Twisted Fate of the Knight

New Home

"Ash! Slow down. I'm sorry!" I shouted since we are at high speed so I hold him tight.

'What did you say?' He said acting like he didn't hear it.

"I said, slow down! I'm sorry!" I shouted near his ears so he suddenly stopped and I flew in front.

"Ouch! That's hurt!?" I said when I get up because I was on my knees and looked in front of me since I saw hands so I looked at whose hand it is and it was none other than Ash in human form.

"I told you that don't touch my ears," He said as he helped me get up.

"It's your fault," I said as I shook the dirt off my clothes.

"It's not. Let's go since we are near," He said as he picks up my bag which also flew.

"Whatever," I said and walked too.

...

"Welcome Home, Sir Avy," They greeted us when we were in front of the house.

"This way sir Avy," they said to Ash as they took the item he was carrying so Ash and I looked at each other puzzled since we were surprised what's happening.

"Wai--" I stopped when they suddenly separated us and took Ash upstairs while he was being dragged and they took me to the guest room.

"Sir Ian is waiting in the dining room so we should clean you up," They said as they dragging me into the room and the bathwater is ready.

"Stop, stop. I can do it and just wait outside," I said because they were planning to bathe me so I let them out and fortunately they did not insist on helping me.

"The hell was what that," I said while bathing because they have mistaken me for a guest, and Ash has mistaken him as me. Well, it does not matter.

"Sir? Are you done?" They asked me when I was changing so I hurried since they might open it.

"Yes," I said, as I open the door,

"This way to the dining room," She said as she leads me to the dining room.

"Thank you," I said as I went into the dining room,

"How was your room?" Ian asks me when I already seated beside Ian and Ash was in front of me. Miraculously these two are not arguing since they don't like each other especially when Ash stops him.

"It's nice, how about you Ash?" I ask him so he turned to me since he was facing the right side where he can't Ian's face.

"It's okay but I much more like it to stay beside you," He said.

"What?! You two sleeping in one room?!" He asks us with his bothered face and Ash smirk at him. D*mn, they are starting again.

"Yes, and she really likes me to hug," He said as he teasing Ian so Ian's aura darkened.

"Really? Avy, don't you dare let in this beast in your room," He said as he looks at me with his darkened face.

"Y~yes," I answered since he looks scary while smiling so I can't refuse it.

"Why are you deciding that?" Ash said as he looks at Ian seriously. The two of them stared at each other as if there is a thunder clashing as they looked at each other's eyes.

"It's not your business," Ian answered him with a smirk on his face while Ash is grinning as if they were competing for something.

"Ahm, can we eat?" I said since I was hungry so they both looked at me. Ian rings the bell then the maids went in with the food and serve it.

"You should eat well, Avy," He said to me. 

"Yes, you too," I answered and looked at the food in front of me.

We started eating and fortunately, they also ate quietly. I saw Ian's favorite so I put on his plate so they both looked at me with their face is wondering. I just smiled at them as I continue eating as if nothing happen and I saw Ian smiled as he eats the food I put on his plate. 

"By the way, Avy, tomorrow morning I will introduce you to the staff," He said after wiping his mouth.

"Okay," I said as I wipe my mouth even though I didn't even do that.

"You can go now and rest," He said as he stood up and leave the dining room since his butler, I think, came in a while ago as he whispers something to Ian so I think something is up. Well, it's not my business but I don't want to interfere with his work.

"Let's go, Ash," I said to Ash who is still seated while a gloomy aura around him so I patted his head to console him as I chuckled.

"I don't like him," He said so I laughed even more at what he said because he looked like a child who did not want a playmate.

"I know," I said as I pull him since I will get my things from his room since they took that with Ash earlier.

"Where is your room?" I asked him when we got out of the dining room since I don't know where is his room that supposedly my room but it's alright as long as I have a room is enough.

"Are you going to sleep with me?" He said as his face brightens up when I ask him that but I feel like his statement says something else.

"No, did you forget that Ian told me not and I am going to get my thing, you i***t," I said to him and he lost his smiles because of what I said. He looks like a dog begging for his owner to woo him and was about to cry so I turned his face away from me.

"Don't you want to be sleep to me, do you?" He said while looking at me with his puppy eyes.

"N~no, it's not like that but we can't break his condition since we are here in his house so it's better to follow it," I said while not looking at him since he acts so cute that it is hard to refuse him.

"Why? He will not know if I sneak into your room, right?" He said, and I can see his tail is waving with his excitement so I make face because I can't take his cuteness.

"Still, no. Let's go to your room now," I said so his excitement lost when he looked at me before walking first. 'What do I do? He looks so sad?' I said in my mind after seeing him so down because I rejected him.

I just quietly followed him and he also just walked quietly. He stopped at a door and opened it as he looks at me from sad to happy since he was smiling at me. 

"You will sleep with me, Master~~," He said as he pulled me into the room as closed it immediately as he clings to me.

"Let me go, Ash," I said with a bored expression since he was hugging me from the back. I restrain myself to hurt him so I didn't move.

"No, I can't sleep without you," He said while still hugging me so I hit him using my elbow from behind so that he let go as I face him.

