why the lilies turned red

Chapter 24: 24



Miyeon turned back around. Target now in focus but before he could even think of making a step…

" YOU RATS I AM GOING TO KILL YOU ! " 

Master Eason opened the front door with force 

Miyeon was no longer in hunting mode but in survival mode, he and Amabilis didn't have to think twice before they started running away from the obvious danger, Avner however didn't move a flinch from where he was standing 

" I will not leave before I hear answers " 

He confidently said, his grip on her slightly tightened

Nephthys was still not reacting in any way and showed no sign of cooperation, his father was getting closer and closer 

" I am serious, I am not leaving "

Closer and closer 

He was about to get him but Avner sprinted away like his life depended on it, which it did 

Now everyone was out of sight, Nephthys was now all alone 

a smile appeared on her lips 

" What a happy family " 

***

" Impressive "

Nephthys and Avner were training in the forest again 

Even though Nephthys had complimented Avner, Avner didn't seem touched by it, he looked rather frustrated and the reason for it being the accident from yesterday 

" You don't look happy, how come ? Does your back still hurt ? But I already healed it though 

The day before, after Master Eason had found out that his nephews an son had had started a fire while he was gone he went feral and went to catch them but since his feet were hurt he could not run as fast, so he did the first plausible thing he had thought of. Threw fire balls at them, some of them hit them and some of them didn't, which led to another fire. After the madam saw her mansion caught fire she went to kill her husband, which is the main reason Avner, Amabilis and Miyeon were able to survive that day. The Master was now under house arrest 

Nephthys had thought that maybe he was still hurt, even though she had healed him, his cousins and the master 

Avner ignored her and kept fighting the demons 

After awhile he has gotten even more annoyed at her, even though he ignored her she never even took the initiative to at least find out why he was mad 

He killed all the demons that were in his way and jumped on the tree branch that Nephthys was sitting on, Avner crunched down so he was now at eye level with her 

" Do you enjoy hurting me ? " 

He asked her seriously 

" hurting you ? Aren't I the one to always heal you ? "

Nephthys also replied in a calm matter 

Avner looked into her eyes some more then let out a sigh 

" I will work hard "

With that sentence he jumped off the tree and continued fighting the demons 

****

" Oh, Hello dear " 

The Madame came through the door and greet the person who was patiently waiting for her 

" It is nice to finally meet you Madame "

Nephthys stood up from the chair she was sitting on and bowed to the Madame 

" It is the first time we actually talked indeed, I apologize for not introducing myself earlier " 

" I understand "

Nephthys knew why the Madame never took any initiative to talk to her before, or anyone else really…it was because Avners tutors never lasted, the highest record was a week. Just like the rest, they expected me to leave as well 

" Please sit down "

" Thank you Madame " 

" Bring us some tee dear "

Madam asked the maid and sat at the table with Nephews 

The maid bowed in response and left the two alone 

" So how is Avner doing, I heard there was a lot of improvement thanks to you "

The Madame was the first to speak 

Nephthys went straight to business 

" Do you have a sibling no one knows about ? " 

This was a very sudden question, but sure enough it was enough to get a reaction out of the Madam 

" Is she perhaps…."

Nephthys took a long pause before continuing her sentence 

" Avners real mother ? " 

****

" So did you prepare everything ? " 

" ? "

" Don't t tell me you already forgot ? " 

Miyeon could feel it this was payback time 

" forget what exactly? " 

A mischievous smile appeared on his lips 

" We have a ball to attend tomorrow " 

" Oh that, no I did not forget, also everything is ready "

So much hell 

Miyeons smiled disappeared as his disappointment appeared 

" Did you find anything yet regarding the symbol ? "

" Sigh…no, still nothing. Just what is that thing " 

Miyeon got annoyed by the fact that he couldn't find anything at all about the tattoo 

" Alright, then our last resort is to catch them all at the ball, to figure it out " 

" Yeah I guess you're right " 

" We have a lot of things to discuss, so better not hope you'll get home anytime soon "

The regret of his life choices was clear in his eyes 

" Let's go "

" go where ? "
