Kira paused for a mont and looked at Justin's face and giggled.
"How do you know?"
"I have my ways…" He grinned as she held her waist, leading her to sit on his legs.
Hmm!
She pouted as she twisted her lips, resting her head on his head.
"I was surprised when I saw the notification but the later part of it made it clear." She said slowly.
"What part…" Justin creased his brow.
"We're selected to help you get stronger in the incoming danger."
Hearing this, he paused for a mont to arrange his thoughts. 'It seems sothing is trying to help us. But how do bonds to another person help us in the incoming danger.'
"I know what you are thinking about and I have thought about it. But I guess we can only wait and see." She raised her head from his chest and looked straight into his eyes.
Kissing her nose with a smile as he said. "I guess that's the only thing we could do."
Knock! Knock!
Justin looked at Kira's face and she averted her gaze. "Since we're going to help you in the future. We should get to know each other." She giggled.
"Why do I feel there is more to the notification than what you're telling ? " He leaned his head back.
"Indeed…. There is more to it. But I won't tell you for now. You know I won't harm, right?"
"Hmm. Hmm." He nodded and looked at the door and said "Co in"
Outside the door, Susan took a deep breath as she opened the door. She knew Justin would have long discovered her. So she didn't bother to announce her arrival.
She entered the big cozy room but her gaze only fixed in a certain direction. She was a bit surprised, though she knew of their relationships.
Quickly, she regained her expressionless face as she walked slowly and sat opposite the two love birds.
"Your highness, Kira said you need my attention," Susan said.
It took a lot of determination and will before she was subjected to the calling of him being his Highness.
Willing or unwilling, she knew if she wanted to change the ways things are done. She would have the strength and currently, she doesn't. Besides, Justin being the king doesn't change many things in the camp.
Justin looked at the cold beauty for a mont before he cleared his throat.
"I know you have so misgiving about but I don't care. Since we're bonded and know each other's secrets. I think we should talk and have a common ground."
Susan didn't have any change in her expression when she heard Justin. She exhaled and said slowly.
"First, I don't trust you or anybody…."
"That… I can see." He interrupted.
Susan when she was interrupted but regained her expression before she continued.
"I don't know you and don't understand what the hell is going on…" She paused for a mont and continued.
"I feel naked in front of you. You knew all my deepest secrets without my permission. All for the sake of so power or whatnot." Her voice was laced with anger.
Justin and Kira didn't utter a word as they stared at her patiently, waiting for her to continue to vent her anger.
After a couple of seconds and not hearing words from the two. Susan was puzzled and looked at their faces.
"Why are you not talking?"
"We are giving you room to vent out your anger. Are you done?" Kira asked casually.
,m Since the three were connected with soul-link they could feel all her conflicted emotions. So they understood how she felt.
Susan was taken aback by the casual remark from Kira. She looked at her for a mont and said,
"I'm done."
'What with these two…' She shouted in her mind.
Kira looked at Justin's face for a mont before she stood up from his lap and walked casually beside Susan.
She held her hand but Susan wanted to withdraw her hand subconsciously but seeing the radiant smile on Kira's face, she stopped her action.
"I know how you feel and you have the right to be angry…." She paused and shook her head.
"When his Highness and I bonded. We knew nothing about each other and it's not like we can do anything about it. Since then, we let everything flow naturally."
"Though you may see it is an intrusion of privacy. Those behind everything didn't care about our little private lives. Besides, the incoming danger won't care about it."
"Watching each other's mories gives you the ability to know what type of person your partner was…."
"What type of person is he?" She pointed to Justin.
Hmm!
Susan was surprised by the sudden question and glanced at Justin before she said slowly.
"N-Not Bad."
Justin creased his brow when he heard he was not bad from Susan. He wanted to respond when he heard Kira's voice in his head.
'Please, don't talk.'
'Why not?'
'You won't understand. It's about won's things.' She giggled.
Their short conversation only happened in a flash. Susan was expecting a comnt from Justin but heard none.
'Hmm… that's new.'
She knew what she said wasn't good but she couldn't find any words to describe his experience. Comparing her mory to his was comparing a kid to an adult and her proud personality won't allow her to accept defeat.
"See, he isn't bad. You just have to let go and follow the flow. You should know he won't divulge your secret. And with the look of things. Your secret is the least of our worries." Kira said and looked at Justin's face.
'Won't you talk?' Kira asked.
'What!' Justin exclaid.
'Do you expect to do all the talking?'
'I never ask you to do the talking in the first place.'
'Now, are you blaming for assisting you?' her voice was laced with anger.
'That not it. Let's forget about it.'
Justin was already seeing the future headache he'd get from Kira. He took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Susan… I know you are insecure about your experience and I understood. So why don't you treat this soul bond of a thing as sothing of the past since you are not comfortable about it."
"I won't talk about it and I will limit our interaction. Though we're forcefully bonded. We still have the choice of how to proceed with it. So the choice is yours."
'That betters.' Kira gave her a secret thumbs up.
'Why do you insist that she be in the group?'
Where is the fun? We battle with our lives on the brink of death almost every day. The joy of surviving will only be shared with the people close to us and around us. And this may give hope, as well as subdue all the bad mories we may have.'
Hearing Kira's monologue, Justin exhaled slowly and looked at her in a new light.
'Are you moved by words?' Kira giggled.
'Go away!' He snapped.
'Really, I move the tyrant king with my word.' Kira was laughing hysterically as tried to maintain a perfect smile outside.
"Are you two talking through the soul-link?" Susan asked with a puzzle.
Hmm!
Kira turned to Susan and chuckled.
"Yes…. Isn't it nice?"
Seeing the radiant smile on Kira's face. She was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand how the two got by so smoothly after eting for just a couple of days.
"You two are weird." She said seriously.
Hahaha
"Weird is the best thing that has happened to us so far. Isn't it right, your highness?"
"Don't involve in your little ga." Justin waved his hand as he stood to leave.
Watching Justin walking to the icy window, gave Susan a lancholy feeling.
"Do you feel it?" Kira whispered.
Susan looked at Kira and nodded. "What's going on with him?"
"He's carrying too much burden. You won't understand right now. But when the bond between you got stronger. You feel it." Kira said seriously as all the smiles on her had disappeared.
"Don't ask why. Because I don't know. But he was chosen for whatever reason known to the people in the dark."
"Chosen!?" Susan's eyes widened. "I-Is there sothing like that."
"Yes." Kira nodded. "Do you know why I'm telling you all you do this?"
"No" Susan shook her head.
"I want you to join . I alone can't support him."
"Have you really fallen for him?"
"What do you think?"
"You're crazy."
"Likewise you" Kira chuckled. "If you're not crazy in this crazy world. You will die soon. So you need craziness to survive in this crazy world."
"Why do you sound like him?" Susan chuckled.
"Really…" Kira's eyes brightened.
'Do you hear that? She said I sound like you.' Kira said to Justin.
'Of course, you must sound like . What do you expect?' Justin responded proudly.
Susan looked at the pure happiness in Kira's eyes and she was envious. She couldn't rember the last ti she was this happy.
'I should give it a try. Yes, a single try is enough. Being all alone is too boring when I don't even know when I'll die. Let's try it out.'
"Have you made your decision?" Kira asked as a gorgeous smile appeared on beautiful red lips. `
