THE DRAGON CHAIN EMPEROR
Chp 27: The New Love
...[๐๐๐ฃ๐ก๐๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐๐ก๐ก๐ ๐๐๐]...
"What's up with River lately, yeah.." I muttered.
Ever since he returned from the monster forest a month ago he had become different than before, he had become colder and irritable for trivial reasons....
She's not her old self anymore, but I can't hate her.
I am indeed a whiny person, I admit that so it is natural that River does not like people who are whiny.
No one likes a whiny person and it's easy to cry including River too.
She must have felt uncomfortable whenever she was around me but she hid it so as not to hurt my feelings, and this time she was honest with herself and myself.....
"Hah ... breakfast alone feels very sad.." I muttered after a long sigh.
I am currently having breakfast alone in the academy park after being rejected by River.
Breakfast alone feels very different than when breakfast with him, this feels very empty.
I could only stare at the ample lunch with a glare, I also just stirred the food with a spoon as I lost my appetite.
But a moment later, I saw someone in distress in the academy garden, he paced frantically with one of his friends while inspecting every bush and flower.
Moreover, the person who was in distress was River's ex-lover, Olivia Briar....
'Do I have to help him?' my inner.
...--------------------------------...
...[๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ผ๐๐๐๐จ๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐]...
After meeting with the head of the academy for the umpteenth time, I went back to looking for Finley to apologize for my exaggerated attitude.
But when I went to the infirmary, where we usually eat lunch, he wasn't there.
I was confused and started looking for him on the rooftop of the academy, but he wasn't there either.
'Where he is now.' My mind is a little worried.
There's no way he's out of the academy feeling down, right? It was too dangerous for a girl who did not know the capital well.
Was he lost in the city? In the city there must be a lot of dangerous criminals, I don't know if Finley can survive if he meets them.
While I was in a deep panic and worried about Finley's safety, I suddenly saw a crowd of students from the rooftops of the academy.
They were gathered in the academy garden was swarming over something, no, it was someone.
I'm a little weird about this, so I see very well who the person they're with is and was very surprised to find out if it was Finley.
He knelt on the ground crying with his hair and clothes soaked from the watering, and in front of him were two women whom I knew very well.
She is Olivia and Niselin.....
'What they've really done to Finley!' my mind is a little angry.
I descended from the rooftop of the academy through the stairs and finally reached the academy's garden in a few moments.
There I began to hear the whispers of the students.
"How dare he steal Olivia's favorite..."
"Isn't he supposed to apologize and admit his mistake?"
"That's right, he shouldn't deny the mistakes he made....."
I know a little bit of the situation from the other students talk, but I can't believe Finley stole someone's stuff.
So I broke through the crowd to get to Finley.
There I saw Olivia staring intently at Finley, "You'd better admit your mistake." she said.
"I told you that I didn't steal yours...."
"What's so hard about admitting your mistake and apologizing? If you do that, this problem will be solved quickly."
This time Niselin spoke.
Finley bit his lip, he wanted to apologize and admit to a mistake he did not make in order to solve this growing problem.
"Ma"
"No need to apologize, Finley.." I said cut Finley's words.
He looked very surprised and looked back, the place where I was with a hopeful smile.
She then wiped her tears and steeled herself, she definitely did not want to look crybaby again in front of me.
I then walked forward and hid Finley from the bullyan of the two girls, I could see the look of hatred from Olivia when I was protecting Finley which made us look close.
"Why did you stop him from apologizing? He just stole Olivia's valuables." Niselin said with a cynical look.
I saw Finley hiding behind me, "Is that true?" my many.
Finley shook his head in a sign he didn't.
"You saw for yourself, right? He said he didn't do it." I told Niselin.
"What! It's obvious that he-"
Niselin wanted to protest to me but was immediately cut off by Olivia. Olivia then stood in front of me very closely.
"Forget about my stuff that was stolen. You ... What is your relationship with this girl? Why are you protecting her like this?" asked Olivia with a probing look.
I saw a water bottle in Olivia's hand, she must be the one who doused Finley.
"That's none of your business. Besides, we're not lovers anymore, so it's up to me to be with any girl.." I reply.
Olivia's eyes turned sharp, "Is she the girl from your affair with me?"
"He had nothing to do with it."
I deny it, but the charges are getting worse and making me more emotional.
"Or was she one of the girls you played with? In this case then she is your naps satisfied or arguably, the pela*ur girl."
* BYURR! *
I'm so mad.
So angry that I took the water bottle in Olivia's hand and splashed it directly on her face....
"........"
Olivia fell silent, Niselin fell silent, everyone fell silent.
I threw the water bottle in his face and said, "Dear what you're talking about, Finley isn't a girl like you."
"You, you rotten man!"
Niselin looked very angry after my treatment of Olivia, she rolled up her sleeve and prepared to hit me but Olivia pulled herself out before that happened.
Niselin doesn't accept, "Olivia, why? But, she-"
"It's Niselin.." muttered Olivia with a face soaked.
Her wet hair covered her face so I could not see her expression.
I don't care what he feels anymore.
I just pulled Finley's hand and took him away from the hypocrite.
This incident will definitely shock everyone, moreover Finley's identity as a person close to me will definitely be known by everyone.
But I don't care about that anymore.
...
...
...
I took Finley to the infirmary to dry his body and clothes.
He was still silent when I took off his glasses and untied his hair and dried it with a towel.
"Can you tell me what really happened? Why are you dealing with them?" my many.
After a moment of silence Finley finally wanted to explain the true events.
"....... I saw them in distress at lunch alone in the park, looking for something missing. At first I didn't want to help her but after accidentally finding a bracelet near my seat, I thought it might just be the thing they were looking for...."
"So you gave it back but you're the one accused of stealing it, right?" I said guess what happened.
"Hm."
Finley nodded his head, after which he just kept quiet without any intention of chatting with me.
"Are you still mad at me?" ask me to see Finley who doesn't want to talk to me.
"...... Do you hate me?"
He threw a strange question.
"I couldn't deal with the problem before, I could only shut up and cry on the ground pitifully ... do you hate that?" continued.
"....... I don't hate him."
"Eh? But before you said you hated whiny people"
"I'm sorry for not thinking about how you felt when you said that" I said, reflecting on my mistake.
"I do hate people who are whiny for not being able to try and just being able to cry, it reminds me of the old me. But I don't hate you." I continued.
"Does that mean you like me?"
Finley's cheeks flushed red as he said that, he's a little brave now.
"I think it's true." I replied with a smile.
I think it's time to move on from the pain and find a new love....
