Now I'm in the room. Sitting sweetly accompanied by a cup of hot tea on the table.
The person sitting to my right is Elder Nobi himself. Now he was engrossed in chatting with the other important person sitting next to him.
Meanwhile, on my left is Hendrick, Hans' older brother. He turned to me, "hi," he greeted warmly in an almost whispering voice.
Suddenly my heart beats fast, "hello," I said glancing at him.
Hendrick smiled shyly. He's a good person. Unlike his brother, Hans. Even though Hendrick has the same blood as Hans, his nature has turned 180 degrees with his younger brother.
"I'm not a hybrid," he whispered again.
My head nodded doubtfully, "Then why is he like that?" Hendrick understood the meaning of my question.
He sighed, both sides of his lips dropping. "I don't know, I don't know. Because in my family's werewolf bloodline, we've all never had hybrid blood,” Hendrick lo
“The Harfi family are to blame!Because they've put on an event with the entire population of Willis on board which also includes great danger for all of us present there!”one of the old men refuted the opinion of another on the question of the chairperson of the meeting about who was to be held responsible and also to blame for this incident.Because according to them, Hans wouldn't have done that if no one had set him on fire.And the old man blamed my family!But my courage didn't show up this time.I only open my mouth if someone asks their opinion or gives them a question.And have not dared to refute the opinion that I think is wrong.“Mr Kyle!Keep your tone of voice.Here meetings get good results, not endless debates."A middle-aged woman rebuked the old man carefully.Mr. Kyle couldn't accept being rebuked by a woman younger than him, “Huh!You should be the one talking polite
On the way home, I looked out the window of the train.Just like what I did on my way to Elder Nobi's house.Ever since the carriage had moved a bit away from Elder Nobi's house, Trudy hadn't said anything to me at all.He just stood there with his head still down.Even so, I could tell that he was holding back the question that was running through his head.I snorted then said without looking at my maidservant, “If you have something to say, just say it.Don't hide it, it's not good."Trudy was taken aback by my words.Then he felt guilty and started to open his mouth, "I'm sorry miss, I was just surprised by the request from Mrs. Peter about visiting the house.In fact, tomorrow morning the house must be vacated and tonight Miss will move to the Harfi family's house in remote Willis district."Finally Trudy spoke to me what was going through her head, but in the same manner.I lowered my head and didn't dare to l
I slowly opened my eyes and blinked at the sight of the unfamiliar ceiling.But somehow I don't feel any anxiety or unease about this.The next second I still remember this room with the position still lying on the bed and looking ahead, namely at the ceiling."Where am I?"I muttered then.Then I heard someone open the door squeaking.When I turned my gaze to the person, my eyes widened when I saw someone near the door.Just like me, he was surprised to see the girl he loved so much had woken up.I didn't feel a single tear falling down my cheek.“Will,” I sighed with a smile starting to grow."Rumi," he said as his eyes widened in surprise.Then he walked quickly to me and sat beside me on the bed.We stared into each other's eyes as if we could never be distracted by anything.Will looks at me longingly, and so do I.I can't stand this feeling of l
"What the hell happened, Will?"“I managed to bring your parents home.And now they were receiving treatment from Hans' magic that surrounded them with Royce in the next room.But… I can't beat Hans,” Will looked at me sadly.I sighed, "Don't be sad.Maybe next time you can beat him.Then, what about Reyna?You managed to bring him home too right?”This time Will shook his head slowly, “Sorry, Rumi.Royce and I failed to persuade your older sister to come home.”“What do you mean by persuading?”my eyes widen in surprise.“He has chosen Hans for the rest of his life and abandoned you, the family who have always loved him.Royce knows that, and now he understands what Reyna wants, and Royce has made Reyna his choice no matter what.”Will explained with great care and pressure.I snorted, looked the other way and blinked.“Okay,
