It looked like Haruka was having a hard time thinking about her words. So Lila traced her hands on his cheeks, "What will it take for you to listen?" Lila knew that her safety was the most important thing to him; otherwise, he wouldn"t have sacrificed so much for her sake. But Lila couldn"t take her words back.When Lila learned that Zane was the main cause of everything that"s happened to her and Haruka, she wanted to kill him. While hanyou"s nature is to cause bloodshed and havoc, it was the first for her, the desire to harm another person. To see them lying down, dead and unbreathing. That man, it"s because of him that Haruka is in so much pain. She wondered what Haruka would do if he knew. The reason all those incidents happened, even with her brother... If Haruka knew it was Zane who caused everything, what would he do?
No, she knew exactly what he would do, and that"s why she hasn"t said anything about it. If she were to tell him, then things could truly end up as a disaster. Haruka already told her that he dislikes anything related to hanyou"s. If he were to learn of this, he would confront Zane and use his hanyou powers. Lila doesn"t want that to happen. Haruka does not have to stain his hands anymore when she could do it. This entire time, he"s done so much for her. He"s sacrificed a lot and stayed by Zane"s side to protect her.
He followed all of Zane"s orders, no matter how unreasonable they were. He did everything he could do to keep her safe, even if it meant harming himself. Everybody thinks Haruka is a bad person because of all those things he did. But if Zane didn"t give him those orders, Lila knew Haruka wouldn"t think of it. The young boy in her memories is faint, but he wore such a bright smile. That young boy is not the type of person who would commit such atrocious acts without...
Her thoughts broke off when she felt Haruka"s hand under her dress, his cool hand on her stomach. One hand made it"s way to her thighs, "Moron, what are you doing?"
Weren"t they finished already?
"You looked serious, I"m just breaking the tension."
"By doing this? Quit it, people are down there," one of the main reasons why she let him earlier was because Lila knew n.o.body was around. But now? People were gathering below.
"Wife…"
Geez! Why does he do this? Lila looked around and sighed. Maybe it is okay for a bit?
Haruka sighed, "You win. But, still, drop by and see me, alright? I"d hate to be apart from you again. Thinking about it I"d probably die."
"You"d die, huh? Then I"d do the same, but if I"m the one who goes first, I"ll be waiting for you in Sanzuka river."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Haruka doesn"t have time to respond since they hear a clattering sound. Lila glanced over and saw a girl with mid-length curly hair wearing a caramel-colored striped jumper and pleated skirt. Ah, gee they were seen. "I apologize about this but . ."
"You"re really not dead…"
"Haru, I can explain.. I…" Before the girl could get words anymore out, Lila spotted it. On a nearby rooftop, there were some archers there. Ah..?
...
"Your really bleeding. What do I do? Ah maybe if I tear my dress," Lila panicked as she saw the wound on Kiryu"s shoulder grow larger. She didn"t think Kiryu would appear out of nowhere like that. He reacted quickly and pushed both her and the girl away.
"Don"t, it"s from the company, isn"t it?" Haruka stopped her.
Lila rolled her eyes, "Haruka, do you really think I care about the dress when Kiryu is hurt?"
She doesn"t hesitate to tear the edge off as she quickly wrapped the white material around Kiryu"s shoulder. "Clumsy knot."
Lila hits his chest, "Idiot. Moron. Where"s your spear? You could have easily deflected that."
"Yeah. I let Ichinose borrow it on the way here; he chased after the other one." Kiryu"s gaze flickered to the girl behind Haruka, "Sakas.h.i.+ta Ryoko, is it? Under HYOU4"s jurisdiction and Holy knights concern, you"ll have to be put under protection for a while."
Eh? But, Soichiro was just here, he like that. But why this woman? "Because of Yotakae?"
"Yeah. That child, no your son has a rare power that Lucifer"s after. Long story short, Sakas.h.i.+ta remain with Karas.h.i.+ma."
