AEDELLE'S POV

As I get out of the changing room, I was met by Drake's happy face. He was smiling ear to ear as if there's no tomorrow but sorry to break that shit, I don't wanna know the reason why he's smiling. I dont care.

"Aedelle" he said casually.

"Ye? I thought you're busy."

His shoulder slumped downwards.

"Yeah. They forced me to bring a patient to the clinic." he uttered casually.

"Forced?" I asked.

"Yeah. The one you are sparring with earlier. What happened by the way? I was busy scrabbling on my phone when someone rushed to my place and pull me up to bring that girl to the nurse. I wasn't able to check on you."

I blinked several times as I process his words.

Drake subconsciously shrug his shoulders before putting both of his hands on his jeans pocket.

"You didn't voluntarily helped that girl?"

I asked again for the last time. What the hell just happened?

"What's with that look Aedelle? Of course I didn't." he answered and I could see nothing but sincerity in his eyes.

I let a smile escape my lips. I felt as if a heavy burden was lifted into me.

Drake on the other hand welcomed my smile with a warm embrace. But unfortunately, he touched the wounded one and I cringed.

"Whoa, what's wrong with your shoulder?" he asked with a look of concern.

I am wearing a coat which is why he can't see the bandaged part.

I tried to straighten my back and look at him innocently.

"What are you talking about? I'm super fine."

His eyes narrowed at me before leaning forward and nearly touching his nose to mine.

"You may be a good actress but you can't deceive an assassin's skill towards human body Sweetie. I know so well if a person is in good condition." he stated with a grin.

I tsked. "Then why are you asking me earlier if you already know it?"

He shrugged his shoulders again before straightening up.

"I just want you to be honest on me Aedelle, that's why I asked you. Now what exactly happened to your shoulder?"

I took a deep breath before looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Lizette cheated on the sparring. She unleashed her swords and tried to slash me on my neck but look, my shoulder's hurt." I managed to say with sarcasm. I still dont understand why she has to wound me up. Is she stupid? Rank #5 huh.
