Chapter 22 - Alyra’s past (Part 1)

Hayato arrived at the hostel after have been jumping over the roofs, he has the unconscious Alyra in his arms, he came in through the window and put Alyra in his bed to then cover her with a blanket, later he proceeded to sit on the floor and lean on the wall next to the bed, Hayato turns to see Alyra one more time ' it seems that she won't wake up soon, I will sleep in the meantime ' Hayato closes his eyes and then he falls asleep

The next day in the morning Hayato could feel the sun on his face and something else

" Hmm...? " Hayato open his eyes after he felt that someone is watching him " Uh!? " Hayato surprises a little after he saw a pair of blue eyes looking at his face intensely " What are you doing? " It was Dye who was sitting in his lap watching Hayato at a close distance

She makes a curious smile as she says to him " What are you doing on the floor? that girl on the bed throw you? " Then she points at the sleeping Alyra on the bed then she stands up " I will take care of her " Dye clenches her fist and approaches Alyra

Hayato stands up making a serious face and grabs her right shoulder " Stop, don't misunderstand this, she came with me last night "

Dye looks at him with doubt and says " For what reason? eh? don't tell me you kidnapped her? " She then made a surprised face to then a teasing smile

Hayato narrows his eyes seeing her and says " No, the truth is I find her in the night near the lake that is near to the castle, she was trying to do something that I'm not going to tell you, but I bring her here and now she will become our new partner " He turns to see the beauty in the bed

Hayato turns to see Dye and says with a serious voice " Now Dye, I hope you can treat her like a partner from now on "

Dye raises her eyebrows and says with a happy smile " Sooo... if you didn't kidnap her? why did you bring her here? "

" For a special circumstance... something that she and I share, now, let's wait until she wakes up " Hayato ignores her and he sits down on the floor just as Dye who was seeing Hayato as he leans on the floor

Hayato and Dye waited for Alyra to wake up, they only wait up for a couple of minutes when she finally woke up

" Ah….where am I? " Alyra said with a sleepy face, then she scanned the room with narrowed eyes until she heard

" You finally woke up, tell me, how do you feel, Alyra? " Hayato said with a slight smile when their eyes meet

Alyra gets up from the bed with a confused face " Where are we?…... eh? wait a minute, I can see, it's been a long time since I can see with both of my eyes but you think it is ok to cure me she still could know we are, besides, you don't know who am I " She turns serious almost immediately

Hayato makes an expressionless face and says " Ok calm down, I already sealed the curse mark on your nape, so you don't have to worry, now you can answer me who you are, I know that you are very important but not why are you so important " As Hayato sees Alyra worried expression but smiling a little, he thinks ' She is part of Ellen's family that's for sure but she is of hers a cousin? an aunt? or... '

Alyra smiles shyly and says " O-Ok Hayato I owe you so much, so I will tell you everything about me, but first who is she? " then she points at Dye who has had a confused face since they began to talk

" She is Dye, my partner, Dye she is Alyra, so now that you know that, I can't let you go out until the person who made you that won't be a problem for you, so I hope you can understand me " Hayato presents both girls and then he turns to see Alyra with a serious face

" Thank you Hayato, I don't know how can I pay for your kindness, and nice to meet you Dye " Alyra makes a happy smile at both of them

" Hello! " Dye said with a bright smile

" Now Hayato, what do you want to ask me? " Alyra smiled at Hayato

" Tell me something, the one who made you that was Ellen, the princess of Lyrel, right? " Hayato made a serious face when he was seeing Alyra

Alyra is surprised and she says " Ho...How do you know that? "

Hayato smirks and says " So I was right, what are you to her, her cousin? "

Alyra bows her head and clenches her fists when she speaks with a soft angered voice " She is...she is my sister "

Hayato surprises a little " Your sister, I never thought she had a sister " then he thinks ' They don't look like sisters, she is far more beautiful than her '

Alyra raises her head as she says " How did you know it was her? unless you are the next one! " then she puts on a shocked face

Hayato makes a face of doubt and says " The next one? what do you mean? "

" Eh? what are you two talking about? Hey " Dye seems to be curious about what they are talking but she was ignored

" She is a succubus, when she found someone with great powers she began to approach them by either making them fall in love with her or offering them a high position in her group of Knights, when that happened she stole their powers just like she did to me " Alyra spoke with an angered face

' Well it seems that I don't need any information from the Captain, things never go as planned '

" Now tell me, do you know how many times she had done that? " Hayato asked Alyra with a serious face

" I.. don't know how many, but I was the first one that's for sure. At that time I was an Advance Legend Magic Swordsman but now I had nothing, besides, now she is an Advance Super Magic Swordsman, so with an estimation, I can say that she had done It more than thirty times and now you are her next target, Hayato " Alyra responded in a serious voice

" Hey! don't ignore me! tell me what are you talking about!? hey! " Dye begins to get angry after being ignored again

Hayato crosses his arms and asks with a serious face " You know how did she steal their powers? I think that her method was different from the one she used in your body "

" Yes, I don't know how she stole their powers, but I think she needed some kind of spell, bigger than the curse she put on me " Alyra was a little angry

' I see, then the best thing to do is ask the Captain to find out what kind of spell she is suing maybe I can do something against it if I know how it works '

Alyra starts to speak with worry seeing Hayato " Hayato we have to leave the Lyrel kingdom, that way she can't use you and we can…. "

" Don't worry about her " Hayato interrupts her with a confident smile then he says with a serious face " Now tell me, how she did do that to your face? "

" But she is going after you! and she isn't going to stop until she gets all of your powers! " Alyra become more worried than before

" I said don't worry about her, now tell me what happened to you? " Hayato said nonchalantly

Alyra makes a sad face and she sits on the bed " Ok Hayato, it all started when my father married for a second time, I was two years old when she arrived at the castle, these memories are a little foggy but how can I ever forget that "

A beautiful red-head woman was walking in one of the hallways of the castle with a little girl with vermilion hair in her arms, both of them were talking with each other with smiles on their faces

" Mommy, what the priest said is surprising? " The little girl smiled at the beautiful red-head woman

" Of course, it is, silly girl! a Magic Swordsman is something to celebrate! even your father was really happy! you don't see him? " The woman hugs the little girl as she carries her

" Really!! yay!! " The little girl screamed with joy

" Could you shut up that thing! " The angered voice of a woman came behind the little girl and her mother, when the mother heard her she turned around to see her with a calm face. The woman has long black hair and green eyes she wears a long black dress but her belly is big, she is pregnant

" Oh! no! a monster in the castle! call the guards! " The mother yelled with a frightened face

" Hihihi " The little girl laughs again

" What did you say!? you f*cking maid! " The woman yelled in anger

The mother sees her face with a smile and sighs " Oh? I'm sorry, is just the lady of the Lockstar family, you should warn people before you walk behind them, someone could kill you if you keep walking behind them without warning " she made a mocking smile

" Grr! stupid maid! how dare you! " The woman has a raging face

The mother makes a cold face and she responds to her " I'm not a maid anymore, you and I have the same status as the wives of the prince "

The woman smirks coldly and says " Hmph, you think so? when I give birth to the prince's child everything will change and you and that thing will become maids of the castle, haha " the woman turns around and leaves

The mother sees the retreating woman coldly and says " Hmph, we will see that "she was nervous and shaking little

The little girl noticed the shaking hand of her mother and she makes a worried face " Mommy? "

The mother smiles sweetly and says " Don't worry, now let's go to eat something "
