Chapter 44. The End of Feelings

Suddenly, Rachel pointed her sword at my father. I immediately covered myself with it in shock.

— What are you doing?! — I shrieked, staring at her in horror.

— I'm going to kill him.

The tone of her voice was so cold and cruel that I was actually amazed. Rachel wasn't talking about a stranger. It was… My father!

I clenched my teeth.

— If… If you have a beef with me, that doesn't mean you can touch my family! — I exclaimed, «Deal with me!

But Rachel didn't react at all.

— Back off,» she ordered in an icy tone, «or I'll have to do it by force.

— NO!

I put my arms out to either side, showing her directly-that the girl could only get to the Archduke over my dead body. I really couldn't understand what had suddenly come over her. Why did she suddenly want him dead so badly?!
