“Aaron you dumbass! Take a look! “
Aaron caught me before I fell to the ground. And now Hela’s so mad about Aaron and I can really tell that she’s concerned.“Tsk. She’ll get over it in a minute. It’s even worse in our training.“That’s all Aaron said and handed me to Hela.That idiot! He doesn’t have gentleness in his body. But truth to be told you just lost that odd feeling because Aaron was right our training was the worst.“Are you okay?! “Hela asked incredulously because we straightened up again. I just nodded at her and chased Aaron to punch him in the face.“You jerk! You didn’t even say there was such a thing! Idiot! ““Hey! It hurts! “I rolled my eyes at him and stopped him. He wasn’t hurt maybe a little. I hope we get hurt.“If I told you would anything change? It’ll be the same anyway.”I just stared at him because he had a point and he also caught me so maybe that’s okay.“You guys are cute.”Hela said suddenly and laughed. My cousin glared at him while I just shrugged. Aaron’s like my brother he’s not gentle but he’s overprotective sometimes just like his father.And since I was busy earlier with my cousin’s silliness I didn’t notice the beauty of the academy. There are tall buildings but vines are growing there. I also see butterflies in different colors. They also have a large fountain in the most central part of the academy. And in every pathway, there is a glow.“Wow.” It’s the first time that escaped my mouth when I noticed the place.“Yeah wow, that was also the one I said when I came in here.”I nodded to Hela. I didn’t know you were so beautiful here. Despite the rumors I hear at this school, there are also good things.We continued walking until we came down a flight of stairs.“Where are we going?”“Headmaster’s.” My cousin’s frugal answer. I just followed them.“Where are my things?” I asked without noticing that my belongings no longer followed us.“Ah. The faculty already took care of it. By now, it’s in the dorm.”I grabbed my cousin when it suddenly got dark along the way. “Chicken.” I frowned at him. It’s not because I’m used to it that I’m not afraid he’s really annoying.When it finally became clear, I pushed my cousin. I think I pushed him harder because he fell on the wall. And because it’s normal for my cousin to do that, I just left him and followed Hela.I hope we get to where we’re going, I’m tired of walking, we’re embarrassed by my dress, aren’t we. It’s good that Hela didn’t criticize. This is how I dress but when I saw what he was wearing, it seemed like I wanted to change my clothes.“Oh. You’re here, Iris. “The headmaster my godfather said casually.“Hi godfather!” That’s all I said.“You’re his what?”Hela asked.“Godfather Hela, are you deaf?”Aaron replied for godfather. The godfather just shook his head at them.“Am I not supposed to call you that?” I innocently question him.“Uh no princess, of course, you can call me that.”I smiled at him. Thank god, because I’m not used to calling him “sir” and I guessed he’s not strict.“So you burned your invitation?”I smiled awkwardly at him.“Uh ...”“What? You fucking burned the invitation? “Hela asked incredulously.“Didn’t you know that you’re so damn lucky because you’re invited in?”“Uhm no?”“Unbelievable!”My cousin just laughed at her.“Now that you’re here I just want to tell you that you have no other choice but to continue here.”I nodded at him. I know that.I knew what I entered and I took responsibility for it. “And I don’t want you using your power to get out of here okay?”And now he sounds like a headmaster.Why is he thinking that I’m gonna escape? Is his school ugly? And since I had no plan I nodded.“Good. Now Hela escort her to your dorms. Aaron you stay. “My cousin nodded and Hela pulled me.“What are they gonna talk about?”She just shrugged. I should probably keep my curiosity to myself.“This one we’re crossing now is station 1 of the academy.”“The academy has three stations. The first station is the school buildings. And the second station is where we do t-training. And you see that? “she pointed many students far away. “That’s the third station. There are our dorms as well as those leisures. There are hotels and restaurants there. “What? There’s a hotel and restaurant inside an academy ?! That’s just awesome. I bet the council really spend a fortune on making this school from their gates to their well buildings and such. I know the school was founded a hundred years ago but it feels new.“Why have a hotel? The restaurant is okay because you might be picky about foods so ... “She smirked at me. “Hotel of course everyone has needs and when in the dorm there is no privacy.”I don’t know but I blushed at what he said! Seriously I know we’re at the right age but gosh! I’m still not comfortable with that kind of talk. Most of my cousins are boys so sometimes I hear that but what the hell? Hearing it from Hela is so just ... never mind.Rio's POV When you want something, you do anything to get it. When you want to protect someone, you'd do anything to do it. Life is a gamble, sometimes we and sometimes we lose. And in my case, I lost in the gamble of life. I lost the woman that I love without even showcasing what I truly feel towards her. I don’t know what really happened to him.That day, he suddenly disappeared and I didn't even know what really happened to him. Is she dead? Is she coming back? I don't know.
