After arriving at the dukes residence, Max belatedly realized Jubelian was not in the mansion. He clenched his jaw tightly.Where is she? Did sothing happen to her?All sorts of horrible thoughtsfrom she had gone on a date with another man to she had been kidnappedswirled in his mind. Max tried to control his reasoning but couldnt help that he was worried. He needed to see her at this mont.
Just where did she go? If sothing happened to herHis heart pounded. As his anxiety reached its peak, violent feelings arose.Ill kill all those who dare to lay a finger on you, and I will follow
Suddenly feeling another persons presence nearby, Max stood in a defensive stance, his hand on the hilt of his sword. It was the mont he was about to draw his weapon when a voice asked, What are you doing here?
Recognizing the tone, Max let out a sigh of relief. It was just his master. Max then stood with a perplexed expression. If his master was in the mansion, that ant Jubelian wouldnt have been kidnapped at least. Where is Jubelian? Max queried, barely suppressing his anxious feelings.
Whats it to you?
The cold words ignited Maxs resentnt toward his teacher. Master! he cried. He didnt understand why his master was being so unhelpful. Wasnthethe one who requested Jubelian to be protected at all tis?
His apprentices glare blatantly revealed his grudges. Regis could feel him staring but paid no heed. How could you pledge to protect soone else if you cant even protect yourself?
Max frowned at his masters disdainful question. What are you talking about?
I just find it interesting how you keep losing your mind every ti my daughter is out of your sight.
Max couldnt deny it. Although he didnt want to admit it, it was true. Whenever Jubelian was not around him, he felt uneasysotis to the point of going berserk. There were also tis when he felt extrely upset to the point of feeling like he was on fire. He would grow frustrated at such tis as he knew no way to control his temper.
Maximillian, his master called just then. Max raised his head to face the duke. Sighing, his teacher continued, Have you ever thought that just because you werent around her didnt an she was in trouble? She isnt a child that cannot distinguish dangerous situations from those that are not.
Ive never said that, Max retorted furiously. He then recalled the tis Jubelian had smiled at him. She was sloppy, defenseless, and slow to read the atmosphereyet she was an extrely lovely lady he couldnt keep his eyes away from. Im just worried about her.
Listening to his apprentices confession, Regis was prompted to recall the fragnts of his mory.
It seems there is no trust between us.
If I hadnt been so overprotectiveRegis sighed. Although he couldnt say he had been in love with his wife while she was alive, the events of that day had beco an indelible scar for him. Clenching his fists, he advised, There are tis when you must trust your partner and wait for them. He then observed his apprentice. Although he possessed excellent swordsmanship, Max had been a cold-blooded maniac who cared for no one. Regis even once thought Maxs soul had been severely destroyed until Jubelian turned him into a human with emotions.
My daughter may seem weak on the outside, but she is not so on the inside. She is also a wise one. Trust her and focus on your own duties.
Max couldnt fully understand but decided to follow his masters instructions for now. Understood. Ill be leaving then.
Regis watched as his disciple left the mansion. The corners of his lips slowly rose.He usually fails to notice my presence but realized I was nearby this ti. It seems that his skills have improved.
