Raith looked intently at Kate whose eyes widened. She then pointed her index finger to herself.
“Yes, I’m talking to you.” Lady Octavia said. “Raith’s ideal type is totally ideal, my daughter. Unlike you who’s ideal type was worthless.” Kate’s ears burned as she clenched her jaw. Lady Octavia really like Elias for her daughter not until the Great Revolt happened and Elias and Luis were forced to stay with Amber.
“I hope your ideal is someone who is the total opposite of Elia-“ Lady Octavia stopped when Kate stood up from her seat angrily, making her seat fall on the ground.
“Manners-“
“My ideal type is someone who has the guts to call me ugly and weak, mom. Someone who’s brave enough to steal m
Kate hugged her pillow tightly but… “When did my pillow become this hard,”She asked herself and stopped when she felt something moving above her. “Since when did my pillow stroked my hair?”She asked herself again. Slowly, she opened her eyes. For a moment her vision was blurry then she saw a foggy familiar face smiling at her. “Good morning.” His voice was husky. She blinked a couple of times before realizing the state she was in. Her hands wrapped tightly to Raith’s waist, and she just removed her face from his firm chest. Her head pillowed Raith’s arm, and his free hand gently strokes her hair. Her eyes widene
Ashriel looked at her reflection in the mirror and her eyes caught the necklace Nathan gave. She took a deep breath and looked at Olive who was staring at her for a while now. “Boss, will you be okay?” She asked worriedly. Ashriel sighed deeply before nodding her head. “This will be a dangerous mission.” Olive added and Ashriel walked towards her. Ashriel and Olive’s mission will take place at the Seiron Kingdom but before they can enter that forsaken place, they needed to pass through the border and the dreadful security. Dreadful because when the system detects unknown people, it automatically releases bombs. And the most unwanted person in the Seiron Kingdom is Ashriel, causing their mission to be more dreadful. “If not for the innocent people, I already sent nuclear bomb or hydrogen b
“Why are you scared of the Ruler?” Ashriel asked her. “I heard that she is vicious and merciless. And she kills people who are useless.” The woman felt her body slightly shudder. “I never saw her face but I think, I’ll faint in fear if ever I do.” She chuckled and gave Ashriel the paper bag containing the food and drink she bought. Ashriel’s face distorted.“Is that really my image for my people?”She asked herself. “You said you are a new recruit. Do you have any place to sleep?” The woman asked and Ashriel stopped. It was her mission to enter Seiron but having a place to stay was out of her mind. She held her head. “For Pete’s sake how can I forget that?”She asked herself angrily. Seeing what she did, the lady l
Ashriel was starstruck by everything in front of her. She ate two spoons and put her spoon down, taste the soup, and drink her juice. Everything she does has patterns. She cannot hide her proper posture as she ate but…“Woah, how can this taste good with only a few ingredients?!” Ava exclaimed and ate another spoonful of her food.“Delicious!” The blonde boy said and ate two spoonfuls of his food. “Ack!”Ashriel hurriedly gave him a glass of water. “Eat slowly. No one will steal your food.” Ashriel said and ge
“Nile? What are you doing there?” Ashriel asked with a stern tone and motioned Siel to put her gun down. Siel did as she was told but did not put her guard down. Her eyes then searched the surroundings.“What’s wrong?” Ashriel asked with a softer tone, seeing that Nile’s eyes were sharp for a three-year-old boy. Nile looked at the orphanage house before pointing to the flower beds not too far from them. “What’s in there?”“Bodies.” Nile answered swiftly making Siel stop. Ashriel’s eyes narrowed.
“W-What?” The smile on Ava’s lips was totally erased as she felt her heart beats faster. Her hand that was holding the bottle became sweaty as her grip on it tightened. Ashriel remained calm with her blank expression.“I said drink” Ashriel said again more firmly.“N-No – I mean, why? I-I… I made it for you- mph!”Ashriel wasted no time and quickly grabbed Ava’s cheeks and squeezed it pissedly.
Nile felt his chest ache every time he inhaled air. Yuria and Jared felt the same and Yuria cried in fear. Ashriel grinned her teeth. The three inhaled a lot of that poisonous gas.“Stop crying,” Nile said and cough. “You’re worsening your situation, Ria.” He added as his voice faltered. Yuria crumpled her chest firmly as she swallowed the lump on her throat. It hurts so bad for a three-year-old girl.After a minute, Siel found the antidote Venice gave to Ashriel before she left. Ashriel suddenly felt her chest ache as well but ignored it. Jared lied on the mossy ground, unable to breat
“Zil!”Ashriel opened wide her eyes as she gasped for air. The forest was cold, but she was sweating heavily. Nile was shaking her shoulders anxiously.“Young Master, what’s wrong?” Siel asked worriedly and wiped Ashriel’s sweats. Ashriel pants, then slowly takes a few deep breaths. “Are you hurt? Is your stomach okay? Was it the poison? Or was it the antidote?” Siel bombarded. Ashriel shook her head and washed her face with her two palms.“None of the above.” She whispere
