Misuzu took a seat next to Lyle on the couch.

“Well Prince Lyle, what are you doing? Don't tell me you came here to peek at girl's dorm?” Her voice cold and chilly.

“Looking for underwears ?”

“Don’t be so arrogant you pervert!”

"I'm not! Actually I'm the hero of all loveless men. I venture the night and look for an under---, ahem I mean presents to give it to them for their own salvations~ I'm underwear man!"

"You ..."

Misuzu glared at Lyle with an indignant expression. Lyle on the other hand merely spoke honestly knowing that whatever he was going to say couldn’t distort the truth.

“Haa......jeez, someone like you ought to……”

Misuzu heavily sighed.

Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She wore a light blue dress along with a black miniskirt.

"Anyway, I came here to take back what's mine ... "

"Take back what's yours ?" Misuzu shot him a puzzled look.

Seeing her like this, Lyle didn't say anything and waved his hand. "Come back, Weiss ..."

"Hisha!"

After Lyle said those words, Misuzu's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light causing her to jump in fright.

From her body, a small silver snake came out and happily floated towards Lyle.

"Thank you Weiss, you did a good job. That's my girl~"

""Hisha!"

Under Misuzu's dumbfounded expression, the small silver snake affectionately rubbed its small head on Lyle's cheek before entering his body.

"Tha .... wha ... that's ..."

"When you walk away this afternoon, I ordered Weiss to follow you and enter your body."

"Enter ? F, For what ?"

Misuzu immediately touched her body and then shot Lyle a bewildered look.

Seeing this, Lyle only smiled wryly. "I had Weiss possess your body as to restrict the poison inside of you. Although she doesn't have any ability to heal you, she can still slow the poison from spreading from your body. That is why you're still alive right now ... what, where's my thanks ?"

"Eh ... I, Is that so ?"

Misuzu couldn't believe what Lyle told her. No, she had some trouble understanding what Lyle had just told her.

She then looks at him, still in daze. She still doesn't know how to react...

Misuzu looked at Lyle who was happily sipping his tea, in doubt as she shook her head. "No ... I, Is that so? Ah, no, th, thank you ..."

Seeing Misuzu bowed her head in gratitude, Lyle's lips formed into a beautiful smile as he nodded his head. "It's fine ... Anyway, what I want to know is why you took a bath this late at night? Did you know that I was coming?” Seeing her all serious, Lyle decided to tease her a little bit.

“It's not! I didn't know that you were coming at all!”

It was quite regrettable. Who would have thought that after taking a shower, someone would barge in her room uninvited and have people expect this sort of development?

"Really ?"

“Ugh .... After that incident a while ago ... ...you still wish to humiliate me!?”

“Wasn’t it Princess Misuzu who provided me with this fan service without my permission when I came here by chance?"

“It wasn’t by chance! You were the one who's really in the wrong! You clearly went overboard and snuck in, yet you’re still saying things like that!’”

Lyle smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, I came here to do my part. I just can't let someone die although I knew I can prevent it~"

"S-So ... Y-you will take the responsibility?"

"No"

"You!" Misuzu called. She shot up and stood on the couch. Her fist like the windswept passed Lyle's face. "Why won't you agree!?"

"Don’t punch my face. I still have a photo shoot with Taylor Swift later~ Anyway, I have someone I love and I don't have any intention to find another~" Lyle said calmly.

Misuzu's fist was two centimeters in front of Lyle's cheek before she retreated her fist. She gritted her teeth and she glared at his happy face. "I-Is it Princess Feme ?"

Lyle put cup down onto the table. The tea made his beautiful lips that were smiling, shiny. "Kind of ... but only half-right. Indeed, Feme is my fiancée but right now I had someone else. I'm just looking for the right time to say it to her ... after all, I also like her and don't want to hurt her ... "

"Y-You ... You're a bastard!! A cheater!"

Confronted with Misuzu, who was at wit’s end, Lyle only lightly chuckled.

"Wait, don't scowl at me yet, Your Honour, please listen to this sinner’s defense first... Anyway, maybe, but I can't help it ... the book of fate was twisted since the beginning~

I'm not a saint but maybe a monster as you all called me ... And I'm also not a dense protagonist of some anime. I know what she felt for me all these years. However, what's done is done. Something that was out of my control had happened ... and I can't treat it as something that was never happened." Lyle's voice becomes even gentler as he continued to talk.

He then cast a glance outside the window. His expression solemn. "Maybe that's why I was subconsciously avoiding her all this time ... I'm feeling guilty, for I'm still his fiancée yet I had actually embraced another woman behind her back. I betrayed her, I know that but I don't how to tell her about this. I know that I'm just running away from reality. Right now, I'm just looking for a good opportunity to tell her. And if she still loves me at that point, then I will hold my bargain and take her ... "

Lyle smiled gently but for Misuzu that simple gentle smile seemed to contain enormous pain. Gritting her teeth, she lowered her head and bit her lips. "I, Is the girl you're talking about ... the Headmaster ?"

