Twisted Fate of the Knight

Result and.... Relationship?!

I think I need to finish this as soon as possible because my mana nearly drains and I'm tired of feeling like I can't last long with the rest mana. I think Gin also thinking of finishing this session since based on how he breathes shows that he's at his limits.

"Can you still fight?" I ask him because he has not yet risen from where he was seating, then I got up and got ready to finish this session since I am hungry already.

"Of course, after all, no one has won over us yet," he said as he stands up from the ground.

"Yeah, I agree so let's settle the fight now since I am hungry already," I said because earlier my stomach was growling because of hunger.

He stood up and got ready to fight. A few more minutes passed before we both rushed and attacked, where it is my last blow with my mana since we have been exchanging attacks for some time. He notices that I use my all mana with this attack so I think he will do the same thing with our last cross swords. We both put our mana in this attack and we both resisted every attack. None of us wants to let go of our blow with our wooden swords crash to each other and only the mana maintaining its shape.

Because of the impact of our mana collided we both flew away from each other. I tried to stand up and he did the same but when we approached the middle we both fell down.

"I'm surprised that you are able to spar me, now. You did a good job, Gin." I said while looking at the sky and then I turned to him and smiled.

"Thank you. Well, it's your training regime after. I cannot afford to fail your expectations to me." He said as he looks at me.

"It should be because you are next to me that it is better for you to be stronger or to surpass me. I am expecting something greater from you." I said and I laughed and I said we ate first.

"I can't promise but I will do my best, Sir Avy." He said to me even though you can read his expressions that he has questions.

We got up and accompanied each other as we go out from the training ground because we both can't stand well. Our colleagues cheered because they would not be sparring with me. They immediately greeted and supported us when Sofie suddenly pulled me away from Gin and he said he would take care of me. That is why they all looked at us as well as Lady Miary who was sitting earlier stood up and you can see the shock on her face that she did not expect Sofie's move.

I whispered to her why she suddenly appeared and she looked at me badly, kind of saying 'you already know what it is.'-look. That's why I just smiled and told my colleagues to let me go to Sofie so they were even more surprised that their expressions are priceless. I don't have a choice since Sofie becomes protective of me when she found out I was a woman. So, I don't have the will to resists since she will reveal my true gender to Lady Miary if I didn't follow her. 

Sofie helps me walk inside to change and at the same time to eat my early dinner since it's nearly evening or I should say just a few minutes to have dinner too. We left them dumbfounded since they didn't expect me to agree right away when I am so cold with everyone except for Lady Miary and I didn't give a damn with maids or Lady that's why my actions are new to them as well as to Lady Miary. Well, I don't have any choice since Sofie already knows my gender so I just followed her. It is better for them to think there is something in us than they know my true gender though I am not into girls, I'll just bear with it. However, I don't think I'm into guys too although I really like guys in the games that I played before so I didn't think in real life or now that I am actually meet them. In case I really don't like this story, that's why I didn't really give any interest so I don't find them attractive but I am curious about the Duke's son who is missing and found in the middle of the story.

I am done with my dinner in my room since I refuse to eat with Lady Miary and Duke Collins for them to have their time as daughter and father moment. Sofie is serving her Grace of course, after she escorted me back to my room. I sat in front of my mirror and looking at my appearance with my hair longer, I really look like a woman here. I suddenly hold my hair because I have never let my hair get longer since I pretended to be a man and I miss having long hair since originally in my previous life I have long curly hair. 

I said previous life since I am now sure that I am already dead or in a coma since I remembered my mom has plans after dinner and she will be staying there for 3 days in her friend's house. So, I am not sure if I survive or not. I just recently remembered those that's why I don't know if I can come back or not but what I have in mind now is to get the notebook since there are all the important events that will take place here. Since I have to survive from the Crown Princess and enjoy life here in the book.

How I wish to have long hair again and dress comfortably without thinking someone will kill me since I want to reveal my true self with Lady Miary and everyone else in the Collins but not now until the Crown Princess Ryah is gone because I will only be doomed. Her obsessiveness is a pain in the a*s. So, for now, I will make sure that the story will be finished as soon as possible so that I can live peacefully after on.

