Hael and I stared at each other for a mont
"It’s because you look rattled." He smiled, "I heard young ladies liked this." He looked into my eyes, "Does this not calm you down?"
...
No, I shook my head
I can’t stop thinking about it. I was imdiately overco by a wave of unease that twisted my stomach into knots. I shook my head, as if trying to dispel the images that danced behind my closed eyelids.
My hands began to tremble uncontrollably as the weight of what I had done settled heavily upon my shoulders. How could I live with myself knowing that I had taken a life, no matter the circumstances?
With a shaky breath, I wrapped my arms around myself, seeking solace in the comfort of my own embrace.
I can’t believe I killed a person
>>Hael
I watched her keenly. The mont she started to rember what happened her body started shaking.
I’ve known her for years, but I have never seen her this unnerved.
Why was she shaking? Was that sothing frightening? It was just a dead man. What’s there to be so scared of? It wasn’t even a noble. No one’s going to ask her about it and I did a perfect job of cleaning up.
It didn’t sit well with . I placed my hands on her knees
"What are you worried about? I took care of it." I said
She raised her head and looked at .
!!!
Tears were taunting the corners of her eyes.
"Killing soone isn’t normal Hael." She raised her hands. They were trembling, "It’s sothing that shouldn’t happen."
Is that so? Killing isn’t normal... Hmmm,
....
"You have holy power." I said, "You could have healed and saved the man yourself."
Her eyes went wide, "What?" She looked at with her pupils shaking, "I- what?"
"I’m sure you already know this. Holy Power works better than magic for healing."
"Why-," Tears slid down her cheeks, "You could have told ." Her skin went paler
"You already know though. You have holy power. And who doesn’t know holy powers can heal?"
She fell into further despair, "No-I," She dropped her head on her lap and grabbed her head.
How strange. Was she so panicked it didn’t even cross her mind? Well, it’s not like she had used her power before, so I guess a mistake like that can happen.
"You don’t need to despair over it." I tapped her head softly with my index finger, "I doubt you could have used your power anyway." She raised her head to look at but she looked at with a glare, "You need to learn to use your power before you use it." She kept glaring at and that didn’t sit well with .
I wiped a tear that jumped from her eyes, "What happened, happened, I’ll teach you how to use your power. So, don’t worry,"
Her gaze softened a little.
What am I even supposed to say at a ti like this? "Tell ," I asked, "What is it that you’re most worried about?" I got up and took my place on the bed beside her.
She frowned, "I killed," She started and imdiately stopped. So she’s hung up on that.
"You don’t have to worry." I said, "It was self defense."
She shook her head at , "But it wasn’t. He wasn’t targeting ."
"Killing while saving soone still counts as self defense. And you actually did a good thing, getting rid of trash like him." I smiled, "He just would have made Serena’s lift more difficult."
"We could have done sothing about it." She was still confused, "Anything! We could have found a solution after we saved him. We could have handed him over to the knights or sothing!"
"We already did sothing." I said, "This was the best solution." I looked at her sternly, "Believe ," I placed my hand on hers that was on the bed, "You didn’t do anything wrong." Her pupils were shaking. Her anxiety hadn’t cald down.
Hmmm
I opened my arms for her, waiting to see how she’ll react. She jumped into , embracing tightly. Her trembling figure stuck to my body
!!!
My smile widened and I wrapped my arms around her.
It seems that Corvina-No, Amber can’t help but rely on . After all, I was the one who saved her from that situation. Now, I hold sothing over her.
I like this feeling
I like how she’s here with . It’s sothing completely different when she left . That feeling of rage seem to disappear at a mont like this
"You don’t need to worry My Lady," I stroked her back, "I’ll make sure nothing happens to you."
>>Amber
Hael’s embrace felt warm which was unexpected. But then again, I was so unnerved I didn’t know what to do or who to rely on. At a ti like this, he was the only support I had.
And ironically, his words calm down because I know he has the blood of a whole mansion on his hands.
"You really think so?" I was asking a dumb question. I just wanted to make myself feel better after that terrible act, "Does that really count as self-defense?"
"Yes," He replied, "I know so," And I buried myself deeper into him. I felt so lost. At one point if I think about it, none of it would have happened if Hael hadn’t given that brownie and that makes mad but on the other end, I can’t bla him for my actions.
I chose to smash that pot on his head. It was my cri yet he cleaned it for .
...
I gripped the back of his shirt. And after cleaning up after , he’s trying to calm down too.
"You have the power." He said, "You are no longer helpless. Why not use it?" He said, "Once you learn how to control it, you’ll be able to deal with situations a lot more easily."
His obsession with power and him giving it to as well. What does it an? Why is he so stuck on power?
I let out a sigh, "I’m tired," I said, majorly because I didn’t want to answer him, and partially because I was tired.
Hael put his hand on my head and then I felt a cooling sensation in my brain.
"Are you using magic on ?" I asked
"Yes," He answered.
"What are you doing?"
"You said you’re tired, I’m going to put you to sleep."
"...Okay,"
>>Hael
I carried her to bed and put the blanket on her, then took my place beside her. I was not tired, but I had a few things on my mind.
That rose that she had in her hand, that was given to her by that knight Ahin.
I watched her sleep.
It seems you want to leave again. For what? Another man? He seems to fancy you as well.
I despise that thought. You are mine, aren’t you? I belong to you, so why would you choose another man?
Softly, I grabbed a lock of her hair.
You can’t leave after doing that with . You shouldn’t have slept with if you had plans of leaving out of your life.
I brought the lock of her hair lower to my face.
Sex had been nothing more for than a ans for survival. But with her, it was different.
There was sothing there that I never got to experience again.
There is sothing there, whenever she is close to and it’s only there with her.
I will not allow you to run away from again.
Never
I opened my fingers and let the hair fall down as I glanced at her nape. Then I smiled.
Well, it’s not like you can escape anymore, My dear lovely, lady.

>>Amber
"You’re really taking back?" I looked at Hael in confusion. When I woke up in the morning, I was alone in bed. But I did find him in his lab and told him I wanted to go ho.
"Why? You want to walk back?" He asked as offered his hand to .
I didn’t think he would agree so easily. He’s my assigned trainer and from yesterday’s talk, I could tell he wanted to learn to use my powers.
"No," I said, "It’s not that," I looked away but gave my hand to him, "I just thought you’d be strict about learning to use my powers."
"I’m sure you’ll want to learn yourself now," He replied, "After all, you don’t want what happened yesterday to happen again."
Just the thought of it sent goosebumps on my body and a violent shiver down my spine
I gulped
"No," I let out a ek reply
A teleportation circle appeared under us, conjuring the magic in the air and fluttering our hair and clothes.
"You can do what you want at your house, you’ll be coming back to anyway." And then the light flashed.
We arrived right outside our cafe. As the teleportation magic faded, I let go of Hael’s hand
"You can rest for a few days, I’ll co pick you up when you feel better." He said, "Or you could simply call ,"
"Call you?" I knitted my brows together at his statent.
"Call my na," He said, "And I’ll co to you."
I blinked at him. I did this before and he ca to , but at that ti I knew he was there. Back at the palace. But how would he know now?
"How would you know I’m calling you?" I asked and he smirked.
"Oh, trust , I’ll know,"
"How!?!" I asked. Even if he’s the Master, it’s impossible to know.
