214 Ch. 214 'Niken's Confusion'

Kazuto's sister was stunning. Her hair color was as black as Kazuto's, and her skin was white like snow. Her lips were red as a pomegranate, and her eyes shone like a galaxy.

Niken was very sure she had never met that woman, but why did she feel that she had seen her at the same time?

The longer she tried to dig into her memories to remember where she had seen Kazuto's sister, the more erratic her heartbeat became.

Kazuto caught on to the strange change in his inamorata's beating heart, which made him couldn't help but worry.

"Niken, are you okay? Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?"

But Niken couldn't hear Kazuto's voice because her mind succeeded in opening something she had just locked up.

Now Niken knew how did her hand got injured. She has traveled the time-space and gone into the past. In her time traveling this time, she saw Kazuto's sister welcoming her son home and…

Kazuto killed her.

Kazuto killed his sister? His own sister?

Without realizing it, Niken shifted away from Kazuto.

"Niken?" Kazuto was very worried and pushed to break into Niken's mind cell to find out what was in the girl's mind.

But Niken managed to shut him out with her magic power making him unable to enter.

Niken's magic cultivation was currently higher than him, so he wouldn't be able to read Niken's mind through mind-linking once Niken blocked him.

"Niken. Tell me, what happened to you? Are you feeling sick? "

Kazuto moved closer to Niken with both hands raised, but Niken instead stepped back, avoiding the man's touch.

"Niken?"

"Kazuto, how did your sister die?" Niken ventured to ask. Her heart trembled with fear waiting for the answer that would come out of the man's mouth.

She really hoped that it wasn't Kazuto who killed his own sister. Niken genuinely believed that the cause of this fine woman's death was not because of her lover.

"…"

Niken was getting restless because Kazuto didn't immediately answer her question. This silence made her even more suspicious that what she saw was indeed a reality she couldn't change.

"D...did you…" Niken didn't know if she could face this reality, but she couldn't back down either. "Did you kill her?"

Kazuto's pair of eyes widened at the guess of his inamorata. Then the man's eyes became cloudy and sad.

"Did... you see it in the past?"

Niken gasped at the man's question.

Kazuto knew that Niken has the ability to travel time. It was not difficult for him to guess that Niken had gone past and saw him kill his sister with his own hands.

"I did kill her."

Niken could not understand after all, how did her lover... how could anyone have the heart to hurt his own sibling—even killing her with his hands?

Niken grew up with Richard, and she loved her brother very much. She was sure that Richard also loved her because they both protected each other and wished for the best for each other's happiness.

That's why Niken didn't understand why Kazuto had the heart to kill his family members. No matter what kind of reason, that man shouldn't have killed her.

Niken felt as if her stomach was being shaken, making her want to vomit right away. She did not think that the person she loved was someone who doesn't have a heart.

She couldn't accept the fact that she was in love with a monster.

Unable to stand being in the same room as the man, Niken turned and walked out of the greenhouse.

Kazuto looked down limply, accompanied by the white Alpha cub, who rubbed his head against Kazuto's feet to comfort him.

Niken walked into the forest opposite Kazuto's house. With the information she was currently receiving, she didn't want to return to that house.

She needed time to be alone. Niken needed time to calm her shaken heart. Only, she didn't know if she could accept the fact that the man she loved was a murderer?

She remembered Flynn's advice when she was about to go to Beast country. Flynn warned her not to give Kazuto all her heart and soul.

Before this, Niken felt sure she had given everything to Kazuto. But now, she realized. She didn't entirely give the man her heart and soul.

Just now, just hearing and seeing Kazuto killing his family members, Niken was shaken.

If that man could hurt his dear sister, wouldn't that mean that man could kill Niken too?

Thinking about this made her remember the incident where Kazuto killed her brother with a flying sword.

At that time, Aqua managed to convince her that what she saw was backlashing due to her ability to manipulate someone's memory.

But now, Niken felt that what she saw then was not an illusion. But the reality that will happen.

Niken didn't know the exact time, but she knew their fight would occur after Kazuto had his magic-circle breakthrough.

No one knows how long Niken walked into the forest until she realized she had lost. Niken knew she was lost, and she should have panicked, but strangely she didn't care anymore.

Let her get lost as long as she doesn't come back to meet her lover.

Niken walked to the most massive tree and sat there with her legs stretched out and leaning her back against the tree.

She closed her eyes while remembering her memories of when she met Kazuto for the first time.

At that time, she was instantly wonderstruck when she saw Kazuto in her class. And when her eyes met Kazuto's eyes for the first time, Niken felt herself being sucked into the vast ocean.

She felt a magnetic attraction pulling her body toward the man.

Her relationship with that man was normal until she found out that she was an Elementalist knight's inamorata. She also remembered how happy she was when she found out that Kazuto was the very same knight who claimed her.

Niken remembered all the actions of this man, full of love and concern for her. Throughout this time, she never thought that man could kill someone just like that because that man's aura did not indicate someone who could mercilessly kill.

Even though Kazuto sometimes showed a domineering and scary impression, that man never hurt the people around him.

That's why Niken couldn't bear to accept the fact that Kazuto was capable of killing his own sister.

Or was it possible that guy did have an inevitable reason?

But what kind of reason? Even though Kazuto's sister had made a fatal mistake to deserve the death penalty, Kazuto shouldn't be the one who sentenced the poor woman to death.

Besides, the woman did not seem like a bad person to Niken, making her even more convinced that her tragic death should not have happened.

After pondering what she wanted to do, Niken decided to talk to Kazuto. It wouldn't be fair to the man if she didn't let the man explain.

Even though Niken felt sure that whatever reason Kazuto gave her would not change her view of the man, at least Niken had given him a chance to speak.

Niken got up and tried to find a way back to Kazuto's place. She also left her cell mind open so Kazuto could hear her voice.

But before Niken had time to call Kazuto through her mind-linking, someone appeared blocking her path.

"We meet again."

Just as Niken was about to ask where they met, her eyelids felt heavy, and intense drowsiness assaulted her.

Brugh!

Niken fell unconscious and did not know what would happen next.
