Xiao only trusted him because he was Lumine's twin brother, so how come  he found himself with the hand chained against the bedframe? He couldn't break free, his was a different kind of chain.

Aether spoke so softly to him, he seemed so kind. When he talked to the Yaksha, Xiao didn't know he had any bad intentions.. He listened to him, and when he did, he felt a sharp thing in his neck, which made him unconscious, and then woke up in this place.

He was in the Prince's room, chained, somewhere in the castle, somewhere in the Abyss. The energy of the Abyss gave the Yaksha some sort of adrenaline, it pressed onto him and he felt anxious.

He suddenly heard the door cracking open, the prince stepped in and closed it.

"You're awake, Adeptus Xiao?"

The Prince of the Abyss chuckled lowly, walking to the chained yaksha.

"Don't worry, I already absorbed all of your power while you were unconscious, but I don't think I'll let you go.. You're going to just stay here and look pretty for me, okay?"

His voice was so gentle, so smooth, so soft... why does he have to be a soft-spoken manipulator? Why did Xiao have to be so naive and believe him?! He hardly trusts anybody, but he only trusted Aether because of Lumine.

How shameful for an adeptus.
