I Reincarnated As One Of The Best Friend Of Rival Character In Otome game

Act 1: Xander POV part 2

Her hand feels soft and warm.It was quiet, I try to find a topic that we can talk but holding her hand make my head feel fuzzy. I can see that she sometimes sneak a peek at my face. Well, I am not trying to boast but people always says that I look like an angle and I like my face too. It easy to let others put down their guard and easy for me to manipulate them. They never suspect with a face like this.

"Ehm..hey what are you doing here" She tries to start a conversation with me

"Umm..mother want to go to the hot spring as she heard that the hot spring can give beautiful skin so she drags me here" I try to look meek so I spoke softly

"So do you like it here"

"Yeah, besides the guard and the people that always disturbed me. Everything else is perfect." I flash my cutest smile to her. She then looks at me with a warm gaze. Like my mother used to look at me before. I wonder why?. When I flash my cutest smile to other girls, they will blush or act shy but she looked at me with a mother gaze. Look like I need to try another tactic

We keep talking and I feel someone watching us. Then 3 people appear wearing black cloth and also cover their face with a black cloth. I was very angry at that time because they interrupt my time with her. I didn't even get to ask her name yet. I was just going to beat them but she pulls my hand and stand in front of me. I did not know that I act so well that she thought I was a weak guy. Although I look like this I received a proper training. Even if there were 3 people, I can still put out a fight until my guards came. I active my magic tool that I received from my mother. All my guard will know that I am in danger right know and they will rush to find me.

She and the woman who was wearing black cloth were talking. Then seeing her try to protect me, something pop in my mind. 'I can test her to see if she will betray me or not' I thought at that time. Then she use a spell, I never see a spell that can make fog appear.We keep running but not long after that, we were surrounded. One of the guys says

"Haha..where do you think you can run, now hand over the prince and we may spare your life"

When I heard what one of the assassins say I feel afraid. Not afraid of them but I was afraid that she will betray my expectation. I feel very lonely and I need someone, I need her to be someone that I can trust. I was tired and I didn't realize I was trembling until she squeezes my hand trying to reassure me

"Don't worry I will protect you" That what she say and I stop trembling

"Thank you" I feel relief. I want to stop pretending and help her but I wait. I wait until the last of the battle. I want to see if she will give up on me if she was on a verge of dying

I already see my guards arrived I give them a signal to not interfere with this battle. She, again and again, protect me and even went to far to sacrifice her arm. When she cannot stand anymore, I decide at that time I will protect and cherish her. I will make her my queen. I went in front of her and spread my arm so the dagger will not hit her. My royal knight guard, Garreth appear in front of me and slash the assassin

Not long after that her family came. I found out her name is Trisha Reynold the noble girls of Reynold household. We carry her to the treatment room and ask Garreth to call the royal healer. Fortunately, he came with us to study the effect of the hot spring.

"Make sure your heal her. If not I will make your life a living hell" I threated the healer. The healer seems surprised seeing my true face. His face turns white and he nods.Then he rushes to Trisha to treat her

When the healer Jake Mayson came out. He looks at me and I can hear my heart beating fast. I was afraid that I went too far to test her. I don't care if she loses her arm as long as she lives because I will take care of her. I have found my light and I will not lose her.