Son?!!! At that comment, Kiryu scratched his face, "Uh, you didn"t tell her yet?"
Son… Does Haruka have a child?!!! Lila couldn"t register these words at all. Haruka is still young, he"s only nineteen, and this girl appears to be a similar age. While her mother gave birth at a young age… This still made her feel uneasy. What is with this sudden abrupt news?
At that comment, the girl named Ryoko frantically bowed, "Please, please don"t misunderstand! It"s not like what your thinking, we were both set up…. But my body was too weak to abort the child…"
"Lady Tears.h.i.+ma Lila," Kiryu said bowing down. "Please allow this; you do not have to worry. Nothing will go wrong, believe in your feelings, and the sincerity of other people."
"That"s true. Very well, it"s rare for you to call me by my full t.i.tle so I"ll grant your request. As well as add one of my own. Austin Kiryu you must remain by my side until when I finally release you." At that Kiryus"s eyes went wide, her gaze softened. "I realized it before. No matter how many people I meet, I"d rather have Kiryu beside me in the end."
"If that"s your order, then I can hardly decline."
Feeling Haruka grab hold of her arm pulling her to her feet, she glanced up and saw an annoyed expression on his face, "Come to think of it. I smelled a faint trace of another man"s scent on you."
Upon recalling what happened the other day her face goes red, which didn"t go unnoticed by Haruka.
"I was getting rid of her hiccups," it was a reasonably innocent statement from Kiryu. But Haruka was not having it.
Haruka"s eyes twitched in annoyance. "Don"t do it like that," Haruka trails of realizing something, "Sorry about the noise Ryoko. Are you feeling alright?"
"I"m fine."
Haruka being kind to another girl. He"s always been a nice person, but this is the first time she"s seen him use such a soft and tender tone. Then again, if she thinks about it. Haruka did tell her before that he dated another girl in the past. But that girl ended up getting raped. This must be the girl. According to her investigation, Zane was the one who set up that incidence back then. If so, this girl survived because Zane planned it...
Is it because he has a child with her? Haruka did tell her before that he wanted a family. Lila felt very uneasy…
…
Lila kind of figured that Sakas.h.i.+ta Ryoko was talented to be Haruka"s former partner. But she didn"t think that the girl excelled in all the arts. She fixed her dress pretty quickly too, rather it"s a lot prettier than before.
"Thanks." Although she"s still feeling awkward about this thing, this girl is as innocent; you can"t really hate her. Besides, Lila always trusted her judgment of people. This woman isn"t bad, unlike Aizawa Mei who gave her bad vibes from the start. This person is different.
"Is there something on my face?" Lila asked. The entire time the girl was fixing her dress, Lila noticed her staring.
"N---no! I just think you"re really pretty! I thought so before, but in real life, you can really see it. The pictures pale in comparison. Haru really does go for pretty faces." Ryoko trails off, "Uwaah, that sounds really rude. Sorry."
Yeah, you really can"t hate or even feel jealous towards this girl. Lila shook her head, "No, no, I should be apologizing. For getting jealous just now. I"m just not used to seeing Haruka speak fondly with another girl." Even amongst his female companions, Haruka has never treated them with kindness before.
"But. . the reason why Haru and I became so close was because of you."
Lila blinks in confusion, "Me?"
Ryoko nodded, "Yes. You see, although we were sat beside each other. Originally we didn"t speak with each other. Haru was tough to approach then, and although I knew he wasn"t a scary person, it was difficult for a person like me to approach him. However, the first time I did, I found him singing in the courtyard, singing one of your songs."
Her songs? If she recalls it correctly, Haruka met this girl when he was still in that gang..
The girl"s gaze softened, "He was singing it with so much emotion, so I called out to him and asked him why. Then he told me how it belongs to someone important to him. At the start, he didn"t go into too many details, but I became curious about him and visited that spot every day. I listened to all of his stories; all of them had a particular pattern, though. They spoke about the same girl, that person was you."
