Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 214 I lied

After an hour, Regius returned to the room with an annoyed expression.

Kyle watched how he grumbled and threw his body on the bed. The wooden bed creaked under his weight.

Regius placed one of his palms under his face and looked at Kyle with a sigh.

"Kyle, I think we need to leave now. Sorry, I know you are tired but I just met some of my friends downstairs. They told me all the 'Lune Academy' students who want to register for the 'Important event' held at the outskirts of the capital city need to report back to the Academy as soon as possible."

"I am one of the strongest students among my classmates so I need to go back."

Regius watched how Kyle nodded and gazed at him with intense green eyes.

A shiver ran down Regius's spine, he didn't know why but under Kyle's gaze he sat down properly.

Regius frowned at himself for the sudden movement but then Kyle hummed and started talking.

"Thank you for everything Regius but I think you have to go alone. I can't go with you."

Regius frowned deepened but then he noticed the communication crystal in Kyle's hands.

"...Did you contact your friends?"

"I did, someone will soon come to pick me up."

Regius stayed quiet for a while. He looked at Kyle. In the past few days, he started liking his company. Moreover, Kyle was his first human friend.

He was hesitant because leaving Kyle in a foreign place filled with unknown people alone wasn't a good decision but when he saw Kyle's intense eyes he pinched his brows with a groan.

What was he thinking? Kyle never said he needed protection! It's just.. Kyle looked so pure and innocent. What if someone took advantage of his kind nature?

Regius shook his head. He didn't know why but he felt like he should protect Kyle. Maybe it was because he unconsciously took him as a little brother?

"Alright, It's not like I can force you to come with me. I will rent this hotel room for the next ten days, so you can stay here. If you can go back safely just inform me through the communication crystal it will put me at ease. Also.... don't hesitate to contact me if something happens."

Kyle smiled at his words. He knew himself very well. Easily interacting with others was a little harder for him.

At first, he was even wary of Regius and all the old elves living in the village but in such a short time he understood how wrong he was. They were truly good people. They helped him even though he lied about almost everything.

"I will."

Regius nodded at his words with a serious expression.

"Remember if you are in danger never hesitate to call me!"

Kyle felt a little guilty when he saw how genuine Regius was. He wasn't sure if his decision was right or wrong but in the next second, he spoke with a thin smile.

"Regius, I told you I am not weak. Thank you for everything."

Regius blinked, he opened his mouth to speak but in the next second, a faint aura seeped out from Kyle's body.

Regius was stunned and shut his mouth immediately. His heartbeat quickened. The aura was faint but after sensing it he was sure if Kyle attacked him, he would lose under a single move!

His jaw tightened and he looked at Kyle with wide eyes. Hundreds of questions appeared in his mind. First, did Kyle lied when he said his family kicked him out because he was weak?

Of course, it was a lie! Kyle was so strong!

A ting of anger appeared in his chest. So, all this time he was being an idiot? He looked at Kyle for answers but the latter only replied with an apologetic smile.

He opened and closed his mouth but no words came out. Amidst the awkward atmosphere, Kyle's voice resounded in his ears.

"It's okay. You can curse at me. I know I am a little paranoid. It's very hard for me to trust others."

At his words, Regius opened his mouth to curse but when he saw Kyle's sincere face he shut his mouth again. Kyle could have hidden this fact until the end so why now? Why did he tell him now when they were going to separate anyway?

As if sensing Regius's trail of thought, Kyle spoke again this time with a chuckle.

"We are friends, aren't we? I don't want to lose a genuine friend just because of a small lie."

Regius scoffed but when he heard the word 'friends' the tension around his shoulders lessened.

"So your family didn't kick you out? Also... is your true name Kyle?"

Kyle mused and averted his eyes.

"About my family, they love me a lot and Kyle is my real name. I didn't lie about my name."

Regius huffed and pulled his sleeves up.

"Alright, I will forgive you. Just let me punch you once."

Kyle hissed and closed his eyes. He placed the communication crystal in the storage ring and got ready for the incoming pain.

Regius started laughing when he saw how easily Kyle accepted his punishment. The tense atmosphere around them disappeared and he jumped off the bed.

With a smile, he patted Kyle's shoulder.

"Tsk, I want to but your pretty face is in the way!"

Kyle opened his eyes and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Regius laughed again. He was truly angry at Kyle because of his lie but maybe he would also do the same if he suddenly found himself in an unknown place.

He paced back to the bed with a smile.

"Anyway Kyle, what is your rank? I can sense you are stronger than me that's why I can't sense your exact rank."

"Umm... (B-)-Rank."

Regius shuddered and snapped his head back to look at Kyle with shock.

"...(B-)-Rank?"

He stuttered and Kyle replied with a nod. Regius sucked in a cold breath. So strong! Moreover, to top it off Kyle was only 18 years old!

That means Kyle was a genius! He clicked his tongue because even in the 'Lune Academy' the highest rank recorded at the age of 18 was (D+)-Rank!

Regius didn't ask any more questions, he was too shocked. He took a bath absentmindedly and came out wearing a purple shirt with a golden leaf embedded in the chest.

Kyle raised his brow when he saw his shirt, it was very similar to those elves he saw in the alley.

'So they were from 'Lune Academy'.

He mused inwardly and thought about the porcelain bracelet.

'Should I give it to Regius?...'

He snapped out of his thoughts when Regius waved at him.

"Kyle, I am leaving. Well, it unnecessary considering your strength still take care."

Kyle nodded and jumped off the bed. He walked and stopped at the door, his eyes watched Regius's fading image.

After Regius was gone, Kyle went back and sat down on the bed. He closed his eyes and decided to get familiar with the mind space.
