Chapter 24

Aella glared at Kai. He's acting like a girl. They're arguing for two hours straight like a married couple for years. After she told him about his true parents. Mr. Alberich arrived at the city to talk to the grandmaster about his son. About Kai.

"Stop being a girl, and face your father." Aella said to Kai.

They're still on the headquarters, while the ladies went to their respective work. Aella and Kai are along in her old room, talking, while Mr. Alberich is talking to the grandmaster.

"I don't want. I tried to steal his properties and business. He will disown me because I was a criminal." Kai said to her. Aella saw his worried face.

"How sure you are that he will disown you? You should at least try. You will never know. Well, those properties will be given to you in the future." Aella tried to convince Kai more, but he just shakes his head to disagree.

Aella took a deep breath. Kai is stressing her out. "Just try or I will be the one who will talk to your father." She threatened Kai. "Wait, are you shy?" She added.

Kai immediately shook his head . "What? No." He denied the accusation.

"I understand that you're being shy to own father because you know, decades passed and you didn't know him but it's time to meet your father. You're even lucky to have your father because me, I didn't met mine." Aella said to Kai to persuade him more.

"Fine." Kai responded shortly. He's like a kid who got scolded by his mom. He's pouting his swollen lips and crossed his arms.

Aella rolled her eyes. He's such a hardheaded man, she thought. What could be her future with him? Maybe always stressed. And where is the shameless Kai, she knew?

"Don't pout at me. I thought you are shameless man." She scolded him again. He's being a bitch to her.

Kai rub the back of his head, when Aella glared at him again.

Aella turned her back at him and her eyes went to her table. From standing she sat at her chair and admired the view of her study table. It's been a long time since she went into her room.

The day that Richart's group started attacking houses, Aella was assign to join the patrol group on night and as a rescuer to the victim, she never used the room again. Then Kai kidnapped her. She's busy reminiscing her memories when she heard Kai's voice.

"You really like putting your hair on ponytail."

Aella turned her head and glanced at Kai, who is staring at her hanging portrait on the wall. It's her, in a Knights uniform and her hair was put in a ponytail. That portrait was given to her by her mother, a year ago.

Aella smiled and stared at her portrait. "And? It's more comfortable to fight the enemies." She explained.

"You look ravishing in your uniform." He praised her.

Aella can't help but to smile because of his praises.

Kai saw her smiling, their eyes met and Aella noticed his eyes glistening and looking at her with admiration. Kai didn't get tired looking at her like that, whenever their eyes met, he always look at her with gentleness and admiration.

Aella also fascinates his eyes. His ocean eyes, makes her wants to be drown by him. He has these expressive eyes. Maybe he can only express himself by his eyes.

Her eyes went to his red swollen and seductive lips. Kai's perfect teeth was showed and Aella realized that, she's staring at Kai. She heard his chuckles and Aella immediately removed her eyes on him.
