Mika escorted Selena to her palace so that she could rest there. After that, he could only calm down looking for Herra. However, circumstances forced him to stay longer because Selena whined that she wanted to continue to be accompanied by him.
"Can't you stay with me for a while? At least until my wound heals." The woman put on a pitiful face for Mika to pity her.
Mika took a deep breath. He was very worried about Herra and wanted to find the girl immediately. But Selena seemed to hold it. "Very well, I will stay for a while until your wound heals." The answer is even with a sense of compulsion. He didn't want Selena to suspect him.
"Thank you, Mika. You really are a very understanding man." Selena immediately burst into Mika's arms. His sly smile widened, he thought it was easy to fool this one man.
Aaron couldn't stay still. He decides to look for Herra without Mika. He thought the man was in love because of Selena, he even always complied with her request. Aaron felt sorry for Herra if the girl knew about this fact.
"Just let me look for Herra, you just take care of your woman," Aaron said curtly before he finally walked away.
er, eyes as far as she could. These few days, Azura didn't let her leave the room because she was caught wanting to run away. Now he could only hope that someone would come to save him and take him away from this hell.
Miura is not happy when Azura always says bad things about Mika. The man said that Mika was the one who actually killed his parents. It just doesn't make any sense. If Mika really killed his parents. Why didn't Mika kill himself too?
No...
Miura couldn't just believe Azura's words without any proof. And the man proved unable to give him any proof. Then what is it called if not a liar?
He didn't want Azura to keep brainwashing him. Miura tried to escape, but Azura knew her intention and now she ended up in cages here.
Kreeekkk...
There was the sound of a door being opened. Miura didn't turn around, she knew it must be Azura who was entering her room. "I brought you dinner. Eat, you haven't eaten since this morning." He said while placing the tray of food on the table.
"IM not hungry," Miura said without looking up. He was still mad at that man. And really don't want to talk to him.
"I know you're annoyed with me. But you can't torture yourself like this."
"What do you care? If you really cared about me, you wouldn't lock me up like this here, would you? But you did. And now there's no need to pretend to be nice to me. I don't want to hear anything from you." Miura said as if she wanted to vent all her frustrations.
The corners of Azura's lips lifted into a small smile. He thought that Herra was still the same as before, stubborn.
"I'm sure you're actually hungry. But why refrain from eating? What are you still mad at me for?" Miura showed her annoyance, but Azura still responded casually. "Is it because I said something bad about Mika?" Guess what.
"Don't say anything else. I don't like it when you try to influence me."
"Haha... Herra, you are so funny. I'm not trying to influence you. I'm talking about reality. I brought you here because I want to protect you. Trust me."
Miura replied to Azura's words with a cynical smile. "Protect? Are you sure? I think you just want to satisfy your ego. Realize, I'm not the woman in the painting." Miura pointed at the painting of a woman that was right above her bed."
Previously, Azura said that she and Herra were husband and wife in the past. But the woman Miura just found out was named Vivian, who died in a war. After thousands of years have passed, Azura believes that Vivian has reincarnated into another figure, Herra. Because Herra's face is very similar to Vivian's. Only their hair color is different.
"You just forgot, I believe you are my Vivian. One day I will make you remember the time we were together." Azura said in a sad tone.
"You know Azura. In this life, everything doesn't have to go according to what you want. If I were the reincarnation of Vivian, but maybe my destiny is not to be with you anymore, do you understand that?"
Azura's head, which had been lowered earlier, suddenly looked up, looking at Herra with disbelief. "You can't always force your way. If you really love Vivian. You should be able to see Vivian's reincarnation can live happily even if not with you." Miura continued and made Azura even more stunned.
"Shut up!"
His red eyes were now sparkling. He seemed so offended that it made him angry. "You--"
But he had no words to refute Herra's words. What the girl said was true. And now he was so unsure of himself. What he felt for Herra was love or just an obsession. This time he really could not control himself. Like a raging storm, he started throwing all the things in the room.
Miura didn't expect that her words would make Azura react the way she did now. Now the man was acting like a child who had lost his toy.
"You don't understand! You don't understand!" His voice was hoarse with ragged breaths. His chest seemed to rise and fall trying to suppress the remaining emotions.
"Azure, I--"
"Just forget it!" Azura rushed out of the room by slamming the door behind her.
Miura clutched her chest, the incident had really taken her by surprise. The man was terrifying when he was angry. But he felt that what he said was not wrong, and wanted the man to be able to accept reality and stop being trapped in the story of his past.
Azura immediately stepped into her own room. He looked for blood supplies that he kept in a cupboard. The ready-to-eat blood is packaged in clear, flat-shaped bags. He took one of them and immediately chugged it down.
After that, he sat on the old sofa in his room with a steady breath. A flash of Vivian's image without permission floated in his mind.
"Azura..."
"Vivian..."
Azura seemed to be able to clearly hear Vivian's voice. But a moment later he realized it was just his hallucination. Can't stand the pain that settles in the chest. Clear liquid from the corners of his eyes slowly trickled down his cheeks.
"Vivian... I thought you had come back, in fact, you may never come back, she just looks like you, not you." Azura used her arm to cover her eyes which were facing the ceiling of the room. "Vivian, I missed you so much, can we meet again?"
