I Will Protect You with My Life

"Well, well, well. I know you are up to something whenever Master isn't around. You surely love to play a dangerous game whenever he isn't here to protect you," Aoi said as he looked around the living room of the penthouse and then shook his head while Ririna tried to close the door of the bedroom behind her silently so Skyler wouldn't wake up.

"Are you going to stop me?" Ririna asked with her eyes slightly squinted to Aoi.

It had been years since the last time they worked together. Aoi was the closest one on her age but a bit older than her when she started her training to become Eli's private assassin. At his young age of fifteen, Aoi was one of the best on Eli's team. Although no one knew his real name and identity, his reputation was known in the Underworld.

"I don't want to babysit you again," Aoi said. When Ririna was younger, he was always assigned to look after her whenever the mission was too dangerous for the two of them. They stayed side by side in accompanying silence.
