Chapter 5

Today is a new day! Krios and I started to get close a little, he always sleeps beside me now and Xino, we become so close as day pass by! For today, I decided to bake some sweets for Xino and Krios! Xino is currently taking his classes here and Krios is currently training the new knights. After doing some paperwork's, I stand up and walk towards the kitchen. I saw some servants was doing their job and when they saw me, they stop and bow them. I smiled at them and gesture them to continue what they're doing. I wear an apron and started baking every sweet I know. The first thing I want to do is chocolate cookies! They're simple but tasty.

It was already noon when I'm done baking every sweet I know. Some servants offered me their help and of course I accepted it. I packed them all in a cute bag and I even doodled it with some bunnies hehe. I put each bag in a basket and I immediately walk towards Xino's and Krio's location. I have arrived in front of the Library and I slowly opened it. I saw Xino was reading a book so I knock softly on the door to get his attention. He looks back and his face immediately lighten up. He stands up immediately and ran towards me. He hugs me as soon as he got close to me and of course, I also hug him back.

"My Lady, what are you doing here? Are you here to see me?"

"Yes, I am here to see you. I am disturbing your study? I hope I'm not."

"No, My Lady is not disturbing me. I was just reading some random books."

"Oh, I almost forgot, here, I made you some sweets."

I gave him the bags full of sweets and his eyes immediately sparkle. I laugh softly by his reaction and that makes his face becomes red immediately. I ruffled his hair and told him that I'm also giving his father some sweets so he can wait me. I immediately excused myself and walk towards the training ground. When I have arrived there, I saw him doing a sparring with a knight. He looks so cools, especially the way he sways his sword, like as if it's not that heavy and like as if it is made of paper. It feels like I'm fan girling here, I only need a banner and light stick to make me look like a proper fan girl. He suddenly stops swaying his sword and everything happened so fast that I just realized that I'm currently being held by Krios. Eh? What happened? I look at where I was standing and I saw a sword stuck on the floor. My eyes immediately widen by what I saw and if Krios haven't save me, I would be dead by now. My body trembled by the thought of dying and if I died, who will take care of Xino now? How can Krios find happiness if I'm dead? I don't like that; I don't want to leave them. Krios help me sit down and I can still feel my legs trembling in fear. I was lost in thoughts that I didn't feel that Krios was shaking me and calling my name.

"Liliana! Liliana! Hey! Liliana! Can you hear me?!"

As soon as I heard him calling my name, I immediately cried. I cried like a child in his arms. The thought of leaving his side so early makes me sad. I don't want to leave his side, there's still a lot of things I want to do and thinking that I can't do all of it without Krios makes me cry more.

"Waaahh! No! I don't want to die! I still have a lot of things I want to do with Krios and Xino!"

I cried like a child in his arms and I calm down after a few seconds. Krios pull me away from his hug and swipe the tears from my eyes. I was calming down a little when I look at the floor and saw that the cookies I made for him has crumbled into pieces. I can feel my eyes get wetter and I cried again like a child.

"No!! the sweets that I made!"

I held it and cried. These sweets, I made them for him, for Krios but how can I give this to him when it becomes crumbled into pieces. Krios pulled the bag of crumbled cookies from my hand and he open it. He pours the crumbled sweets into his mouth and eat them all. My eyes widened by his actions and he finish them all, leaving not a single piece. He looks at me and kneel in front of me.

"Don't cry over some small things. Also you're not going to die, as long as you're with me, no harm shall fall to you."

I can feel that his words are sincere and I felt a sense of relief by listening to it. Now that I have calmed down, I feel like all of my energy has been drained and I can't stop myself from falling asleep. Before I close my eyes, I felt a hand catch me and say my name in a gentle way.

I feel a warm hand caressing my face and it feel good. I open my eyes and saw someone is sitting in front of me but I can't clearly see his face because my vision is still blurry. When my vision becomes clearer, the guy in front of me cover my eyes. I was about to say something but he cuts me off.

"No, don't look."

That voice belongs to Krios and as soon as I realize that Krios took off his mask, my eyes widened and took off his hands but it was too late. He is already wearing his mask and I pout because I missed the chance to see his face. Like seeing his face was one of my goal and it was in front of me but I missed it. I was in deep thought about his face when I remembered what happened earlier. I look at him and I smile at him because he deserves it.

"Krios, thank you for saving my life."

I crawl towards him and kiss the top of his mask. I smile at him but my face immediately turns red when I realize what I did. I crawl back but he pulls my hand and I landed on his chest. I can feel him smelling my hair and planting small kisses on top of my head. Is this the Krios I know? Why is he suddenly becoming like this? I though he hates me because of the wrong doing the old Liliana did.

"I don't know what happened or what is the reason why you're acting like this but should I give it a try?"

I froze in place by what he said and I was about to reply when the door suddenly open and I saw Xino's worried face. As soon as he saw me, he ran towards me and jump to hug me. Xino started to cry and I pat his back to make him calm down.

"Hush now baby, I'm fine, look at me, I'm completely fine."
