"Even after being hurt like this, she is still worried about others." Rufus huffed in frustration when he turned around after he turned Minella back.
After staring at the wound on her hand and sensing her broken ribs, he grumbles, "Why does she not care about herself at all?"
Then his eyes slowly moved towards her face, which was wrinkled in dread.
It was then that his eyes fell on her properly. He did feel she was beautiful, but now he had a close look at her. She was really different looking, not like all the looks he had seen in his life. Even though she has a curvaceous figure. She is without a doubt the most beautiful thing in the world for his eyes.
Her eyes really had long lashes, and her cheeks were flushed red because of tension. Her lips were fluttering even though she was unconscious because of fear.
His eyes also noticed her hair, which was not straight at all; it was curling. In the heat of the moment, his hand all of the sudden stretched out in the air and stopped near her hair in an attempt to feel the touch of her hair.
and soon the chilly wind blew around him, which made him shiver.
"What the..." he jerked in amazement as he pulled his hand.
"Did I just urge you to touch her hair?" As his eyes followed the length of his hand, his face became blank. He stared at his hand for a while. "No no, this is not true." Then the slightest grin started to glimmer on his face, which became wide, and soon his whole face became wrinkled because of his mocking laugh.
He placed his hand over his face, which covered his eyes, as he stopped laughing and mumbled, "The world's greatest maze wanted to touch the hair of a maid."
"Me? Really her hair?"
"How come my eyes got charmed with this lowly creature."He gazed at Raina with loathful eyes.
He rubbed his hand over his hair as he mused to himself, "Is it because I have been living my life in seclusion for almost two hundred years?" and then smirk.
He suddenly went into denial, "No, that can't be an excuse which I accept." as he walks away from her, near the window.
He breathed deeply and turned around as he sneaked a peek in order to confirm, but as soon as he turned, he started hearing the loud sound. It was the sound of his heart, which began to pound hard as he got a glimpse of her.
As he put his hand on his chest, "This.sound.is.coming.from.my.heart." His pride was shattered as he confirmed.
"This is it; she has me hooked. Now it's dangerous for me to stay any longer here." He turned around and was about to leave as he softly clenched his teeth.
But he stopped in the middle and took a few steps back. He sat in front of her and then pulled the clothes from her wound as he gently opened its knot without making a sound. He was kept so quiet that even his breath was not making any sound.
As he pulled the clothes from her wound, he became surprised. Her wound was still open because it didn't clot at all and the piece of flash which was ripped is still leaking blood.
"Her wound is still open," his voice waved as he saw her blood flowing. He involuntary pressed the cloth which he was holding in his hand.
He whispers, "Why is she not clotting at all?" He takes a peek at Minella's nails as he turns his head. "Is it because of the wolf curse?"
"There is something more about these sisters. Now, this is getting terrifying."
He felt the wet under his hand, which was pressing on the Raina wound, "If this continues, she might die because of blood loss now."
"She's really pitiful," he sighed as he threw the clothes away from her wound.
He didn't even realize his hand was softly stroking her face as he felt sympathetic toward her. He felt her cheeks were quite soft, so he twisted his face into a soft smile.
He stood on his feet as he pulled himself away from her, "Now it looks like I need to use forbidden magic on her ." He ponders as he becomes a little anxious.
He closed his eyes and started enchanting. He rubs his two fingers from each hand with each other and then creates a circle in the air. As he did with hand movement, a unique circle formed in the air.
"I wonder how many taboos I am going to break today," he exhaled, with a pitiful grin.
As she stated, the rain of blood that was spilled over the floor started to float in the air in the form of droplets. Not only that, but the blood the cloth absorbed also gets removed from the clothes and turns into droplets. Then all of the blood droplets mix with each other while floating in the air as the impurities fly away.
He opened his eyes at once after the spell was completed. He forced his hand once near Raina after opening his eyes, which were glowing in light. Raina's blood, which was floating in the air, returned to the body of Raina through her wound. Then he followed the mark on his hand with his two fingers in order to close the wound and fixed her ribs bone.
A sign of relief started to glimmer on his face as he saw Rana without any marks.
He touched her forehead softly and maintained her body temperature with his magic as he whispered, "She doesn't even realize that she was about to lose her life in an attempt to save her sister."
"Now she is ok," he smirks.
"I hope from now on you will at least take care of yourself," he said, placing his cheek on the folded arm that was next to her face on the bed as he sat on the floor.
While Raina's face was slowly returning to its former hue and her body was beginning to normalize, his eyes remained softly fixated on her face.
The darkness that was covering the room disappeared as the morning broke and the room which was devoid of light was filled with brightness.
As the sun's rays tickle close to Raina's eyes, her eyes flicker. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that both hands were on her face. Only a tiny gap allowed the light to pass through and reach Raina's eyes.
Her eyes traced the length of her hand, becoming shocked as she got a closer look. There was absolutely no wound, not even any trace of a wound in her hand.
She rolled up from bed abruptly in an effort to look over Minella.
She pushed herself away from her pillow, but as soon as she did, she suddenly felt utterly terrified. She even yanked herself away from her bed as she yelled an inaudible, "Wha?"
She leaned back against the wall of the bed, cradling her legs in her arms as she embraced both of them with her hands.
She shouted, in a trembling voice, "You! Why are you still here? " a face filled with terror.
