This is a very rough translation/summary of this chapter so pls don’t expect a 100% accurate translation lol read if you want~ btw things written in brackets [[ ]] are character thoughts and not things they’re actually saying out loud.
Spoilers for CH. 40 down below~ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Chapter 40 starts out with Aseph and LJ still holding the knife. He goes stiff and asks, “...What did you just say?” LJ uses this chance to take the knife away from him. “Give it to me. It’s dangerous...” But she shakes her head and throws the knife out the window behind her.
Aseph pulls her wrist again and asks again, “Zay, What did you say?!” But LJ is trying to avoid his eyes. “Tell me! what did you just say!?” he shouts. She pulls away from his grasp and doesn’t answer, but instead begins to untie the knot on her dress. Aseph is confused and shocked as to why she’s removing her top. “What are you doing? Are you insane?!” he tries stopping her, but she just looks up at him shaking.
She reveals the green seal on her chest to him and he’s at a loss for words.
[[You are someone who bears a seal?]]
Aseph is completely distraught after finding out the truth.
“This is a seal” LJ confesses, finally. “You don’t have to tell me (I know what it is)...” Aseph is covering his face when he says this.
He places his thumb over her seal pressing/rubbing into it. His face is angry/pissed.
[[Should I dig/cut it out?]] His hands are shaking. (the transl. says “shall we dig?” lmao so i'm assuming this is what he’s saying)
“God damnit…SON OF A BITCH!!” He shouts and he’s completely lost his composure at this point. (BTW I don’t think he was calling her a bitch, but just cursing out of anger.)
“Aseph..” she holds onto his trembling fist, “I’m sorry... I’m sorry I lied to you.” “Did you always know?” he asks, still shaking in anger. “I’m sorry...I love all the moments that I’m with you so I kept it hidden. I should have quit when I knew I could not be with you forever...I’m so sorry.” LJ is also scared and shaking at this point.
He doesn’t say anything at first and instead re-ties the knot on her dress to cover herself up. He dusts off his jacket (it fell to the floor during this fiasco lol) that she was wearing and places it back on her shoulders.
“Don’t get me wrong. This does not mean I’ve forgiven you…” he finally speaks, but she does not say anything. “I feel like I’m being played in your hands right now..”
LJ starts crying even more, and starts apologizing over and over again, but he’s not having it.
“Don’t apologize. Hearing it does not make me feel any better. How dare you...saying that you don’t love me?” he says.
LJ is hysterically crying and weeps,“I have a seal, but you don’t have one! That’s why…. My heart has a deadline... Someday it (my feelings) will disappear like a bubble...my heart...”
Aseph is speechless.
“I love you so much... you’re more important than my own life. I heard that the heart will break into pieces one day and disappear without a trace.” (uhhh i’m not sure if she’s talking about her own heart or his heart lol)
“How can I do that? How can I...when you say you love me…” “So?...” he interjects. (I think it’s more like so what are you trying to tell me…? Or pressing for her to continue..) “I like you...I love you too,” she finally says.
The next panels are silent with LJ burying her face into his chest (still crying) as he holds her. Aseph still looks upset, but it’s obvious that he’s forgiven her.
“I’m sorry...I’m sorry for hurting you Aseph.” she weeps, but he holds her closer telling her not to cry.
“The day turned out to be a mess, but I’m happy..” (uhh??? not sure about this translation cus it was worded weird sorry i tried lol)
The chapter ends with her father barging out of the ballroom shouting at them, “Aseph, you really!!...How dare you with my daughter!!”
-End of Chapter 40-
