After presenting the project Henry and I did, Sir Thomas gave a thumbs up and a smile because in the end, it was my work that got to be presented and not Henry's even though he spent nights and days just knowing how the medicinal formula works.

At that moment, I knew that he would be able to understand it in a matter of time, however, ever since that night that Caliere told me of this specific lady's tale, my head started hurting.

Every night I would have crazy hallucinations of some magic that never even existed, as well as, some dark secrets about the Vellitas household when in fact, Henry ran away from there because the Duke was strict.

Then there would be war with the neighboring empire which isn't even true looking at how peaceful the empire was.

Everything made me feel as if there was some fog within my head and I needed to clear it before I completely lost my mind this afternoon, I never expected that Brother Lenon would come into my room.

"Vestia," he paused his eyes narrowed and I could see those shivering lights from his eyes slowly coming to life and yet he knelt in front of me as if he knew exactly how I was feeling, that he held both of my cheeks and the warmth they gave me was enough to close my eyes.

"Brother, what brought you here?" I asked but there was no response and when I opened my eyes, I felt like he was already piercing my soul with those observable eyes.

"Are you all right?" I smiled when I heard his voice suddenly cracking and I held both of his cheeks enough to nod and smile at him.

I could see from my window that the sun slowly became brighter than it was.

"I'm fine brother," I said since I already created a cure for this migraine but I was left by these fragment images of things that hadn't happened before.

Still, I don't want my brother to worry too much about me that's why I sighed and smiled even wider.

"So brother, you should do your duties as the student council's secretary, you knew that my fiance would be so furious when you left your duties behind..."

"My sister is the most important person to me in the whole world so it's only natural that he would understand"

When I wanted to say another word, we heard a very familiar voice in front of my door as he was already leaning on one of the walls with arms crossed over his chest and he was already inside when he knocked on the door.

"I guess I needed you Lenon to fill in some paperwork that I have because right now, I would need you to remove your hands on my fiance," Caliere said as he looked like he would want to kill someone in my room right now and that someone might just be my brother.

I saw how Brother Lenon narrowed his eyes enough to close them and sighed as he followed Caliere's orders and said goodbye to me only that he stopped beside the crown prince.

I hadn't even heard them speak to each other but it seemed as if there had been tension between the two and after a few more minutes both of them closed their eyes as they passed in the opposite direction.

Right now, Caliere was standing right in front of me, but there was a different glint in his eyes, it was neither harsh nor tender, it was only as if he was observing me.

"Last week, you asked if we could ever be friends, and I guess this would be my response for now," the moment he said those words, I saw him lean in closer to me and in a split second my eyes widened.
