his breath fanned her nape. She felt the sudden urge to remove her bun just so she would not be so exposed.
"Do you want it?" he asked her, his voice suddenly serious and deep.
