Again?

"Milady...! Milady...!" Someone was shaking my unconscious body, trying any desperate means to wake up. I croaked out, to whoever was calling me.

"You're awake...! Thank goodness..." That person laid by my side and cried. Slowly opening my eyes, I saw this scene again. Walton crying over my almost dead corpse.

"You don't know how afraid was I... I went into your house to see a pool of blood around you... I checked for injuries but you had none, and you couldn't stop bleeding! You were out for one week straight and had to live on drip...! I thought you were dead!" Raising my weak hand, I cupped his face. He then cupped my hand, as if scared to let me leave.

"Don't cry okay...?" My voice cracked as I tried to speak more. I gently smiled at him before he broke down once again. He slept after a while, I guessed he stayed with me for a while.

"I-I don't wish to lose you..." I used my other free hand and gave a pat to his head. The doctor told me to not do strenuous which I can comply. Walton woke up after a while and carried me all the way back to class.

The next few days was quite tough. Walton refused to leave me alone. He would help me in everything I do and never leave my side. For normal people who have servants, that is the best situation. Having your servant doing everything for you while you don't do anything. To me, it's annoying and unnecessary.

"Walton, you don't have to follow me around everywhere. It's getting frankly annoying. Please stop."

"But Milady, what if you ge—"

"Stop. I won't get hurt as last time okay. That was once. Now stop following." He nodded and proceeded to leave me alone, giving me my private space. While walking with an absent mind, I bumped into someone with a broad chest. I staggered and fell on my bottom.

A hand reached out in front of me, helping me to stand up. His beautiful blonde hair shining and I raised my head up. What I saw was quite different. Raymond with a genuinely concerned face? That was highly unusual.

"My Queen, are you okay? Are you hurt? I heard you went into a small coma." I was not used to Raymond being this concerned about me.

"I'm fine, what do you want?" His eyes piercing through my soul with much gentleness.

"Please be by my side again, I won't do such things to you again." I shook my head, declining his offer.

"So you wouldn't mind me sprea—"

"Enough! I'll be your Queen again. Just don't reveal that information. Or I'm killing your whole family Raymond." He nodded and went to the council room, leaving me alone.

I wish I wasn't this vulnerable. What would everyone think if they knew I was the murderer to the great Alphonse wizards? Their own child, killed them in search of more power. I would be hated by the eyes of the world, even the normal humans. Who would want a child who killed a parents?

My tears flowing freely down my face as I sat on the window sill, remembering that exact moment. I looked out and see the courtyard. I headed out for the courtyard to practice. I took out my wand and put some magic into my hand.

"Equipement magic Storm of Daggers. Heed my call." I drew a circle around me and daggers appeared. This time, they were wobbling within the air and much tiring. I took another puff of air and dropped to my knees. Equipment magic is still taking too much of my magic stamina. Layla came over to me and knelt beside me.

"Lily! Are you okay? You shouldn't overwork yourself because you've just recovered. Also I believe this is yours." She gives me a white cape and puts it on my shoulders. I sighed and thanked her.

"Now that you're Queen back again, can you take me under your wing too? I wish to be with Lara." I nodded, not giving anything else a thought. I gave my skirt a pat, trying to find the notebook. I must have dropped it somewhere. I turned to Layla and asked.

"Layla, did you see my notebook?" She shook her head in denial. She asked if it was a blue notebook and I nodded.

"Oh, Lara picked it up. I saw her returning to class with that notebook in her hands. I nodded once again and stood up. White cape flowing freely with the wind. I signalled for Layla to come with me and she did.

When I reached the class, Lara was sitting at her own desk with Walton teaching her stuff. She made a realization and took my notebook out.

"H-here you go..! I-I pi-picked it up.. I p-promise I d-didn't look into it..!" I gave her a gentle smile and a pat for her head.

"It's fine, as long you know how to return stuff and not read without people's permission." For a moment, Layla pulled Lara out, wanted to talk after not being able to talk for a while. Who knew what they were talking about. I sat at my table and looked at the bright blue sky, my hand blocking some sun from my eyes.

"Papa... Mama... I may not be able to see you guy sppn, but I promise I won't disrupt the Balance."

~ behind the doors ~

"Lady Serachiel say to initiate Plan A. We will do our best to achieve her goal of being supreme leader of the Balance. Won't we?"

"Yes we will. We will do everything on Lady Serachiel's orders."
