Scary as hell.
That's what the thought of all inside that room who witness Ophelia's power, Ophelia easily dispel the deadly aura. Creating an invisible protection barrier surrounding the estate of duke.
It was felt by everyone, the sensation of her power when it's running wild to protect them.
Everyone looked at her dumbfounded, this cannot be done by just a ‘powerful individual’ just the deadly aura itself is so strong then how strong the one who's stopping it?
“How the hell can you...” The third prince said but eventually close his mouth when he can't find the words he need to say.
I looked at him, irritation started bubbling up in my head but I managed my expression and said, “Find the source.”
The princes seems to be snapped out of thought,
My hand shook pitifully and they noticed it, Qui and the princes immediately gone near me.
“Sis, are you okay?” Helios asked worriedly,
I tsked at them, “Move, i can't hold this all day.” I said,
“But—”
“Just go.” I slightly bit my lower lip, showing my struggle.
The three of them looks at me worriedly,
I saw how the third prince Nouie gritted his teeth, the way his jaw clenched, he averted his eyes away from my state and looks at Qui.
“Stay here, protect her at all cost. If something unpleasant happens to her, i will search for you even at the end of the world.” He threateningly said to Qui and walk out of the room,
Qui wore a neutral expression but his worriedness can be felt,
“Sister, wait for us.” Helios said, more sounds something like ‘we will end this fast’ and looked at Qui,
“No touching.” Helios strictly said to Qui and looks at me then smiled before going after Nouie,
To find the source of this aura.
I looked at the people who is looking at us silently and when they see that i'm looking at them, they seems worried.
“M-My lady...”
“Lady Ophelia”
“Lady Ophelia, are you okay?”
They all said in unison, making my head ache.
I showed them a expressionless face but my hand shook again, making them all looked at me more worriedly.
I nod one time and said, “I'm fine, go out and look if all the people inside the mansion is fine.”
Their eyes shakes and they started to get noisy again,
“B-But, you're the one we need to protect...”
“The lady of this house need to be protected!”
“Lady, we can't!”
“Your safety is the top priority here.”
They all argued, “Disobeying me?” I asked, along with the unconcealed irritation,
They flinched, “H-How could we—”
“Then do what i said.” I command,
They all looked at each other, unsure about what to do but they can't disobey me, can they?
They bow down clumsily, “As you wish, my lady.” And left,
Leaving us behind, Qui and Me.
“Kyrios V. are you okay?” Qui finally spoke and i can hear the worriedness in his voice,
I looked at him, “Getting soft, are we?” I said, half jokingly.
But he seems serious and about to speak again when i immediately cut him off,
“Who said that i'm not okay?” I asked,
“You...You're using your power.” He said,
A playful small smirk draw my lips upward, and i looked at him as if offended,
“Am i that weak to you, Qui?”
He flinched, “N-No.” He answered,
Qui is my right hand man, for 6 years. His hesitant answer right now made me realize that i don't know him well and that goes for me as well,
We work together.
But that's all, nothing serious, nothing personal, nothing extraordinary, nothing more than comrades.
Instead being sad after realizing that we are nothing more than comrades, i'm actually happy.
Now i'm sure that i closed my heart to other people, i don't give a damn, no hard feelings, and i don't get attached. More than i like it.
Infront of this man named Qui, I pulled an unexpected moved that make him stunned.
I put my hands down and mockingly looked at him,
His eyes went wide, “H-How...?”
I grin inwardly but i showed my neutral expression on my face, “Surprised?”
I walk and passed his side before sitting arrogantly on the chair in front of my bed, he followed my movements but i can see that he's still shocked.
Tsk, is that really surprising? To not use hand while using your power in this world seems to be a big deal.
“How can you? How can this be? T-This kind of power need control...so how?” He asked, completely confused and stunned,
I grab a towel on top of the small, long table beside me and gently wiping my hands with it.
“Qui, you should know by now.” I said without looking at him,
I didn't receive any reply so i continued with a sigh, i really hate long talk ha.
“I couldn't have saved you from danger 10 years ago if i wasn't this strong, could i?” I said and tossed the towel before looking at him seriously,
He lowered his eyes and i knew that he recalled those times, i saw how fear passed his eyes but that eventually vanished.
He seems to realized that just now?
Is he that dumb dumb to possibly thought that i'm just one of the saviors? I rolled my eyes inwardly.
“You...So, you're the one who literally saved me...” He said, still processing.
I stood up, “Who else, dumbass?” I said and roam my eyes around my wrecked room,
Where am i going to sleep tonight? *Sigh* Troublemakers can really make me think so much.
“Then, why are you hiding your strength? You could've rank higher than this current rank of yours” He said,
I touched the side of the wall of my room, and then closed my eyes before answering Qui. He's behind me so he can't see my actions anyway,
“Don't want attention.” I answered, completely not interested in his questions but i will answer it for the peace of his mind.
He still have things to do for me in the future.
“You will not only get attention, you will gain respect, admiration, and so much more!”
Kid, stop yelling tsk. How funny that you're like a robot in front of people but when it's just me and you, you're a blabbermouth
Instead of answering, I focused on what i was doing. I'm finding the source of this aura,
“You shouldn't hide this”
My power travelled from wall to wall of the whole mansion, it's like an electricity than about to find it's main point.
“Kyrios, just what are you thinking?” Qui still talking on the background,
I tilted my head, why is it so hard to find the source? It's like, the user of it is not on the world...
Out of this world.
