「 Who's the traitor?
➤Shiki
➤Hikari
➤Elmira
➤Daryll
Please select a name 」
My brows knitted, confuse on why is Shiki on the list. I panned my gaze at him who was talking to Ezryn as they were both focused on the map below.
That's so strange. Every names that was present here were all from our group. Shiki and Daryll? I'm pretty sure they're not.
Unless they are?
Ok I'm making nonsensical assumptions here. I have no claim to prove anything, so therefore, I shouldn't jump to conclusion yet. Observing is what I have to do for now.
But do I have to answer this? I'm still not sure on who it is. Hikari pops up in front of my mind as the primary traitor, since that's what Rinalyn had told me and she was rather acting strange as said by her. Of course I'd hold to that assumption, Rinalyn and Hikari were close, so I am sure Rinalyn knew Hikari more than I do.
However, there's something odd. My Instincts tells me that there's more to uncover.
I set the floating screen aside for now, since I have to declutter my mind before selecting the 'real' traitor.
Suddenly, I flinched when someone tapped me by the shoulder. It was Ezryn. He looked at me with bewildered expression, and as for Shiki, he has his same old stoic expression.
My mind starts to wander off.
I absolutely can not imagine him as a possessive type. He was someone who 'supposedly' is going to turn out as a obssessive love interest. Like, Dion per say. But I can't picture him acting like that jerk.
"We've called you several times, you seem to be thinking something serious." Stated Ezryn.
Speaking of which. This man, somehow — for me— he emits a person who has the possibility to be the secret or, rather last male lead. But his data can not be found, whatsoever.
Is he an alimony? A bug? Or something that was not even supposed to be here?
I don't know.
"Say, Ezryn. . ." I trailed, signaling him to bend his upper body down a bit, just so that I could reach his ear. "I think it would be fine to show Shiki your, you know. . ?"
"My true appearance?" He whispered back, I nodded in affirmation. Before answering back, he looked at Shiki and hesitatedly gave me a direct glance. "Uhm, I don't mind but, will that be fine?"
I nodded. There shouldn't be a problem with it, no? As far as I've known Mr. Eyepatch, he's a man of a few words. Surely he won't just blurt it out about Ezryn.
"What are you both whispering about, care to share it with me as well?" Shiki suddenly intoned.
Ezryn and I both glance at each other as we nodded. If this means we'll be doing things as a team, there shouldn't be secrets between us, right? Except the fact that I'm not actually Luna— let's abstain from telling them that. Not now, but in the future, maybe.
"Since, you know, I seem to have been dragged along with. . . whatever this is. If we're supposed to work together, then I guess I should at least tell you— no, show you rather, my. . .uhm, true appearance?" Ezryn said.
Shiki didn't say anything and just glance at me as I then nodded at him.
We both stare at Ezryn as he reached for the ring on his left hand, as he then slid it out of his middle finger. His hair started to change to a pinkish hue, eyes fading to gold. His supple mark that had appeared that day was still there, but only when his golden eyes shows up.
I looked at Shiki, finding any violent reaction. But he seemed calm and anticipated this.
Does this man already knew about him? Is he that observant and deductive around people and to his surrounding? What is he, a reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes?
Ezryn seem to also have noticed that Shiki didn't have any reaction with his appearance. "You don't seem to be surprised by this." He pointed out.
"Of course, you're family is famous. I had the time to do a background check to all of the people surrounding me."
"You run a background check on me!?" Ezryn raise his voice in disbelief.
I mean, I would too. He's that free to check everyone's upbringing?
"The fact that you carry that, hmm, seal around you. There must be also one that seal your powers completely making you, a somehow, ordinary human? No magic, no special abilities. Just a regular human."
Ezryn seem to have been perplexed by what Shiki stated, but eventually nodded after a few while.
Just a regular human. . . Those words played in my head, countlessly. Like a record on a loop.
If what I am thinking turns out to be true, then why won't his screen pops up? If he's the male interest that I've been looking for to complete all seven of them— why isn't his stats available?
Who exactly is Ezryn?
