Chapter 261 - Girl in Love (2)

I found the girl, a metre behind her brother, watching me. It wasn't like I could tell him his sister was stalking him this entire time. I decided to keep the others safe, "please stay away from all the other girls. Please don't look at them. Please only think about that precious person in your heart!"

He stumbled a few steps back from my unusual warning as he heavily blushed, "is this a confession?"

I froze as it did totally sound like a confession to him. I could see the girl staring at me with envy as her aura got stronger. This was not good.

"Do you like younger girls?" I shot the girl a glare that I was helping her find out her brother's preferences.

"I don- ."

"Ones with extraordinarily beautiful faces with model-like proportions?" I noticed the girl's aura dimming from the mention of her appearance.

"I'm not sure wh- ."

"How about that someone who loves you to the point they think about you all day? To the point they don't care about your fiancée because their life already revolves around you?" I deserved a medal for my perfect descriptions of her.

"Wouldn't that be a bit- ."

"She loves you. She really does! Nothing else matters in the world," I didn't mention i.n.c.e.s.t.

This was the perfect timing for her to come in and confess. However, she just stayed in her original spot, watching everything unfold in front of her. What was she doing? I was creating that perfect opportunity for her.

"What's happening here?" Luke brightly smiled as he managed to get through the crowd to get to us.

Really, why wasn't she coming out? My jaw almost dropped as she adored his cute blushing face. It was like he took my reference to her as my confession like I was that third person who thought of him all day!

"Your sister! Your younger sister!" I screamed.

Unfortunately, my words were blocked as a sudden breeze whirled around where I was to mute my screams. I clenched my fists as it was totally the girl who manipulated the wind. She did say that her speciality was air.

"He already knows," she sadly drifted towards me.

When the wind died down, the decorations made of fragile glass began to fall onto me. She quickly jumped to escape from the glass as I was a second too late. I slumped onto the ground, squinting from the pain I felt on my ankle. Fortunately, only my ankle seemed to be injured from the falling decorations.

Luke quickly chanted to return everything back to normal as the crowd began murmuring. While Alex started to clean up the rest of the mess, Luke dashed towards me to take a look at my injuries. When I took a closer look, I grimaced as the glass got into a deep part of my vein.

With no hesitation, Luke pulled me into his arms to lift me into a princess carry when he stood up. He efficiently cruised his way through the crowd as he exited the banquet hall to walk to another room in the mansion. When he opened the door, I realized we were in the infirmary.

I was placed on a bed as he got a set of tweezers out to start removing the glass shards. I winced as he began pulling out the glass from my vein. Blood poured down onto my shoes as the cuts were open without something stuck inside them.

Luke opened the cabinet beside the bed, filled with more bottles of medicine like the ones in his mansion. I flinched as he opened the bottle to pour it onto my wounds. Why couldn't he ever give me painkillers for this?

I squeezed his other hand, trying to tolerate the pain. After the bottle was emptied, he started to wrap a bandage that camouflaged onto my skin. This was when I decided I wouldn't be helping her out with her 'romance' anymore. I was only told to watch over her and that was what I was going to do from now on.

"Stay in the infirmary until we go to the next event. We won't be able to rest there as they're planning to officially name us as their successors," Luke finished tending to my wounds.

For once, I didn't mind staying in the infirmary. It was the perfect chance to catch up on my sleep I wasn't able to get during my turn. Luke left to help Alex with the mess the girl created. I laid down on the bed, facing the ceiling, organizing my thoughts.

I flinched when the girl suddenly appeared in front of me. She guiltily looked at my injuries, "I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just hard sometimes, trying to control my powers."

"I know you were trying to help me, but I got a little jealous when I saw you talking to him," she appeared like she was trying to apologize.

"Look. I don't think I can help you anymore," I stared at my ankle.

"It's just that no one deserves my brother as much as I do. There's no one who knows him like I do. Our relationship changed ever since he got engaged to her. He used to only look at me. He stopped patting my head once he entered kindergarten, patting hers instead whenever she whined," she seemed upset.
