Another Life, Another Me

28. Names

...You'll regret it.

But even though I attempted to push Florence away, he grabbed onto my hand again and pulled me toward him in a hug.

"Thank you...for being safe, Lia," he whispered as he kissed my hand.

He looked straight into my eyes and gave me a knight's smile.

I swear I could hear my heart go doki-doki at the sight of his princely display as I froze in embarrassment.

I knew he was teasing me but...he was a male lead. His charm was still too powerful for me...

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY GIRL- I MEAN MY SISTER!" Ash yelled as he pushed Florence away from me.

This is my chance to escape!

I immediately ran away from the scene around me.

The kids...are...EVIL!

Why is everything going so bad today?!?!

As I ran away, I felt some sort of wind blowing behind me. When I looked back, I could see Ace flying after me.

"A-Ace?!" I yelped behind me.

"..."

"...Ace...?" I said again when he ignored me.

"...Where are you going this time...?" Ace said slowly.

Is it me...or is Ace a little mad right now...?

"W-Well...I was planning on running away from the others...so..." I muttered.

In one quick motion, Ace used some of his wind magic to pick me up and carry me all the way back to the others.

"Sorry, Cordelia, but you're not allowed to go anywhere right now. All of us can't afford to lose you again," Ace said with a sigh.

"Okay!!! I get it!! Just let me down, please...?!" I begged.

Ace ignored me and continued to fly me down to the others.

Ughhh...Why does no one listen to me?!

2 Hours Later

Sometimes I wish a carriage was bigger.

A carriage is WAY TOO SMALL for two annoying male leads, an irritated dragon, a strict maid, and me to sit in at the same time.

Oh...Did I forget to mention that I'm also being stalked by a kid?

For some reason, the unknown boy has not been caught by any of the people with me. He's actually pretty good at hiding and stalking people...

...Maybe I should ask him to teach me his ways...

Also...I should probably ask him for his name. It's getting kind of awkward to call him the "unknown boy."
