Chapter 16 Her Thoughts



I won; this was the most brutal battle against my peers and a battle I couldn't afford to lose. But, on the other hand, losing here meant my chances of getting closer to Charlie were lowered.

Charlie fainted from my hypnosis magic, using that with an illusion making my movement undetectable. It would be almost impossible for him to notice it.

Carrying him on my back, I left the arena and headed toward his house. Arriving at the front of his house, I opened the door with my magic taking him to his room.

Leaving him on his bed, I stared at him. He has changed a lot compared to the times I met him all those years ago.

Five years ago, he couldn't do anything without me. We were stuck together like glue. When I first met him, I didn't like him. He was weak, quiet, and always scared, totally unsociable.

How could an heir with a personality like that be considered equal to me? But as we spent more time together, I quickly grew attached to him. Even if he was like that, he was the only person I could be without having to mind others having motives for getting close to me.

The more we played together, the more I wanted to be with him. He was gentle, pleasant, and even caring towards me, not because of my status, but because we were friends.

It was until then that I made a mistake. I told my mother, the current head of the Celeste family, my feelings towards him. Both of us will be the head of our family, so it was impossible for our relationship to start in the first place.

Since my mother separated us, we weren't even allowed to contact each other for five years.

These five years were lonely. All I could do was study, meet other nobles that had motives for wanting to get close to me, and practice how well I could use my magic. It was boring. I didn't have anyone I could talk to at most. I could have tried to be friends with the Lunaris' future heir, but they're only awake during the night, so our schedule doesn't match.

My five years of loneliness were hell. Before coming to this school, I didn't have many expectations. As the heir of the best family, I started to look down on everyone. I didn't have any competition. Everyone would wag their tail around me, hoping I would notice them.

I looked at Charlie, who was still sleeping from our match. He looks so peaceful in his sleep. His light skin, blond hair, and body could attract anyone who was to see it.

I need him. He's the only one here that would cure my loneliness. I continue to caress his hair as I continue to think about him. I heard people get closer if they sleep together. So I undress him and go to his bed.

Regaining my consciousness, I opened my eyes, remembering what had happened during my battle. So I lost, huh? But, of course, I didn't expect her to hit me with an invisible attack.

Thinking about my loss, I could feel someone hugging me. Was it Olivia? Did I sleep for that long for her to hug me?

Looking over to my side, it was Serena. She was in her birthday suit, latching me with her arms.

Serena, who was awake, spoke. "How are you feeling?" She said, making sure that there wasn't anything wrong with me.

"I'm fine except for the losing part." I looked at the ceiling, saddened by my loss.

"You shouldn't be too worried about it. I'm not cruel to make you do something you dislike." She said, trying to dispel my thoughts.

Looking at her figure, it was beautiful. I would be lying if I wasn't memorized by it. But, while it was my second time seeing her naked, I wasn't in the right mind the first time I saw it.

"Charlie, I'm sorry for using your friend as a threat like that. But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to talk to you like this." Listening to her rambling, I could see that she meant it. But it was still wrong to use Olivia as a threat.

"You may be mad about it, but I just wanted your attention. Charlie, how have you been during those five years?" Reading Charlie's old memories, I saw loneliness seething in him. He had no one to talk to except his servants and the matriarch. Just like me, I was also suffering from the same problem.

"It was lonesome." I wasn't the Charlie she wanted to talk to, so I answered as vaguely as possible.

"It was the same as me." She smiled wryly, saying that. "For me, it was hell." She crawled on top of me saying that.

"I hate that feeling of loneliness, Charlie. I know what I did to you when we first reunited was bad, but I couldn't help it." We were looking at each other's eyes as she spoke.

"Charlie, you're the only person I could talk to without a problem. Please let me stay with you. Don't leave me alone again." The more she talked, something inside of me felt like being squeezed. That feeling I had yesterday was back.

I knew I had to accept her, or something wrong would happen. Charlie would've broken. With a weak will, he couldn't handle any too intense problems.

I held Serena's head, comforting her. Serena, who felt this, noticed that I accepted her. Instead, unable to hold back her tears, she cried from relief. She was scared that I would leave her. If I did, something horrible would've happened.

Finishing her cries, she still had her head down, unable to look at me, embarrassed by the emotional outburst she had.

About ten minutes had passed since her outburst, and we enjoyed our silence while embracing each other. It was pleasant and relaxing.