"What are you a kid?" I said before I get my bag that was laying on the floor.

"Master," He said with his soft voice as if he was begging me not to leave him so I faced him and he was in his wolf form.

"Fine, I'll stay for a bit," I said since I can't refuse him when he was acting cute and pitiful as I hugged him since he was so fluffy. His face brightens up again when I said that.

'You can sleep here since it was enough for us and it was way bigger,' He said as he jumps into the bed so I just followed and sat on the bed.

"No, I'll be staying here until you fall asleep then leave," I said.

'Fine,' He said as he sleeps on my lap

"Then, sleep," I said since he was still awake even though he is in my lap as his pillows.

'I thought you will wait for me to sleep?' He said like a child. I don't know if he is a child or not since he was mature sometimes but then he is also childish like now. 

"Okay, fine, take your time," I said as I pat his head so that he will go to sleep already since I am sleepy too.

Meanwhile...

"Sir Ian, I saw Sir Avy pulls his companion to his room while saying 'You will sleep with me, Master~~, ' when I accidentally saw them awhile ago," He said to Ian. 

"What?" He said as he clenched his fist as he stood up in his chair. 

"I don't mean to tell you but as you said Sir Avy is a family so--" He stops talking when he saw that Ian is not anymore in front of him since he was bowing when Ian said 'what' as he looks at Ian went out of the room.

Ian went to Avy's room which is the room of Ash who they mistakenly as Avy. He opened the door and he looked at the bed where he saw Avy cuddling Ash who is in his wolf form.

"..."

~~

I feel like I am floating so I open my eyes and I saw Ian's jaw. Wait... What?!.. Ian is holding me?! D*mn, did he went to Ash's room? I'm doomed?! 

"You're awake," He said so I looked at him because I did not notice that he was looking at me while I was thinking what would I tell a reason with him since he saw me sleeping with Ash that I did not realize I was sleeping there.

"Yes, you can put me down. I will be going back to my room," I said nervously since he might be annoyed since he looks so serious.

"..." He didn't answer but he still walking while carrying me with a bridal style which makes me blush since now I only realized how he lifted me.

"I'm sorry," I said as I look down, geez. I feel like he is angry since he didn't talk.

"You sleep here," He said when he lowered me to the bed without me realizing that we had entered a room but I am sure that this is not my room.

"This is not my room," I said since this room is much bigger and its interior is amazing because it's simple but you can't help but be impressed by its beauty. I can say that this room is the preference of Ian... wait... don't tell me this is his room? so I looked at him when I realized it was his room since it smells like him.

"It is my room," He said as he sips to his wine and seated on the sofa as he looks at me.

"Then, what is the difference between sleeping here and Ash," I said as he just looked at me in a blank expression.

"I am safer than him and you know me since we were a kid," He said, well he has a point and I trusted him so I'm okay as long as I can sleep in a bed.

"Well, yeah. Then, good night," I said as I yawn and lay down on the bed since it's so soft.

I woke up when someone woke me up and I look at Ian. "Wake up, Avy," He said as he wears his coat.

"What time it is?" I said as I rub my eyes and yawning.

"7 am. Breakfast is already served so get up if you don't want to be late," He said as he goes out of the room so I got up and washed since there was a basin here. I left his room and went to the dining room and saw those who took care of us yesterday who were outside. They looked at me so I stopped because suddenly they all looked at me.

"We are sorry, Sir Avy," They said in unison as they bow down their heads. I was surprised since it doesn't matter to me as long as I have a room.

"It's okay, you guys don't have to do that," I said as I scratch the back of my head and they looked at me smiling with a teary-eyes as they commented 'he really does a relative of Sir Ian', 'we are happy to serve you, Sir Avy,' and such.

"Please take care of me," I said to them before I went inside the dining room.

"Good morning, Ash," I said when I saw Ash but his aura is gloomy so I approach him and give him a pat on his head and seated beside him.

"Morning," He said as if he was not satisfied with my holding his head but I just smiled at him. He sighed before he looked at me since he didn't look at me when I greeted him.

We ate quietly and left at the same time since Ian went to the Palace while I and Ash went to Collins State. I notice that Ash has eyebags when he looked at me and didn't have enough sleep. It is true that he did not sleep last night so I felt sorry for him but I can't let him sleep with me since Ian will get angry.

Arriving at Collins State, I did my usual job since Lady Miary doesn't have an appointment so I was in charge of the training of Collins knight. I let Ash sleep in my room but he does want to so he was sleeping near the training ground so I can see him there.

"Did you get enough sleep?" I asked him when we were leaving Collins state.

'Yes,' He answered.

"That's great," I said with a concerned voice tone.

We arrive at Ian's house and I went straight to my room to change clothes and since Ian was not there Ash and I ate first. Ash sneaks into my room when we go back to our rooms awhile ago and he came from the window. I was even surprised when someone knocked on my windows and it was just him. I let him in as he went straight to my bed as if it is his bed since he was in his wolf form kaya okay lang.

"You should get up early tomorrow if we don't want to be discovered," I said to him before I stepped aside from him.

'No problem, Master,' He said as he waving his tails.

"By the way, we need to go to the --"