Kimi turned to me, "I've been telling Trudy to wake you up and meet Sis Sala and Sis Ruth, your parents.But he said you couldn't be bothered in your room because he heard a young man's voice.That is him!”this girl emphasized the last sentence while pointing at Will.Yet his expression remained the same, cold and flat. Will rolled his eyes, then stepped toward me quickly."I'm going to go see Royce first," he whispered against the back of my neck.His breath made the fine hairs around him stand up with goosebumps. I nodded slowly looking into Will's eyes, he smiled then walked out the bedroom door and disappeared from my sight. Now it's just me and Kimi in this room, "he's a wizard and he's afraid of me," said the girl who was now sitting on the bed. Meanwhile, I chose to sit on a chair near the window of a large room."Because you're a knight and have that magic-blocking sword?" Kimi glanced at me, she nod
The night has come.The knights and some of the great healers had come to Father's house.There were seven of them, four knights plus three healers.They all rode horses each to come to the house.Therefore, the front yard of the house is full of their horses.My brother, Royce, immediately greeted them when they arrived at the front gate of the house.Including Kimi, because she is also a descendant of knights, she is easily and warmly accepted and familiar with these people.Meanwhile, I stayed in the front room and just sat watching.Even though the people at home were busy preparing this and that, I wasn't allowed to help at all, nor was I allowed to just help lift a chair.&
Instantly the crying became more intense and broke the silence that had occurred for a moment.I hugged the middle-aged woman in front of me so tightly and longingly."Mom... I'm sorry ma'am..." I continued to babble apologizing to her.At that moment his embrace tightened and then he said to me, "You're not wrong, son.Mother's fault for not paying attention and understanding your feelings.I promise," the woman held her sentence and then slightly distanced me from her."From today onwards, there will be no more tradition of getting married at 20. Forever, you and Reyna can freely marry the person you love and at any age."A smile full of love tugged on his lips.But when he mentioned my sister's name, he looked down sadly.“Mother, thank you for not forcing me to always follow your will.But I also don't want to see Mother sad because of Reyna.I'm sure he'll be fine and will come ba
The sun was already in the middle of the earth, the heat was very intense and made my body drenched in sweat because of an hour sitting in a chair in the backyard of the house that was not hindered by anything.I'm still waiting to hear from Will.Because since an hour ago, after Dad and my brother came back, they didn't say anything about Will and always ignored my questions about the boy.My hunch was that there was something odd about them.They said, Father and Royce went to the center of the Willis district to meet Elder Nobi.And all they talked about was the fate of Mother's house in Willis being torn down.And the victims involved.Then they didn't talk anymore.Because after that, we all talked about our longing and feelings of resignation and letting Reyna leave this family.Then, we all threw jokes and jokes at each other accompanied by smiles and cheerful laughter from all of us.
(Author's POV)When everyone had left the round table room, Will and Rumi were still silent with their arms around each other."Why are we meeting at a time like this?"Rumi suddenly opened his mouth and asked something that had been bothering him lately."I don't know... maybe it's because we have each other's privileges, that's why fate brought us together now," answered the yellow-haired youth gently.“Hm… you're right.After all… if we had met a few years back, but I was still not of the legal age for marriage, I would have insistedon still being married to you.”"Ha ha ha.You are... how can I marry a little girl, "Will replied then while the index finger of his right hand poked Rumi's nose.“Oh… so you don't want to marry me?”Rumi's eyes looked sharply at her future husband, s
My eyes widened knowing that my guess was correct. Then at that moment I saw the state of Kayra, who was across the table on the right. He didn't show any reaction. The girl was just silent, looking down, she didn't open her mouth at all. I became worried seeing her condition like a person who has no hope of living anymore.Then I quickly turned my attention back to Royce, “a-….”Just about to speak, Mother already cut off my intention. He interrupted me who wanted to say too."Who is Mira? What have you done that you can't forget when you're with your family?” His voice was so low, but it pierced his chest.For a moment I looked at Mother, then I turned again to my sister.He looked gloomy, the joy I used to see was now experiencing a blackout. There was no passion for spirit anymore from the aura radiated from Royce's body."She's just an ordinary magical
