Alia was excited.
After this long, after so many separations and obstacles, they were finally back together.
It was almost like a story out of a novel where the female lead was kidnapped and was threatened to get separated from her love. Only for the hero to co and save her.
'Love…huh…'
Just a few months ago, the very idea of romance and having such affection towards soone never crossed her mind. For her, marriage was a part of one's life, and things like emotions don't have to be involved.
She was told that despite her strength and background, in the end, she would beco soone's life partner and take care of their children and family.
However, her perception of marriage and love changed when she t him.
Richard had several sides to him. Sotis he can be caring as a guardian. Sotis he can be a good friend. Sotis, he treats her as his student, giving her advice and all. And sotis, all she can see in his eyes is the endless love he carries for her.
Alia was recently asked by her cousin how soone can even fall for her. At that ti Alia confidently said,
'It takes a special person to beco my significant other. And Richard…is that special person.'
Today, they were finally going to cross the final boundary between a man and a woman. Alia would give her first ti to Richard and get to know the pleasure of being a woman once again.
However, more than her physical need, Alia inwardly knows that she wants to grow closer to him for so other reason.
…she knows that if she doesn't attack him proactively, Richard might not co at her, at all. He respects her feelings and wants to treasure the relationship they had. However, Alia couldn't have it.
She doesn't want to remain a step behind Lilia.
If one calls it jealousy, then yes, Alia is jealous of Lilia. But she doesn't hate that girl. She has taken care of Richard at those tis when Alia wasn't a part of his life.
Alia can never take Lilia's place, but surely, she can reach a stage parallel to hers if she takes so bold steps.
And this was one of those bold steps.
Wearing a night suit that reached her upper thighs, the girl sat before the dresser to comb her hair.
In the darkness behind her, she saw the figure of a person flickering, making her smile as she said,
"You are early. I guess you were eager after all."
Richard didn't respond; rather he approached her with silent steps.
Alia lowered her eyes to put down the comb as she felt his hands resting over her shoulders…instantly making her frown.
This…isn't Richard.
"I knew it, that you also want ."
Alia instantly jumped from her spot, her left hand already holding her dagger.
"Butcher," She spat his na, her tone suggesting her current mood which was far from pleasant.
The older male stood there with a grin, "Were you waiting for your lover? I heard he returned recently so you must be planning to have a lot of fun tonight, no?"
With his sharp teeth baring out, the boy asked. His eyes were no longer showing sanity and in them, Alia could see sheer madness
'Drugs? Possibly.' For now, she took out a vial from the nearby drawer, before raising her hand; intending to crash the bottle on the container and create a smoke screen. However,
.
"Not so fast, babe." Butcher shot forward at a blinding pace, faster than she could react, gripped her wrist in a deadlock.
Alia plunged the dagger in his ribs, however, Butcher's smirk never faded,
"I like a little violence." His face was disoriented further and his eyes were completely bloodshot.
Alia tried pulling out the dagger to target his eyes, however, the dagger was pulled inside his body, and appeared out of his mouth.
Alia frowned…this was no re skill. His body seed to have morphed into sothing inhumane.
Kevin used his other hand to hold the handle while he licked the venom on the blade, "Hmm~paralyzing poison. Not bad~"
Alia scoffed, pulling her head back before slamming her forehead against Kevin's with a sharp crack. He staggered back, dazed.
Without missing a beat, she spun, her right foot whipping around in a brutal roundhouse kick that struck his face, knocking him sideways. Kevin stumbled, blood dripping from his nose, but Alia didn't let up.
With swift, practiced movents, she pulled a handful of knives from under her table and hurled them at him. Each blade flew with deadly accuracy, piercing his body from head to toe, hitting all his vital points.
Kevin stood there, barely flinching, even as a knife drove deep into his left eye and another punctured his chest right where his heart should be. Yet he didn't move, as if pain ant nothing to him.
Alia heaved a sigh as she stared at the being who swallowed all those knives and puked them out at once from his chest.
He looked completely unaffected.
Alia wrapped her hair in a bun and took a battle stance.
Kevin grinned, "You won't back down without a fight?"
Alia asked, "What do you think?"
Kevin heaved a sigh, "See, love, I don't wanna harm you," Taking a single mont of pause, he added, "You are siding with a man whose life is destined to fall into darkness. Soone who will be standing against humanity and the Gods you worship."
Alia's eyes turned round, "Oh my god, you opened my eyes. I now completely hate Richard."
Her cold expression returned, "Stop yapping since not even God can make believe in you."
"But he is right." Suddenly a third person entered the conversation, making Alia's eyes widened
The being was made out of darkness, its eyes devoid of any emotion and Alia could barely look at his features because of the abyssal darkness it was shrouded in.
The only feature that allowed her to know about its presence was those white eyes. Featureless eyes that stared at Alia.
For a mont, Alia lost her focus staring into those eyes…almost like she would get convinced of whatever nonsense they were spouting.
However, "Say whatever you want." Taking out her battle daggers she faced the two with determination in her eyes.
The shadowed being heaved a sigh, "She is strong."
Soon the strange being disappeared before suddenly, soone burst through the windows and this ti, the intruder brought a smile to her face.
Kevin had only a single mont to react and all he did was to try and flee.
"You think you can run away now?!"
Richard held Butcher's head from behind, his hand burning with a fiery glow.
Kevin snarled as black tentacles grew from his back and stabbed Richard.
"Richard!!" Alia exclaid, however, under her shocked eyes, Richard's whole body was enshrouded in flas, burning the tentacles which Kevin shot at him.
His wounds healed as Richard glanced at Alia and said, "Stay here."
He shot off the floor while holding the bastard in an iron clad grip.
Tearing the room he levitated in mid air before tossing the scumbag and slamming his joined hands onto Kevin's chest.
**BOOOOOOOM**
The deafening blow sent the older one shooting across the campus before he crashed on the ground and continued to roll several tis.
Richard appeared above Kevin, extending his left hand, he released a barrage of flas.
"Haaaaa!!" Kevin extending both of his hands, his tentacles shaping into a shield which the man used to protect himself.
However, Richard's flas were rciless, eating the very darkness which Kevin was blessed with.
Kevin looked at his burning arms and how slowly his skin was turning black.
'No…this can't be!'
Just as he thought that Kevin was going to get killed, soone arrived, "Stop it right there!"
A massive gust sent Richard hurling away, but he sohow stopped himself from crashing against the wall.
He looked at the two older ones and found one of them to be his horoom teacher.
"He-Help! Save !!" Kevin instantly dashed toward the duo and hid behind Max.
Richard returned to his usual form before approaching the duo.
"Richard, stop right there." Lucy warned.
The redhead coldly looked at the lady and asked, "Are you protecting an Ambrobate now?"
Lucy frowned and turned towards the boy hiding behind them.
"Max?" She asked her fellow teacher.
Max has already sensed the dark energy perating from the boy. However,
"We will bring him to the headmaster. You can't harm him anymore."
Richard's eyes darkened, "After what he tried to do, nothing in the world can save him from ."
Max's eyes turned solemn as he warned, "No action will be taken against you, Richard, if you back off now. However, taking another step here ans you are prepared for severe consequences."
Richard snarled, "Did you not hear ? Not even God can save that thing from dying by my hands."
"So be it."