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Lyle nodded his head as he sips his tea. "...Yeah."

" ... "

Lyle noticed Misuzu's expression so he decided to crack a joke. Serious atmosphere like this is just not my style...

Wearing a mischievous smile, Lyle winks at her in a playful manner. "... Besides, loving one or two people isn't really a problem. My heart can't help but fall in love with them. I'm still a guy after all, Hahaha"

Misuzu was speechless.

However, she knows that Lyle was just saying this as to dispel the serious atmosphere. He might also wanted to cheer her up --- this thought suddenly crossed her mind causing her to feel bashful but that was only for a moment.

At this moment, her impression of Lyle was suddenly changed. Her image of Lyle began being greatly corrected. Because of that, Misuzu was able to realize her own misunderstanding.

It seems Lyle wasn't a horrible person like she and the other people had originally thought. He was just a normal guy aside from his ridiculous power ...

" ... However, for me, the only thing that should be considered is the other party's thoughts and decision. I wouldn't force her and if she decided to hate me and leave then that's all that was to it, because I can't leave 'her' ... "

But even still, what happened to him and the Headmaster seemed not simple and he knows that this might cause Feme; his real fiancée to be hurt. And that's the thing that was hurting him inside ...

He might not show it outside but that might be the case --- Misuzu thought. Although she learned his true colors just a while ago, she couldn't help but to think as such.

She fisted her hands tightly to the point the crack sounds from her knuckles were loud and clear.

"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Feme about this ... "

Lyle was drinking a cup of tea, his eyes gentle as he nodded his head.

"You can do what you want ... " His voice had instantly changed, almost like he was an entirely different person.

The doting and teasing from a moment ago were completely gone, and replacing it was a simple sophistication and composure that straightaway calmed people’s hearts. “I know that she will know it sooner or later. Making it early won't change anything~ anyway we wasted so much time talking, let's do it immediately but remember. I won't take any responsibility you hear me? I'm just helping you, that's it ... "

"F-Fine ... " Although she was depressed that her body was going to be seen by this perverted prince, but compared to dying, that’s no longer important. As long as she can survive, she could just forget that something like this had happened.

Lyle swept his eyes from the top to the bottom of Misuzu’s body. "Show me your back ... "

-----------------

“P-Prince Lyle, I’m ready.” Misuzu turned around and showed her bare back to Lyle. Her face crimson red as she slowly closed her eyes. She followed Lyle's instructions and calmed her mind, emptying her thoughts.

Lyle looked at her for a moment and then channeled some mana to his hands and into Misuzu's body. Her body trembled a little but there wasn’t any resistance at all…

The mana flowed through her arms and blood channel as if it was looking for something. When the mana had flowed throughout her whole body, it came out again from her other hand.

Even though only half of Lyle's mana had entered her body, it was still a lot for her. She suddenly felt something wriggling inside her chest as if it was trying to run away and escaped.

"I had caught it ... Breath ... " Lyle's soft and enchanting voice resounded in her ears.

His voice finally seemed to have completely warmed up and was back in its top form.

She suddenly summoned three balls of water that was suspended in the air out on reflex.

"Don't tense up and relax your whole body. You might feel a little pain but endure it ..." She obediently nodded her head and relaxed her body.

Misuzu felt a bright golden light was shining inside her of her consciousness. She seemed to see Lyle's figure inside the golden light.

Her body floated towards Lyle's figure.

His face was hidden within the bright light, hence she couldn’t see very clearly, but she could still feel his powerful power. His eyes were shining brightly like stars.

But what caught her attention and made her trembled in fear was that; This figure of him was entirely different.

On each side of Lyle's head were Horns; Black horns that were pointing in front of him. His body was covered by shiny black and silver scales and crimson lines that looked like flames were engraved on it.

On his back was pair of wings in platinum in color.

She only realized that Lyle was actually a giant. He was at least 10 meters tall. Compared to him, she was extremely tiny… ...

Then suddenly, Lyle who was bathed in golden light, reached out his golden, giant hands. His hand that was filled with dark golden symbols was holding something...

It was a cage and inside it was a dark purple shadow. Shrieking in rage.

The dark purple shadow looked like a silver-eyed poisonous lizard and when it saw her, its eyes suddenly glared in rage. It was as if it was angry at her and wanted to rush and kill her.

"Human ... art thou the one who myself wanted to help with ?" A voice as deep as the sea echoed in the whole place.

Misuzu was so shocked that her whole body trembled in fear as she stepped back a few steps.

"Answer me human ... what doth relation to myself from outside ?"