After the exchange of sharp words between Aaron and Rio the traitor left as well.Unbelievably, maybe I should admit that there are things we really don't expect to happen.Just like my cousin, I thought he was loyal to us, to his family but he just seemed to be honest with himself.I no longer knew what to say to her mom.Her husband is dead and her son helped the king to kill him. I couldn’t help but gasp. The next day I woke up to a loud explosion above."What's that, Rio?"I asked nervously.Maybe they did something bad to my father. "Something's happening." "What is that?" Later something exploded again.I also heard as if someone was shouting."Could it be that it's them?" Rio could not answer my question.He may also be unaware of whatever is going on. If before there was an
I woke up with a shake of my shoulder.I was immediately grabbed by my head because of the pain.When I opened my eyes Rio exposed himself to me, worried."You're still bleeding," he commented.I grabbed my forehead and felt the hot liquid.Tsk."Where are we?""In the dungeon."I looked around and he was right.We're in the dungeon.Somewhere beneath the ground."They gave us until tomorrow sundown to surrender the stone. If you don't hand it they will take you father's life." So it's still not over huh?"Where's Angel and Jax?"I asked him."They managed to escape but they only got two trait stones. Aaron stopped them from getting the other two."Tears welled up in my eyes as he mentioned my cousin's name.My friend is a traitor. My cousin is a traitor and lastly my un
I felt the pain in my stomach.I can see nothing but blood.Blood kept flowing from my stomach.And there's also blood in my mouth.I was depressed, and I wasn’t even shocked that I spit blood. "Iris!"my friends shout at me.I can't even looked at them. Later Jade drew the sword so I got on my knees. I heard Vale's footsteps towards me.He cupped my face."You lost Franchesca, why don't you hand me the stone?" I spat at him."Never." He grabbed her face.He looks mad."Then I guess your father's
"So this is the problem Uno's talking about huh?" Jax commented while looking at Jade."I didn't know that some snake is already crawling behind our backs." Rio added.But Jade doesn't seem to care. Instead she smiled sweetly at the two. "Oh boys! I enjoyed being with you! Especially since you're so ignorant of what's going on!""You're crazy." Jax hissed."I have a lot of fun!" Jade said excitedly. It makes me wanna pull her hair. Damn, traitor.The king spoke again. "You see, Jade has ambitions. And that is to become powerful by influence. So she agreed to be my eye in the academy so that he can marry my son Vince and become the queen."I looked at Jade in shock. "And here I thought you were content with what you have now." No emotion if promised to him."Oh come on Iris, everybody dreams! It's just a coincidence that her dreams are lofty." That's when I lost control. I attacked the king with my traits but Jade quickly blocked the attack using th
I should have just woken up and gone down the tree.I was so shocked to see Rio wide awake. Did he sleep? just woke up?I wanted to ask him but my pride won't let me. After what he did in Avalon's place, it feels like he's not the Rio that I used to know.Even if Rio is a bit harsh, he would at least explain to me what the hell is happening. But instead he chose to mock me and be mum.Jax and Angel are hugging each other. They are still fine and have no problems.I sighed. I'm about to step on Angel when Rio speaks."Why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?" he asked. Difficult.I turned to him. "I was about to tell you but Aaron interfered. He said something very disturbing. I can't trust you."He laughed heartily. "You really think that I'll betray you? Especially now that you know who I am?""Oh, come on! You didn't tell me who you are either!" I scolded him."Because it's not important at all!""Then your father being the
