"As punishment, I will have you do something in my closed music studio!" He grinned triumphantly.
Malik's whispers in my ear kept ringing. I stepped back and away from him. Immediately, my body shivered. I was scared, and reflexively, my hand reached into my coat pocket, looking for a weapon.
Is lost! I screamed in my heart. My knife is gone. What should I do? Gin is not here. I don't even know what Malik is planning right now.
"You looking for this?" Malik waved my penknife in his hand.
"Malik! How did you–"
Aaaa! Fuck. He took my knife from my pocket when I was off guard.
"Give it back to me!" I shouted.
CASEYEren suddenly entered and looked into the music studio."Oh my, Eren. You're just being annoying!" complained Malik.Eren looked surprised and asked us for an explanation when he saw us sitting together on the sofa bed."What are you doing here?" Eren shouted with a look of panic and suspicion on his face.Eren suddenly growled. He dropped the book he was holding and walked quickly towards Malik with a face full of anger.Eren pulled Malik to his feet and away from me. "Malik, what did you do to her?"I just watched the two of them making a fuss. Malik responded to Eren's rude treatment with a mischievous smile. I know he deliberately wanted to slander."What do you think the two of us are doing here? If I told you, you would want to too. That's right, Casey?"Malik's words really provoked Eren, and he got even angrier. Hah! I could see Eren clenching his fists tightly, and his face was red to the ears.I can't let Malik keep making a fuss. I stood up and tried to calm Eren."Er
CASEYI glared at Gin and ignored him. It seemed he wasn't happy with my plan to bring Raff dinner.I stood in front of Dad's study. According to the twins, Raff is inside. The workspace is close to the library. The hallway in the library area is very quiet and quite dimly lit. Everyone tried to maintain calm in the area.Crack!Suddenly, the door to Dad's office opened just before I even touched it. Immediately, I got goosebumps."This is a little scary," I muttered."Casey, is that you?" Raff's voice came from inside."Oh, yeah, it's me. Are you inside? I came to bring you dinner."Even so, I still didn't dare to step foot into Dad's study. I was still frozen in front of the partially open door, carrying a tray of dinner."Come in!" asked Raff. I heard Raff's voice so small, as if he was far away.After exhaling to get rid of my nervousness, I walked slowly into Dad's study. The floor of the study was covered with a very thick fur carpet. The aroma of citrus and menthol wafts as soo
ERENI arrived on time and stood behind Raff, who was trying to swallow Casey. I put my left arm around Raff's shoulder, causing Raff's body to freeze."What are you trying to do, Raff?" I whispered threateningly. "You going to party without us?"After making sure Raff stopped, whatever his intentions were, I sat on the edge of the table with my legs crossed and without a shirt. I only wore trousers. My shoulder muscles tensed, and my hands clenched together.I noticed Raff starting to untangle the black smoke from Casey's body and walk away with a look full of regret.Casey falls unconscious. I immediately grabbed her waist and hugged her."Should we continue this party?" I quipped while glancing at Raff, who was still silent."Eren, please take Casey back to her room," Raff spoke softly and didn't dare look me in the eyes.I carried Casey's weak and unconscious body."Lately, you've been out of control a lot, Raff."I left Dad's study and left Raff alone there. A few minutes ago, I
GIN"Have you received Brigitta's message?" I stood near the living room window and was alone with Casey.Casey nodded. "Yes, the message was put in the gift box that Mama gave me last night. A dress for a ball."After opening my own gift box, I was shocked to see the contents. A very luxurious and expensive suit and a letter from Davies.Before Brigitta left this morning, I asked for time to talk to her alone without Casey knowing. We met at the cafe where Ensio and I had previously met."Are you angry because I gave Casey an assignment?" asked Brigitta. "Casey grew up in the Bright family. Sooner or later, that day will come. The day she too must become a hunter.""You mean… That's Casey's responsibility? Dance party?" I protested Brigitta's decision and hoped she would change her decision."I made this decision for Casey's life. Sooner or later, she must be able to look after and protect herself. This party was just… A practice. Let's say so. I'm just asking for your help to secure
CASEYThe man took off his strange mask and showed his face before us."Isaac Knox?"Of course, I was shocked when I recognized the face behind the mask.Gin even shook his head and focused his attention. The figure standing before us was indeed Isaac Knox. Not a nobleman who came from the Middle Ages."How come you are here?" I'm so alert. "And why are you wearing a mask and strange clothes?""Oh, this?" Isaac looked down at his clothes. "I just returned from a costume party held by one of the nobles. I didn't have time to change clothes when my parents asked me to come here and greet you on their behalf."I wanted to ask lots of questions, but Gin suddenly stopped me."Sorry if I surprised you," Isaac continued. "I just moved into the house next door. Just so you know, my parents are also part of the Werner Pack. So, I thought I should come and greet you.""What nonsense are you spouting?" Gin hissed in disbelief.I also couldn't believe what I heard.Isaac just shrugged his shoulde
GINEren and I met on one of the empty classroom balconies. Under the balcony, there were several Terrasen Academy students waiting with posters in their hands. I even saw one of the students carrying a large photo of Eren."Wow, they are very aggressive, aren't they? This academy is even more terrifying than having to fight demons." As he looked under the balcony, Eren slipped his hands into his trouser pockets.I just leaned lazily against the wall. Both of my hands were also tucked into my trouser pockets. One of my knees was slightly bent."Tell me, Eren. You're not looking for me without purpose, right?""Well, I was found out!" Eren grinned.I almost didn't hear Eren's words. My mind was still full of Isaac Knox, whom I had been very suspicious of since I first met him."Does Isaac have a relationship with that man?" I asked Eren matter-of-factly.Eren's eyes sharpened. He glanced at me despite trying to show an indifferent attitude. "Who do you mean by that man? As far as I kno
ENSIOI sat right in front of Brigitta. "It seems that guy is still alive!"Brigitta gasped in surprise and looked at me with a look of disbelief."Impossible!" she muttered in a trembling voice."My dear sister, it seems that you are getting weaker. Is the marriage you have done worth all this?""I've killed him, Ensio!" shouted Brigitta. The veins in her neck tightened. She clenched her fist and hit the table.She succeeded in surprising several cafe visitors and turned their attention to us. Brigitta realized her mistake and glanced awkwardly in a random direction."Why do you always tell Gin that that man is still out there, Bri?"
CASEY"Today..." I felt my chest which was pounding violently. So I can't study. I'm also anxious to see Gin's attitude and home atmosphere, which, recently, feels felt."No, it's not just today that Gin looks so restless. He also became more sensitive and possessive towards me.”I tried to remember every moment that had passed in recent times. A memory suddenly struck me, and I immediately got up from the chair.“Well, ever since Isaac walked into our yard!”I put away the textbook I was holding and ran after Gin.In the yard, I didn't see Gin anywhere."Where is he going?"I ran outside the fence.“What bothered Gin about Isaac Knox exactly? Why does he hate Isaac so much? In fact, they don't even know each other, and their first meeting at the academy."I was lucky to still be able to see Gin leave. Just before he disappeared at the fork in the road.Oh, it's so cold. I'm not wearing a coat. I left the house wearing only a black sweater and a short green checkered thigh-high skirt.
