Hearing that, Knox froze.
“Go back?”
“Yes. Back to where you came from.”
“Where was I from?”
“Huh? Of course, that’ll be your Duke… I mean, how would I know?”
I nearly said his Dukedom.
“But don’t you have a place to go back to? It’s not like you fell from the sky…”
His face hardened. Looking into his eyes, I recalled the first day we met. His purple eyes had been as cold as frost.
“How are you so sure? Why are you so certain that I have a place to go back to?”
Gulp.
I held my breath.
Before I knew it, Knox was holding my hand, looking down at me. I couldn’t say anything. If I said something wrong, he looked like he would eat me up.
“Knox, the thing is… You probably have a home, right?”
“Probably?”
“Yes. Probably. If you have a place to go back to.”
“I see. What if I don’t have a place to go back to?”
With a thump, my back hit the soft mattress. Knox who crawled atop me, persistently stared at me. His lips slowly parted before my eyes.5
“What if I want to stay here?”3
I blankly stared back at him, without replying whether he could stay or not. Beneath the moonlight, his eyes sparkled. It occurred to me that the answer never mattered to Knox. He wouldn’t care.
“That’s…”
I shook off his hand and jumped up. At the same time, a loud noise came from behind the door.
Kuang!
Knox and I turned towards each other.
“It’s coming from the front door.”
“Let’s check it out.”
“L-let’s go together.”
Our house was small, so it wasn’t long before we reached the front door.
“Knox, you hide here for a while. If it’s a suspicious person, you come and help me. That person could be caught off guard, thinking that a girl lived alone.”
“…Alright.”
A stranger was visiting the house at dawn. Since living here for the past 10 years, this has never happened to me.
Breaking out into cold sweat, I opened the front door.
Creak.
The door opened with a chilling sound…
Flop.
Someone collapsed at the door.
“Diana?”
The poison was not easy to cure. My sister was sick for an entire month, and the Knox during the day was still suffering from a fever because of it.
Even if he looked fine now, he might have another fever. So, he shouldn’t be moving too much.
“But If you move too much, you’ll get a fever. Are you listening to me, huh?”
“Amy.”
“If your wound opens again, you’ll be more exposed to the remaining poison and be poisoned indirectly. It’s a poison that causes paralysis just by the spread of blood or saliva. Worst case, you may faint and die. Don’t you know that?”
“Amy!”
He grabbed my other hand. Only then did I realise that I had turned pale and was anxiously grabbing my hair.
“… I understand that it’s a dangerous poison. But aren’t you worried about your sister? She’s fighting with a lot of people alone.”
“… I’m worried.”
I bit my lips harshly. How could I not be worried about her? But.
“But I’m not worried because I know that my sister is strong.”
Seeing my sister all these years, I knew that my sister would come back safely. The problem now was Knox who has yet to recover.
“I believe that my sister will be safe. The problem now is you and me. Just like my sister said, there’s a space to hide in the house. Let’s go there for now.”
“But your sister was referring to the me during the day, was she not? Is the space big enough for me to enter?”
“…”
I watched as Knox slowly grabbed his sword.
“No matter how I look at it, there’s no space in this small house for me to hide in.”
“…”
I knew that Knox was a cruel and heartless man. So, I had shaken in fear that I could end up like those men someday.
I bit my lips. But the people he was pointing his sword to where his enemies, not me.
“So, I’m not scared of you.”
