Strange woman

I woke up feeling better than before. The pain was still there but it was more bearable. I ordered a nurse to get me breakfast and the rest of the day went like the one before. I tried to walk but ended up breaking my nose because of falling hard on the cold tiled floor. The next two days went by. These two days might have been the worse days of the life of Alyssa Rosewood if not for Kyle. He was really cool and we would get along a lot.

"When will I be dismissed, Kyle?" I asked.

"Why? Is my company really that bad?" He asked chuckling.

"No, I swear. You're one of the coolest guys I've ever met. It's just that I am getting bored of staying in bed all day." I said.

"Well, you'll be dismissed the day after tomorrow. It really depends on how fast you recover. Lucky for you physical training will start tomorrow." He said.

"That's good. Does Scarlet have magical abilities like you?" I asked wondering.

"No, I am her half brother." He said.

"So, you're an illegitimate child?" I asked even though I knew it was wrong to ask.

"Pretty much. Go to sleep now." He said standing up.

"It's not even night. I haven't had dinner yet.." I said, hoping he'd stay a little longer.

"I'll get Cara to get you dinner. After eating go to sleep." He said leaving the room.

"Why do you never stay...?" I said, knowing he wouldn't be able to hear it. I didn't know why I said that. It just felt right.

I moved to the side and tried to get my notebook. I grabbed it and started writing. I always wrote certain points about Kyle, Nicottis, Henry and Demetrius's behavior. I tried to figure out who was the main male lead. How come I didn't remember the male lead of the novel?

A part of me was sure that it most likely wouldn't be Henry as he had feelings for Kate. He had told me about them recently. I think Kate also has feelings for Henry but doesn't admit it. I had a lot of time before the main female lead, Lily arrives as she arrives in the middle of the term second year. I think she was adopted by one of the other three main families. I think it was Kate's family but I am not sure.

What if I die? No, I can't and I won't. Too many people have died for me in my past life. I will do anything to live. Life is all I need and all I want.

The next morning, I woke up early feeling excitement all over. Today was the day, my physical training would start. I took a bath earlier with the help of maids. I had breakfast in bed like usual. I noticed Kyle hadn't gone to his classes.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be attending classes?" I asked.

"I have Madam Eloise's permission to skip today's classes. Today is a big day. Remember?" He said. He was looking out of the window looking as beautiful as ever. His golden rimmed glasses reflected the sunlight.

"How can I forget? So when are we starting?" I asked.

"I'm just waiting for Quinn to come. She said she would help me." He answered while smiling.

"So, is Quinn someone special? You seem to be pretty happy. Huh?" I said, raising my eyebrows.

He laughed and answered, "She is like an older sister to me. Why do you ask? Are you perhaps... What do they call it? 'Jealous'?" He asked.

"Why would I be jealous? You are Scarlet's brother. So technically you are my brother too." I said smiling at him.

Just then a woman with long black hair tied in a ponytail came in. She was the same height as Kyle. She wore a white shirt with a black skirt. She was wearing a black jacket and the name 'Quinn' was written on the badge.

"Hello, Kyle and...?" She said looking at me.

"Alyssa Rosewood, nice to meet you, Lady Quinn." I said trying to sound respectful as the woman seemed to be older than me. She seemed to be eighteen or nineteen. She had an extremely fit body with large breasts and a perfect hourglass body. I felt slightly jealous of her beauty but compared to her Alyssa's body was way prettier.

"No need to be so formal." She said smiling.

"I'll leave you to it, Miss Quinn. She is a case 3.4. Take care!" He said leaving.

"Ohh, you poor girl." She said hugging me. Her hug almost suffocated me to death.

"Kyle is so cool. He is two and a half years younger than me yet he's in charge of this whole tower and he also attends the Royal Academy." She said. Her eyes sparkling as she said so.

"Do you perhaps like him?" I asked.

"No, I like older and stronger men but I do admire him for his beauty and wisdom." She said slightly going red.

I found her reaction strange but then I remembered that these were the middle ages of this fantasy world although they were better than the middle ages in my world, they were still not the best. The killing of baby girls wasn't a thing but child marriage, arranged marriage and forced marriage were a thing. Women were expected to wear dresses and high heels though there were exceptional cases.

Girl's education was a thing and although it was only common among the rich. There were three years at the Royal Academy for girls but four for boys because there were more subjects for males including horse riding, fencing, defense and offense, hunting and archery. Other than that subjects such as finance were taught more immensely. So that meant Demetrius and Henry would graduate from the academy the same year as me even though they were in a class older than me.

"Ouch!" I yelped as Quinn flicked her finger on my forehead.

"I'm sorry. I tried calling your name a couple times but you wouldn't respond." She said looking at me.

"No, it's okay. I was just thinking about how I missed the first week of school." I said quickly making up an excuse.

"Ahh, okay. Then shall we go to the training grounds for the training?" She asked and I nodded obediently like a little child.
