As Katherine had an aunt here in the capital, she decided to stay a few more days. As for Seraphine, she had already cut a lot of days from work and to urgently go back thus— regardless of how reluctant she was regarding it.
At the end, she decided to leave it all up to fate.
Planning on leaving tomorrow, Seraphine was done packing up and brought a few souvenirs for her younger sister. With all that settled, Seraphine was ready for the trip back home.
Sent by Katherine today to buy a few desserts, she entered a bakery. Once done buying the desserts, she was about to leave the place when a familiar figure fell into her line of sight.
'Seraphine' stepped out of the restaurant opposite to the bakery with a couple
Pondering about these matters were useless at this instant. Seraphine always believed there was problems with how her brain was circuited.But now, she was well aware that compared to this cult in front of her, she was very much normal and glad for it.When the tip of that man's sword was able to touch Seraphine, Seraphine instantly dodged that attack while her sword made its over to the man standing beside her.As for that man who tried to attack her, his blade pierced the man standing in front of the window. Before the move was filled with vigor, he wasn't able to stop himself in time.At that, they were thrown in confusion, and Seraphine took this as an opportunity to escape from this place through the window.Although the distance was low, she was currently injured, and because of this, the jump caused her to land on all fours. Her palms scraped against the grass,
"The guards around Lady Seraphine Vougeious were all killed," Kayden stated.This 'Seraphine' was actually better than Seraphine thought. She actually killed all those guards by herself. Just thinking about how powerful she could potentially be made her scalp numb, and she shuddered.This gave her more reasons as to why she couldn't expose her identity. This situation was too dangerous, and she didn't want to regret by making reckless decisions— not that she had much choices to make with the death almost arriving at her door.Moreover, the difference between her and 'Seraphine' was great. Even if others thought that the changes created in her was due to puberty, those close to her wouldn't think so.How could Kayden who grew close to her not notice the change in behaviour— her becoming a completely different person? Her every little habits were known to him.Kayden wa
How ridiculously unbelievable was it that she was called to Kayden's office?Exactly, instead of being sent to the dungeons, the execution field, or be exiled, she was actually called to the office of that Kayden.Seraphine was baffled, not understanding how to process this situation. One should understand that visiting the office of the Commander is no simple matter.At first, she thought someone was pulling her leg and didn't know what conclusion to draw from this. She began to think of all the possible ideas inside her mind.But before she could reach a conjecture that made sense, she already arrived in front of his office, and the Knight who guided her knocked door in front of her."Commander Clementis, Sir Blair is here."Once the order was given, the door in front of her was pushed open, and Seraphine stepped into the room. As the door behind her
Seraphine sat on the couch in Kayden's office, watching the man work. She wasn't particularly bored as various matters went through her mind.Honestly, she was being treated too generously by Kayden. This could be due to the fact that he recognized her.But then, she brushed that thought away, believing it to be too far-fetched.This was because the her right now was too different from the Seraphine Kayden once used to know.Even Seraphine sometimes doubted she was actually a Vougeious once, judging from her state.Seraphine right now didn't even feel like a woman, let alone a noble lady. Even if Seraphine acted wildly, she still had the mannerisms of a noble lady.Probably if she continued with this act, one of these days, she would start doubting her own gender and consider herself to be a true man.Seraphine sighed at that though
One of the thing Seraphine was extremely sensitive to was hate, and she could feel it being directed towards her, mostly by the males, while she followed Kayden the entire day.Maybe because she had been with Kayden, the intensity was lowered, and the most they did was only glower at her. Without his presence, she would most likely be tortured by them physically.Just the thought of that was enough to make her shudder.The fact that she was patronized by others for the crime of harassing her own body would be funny to her if her life wasn't on the line.At least, praises of 'Seraphine' didn't reach back home or else she would be worried about a place to go back to. Of course, this didn't imply she was safe from the clutches of this fervent fanboys.They could totally follow her back home, and they had the backing of money.A sigh escaped from Se
Seraphine did feel extremely restless when she was kept beside Kayden, not doing anything. Therefore, pushing down her fear, she decided to question the man when she was taken with him for inspection."Commander Clementis, I appreciate the energy you are putting in this, but do you know how long will it be taking for the charges to be cleared?"Seraphine truthfully didn't understand what the man was looking for or was trying to prove. He knows in his heart, Seraphine had been falsely accused yet he is continuing with this.Of course, Seraphine knows this is for the greater plans he is attempting to come up with. But at this point, Seraphine was starting to get curious on what that is.No matter how hard she tried, she wasn't able to get her mind off it. That's why, she decided to bite the bullet and break off whatever was between Kayden and her.Kayden remained silent. This
"You're refusing?" The man seemed to be pretty taken aback."You're not going to tell me that I am obliged to follow through, Commander Clementis," Seraphine pointed out.She almost groaned at the thought of those strenuous exercise that came with strict routines and a frightening teacher. This is not what she wanted; she wanted real task.However, she doubted she would have the privilege to that for a long time."No," he curtly answered.Noticing his change of mood, Seraphine wondered whether or not his pride had been hurt by how quick she was to refuse. Then again, Kayden was far from seeming that petty.Catching up to the man and standing beside him, Seraphine chimed, "I would prefer to be beside you at all times without working. It would make it easier for me to admire you."°°°
Seraphine stared at the shabby couch in the room. The furniture didn't look like it would provide comfort to Seraphine, and she was contemplating whether to rest on it or the bed.Of course, matters would have been better if Kayden was considerate enough to book another room for her. However, it was him paying, not her, so she didn't have much space for complaints."It's fine. You can manage," Seraphine mumbled before going over to the couch. At the end, although the couch was small, at least it seemed softer than the floor.The entire trip caused the muscles in her body to ache, and hitting the couch, she was ready to fall asleep with a smile on her face when her name was called."Blair."Instantly, on reflex, she straightened up and sat on the couch. Her eyes fell on Kayden who now stepped out of the shower, and his chest was fully on display.For a second
