Chapter 25 - Oh, Rayleigh

Rayleigh's POV

"Young master! Are you sure it was just an accident? Are you really sure?" Marcelle asked, still being persistent.

"Yes I'm sure." I groaned.

"Are you telling the truth?" she narrows her eyes and grabs my arm, stopping me from leaving the mansion.

I sweat a little, but I still kept telling her the lie. Telling someone the truth is not going to help me. I assume Vanessa is already trying to identify the witnesses, which is me, Jadon and Sky. The guys who attacked us can't tell her our identities because they're trapped in a very secure place. And what do I mean by safe, it's one hundred percent safe. No one except guards can enter or leave that place. I'm sure they are also under staff observation. I say these people are experts, but Vanessa has her own ways of avoiding getting caught.

"Yes, I'm telling the truth, Marcelle. So now let me go." I insist.

Marcelle just looked at me and nodded. "OK everything is fine." she sighed in defeat.

Before she leaves, she turns around and pulls me closer to her. "But if I find out you're lying, I'm going to whack you over the head and make those bullies pay!" she stares at me.

I shuddered.

Why the hell does Marcelle keep threatening me? What the hell did I do to make her hate me? I haven't even met the heroine yet!

This time, I couldn't say anything. I just kept quiet and nodded quickly. Marcelle smiles and lets go of me, returning to her flowery, glowing aura.

Scary...

I thought as I watched her walk away, going back to her chores.

As I walked out of the mansion, I was suddenly stopped by someone. His hand is gripping my shoulder tightly. I slowly looked over at the person behind me and saw Warren looking at me with an expression stoic.

"....What?" I asked nervously.

His face suddenly got closer to mine and he spoke softly but in a rough tone. "I just want to say you're pathetic for being such a weak, scared cat. For God's sake, I can't even believe that idiot Marcelle bought your lies." he tells me.

I swallowed hard.

Wait, he knew I was lying!? And he knew about my arm injured!?

"Tch. Weaklings like you are very annoying." Warren clicks his tongue. He then takes something out of his pocket, trying to get something out.

"Here." he hands me an object.

My eyes widened as I identified the object. It's a knife! An effin knife! Just why the hell is he handing me such a dangerous object?

"Uh, why are you giving me this?" I asked, trying to make my voice sound calm.

"Just shut up and take it." he says irritably and thrusts the gun at me. I just stared at him stupidly. Then Warren starts picking up some sharp objects, he picks up a dagger, a gun and other sharp weapons.

"What? Just why the hell are you giving me this!?" I exclaimed as he tried to hand all those weapons over to me.

"Now that I come to think of it, I just realized now that you have such a fragile body. I'm really surprised it took me a while to realize that." he tells me.

"Oh?" I gaped at him.

"Just bring those weapons out and put them to good use. Seriously, you can't even avoid such an injury. If it were me, I can avoid it just fine." Warren says haughtily.

Dude, what the hell are you trying to insinuate?

"Use these weapons against your bullies. If you don't, I'll cut you in half!" the butler threatened.

What!?

I don't even have bullies! And even if I do, I won't use it! I'm not a criminal!

And what is it with them assuming I'm being bullied!?

I took a few steps back, staying away from Warren. "Okay, I will

now." I said, having no choice but to accept the weapons. I'm afraid he might actually cut me in half. "Remember my words, weak brat." he says before I go to my carriage.

Scary. These two are scary.

They are getting scarier every day.

______________

When I arrived at the school, I was greeted by Jadon and Sky. I noticed them wiggling their thumbs, looking away from me. But it looks like they

want to say something. Since the words don't come out of their mouths, I thought they had no intention of talking to me. So I decided to go to the sofa and sat down.

"Rayleigh." Sky spoke suddenly.

I looked at her and arched an eyebrow. So they really have something to say to me.

"Umm, here." she hands me some herbs.

My brows furrowed in confusion and I looked at Sky.

"Also…thanks…" she says awkwardly. I could see some guilt in his eyes.

Jadon stood there beside her, looking in the other direction. all of a sudden he realizes I'm looking at him.

"0-0 what are you looking at?" he looked at me.

"Nothing." I responded quickly and turned to one direction

different.

Suddenly, he approaches me and hands me an instrument. I looked at it and recognized that it was a guitar. It is new and even more beautiful than the previous one. I almost gawked at its beauty. I looked at Jadon, almost in disbelief.

As we made eye contact, Jadon turned in the other direction and let out a fake cough. "Since I destroyed the guitar that day, the four of us asked to buy a new one... Don't kid yourself about it, trash," he says.

I stayed quiet and picked up the guitar. For some reason, Jadon seems bearable today.

"Thanks." I thanked him. Of course I must say thank you, still I have my ways, you know?

I looked at the guitar, I couldn't help but feel mesmerized by its beauty. The guitar shines beautifully like a diamond and is transparent, almost looking like glass.

"... How is your wound?" Jadon asked in a very low tone.

I looked at him with a little surprise, but I still answered.

"It's been fine lately." I said in an indifferent voice.

Jadon is quiet for a while and takes a bottle out of his pocket. He then quickly hands it to me.

"What is that?" I asked when I received the bottle.

"Medicine for the wound..." he replied.

My eyes widened, starting to wonder if I'm dreaming or what. This guy is suddenly acting a little cool. Has he been replaced by a doppleganger?

"I just found it on the ground along the way, you can throw it out if you don't want to." Jadon added quickly.

What? In floor!? As?

Sky suddenly punches Jadon in the head. "Oh, what's that for!?" Jadon glared at her angrily.

"Don't listen to that idiot. He obviously didn't find you on the ground, so take this medicine. It will help heal your wounds quickly and lessen the pain." Heaven tells me.

After that, during the entire training session, the four of them did not bother me. So far, I think this is the first time our practice has become more peaceful and without small talk.