"Why did they come home?"suddenly my mind remembered the order from Kimi to the maids."So that they can adapt to their new appearance, and that starts from where they come from."“Are they okay, when they change form?Isn't there something strange about them?Or… actually they have prepared themselves because at any moment they will be like this?”"Are you stupid, or what?So many questions from your mouth."Kimi's harsh words made me furious, "if you don't want to answer, then there's no need to insult like that!"Suddenly both of Will's hands wrapped around me, "Yes.Patience..." he said softly while rubbing his shoulder.Even so, my eyes didn't change in staring intently at Kimi."I didn't insult you, Rumi.I'm just asking your brain that always wants to know that," Kimi said then with
I still can't understand the reason behind Kayra hating me.“Kay, is that the only excuse you have?Is it true, nothing else?”along the way the thought kept replaying in my mind.I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes.When I opened it, the trip was over and we had arrived at the door of the house.Mother turned to me, "You are the first to open the door, Rumi."I frowned at my mother's words.I don't know why I hesitate to do it.But ignoring those doubts, I ventured to be the first to enter the house after a night of unwelcome events.My head nodded once in response to Mother's words, then my legs slowly moved forward.While the others, they gave me the way and watched me who was still walking.Arriving at the door, my throat unconsciously swallowed his saliva.Then slowly I opened the door of the house by p
"Thank you, I will wait for a reply from him."Kayra looked so happy when I teased her as if to match her with Royce.But I just replied with a smile that implied I agree and disagree with Kay's assumption.“Oh yeah, Kay… I want to ask you something.Eum... while Kimi is quite a distance away from us and... my sister and mother are having a conversation, there's an important matter that I want you to answer honestly,” my voice choked at the last word as I turned to Kay who was tall. not far from me.The straight-haired girl returned my gaze, “what is that?Just so you know, I always tell the truth in my life.”"Oh?!Is that true ...?"I was surprised to hear his sudden confession, in my heart I thought as I turned my face slowly to another direction, "Could it be that his words that lead to hatred for me... are true?""What
"Then tell me now a way so that I can immediately connect with this sword," I retorted in annoyance.But Kimi chimed in with her expression still flat, "I'm tired of saying it, meet the right person instead of asking me."“Yeah I mean, who is that person?I'm also tired of seeing that annoying look of yours, Kimi!”my emotions started to overflow."Rummy!"Suddenly a familiar voice rebuked me and Royce.We all gasped at the sound, then looked at each other in surprise."It's not proper for a princess to say that!apologize to your aunt, Rumi!”The person's voice was heard again, but this time it sounded closer.Then me, Royce, Kay, and Kimi turned together at the source of the voice.How surprised I was when I saw that walking over was the person I missed the most, “Mom&hell
"Foreigners?Do you still like people visiting the village after what happened?”I asked with a furrowed brow."I don't know either, th
“Sir… if you are the one who can do it, then… I beg with all my soul and body, please save the lives of my parents.”I whined politely while lowering my head."You don't have to be like that, Rumi.After all, you are already my own children.Likewise with your father and mother, they are like brothers to me.""Thank you sir ...."“Alright, let's not waste any more time.I will immediately perform the ritual,” said Mr. Emen, then turned towards the house.Just as he was about to move his right foot to start walking, he suddenly stopped and spoke without turning his head, “Oh, yes!Don't come into the house until I'm done and come out to tell.""But Master, what about the servants who are in the house?"I asked worriedly.&nb
"Is it over, the play?"Kimi said sarcastically at me and the handsome young man standing next to me.Will immediately grabbed my hand and we turned to look at the two girls who had been watching before they were amused by our behavior by looking in another corner."Yes," I replied innocently with a big smile.Kimi pursed her lips even more, "that sucks...!"he muttered then as he turned his face to the right with his arms crossed over his chest.Will and I exchanged glances, then we chuckled together.Meanwhile, Kayra, seeing the intimacy between me and this young witch, she seemed happy too.Not like Kimi who was annoyed with what she was witnessing right now.“Hahh ...” Kay sighed, “if I were like them too, it would be fun for my life.You don't have to always struggle with spears and strange powers to chase after thos
