Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht felt almost powerless at this moment, he had this hope so close to him that he could basically grab it but then it turned out to be nothing but an illusion…a cruel illusion.

Even the toughest of people would feel extremely sad at losing an extremely amazing thing that could help them greatly.

However, this by no means that he had given up. Acht was never someone to stop trying no matter how hard or impossible it was. If he wants it to happen then he will keep trying until it becomes a reality.

This characteristic of his personality is a double-edged sword as it could benefit him greatly but could also be the reason for his end. But, he still didn't find himself in that position once before.

As he had such thoughts in his head, Lein asked him a question out of nowhere.

"How did you die?"

He didn't know why she was interested in such information but he still answered nevertheless.

"Honestly, I don't have any idea how it happened. All I could remember is that I was awake and fully normal and then it blacked out and I found myself dead." He said.

"...I see." Her response was somehow filled with a weird feeling. A regret mixed with sadness that Acht couldn't discern its origin.

"What about you?"

"Sigh…" Lein sighed loudly and scratched her wet hair.

"I got fucking backstabbed by one of what I considered my dear friends. It's fucking pathetic isn't it?"

"It is pathetic," Acht said.

His response made Lein frown slightly and bend her head down with a slightly sad look. She didn't expect him to be that blunt.

"But, your friend is even more of a pathetic person." He responded as he stood up and dusted the sand from his clothes.

His hair had already dried up so he had nothing else to do.

"Anyway, keep this a secret. I told you this because you are the only person that I knew who had experienced the same things I went through. I will also keep your secret."

He left those words and walked away.

Lein looked at his silhouette as it got farther and farther away from her.

"I don't spill secrets out, you fucking idiot." She muttered.

***********************

At the same time, somewhere unknown in the world, inside a white room, there was a person laying down unconscious on the bed.

She was a very gorgeous woman with an alluring body that could drive any sane human crazy. Even her pale face and sick look didn't diminish her beauty and even added a hint of ethereality to her looks.

The only sound that could be heard inside that place was the ticking sound of the heart rate machine.

"Mmm.."

Suddenly, the sleeping beauty opened her eyes slightly and groaned in pain. Her eyes were still hazy and a strong headache assaulted her almost instantly.

She whimpered and tried to touch her head. But, the tubes and all kinds of equipment attached to her body didn't allow her to do that.

"What…What happened?" She muttered with a hoarse voice.

Her mind was still basically groggy so she couldn't recall what happened before she lost consciousness.

"Ugh..I-"

Then, as if it was a train, all the memories from that horrible place and the cold eyes that gazed at her while the horrible coldness took over her body. Each of those sensations came back to her and made her eyes widen as she basically woke up immediately and looked around frantically.

"Ach!! Where is Acht!!!" She shouted like a mad woman. But, the only answer she got was the sound of the machine in the room.

She finally discovered that she was in a hospital room somewhere.

So, like a broken machine, she looked at her abdomen. The bandaids and all kinds of cures were applied to her deep injury.

Seeing that, a tear fell down her face and made her close her eyes. She tried to hold back the urge to cry but she couldn't. It was simply too overwhelming for her.

After crying for a few minutes, she finally calmed down and looked to her side. There, on the table was her phone.

So, she picked it up and dialed an unknown number.

"I woke up. Come here." She said to the person on the phone with a cold tone.

Immediately, the door to the room opened and a man clad in a black suit came in. It was Leislet's butler.

He looked at his lady with a rejoiced look as he basically ran to the side of the bed and said happily.

"My lady!!! You finally woke up. Your servant was truly worried all this time."

"How long have I been in a coma for?"

"Two days. You somehow took way longer than expected to wake up. Thank god you are healthy again." He responded as he wiped a tear from his face.

'Two days? Two days since Acht left?' She thought with a huge frown on her face.

Two days was a short time for many people but she knew that many things must've happened during this time period.

'Is he ok? Did they hurt him? I hope he didn't get tortured.' She thought as she prayed to any kind of entity in this world to keep him safe and sound.

She tried to erase those thoughts with a question.

"Did anything happen during this time?"

The butler was about to answer but had difficulty answering. He seemed to be very troubled.

"What happened?" She urged him to answer.

"My lady it's…"

Each second of waiting made Leislet even more sure that something bad happened. So, in the spur of a moment, she grabbed the butler's collar and shouted.

"Speak!!"

Her aura erupted as she applied all of her pressure on the butler.

"Sir Acht…He is now all over the news. He became a wanted person with a bounty on his head."
