POV: Third Person

”Now tell me, what’s going on between you and that pervert?”,

Eira asked Selene as she looked at her directly and angrily . They were in their room, the one they shared,

They had just returned after the instructors confirmed that the situation was under control, although there were minimal casualties. it was a great tragedy and a stain on the kingdom, that young people with great potential, fell without reason and under their protection.

After making sure that everything was in order, they sent the students to their respective dormitories.

But as soon as they entered, Eira questioned her younger sister. So much had happened that she had many questions, but what bothered her most was her sister’s sudden familiarity with this ”pervert”. So she questioned her right away.

”.....”

Selene was silent. She honestly didn’t know how to respond. She knew her sister had discovered something, and she didn’t want to lie to her, but she also didn’t want to break the promise she made with Chris.

She could only keep quiet, just as Chris had told her to do if her sister asked anything related to what they were doing.

”Why aren’t you answering? You seemed to get along well. How did that pervert know about our abilities? Why can he use that ability too? You seemed to know, what are you hiding from me, Selene?”

Eira’s questions were falling like a storm, but Selene only answered something she didn’t even ask which got her sister even more on her nerves.

”...He’s not a pervert...he doesn’t have bad intentions....”

”What!!! You’re defending him now? He’s just cheating on you. I don’t know how he did it, but he’s hiding his bad intentions. I felt his intentions myself before... besides, he did that to me.”

Eira was angry. She didn’t know what to do. It was rare for something like this to happen, and her mother had always been the go-between the rare times they argued, but now they didn’t have her and her sister didn’t seem very cooperative, which she knew was that bastard’s fault.

Selene, on the other hand true to her own rhythm, responded with a question:

”Sister, why do you hate him...”...”

”...”

That was a question Selene had always asked herself. Neither her sister nor Chris had ever said anything to her about it.

Selene may not have understood a lot of things about people and didn’t have the best common sense when it came to relationships, but she knew something must have happened for her sister to be so angry with him all the time.

However, at the question, his sister bit her lip and said nothing.

”If big sister doesn’t say anything, neither do I (￣)3￣),...” said Selene, acting childishly, as she always did with her sister.

”If I tell you what happened with that pervert, will you tell me what’s going on?”

”Uhmm... yes.”

Eira felt it was more important to find out what was going on than to hide that embarrassing event.

Coming to an agreement, she began to recount what happened that day, stressing especially how disgusting and perverted he was, and the evil intentions he exuded.

”Uhmm... Sis also misbehaved and he gave you a punishment. Besides, mom told you to stop swearing.”

”Huh? Selene, are you saying I’m to blame?”

At that moment, Eira felt betrayal and disappointment. Her lifelong little sister was now siding with some random pervert she doesn’t know for more than a week.

{The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies}, remembering that saying, her anger rose.

She clenched her fists tightly in anger and frustration. But, instead of directing her anger at her innocent sister, she directed it at the pervert who had tricked her to the point of siding with her.

Luckily, she could now know what was going on between them. Nevertheless, Selene continued to speak.

”But he’s also a pervert...who lies.”

”Isn’t he! Then stop hanging out with him...”

”I don’t want to...”

”So you’re really hanging out with him...that bastard. At what point did he do it?”

”....”

Selene unwittingly fell into her sister’s trap. She didn’t know what to say. Her sister had always been the one to solve her problems, and she was never as good with words as she was, so she didn’t know what to do other than stay silent, as Chris told her. But her sister continued to question her.

”Well, I already told you what happened to me. Now tell me what your relationship is with him.”

”He’s my boyfriend.” Selene told the truth. Chris had asked her to be his girlfriend a few days ago, and she had agreed.

After all, they had already kissed, and her mother had told her that’s what boyfriends do, even told her how he had cheated on her, so he was a lying pervert, but she still didn’t want to stop being with him and agreed to be his girlfriend.

Besides, he hadn’t told her that she couldn’t say that, so she didn’t break her promise.

”What? What do you mean ’boyfriend’? Since when? Why? How? ..wait that’s why you asked me if it was okay for you to approach your future boyfriend even if he had bad intentions, it was because of the...damn, I should have said no,”

”....”

Eira went into a frenzy. She didn’t know what to do. Her sister had fallen into the clutches of the worst possible person, and she didn’t know what else to do but keep asking for details.

”Why won’t you answer me, tell me what happened?”

”Secret...”

