This uncontrollable rain began as the wind blew stronger and the sky turned gloomy, the day had been beautiful until the moment the sun bid goodbye to everyone. The breeze's whisper in the air gives a cool sensation to their bodies. The blue shade of the sky is slowly turning into dark grey. Large gloomy clouds made their way toward the Orphanage. The peaceful breeze of air became aggressive as a translucent liquid starts dripping from the death-warmed sky.

The two of them stand there, eyes glued to each other. Rhysand's collar was completely confined in Kiha's tightened fist. Her usually calm posture gave in for a second ago. That was when she realized how tight her hand was. After collecting herself, she released Rhysand's collar before grabbing the parole in his hand.

“What’s wrong with you? Your face is red and your hand is hot. You must be sick.” Kiha’s innocent voice repeated in his mind. She’s looking at her as if she’s looking at someone to who he paid attention. As if she cares about him.

“Nothing. . .” The young Grand Duke said as his eyes never leave Kiha’s. Just as Rhysand said, there is nothing wrong with him as no one will be able to beat the S-rank wizard but a wizard with a higher rank, that is the head of the wizard tower.

Raphael Mitchell, a young wizard that holds the rank of n-rank, which is the highest rank in the wizard class. And he is the only one that can defeat the almighty Rhysand Grimaldi that everyone in the Eleanor Empire commends.

It was said that the guy was brought to the west tower where the monster resides. Unlike the said shield of the Empire, Hadassah, Raphael was a child of the dragon and not a human. He was called the “Dragon’s King.”

“Then, we should go in now, come young master!” Kiha pulled him as soon as she said that words. It took her as if a decade to bring him in as he’s too strong for Kiha.

Rhysand notices how Kiha is trying hard to pull him and so he brought her hand his and fastens his steps, gently pulling her. The parole on Kiha’s hand was covering her body but not Rhysand’s. He’s too tall and she can’t even see his hair well.

“It’s cold, right? You should take a quick shower or change clothes.” Kiha said without even looking at him. She doesn’t even hold his hand but rather just lets him hold hers. There’s no rush in his stomach unlike what the other ladies feel every time they got touched by their loved ones, that is why she considers this as good news.

“How nice of you, Lady Kiha. You should at least change your dress too as it’s too cold to bath and I don’t think they have a pile of woods today for the hot water.” He explained, without looking at her as well. The two of them continued walking while talking without even noticing how relaxed they are with each other.

Kiha’s reason for liking Rhysand is because she felt relaxed and he somehow resemble someone she emotionally long to see. And there’s no reason for Rhysand to like a woman like Kiha, she’s known for being harsh and a bully, but still, Men are mesmerized by her unique beauty. Unlike the angelic beauty of Elaina, Kiha is known for having a face that none of the other ladies possessed.

It wasn’t even called a beauty from God but from the Underworld Queen, Ravana. Her burning irises were said to be carved by Ravana as well as her face, and body. That’s why she became the daughter of the powerful wizard, Hadassah that was also known for being the daughter of Ravana’s husband and a human.

“I’m strong, but thank you,” Kiha warmly said as that was the first time she hear someone say that to her and it was Rhysand, her first love. Just like her smile when she was still an innocent child, she moved his heart without even knowing.

Just then, a colorful palette came into view. ‘A rainbow in the middle of the typhoon?’ she thought as she looked up at the sky.

Several liquids dripped on her face, it was the rain. Instead of making a fuss, Kiha smiled at him before looking back and forth at the orphanage and the sky. As if she wants to call them and let them suspect the beauty of the rainbow. But she can’t. The rain was still heavy and it’s dangerous for kids to be wandering outside while raining so hard.

“What am I doing? We need to go in.” Realizing how excited she is, she shook her head vigorously before walking again. Kiha’s been talking and it’s awkward but she can’t help it, unlike the day they share the same carriage, she just can’t keep her mouth today.

Ezequiel who’s been waiting outside slowly walk toward them as he realized they’re done talking to each other. He covers her head using the parole on his hand and drapes a blanket on her shoulder. The other servant help Rhysand as they made their way inside the orphanage.

“Thank you, Zeke.” She patted his shoulder before moving to another room. The girl near her escorted Kiha to the guest room as she need to change clothes. Kalen throws the towel on Rhysand and hastily flop on the couch.

“Warm yourself with this,” One of the servants said, it was the girl from earlier. After that, she leaves the room without even bowing her head.

“That girl’s fierce,” Luriel said as walked toward the door to peek at the hallway. Children’s loud voices reverberated in the room from the hallway as the children are playing with each other.

“Stop playing, Rhys. Stop the rain too.” Kalen mumbled before looking at his friend. Rhysand’s lips curl in amusement. They knew it was him from the start. Not only did he pour rain, but he also created a rainbow. That’s one of the powers of the high-ranking wizard and Kiha doesn’t know that.

“I’m enjoying it though.” He shrugs before laying down on the sofa. It was comfy and warm at the same time.

“You’re inviting trouble, Rhysand.” Kalen’s tone became serious as what he’s talking about is also true. Forming a rain and creating a rainbow is not prohibited but it will bring trouble to the person who created those. It’s bad, it will be a visit from the head and a small notice.

“Well, it’s no big deal.” Rhysand retort. There was once a rumor that Rhysand was competing with Raphael for the next head of the tower and it only becomes Raphael because Rhysand chose to be a swords master but there is no comment from the two and soon the news died and it became an unsolved rumor.

“Raphael Mitchell is a big deal.”

This time, it was Luriel who speak. Just like Kalen, his tone is cold and authoritative. As a fellow wizard, Luriel worships the guy for being the best wizard in this generation. Not only that, but it was also because Raphael was personally taught by Hadassah the legendary shield of the Empire.

“You know Raphael Mitchell?” It was Kiha. Her dress has the same design as the previous one but in a different color. The way she opens the door can be called elegant itself. For everyone in the room, Kiha was the epitome of elegance and no one can be against that.

“Can I know where to find him?” Kiha asked as she strode toward the Crown Prince, Luriel who’s looking at him. It was her first time hearing about this mysterious guy, Raphael Mitchell and it happened to be Luriel and Rhysand’s colleague.

“Why? Do you know him?” Luriel asked, brows knotted. He put his arms on his chest before leaning against the wall. He looked at Kiha again before letting out a heavy sigh, Kiha’s determination is visible in her eyes and it makes them tell her everything they know about the guy.

“Raphael Mitchell is the head of the wizard tower, in short, she’s Hadassah’s disciple. He’s a high-ranking wizard like her. The N-rank, the rumor has it that it was the highest rank among the wizard circle.” Looking straight into his eyes, Kiha crosses her arms on her chest, nodding to every information he spouts.

“You will definitely find him at the west tower, he grew up there,” Rhysand added. He’s wearing new clothes but his hair is a mess. “I don’t, it’s just I saw his name somewhere. Anyway, I’m going to find him, thank you for the information.”
