Girl in Love (3)

"He gently smiled at her, stroking her back whenever she cried that she missed her parents. All those gentles smiles used to be mine. But he actually dared to frown at me when I said she's not part of our family yet!" She covered her ears.

Tears fell from her eyes as she continued, "he started ignoring me as she took all of his attention. Instead, he always made the excuse that I was too young to understand. That a prince of my own would come to me someday."

The air pressure quickly rose as another sudden strong breeze appeared in the room. She was just like me in early elementary school, struggling to control her powers with the vast amount of mana she possessed once a spell activated. Although, I couldn't remember being as bad as her where the wind was getting strong as a whip.

I flew off the bed, grabbing onto the clothes on the mattress from getting blasted onto the wall behind me. She appeared more and more upset as she went over her memories of her brother starting to focus more on his partner. The entire room shook as my fingers unclasped, making me slam against the wall.

She stopped when she noticed me coughing blood from the impact. A large crater was created from the slam as my body slid down onto the floor. My body became briefly paralyzed as she looked at me in horror.

"I'm sorry. I really am. I think I should leave," she vanished into thin air.

Jules opened the door after she left. His eyes widened as he had originally come to check the source that created the loud sound that rang inside the entire mansion. All the decorations on the wall crashed down onto the floor. Some frames shattered while the cabinet was toppled, facing the ceiling sideways.

My dress was ruined as my hands cupped my own blood from my coughs. He rushed towards me, checking my injuries. It was likely I had a few broken bones this time. Most of that wind was targeted towards me. I couldn't raise my head, feeling like a broken doll.

"You're going to be okay Rika. Luke is going to kill me if you're not," Jules appeared worried.

"So don't close your eyes Rika," his voice increasingly became more concerned.

Jules stiffened at the sounds of footsteps heading towards the room. It was likely Luke, who came to check up on me. Jules switched his position to kneel down in front of me.

"I took care of most of the guests," Luke opened the door at the worst timing.

"What happened?" He coldly asked his cousin.

Luke instantly noticed the crater I was in front of in addition to the decorations that slipped into my lap that Jules didn't get rid of yet. He lightly pushed Jules out of the way to take a closer look at my injuries. Jules stayed silent as he began to clean the floor, full of dangerous shards of glass and other pointy objects.

Not even ten minutes had passed since he left the infirmary after he took care of my injured ankle. No wonder that fairy needed someone to look over her. She unintentionally created trouble everywhere she went!

Luke sighed in relief as he discovered most of my injuries came from the crash. He used his mana to conduct heal as I felt something akin to warm honey repairing most of my bones. He finally stopped using his mana when he began to slightly tether from spending too at once. I sent some strength to my head, finally able to raise my head to my surprise.

I was able to move again from Luke's sacrifice. I got up to stand with Luke's support, not letting him go like he was my lifeline. When I looked in the mirror, we both looked extremely exhausted to the point like we haven't slept for a month.

"That guest. He's targeted by someone," I repeated.

"I tried to warn him," I told them.

This time, both Luke and Jules believed my words. There would be no way I would injure myself by summoning a tornado into the room. It wasn't a confession but was a warning to everyone around him.

She was incredibly unstable as her emotions fluctuate every minute. I didn't want to imagine what would happen if he talked to another girl, creating another chaotic scene. Jules chanted a spell to clean my dress, getting rid of all the blood stains. Making sure I was in his sight, Luke offered me his arm as he helped me walk to the banquet hall.

I froze when I faced the girl's brother right when I entered the hall, it was like he was searching for me. I didn't want to be even a centimetre close to him, afraid that the girl would slam me into another wall. Like I predicted, she hid behind a corridor, watching us interact.

This time, she appeared like she had a tighter control on her emotions. She gritted her teeth as her brother flushed pink. And it wasn't like I could just ignore him as one of the sub hosts of this event.

My jaw almost dropped as he opened his mouth to say the most atrocious thing, "Thank you for your confession. You're actually my ideal type as I like younger girls with a delicate face and features like yours."
