(P.H.) Gil x IllegalContractor!Reader Part Four~

    "This is Oz Vessalius," Gil answered for him. "My master."
    Your eyes widened in surprise as the memories of Gil talking about his beloved master flooded your mind.
    "W-wait! I-isn't he a little young to be the master you always spoke of? He's younger than me by the looks of it," you inquired.
    Gil shook his head. "He's 25 years old."
    Before you could protest, the young boy Gil claimed was his master said, "I was thrown into the abyss for 10 years."
    You quickly did the math in your head, and it all finally made sense. 'Huh... so he's as old as me...'
    Then you finally realized Break was waving his hand in front of your face. "Earth to (f/n). Come in (f/n)."
    You quickly shook your head. "Ah, sorry!"
    Oz waltzed over to you. "What's on your mind, (y/n)?"
    Smiling, you replied, "I just find it hard to believe that you're the same age as me."
    Oz raised an eyebrow, studying your features. "But you can't possibly be over 20 years old."
    He had caught you there. Although you were indeed 25 years old, you had only aged 17 of those years, due to being in the abyss.
    You knew that you weren't going to be able to get past this without revealing a little bit of your past.
    "I-I was thrown into the abyss for a little over 8 years."
    Due to how long you'd been out in the corridor, everyone had eventually come out. Hearing this, their expressions gave away how surprised they were to hear this, with the exception of Break, as he already knew.
    Gil was the first to speak. "(F/n).... for how long I've known you, you've never mentioned this before....."
    You simply shrugged and said, "surprise?" Then a thought occurred to you. "Where did you think I was when I disappeared? Not long after we met, I disappeared for three years, more or less. Then, ten years ago, I disappeared for five."
    You realized that you may have revealed too much. Unfortunately, Gil caught on to what you said.
    "You were thrown into the abyss twice?!"
    'Damn....' You nodded.
    Oscar asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "How did you get out?"
    "P-pure luck," you stuttered out. That wasn't entirely false. The first time you'd managed to get out through some kind of opening that led out of the abyss. However, the second time... that was when you made the contract with (y/c/n). You weren't sure why (he/she) had accepted the contract; it must have been boredom.... or pity.
    You poised yourself to run as Lady Sharon questioned your answer: "I don't believe that is true. Perhaps you may have been lucky one time... but the other?" She shook her head.
    A small girl appeared behind Oz. She looked to be about the same age as him. Her violet eyes and long dark brown hair seemed undoubtedly familiar. She looked at you with a serious expression, her eyes like daggers.
    The was a long silence that took over. Then, the small girl broke it with the one phrase you were hoping would never be uttered.
    "She's an illegal contractor."
