I calmed down after who knows how long.

I was resting my head on Spade's chest, my body was so weak that I didn't have the strength to move anymore.. I couldn't complain about how my wounds hurt since my chest was aching more badly than them.

Despite how salty and how tired my eyes were, I was afraid to go back to sleep since I might see him there again.. I don't think I will be able to handle it if I see him again.

I closed my eyes but I tried my best to be awake.

When I entered this world, I met Luke.. my favorite character next to Spade.. I always wanted him as a brother and nothing else but after what happened.. I don't know how to face him anymore.

We hugged, kissed and had sex in my dream.. My dream that he manipulated.

If I knew it was him, I could have stopped my feelings from growing, I could have avoided him.. but it was too late..

He made me feel the love I have never experienced, the love I only red on books, he made me realize my feelings for him in that sweet nightmare.. No wonder he didn't want me to see his face or know his name.. No wonder I couldn't think of his name in my dream..

But that was pointless, all the familiar actions he did point out to him.. The way he teased me.. the way he held me in his arms, it was all too similar. I am not too dumb to not to realize all of these. How could he do that to me? How could he manipulate my feelings and control my dream? It's too much.. it hurts so much.. now I can't see him as my brother.. But I can't have these feelings for him, I can't..

"Violet?" I felt Spade's warm touch on my face as I realized that I was crying again.

I opened my eyes but I didn't look at him. "I.. I'm sorry.. I just couldn't help but remember something.."

He stroked my head. "It's going to be okay."

Ah.. Spade is being kind, why is he treating me like this? He's so gentle.. just like in the game.

The way he stroked my head made me sleepy, I couldn't control it anymore, my eyes are too heavy.

----

I didn't dream of Luke anymore-no, that's not the right words, it should be.. Luke didn't visit my dream anymore.

It was just like what he said back then, if I will find out who he is, he cannot visit my dream again. I think this has something to do to break his spell.

I tried my best not to think of Luke by distracting myself with my etiquette lessons, having this training would help me become a proper queen in the future even if it's against my will, as long as I'm engaged to Alyn, I have to take these lessons.

I cannot love Luke in a romantic way since.. I always wanted him as my brother.

Doing this was harder than I thought.. my heart wouldn't listen with what I want. The ache that I feel in my chest was betraying me.. I was heartbroken.. but I chose to be this way. I chose not to follow my feelings, I don't want to accept him as my lover because I can only accept him as my brother.

Spade, on the other hand, started opening up to me. We started having small conversations but why do I feel.. sad? I should be happy, right? This was my goal, he was the person I planned on loving.

Instead of taking that opportunity to make him mine, I can't help but push him away. I realized that all this time, my feelings for Spade was just someone I admire, someone I can relate to. It wasn't deep, it was just because I saw myself in him that I wanted to save him.. I'm not a saint. I should stop meddling with other's lives.

"Please teach me how to use light magic.." I asked him as we were alone in the music room right now.

"Light magic can only be used by magicians who have an affinity to light."

I unbind my bandages from my arm and showed him a smooth skin, there was no trace of burns there. Whenever I was alone in the bathroom, I took the opportunity to heal my wounds bit by bit although I would still wear the bandages so that no one will know that my wounds were already completely healed. I stopped Hannah from helping me clean my wounds when they were healed by me although she was worried, she can't do anything if I gave her an order.

"How-

"I'm a healer." I need to be honest with him. My light magic is still ranked D. I don't know how to use it because I didn't have any idea on how to do so. The reason why my light magic is in D rank instead of F rank is that of my healing abilities. My water magic was in rank B because back then while I was hanging out with Evelyn before my birthday, she was teaching me how to use water magic.

Earth magic was easy to learn because of the books. Earth magic is the most common magic in this country. So here is my current status right now.

[Name: Violet Brielle Trancy

Rank: B+

Class: Healer

Combat Skill Rank: B-

Magical Attribute Rank: Fire (B), Water (B), Light (D), Earth (B-)

Production Skill Rank: Book Reading (A), Baking (A), Cooking (A), Drawing (B+), Piano (A), Dancing (A), Healing (B+)]

Spade who always have a poker face finally showed an emotion on his face. He was surprised.

If he can teach me light magic then that would help me a lot. It will help me seal Violet away and it will help me whenever Luke will try to manipulate me with his dark magic again.

"Back then, I would go to town and use my healing skills while I was in disguise. I go by the name of Zhou Yiren. I can use fire, water, light, and earth magic. The reason why I'm telling you this is because I need someone to teach me light magic.. And I can see that you are someone I can trust when it comes to this secret of mine."

