Chapter 258

Niña was annoyed and felt like she didn't want to enter the mansion anymore. She swallowed a groan and stepped down. She might grab her dagger and slit his throat if she couldn't control her anger. Earlier, Niña controlled her emotions and decided not to kill him. But if he dared to do something bad against her or Miriam, Niña won't hesitate to kill him. 

'I have justification why. That man is the reason why I suffered for years. My hatred won't easily disappear in just one conversation. I killed the first Princess just to protect Mikael. I fend off all of the threats that were aimed at me. I almost died many times. Even if Kyle said sorry, even if he apologized, beg, and kneeled, what he did to me won't vanish.'

Niña had enough reason to hate the man. The only binding force that stopped her from killing him was Miriam and Lemar. She loved her cute niece, and her mother was fond of that child. 

'… I have to meet my mother… Now I have another reason to hate Kyle. My mother was kidnapped and tortured because of him.'

Her hands trembled as she clenched her fists in anger. Truth be told, she was afraid to face her mother. She felt guilty, she may blame Kyle for all the sufferings her mother experienced but she knew that she was part of the reason too. She couldn't protect her mother well, the hideout for her mother was compromised by the enemies and kidnapped her.

After saving her mother and taking her here under Miriam's protection, Niña didn't show up again. Niña was afraid that her mother was angry at her for what she did. She couldn't face her mother. 

A weakly moan escaped from her mouth as she was frustrated. Unnoticeably, Niña didn't sense that Miriam was already in front of her. She only realized that Miriam was there when she saw her shadow. Niña raised her head and saw that Miriam had a pain expression. It was a shame for a woman like her to not detect Miriam, perhaps she was too absorbed. 

The two women stared at one another.

Actually, they were both have painful expressions. They both chuckled with sadness and sarcasm. 

"We really are sisters."

They were facing problems right now and they didn't know how to overcome them. 

They were sisters, they have difficulties, they could relate to each other. Miriam spread her arms and Niñe gently hugged her, it was warm and cozy. Being with the family that you trusted was the best. 

Then, Niña let go and her expression turned serious. It would be pathetic if she showed her vulnerable side to Kyle. Once is enough, she couldn't show any weakness to him anymore. Perhaps he would use Miriam too, Niña won't let that happen. 

"Let's go, I prepared some food for you."

Miriam smiled as she knew how tired Niña was so she just asked her to enter the mansion.

However, Niña shook her head. She was afraid to enter the mansion. She decided to hide and use her Skill, it was going to be better if she does not show herself. 

Niña looked around and realized that the others were in the mansion already. The maids were trying their best to accommodate them. Niña and Miriam were the only people outside. 

"I will continue to protect Andromeda until she got her second Skill, but I will do it while in the dark. You know my ways."

"Yeah, we are both stalkers."

They giggled. Yet that warm atmosphere has immediately gone after Niña asked about Miriam. 

"What happened, it's rare for you to show that face? Did that fucker hurt you?"

Niña asked but her eyes were shining dangerously. If Miriam said yes, then Niña would rush and-

"N-No, everything is fine."

Miriam denied as she waved her hand. She did not dare to make a misunderstanding. 

"Miriam we know each other for a long time. You can't fool me. Tell me what happened."

Niña asked with worriedness in her voice. But Miriam remained quiet and didn't speak anymore. She would fix this alone. Besides, she knew that Niña hates Kyle so it was going to be bad she told her.

For now, Miriam would do her best to talk to Kyle. It wasn't sure how many days Kyle planned to stay but she promised that she would get to the core of this problem. Miriam was strong but when it comes to love, she was weak. It was already proven just like that time in the past.

Miriam could only smile but her smile couldn't convince Niña at all. Still, Niña respect her decision and decided to support her instead.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the mansion? Your mother is sleeping but I can wake her up for you. I'm sure that she will be happy to see you."

"No, it's fine… just tell her that I love her."

"Niña do you still blame yourself for what happened? Your mother didn't hate you and you know it. Just talk to her already."

"… Said by the woman who can't talk straight to Kyle."

"T- this and that is different!"

Miriam flushed red as she slightly raised her voice. Niña only giggled listening to her which caused Miriam to pout. 

"It seems like some of your energy returns, now you can raise your voice."

"Thanks, Niña, is that what you want me to say?"

Miriam crossed her arms and scoffed. Her frustration eased because of Niña. 

"Yeah, I want you to act normal again."

Niña honestly said and genuinely smiled.

"Cause if you continue behaving sadly like that, I might stab this dagger into your special someone. And you know that this is not a joke."

"Is that a threat?"

"Threat? You know that I'm capable of doing it. Besides, your man is far worse than me. Heck, I don't even know why you like him. Why choose another man? Someone who will love you and be honest with you. You know that Kyle is still hiding a lot of secrets. We are still even not completely sure how he knew the future. I can't trust a man like him."

"Niña…"

Miriam just said her name as she couldn't refute most of what she said. Niña had a point but Miriam couldn't agree with her.