”Damn it, Selene, don’t think that by simply saying it’s a secret without giving me details I’m going to be satisfied. Explain things clearly and the truth.”

”.....” she fell silent as she avoided her sister’s gaze and looked off into nothingness, refusing to say anything more than this.

To Eira, her younger sister had always been like that. she went at her own pace, and although she was somewhat naive, she always kept close to her.

Eira thought that by separating for a few hours each day, Selene would grow up and become a little independent.

She knew that her sister, though naive, was not dumb at all, and that her ability would keep her safe in the worst case scenario. Now she regretted that decision a little.

He could not change the past, and worst of all, Selene had fallen to the worst scum.

Although the last few days she had seen that he showed no ill intentions towards her, she could not get him out of her head and wanted revenge. However, those desires for revenge were starting to diminish, seeing his lack of interest, but suddenly they peaked again.

”You know I want to kill that guy, right, why did you start dating him?”

”He treats me well, I like being with him and he wants to get along with you too. So, sister, you’re the problem.”

”Now I’m the problem!!!? Haaaah... whatever.”

Eira thought it was pointless to argue with her sister, but at least she wanted to know how bad the situation was.

Knowing Selene, she had already connected the dots that led her to make contact in the first place, and the culprit was no one but herself. That made her feel even worse.

”Selene, tell me the truth, what did he do to you, did you let him touch you? Don’t tell me you went with one of your ’big ideas’ and let him touch you... like last time.”

Said Eira remembering an incident that happened a few years ago.... well in the end Selene act as she had instilled in her and although the one who proposed the idea was Selene herself, she herself destroyed that pervert the moment she was close enough.

is something that Eira instilled in her little sister, to defend herself, but she didn’t know how, but now her supposed boyfriend could evade this method since he doesn’t exude bad intentions and as she thought.

”...But aunts used to do it too.”

”So you left him...damn...Besides, I already told you not to follow the example of the aunts. That should never be the first choice, there’s no such thing as someone who wants to touch you without bad intentions.”

”...But... ”Selene was going to say otherwise, but then she remembered that he said exactly what his sister said, and that he wouldn’t try it again with anyone else, that there were many perverts in the world, exactly what his sister said.

”At least you kept the promise we made with mom, not to let anything in there until you get married right?”,

”Yes... Nothing went in there... I keep my promises, we’re still boyfriend and girlfriend...”

”Whew... At least it’s not too late.”

Knowing that she hadn’t gone that far gave Eira some relief. Now she was thinking about how to convince her sister to stay away from him for good, but Selene interrupted her.

”Sis... he’s my boyfriend.... can you stop fighting with him? Mom also said that one day this would happen and we had to support each other.”

”....”

Apparently, her sister, instead of letting herself be convinced, wanted to convince her to make things right with that pervert.

Although he had shown no ill intentions since they had seen him again, beyond the anger when they fought at first, Eira still wanted revenge, although that anger had subsided in the last few days.

And certainly despite being her sister she can’t force her and decide for her who to love, no matter how much she hated the guy, it was a promise they made with their mother.

So he simply nodded and had no choice but to agree, for now, but there was still more he wanted to know

”ahhhh!!!...okay I’ll try, now tell me...And why can he use our ability? Why were we able to resonate with him.... How he’s so strong... do you know anything?”

Finally, the other point I wanted to ask him.

”Secret.”

”Damn, I’m going to lose my mind.”

Eira was losing her temper, tugging at her pigtails from the stress of this cover-up, the chances of pulling out a lock of hair were not slim, but Selene made sure not to say anything else to avoid being tricked again.

Chris had stressed to her many times that she should keep the secret of her ability, and that was also making her stronger.

Although she didn’t understand much, Selene kept her promise not to reveal anything about her ability that she shared with her sister, and so she did with Chris as well, and she didn’t plan to say anything about her secrets.

He discovered her ability on his own and asked her to explain how it worked and she did but never mentioned it first so she didn’t break his promise.

In the end, Eira could not get anything more out of her sister and decided to confront the source of the problem tomorrow and if it was possible she would get rid of him?

but if she thinks about it, it’s true that she owes him her life and he saved her life once today especially with that demon, who wanted to force her to sign a contract, she didn’t know what her destiny would be if he hadn’t interfered,

She also realized how strong I could be, but what’s done is done, and this is something else. maybe that events can compensate for the humiliation, but not the fact that he cheated her sister, and possibly defilement, which created in her a new source of anger towards him.