His handsome face was looking seriously at me. He was quick to understand what I said. This was what I actually like about him, I just need to tell him once and he would already get it.

"I will help you, in one condition."

"What is your condition?" I asked.

He walked towards me and took off his gloves. He held my hand and brought it to his lips. "Be mine."

... My ears.. are they deceiving me right now?

"W-what?"

After what happened to Luke and me, I made sure not to come close to him. I didn't do anything that could make him fall in love with me. We rarely talked with each other.

You see, I decided that it's better for me to be single, it will give me less headache and less heartache. My selfish thoughts for Spade was gone. Back then, I wanted to make him mine because of our similarities but I gave up on that. I decided to leave him alone.

All this time, I maintained my distance from him so how could this happen?

"You were different from those women who disgusts me. Everything about you makes me intrigued. The way you stare at me whenever you look straight at me made my heart shake. Now there's no going back, you have to take responsibility of me. I love you and I want you to be mine. You're the only girl I will accept. I'll make you mine, do you understand?"

Why does this sound familiar? Ah.. this is his famous catchphrase in the game.. wait.. WHAT?! HE'S SAYING THAT TO ME?!

"Violet, do you hear me?"

Yes, I heard you loud and clear. "I am grateful for your feelings towards me.." I paused and tried pulling my hand back from his hold but he just won't let go as he tightened it. "But I cannot reciprocate your feelings, Duke Spade. I have a fiance."

The look he has right now made me shiver, he looked scary with the glare he was giving me.

I flinched upon feeling the pain around my hand, he was holding it so tight that I feel like he was about to crush my poor hand!

"My hand.. it hurts.."

He looked like he realized this since he loosened his hold but he still didn't let go.

The smile he has right now is so beautiful and yet it was so scary.

I saw this one time in the game.. when he got angry at the MC for being too close with other males.

Ah.. he's mad.. But why is he mad?

"Do you love him?"

Gulp.. someone help me. "Yes, I do." The way I lied came out natural as if I was saying the truth, I hope he believes me.

"You're lying."

"I.. am not." Oops. Wrong move. Why did I hesitate?

"You are not good in lying. You can't lie to me, Violet."

"I lied to others many times, you are the only one who won't believe me."

"Because it's a lie."

Ah.. he has a point. Eck! He just made me admit that I'm actually lying! How schemy!

He finally let go of my hand and I inwardly gave a sigh in relief.

"I will leave today, I will return after a week. Use this time to think of an answer, it's either yes or yes."

... I don't think you're give me a choice..

"The only light magicians in this kingdom is Alyn and I."

What is he trying to say? I don't think that's true.

"That's impossible, how can you two be good in using light magic spells? Both of you has definitely learned it from someone."

"I happen to be Alyn's teacher. Besides, a genius don't need to learn things from someone else." He smirked at me.

That's foul! FOUL! THIS WAS NOT STATED IN THE GAME!

But.. what if he's telling the truth? I only completed the normal endings. I still have to see the romantic endings..

"I will get your answer once I come back." He turned and left me there.

What should I dooooo?! Knowing Spade's character, he won't let me go since.. I'm the only girl he'll acknowledge..

This was one of the things about what I liked about him when I played his route.. He won't look to other girls except the one he has fallen in love with already. He is the perfect guy, he will never cheat on me! But I'm not interested in getting to a relationship right now! Can someone please help me and steal him away?!

----

Thanks to Spade, I was so distracted that I couldn't read a book nicely. I sighed.

First it was Luke, now it's Spade but because of him, the pain in me lessen.

"Brielle sweetheart!"

I was surprised when my father barged in my room. He was holding a letter and he looked so happy about it. I bet it's a good news.

"Your engagement with the prince has been cancelled!"

The book I was holding fell on the ground as my jaw dropped. "W-what?"

This is too good to be true! Am I dreaming?!

"The king sent us a letter and he wants to apologize for breaking off the engagement between you and the prince. Prince Alyn will be engaged with the princess of Lilly kingdom to strengthen the alliance of both kingdoms."

Huh? How did that happen? I am happy, okay? I really am! It just makes me wonder how did it turned out this way..

I don't hate Alyn but he is the male lead of the game story. Once he meets the MC, he will love her and he will make her his queen but with this turn of events, I think we are going away from the game's plot! .. Which is a good thing since that means my death will be avoided.. But still! I can definitely sense something strange in this!