I looked at my door because there was a knock so I stood up and opened it. I did not expect Lady Miary and Sofie so I do not know if I will let them in or not because my room is messy and my belongings are scattered and I have not been able to hide the bandage I removed earlier since I use a new one now. I look at Sofie as if I'm begging her not to let her Grace go inside and she nodded. So, she asks Lady Miary to wait in her room after I greeted her that's why she couldn't do anything because she might be rumored about something else if they saw her enter my room. She just told to me to follow to her room since they already used to know that I, her grace, and Sofie was there in her room and they knew we had been together for a long time but it is still unavoidable that they have something to say so sometimes we avoid always talking in her room.

She looks serious when she told me to follow her. I don't remember that I did something wrong to her so why do I feel that I will be scolded for something that I didn't know. We just walked quietly as I tried to talk to Sofie what Lady Miary was up to but Sofie just shrugged her shoulders to say that she also did not know and she whispered earlier that Lady Miary was like that already. So we just followed her and was silent because she suddenly looked at us seriously when she caught me asking Sofie again.

We are already here in her room and she seated on the sofa that's why I don't know what to do because she just looked at the two of us for how many minutes before she spoke and made the two of us sit in front of her. We seated in front of her and I don't know why does she like us to seat down especially Sofie since I'm okay but Sofie is not so I'm a little nervous.

"So, when did it start?" she asks us so we looked at each other clueless as we both looked at her Grace back.

"Huh?" we asked her at the same time because I don't get her and so does Sofie.

"Both of you, don't play dumb on me?!" she said in a serious voice or mostly like an authoritative tone so we both sat down properly.

"What do you mean, Lady Miary?" I ask her and Sofie just nodded because she was nervous.

"Ugh. your relationship ?! of course," she said as she frowned at the two of us. That's why Sofie and I both looked at each other.

"We just fri---/ Ah, that we are sorry that we hide it from you since you said to me way back that you will not allow me to escort Sofie back then," I told her as I overlapped the answer of Sofie so she looked at me puzzled.

"Oh, that's why. I'm sorry about that. I didn't know that both of you like each other. Now that I think you never give a damn with other maids." she said as she was on the verge of crying or not since she's smiling while she has tears in her cheeks. I did not know if I would be happy or if she no longer believed the lie I told.

"It's okay since you just said that because you treat Sofie as your precious friend. I- we should be the ones to say sorry for keeping it from you. " I said that's why she seemed even more touched by what I said while she was wiping her tears. Sofie looks at me as she whispering to me 'what are you talking about?' so I said I will explain to her later and she nodded.

"It's okay, Avy since I know you will not hurt her but don't hide it anymore. Both of you should refrain from being too intimate as much as possible since it will make me want to look for a partner myself," she said while sniffing so I laughed at the last thing she said.

"I think it will never- ha-- I mean you can find one," I said because she threw a pillow at my face while she was smiling so I smiled because I might not only be blessed with a pillow.

"I hope I can find one soon," she said while wiping her tears

"You cannot fi--" I stopped talking because Sofie suddenly attacks me with her elbow and looked in front of me and seemed to want to be buried in the ground because Lady Miary seemed ready to kill me with her stares. As if she's saying 'one more unnecessary word coming from your mouth' I will be cut on the neck so I swallowed.

"I mean, you can wait for your someone Lady Miary. Don't look for him instead he will look for you so sit still and wait for the right man." I said so she looked at me in disbelief at what I said though I said it with sincerity. 

"I think that was the best thing I've heard from you," she said while looking at me but I think this is not the only best I said but I let it go. I looked at Sofie and she looked at me too in disbelief that's why I got a facepalm because of the reaction of the two of them because somehow I have something sensible to say.

"Yeah, yeah. So don't look at me like that both of you as if all I say is not inappropriate." I said because of what they think and it's getting awkward.

"Well, mostly." Lady Miary said and Sofie nodded.

"Not you too, Sofie." I said to Sofie because she agreed with Lady Miary.

"Sorry, Avy but I will side lady Miary since I agree with her," she said while saying sorry that's why I can no longer argue with the two of them because they are two vs. me.
