Don't you ever regret about this

GALLOP~ GALLOP~

"We've arrived."

I slide the curtain to take a peek. 'Wow, such a big castle!' The carriage enters stops in front of the castle. Arian go out first and William. Lorraine goes out of the last one. A butler greets us and leads the way to the Emperor office.

TAP! TAP! TAP!

The way to the emperor office is empty. Aren't should there's plenty of guards here? Arian whisper at us quietly.

"Aren't should there some guards here?"

"Yeah, I also thinking about that."

"Hey, where's the butler who lead the way?!"

After William say that, Arian and I look up. Oh my, this ain't right!

PSK!!

All the lamp burn out. The noise makes Arian, William and I look up.

"What's that sound, Arian?"

"I don't know, but we need to run!!"

CRACK!!

"Ahh!!"

As we start running, the floor cracks and we fall into the dark. Ah... my butt hurt. 'Eh, where the hell I am?'

"Arian? William?"

"..."

"Hey! Do you heard me?!! William! Arian!"

"..."

I think I trapped here alone... But I really saw that we fall together... It's all black, I can't even see anything... I light the way of using my magic. I don't know where to go, so I just follow where my legs bring me.

PSK!

"Huh?"

I turned after hearing a sound. That's the same noise when we were in the corridor! Should I go check? No, This must be a trap. I close the light, so they won't see me.

SHING!

My left cheeks bleeding. Someone attacks me using a blade! I cast some spells to do some attacks. I will wait till the one who attacks me come out first. A girl appears in front of me after that. A soft pink colour hair. A black shirt with a tight. I can't see clearly because of the dark.

KLUNK!

Oh no. How can this soft-looking girl holding a big sword?! Seeing like that, I summons magic swords.

SHING!!

Urghhh! She's too strong. I can't win if I just rely on my swords skills! I speed towards the girl and cast a stop time. I know the spells will break in any moments because that girls can crush it with her own ability. So, I quickly attack her right hand and her back.

"Arghhh!"

That girl scream after the spells breaks. She kneels down trying to heal the wounds. I thought on crush her but I stop after hearing someone claps hand.

"Oh, Pierre. Do you lose? Fufufu."

"Master..."

A man with long hair pops out from nowhere suddenly talking to this girl yet know her name?! Really, this is a trap! The man who that girl called 'Master' wearing a mask that covers his eyes. Why do I think I saw that mask? Wait... Ah, It's the man from the mountain!! Does he the one who does all this stupid trap?!

"Why're you here?!"

"Young lady, If you keep yelling like that your throat will hurt."

"Answer my question first, you damn!!"

"How about you answer my question first?"

"Why should I? I the one who ask you first!"

"Huhu, You want to follow me or you want me to pick-up you?"

"Follow you? Why I need to follow you?!"

That guy smirks and walks towards me. What the... I step back. He whispers at my ears.

"Don't you ever regret this♡"

I open my eyes slowly. Urgh, the light blind my eyes. As I just sit down, two body already hugs me.

"Lorraine, thank god! I thought you won't open your eyes!!"

"hic! I'm sorry! I can't protect you guys!!"

Arian and William hugs me tightly with tears. I look around. There are Sir James and Marie... So, I in the infirmary... Why do I think my abdomen suddenly wet?

"Eh??"

"Hic, hic. Do you forget us already, Lorraine?"

"Uwaa! Don't be like that!! I have many tasks to do for you guys!!"

"No, it's not like that... But, your tears are drenched my clothes..."

"Eek! We're sorry!!"

Ah... finally...They stop hugging me. Actually, I still confused about what just happened just now. I should ask them.

"Arian, what happens exactly?"

"Huh? Mm, When the floor crack, I don't remember what happened but I think I was unconscious... But, you passed out for 1 whole day.."

"Yeah! When I open my eyes, We were passed out in the corridor!"

"Emm, the letter?"

Before Arian answer it, Sir James start talking,

"You don't need to thinks about it.. Just rest. Everything is alright."

Sir James takes his leave and forces Arian and William to give me space. Marie ask me to lay down and she sits at her desk back.

'Haih, What a mess.'
