"Shu,"

I whimpered, pulling on his sleeve tightly as I began to thrash around beneath him before he held both of my wrists with his hand and clasped my mouth with another.

Jolting at a foreign sensation, he began to tighten up his grip on me before he finished off and pulled away from me, smiling at the mess he created.

"Don't make me angry,"

He whispered, pushing two digits inside me and curling them up to hit my spot, making another mess with my body for another few hours until he decided that it was enough for me.

"You're so beautiful,"

He muttered, taking my hand in his as he nuzzled against it gently, placing kisses on my wrist and arm softly before he took a napkin from his blazer's pocket and cleaned up our mess.

Hearing the bell's ring, we decided to leave the rooftop as he carried me in princess style before we blended with the other students in the crowded main hall as it was time to go home.

"Where were you?"

Reiji called, stopping us from going outside as Shu pulled me against him closer, glaring at Reiji with a faint scoff.

"Spending some time,"

He replied, making Reiji looking at him attentively, waiting for Shu to finish his sentence before it made Reiji glared harshly at Shu.

"With my bride,"

A couples of students that heard Shu let out a gasp, knowing very well of how our families were, especially because Shu was the current master of the manor as I came from one of the Founder families, making us a very sensational news and gossips.

"I see,"

Reiji gritted teeth teeth as three of us walked into the limo before the driver closed the door and ushered away the other students and reporters who trying to pry more information about Shu's and my relationship.

Draping an arm over my shoulder, Shu looked at Reiji in disguised anger, trying not to make any troubles during the ride to home as I kept my head low and close against Shu's chiseled chest.

"Yours truly wants- Watch out!"

Ayato grabbed Yui by her wrist as Shu covered my head with his arm while the others protected themselves away from the hit from the unknown source.

Peeking out through a small space, I looked over Shu's shoulder and noticed a dark haired man with white tips, looking at me with a faint scowl on his face before he disappeared into the fog and left a trail of red rose petals on his previous spot.

"..Bridgette!"

I looked at Shu, touching his cheek gently as he fixed his gaze on me, taking a good look of my face to see any faint scratch or cut after the limo flipped over from the road.

Sighing in relief, Shu pulled me into a tight embrace before we left the limo and stood up in a foreign forest while looking around for some signs, especially of the culprit behind this accident.

"Who do you think could do such a thing.."

Yui muttered as none of us opened our lips until I remembered the faint glimpse of the dark haired man who stood on the road right after we fell off from there.

"A man, dark hair with white tips,"

"Mukami.."

Ayato growled as I nodded, folding my arms over my chest as Shu draped his blazer over my shoulders while we waited for another limo to pick us up from this spot before we could finally arrive at the manor.

Assembling in the living room, none of the brothers had a smile plastered over their faces after Ayato mentioned the name during the suspicion of the culprit.

Even though Shu looked nonchalant about this problem, he stayed awake from his desired nap and took off a bud, looking at Reiji earnestly as he explained about a theory of this.

"They wanted Yui because they want to be a pureblood,"

None of us rejected this idea, especially because there was a specific rumour about how the Mukami was created by the Karlheinz himself to do his works without dirtying his hands up.

Stepping away from the discussion, I walked to the balcony, looking for a fresh air as I noticed Yui, crouching down to see the roses in Cordelia's garden before few men surrounded her.

Following her step, I made sure my pace could keep up with her so that I was able to save her from the strangers.

"Too bad,"

"Huh?"

I whipped my head to see the voice owner and stood in silent as the said haired man look at me with an indifferent expression before he made me lost my consciousness.

".. turns out the Eve is not Yui Komori,"

I heard another voice whispered faintly before I completely lost my consciousness.



"..Eve,"

I heard a faint, soothing voice as I woke up in an empty hall with an apple tree in the middle of the lake in it, with Yui leaning against the tree with her eyes closed.

Walking towards her direction, I tried to wake her up by tapping her shoulder gently, only to find myself stumbled upon nothing and realising that I couldn't touch her nor able to be heard by her.

"Yui!"

I called again after few failed attempts before I finally stopped doing it and sat down on the grass, waiting for this dream to end as I felt a hand on my shoulder.

Looking behind it, I saw a white haired woman with an updo at the left side of her head and long, intertwining side hairs framed her delicate, sorrowful expression.

Not far from her, I saw two other women with blond hair and dark navy hair with a heavy resemblance to me, smiling at me while waving lightly at me.

"My sons, love you,"

The blond lady said with a cold expression, but a small smile tugging on her lips as she touched my cheek gently, caressing it lovingly as the white haired lady shifted her gaze away from me before opened her mouth.

"That filthy thing, also holds the same feeling towards you,"

She muttered softly, looking at the crystal clear lake in silent before skinny dipped her bare feet into there, making it rippling slowly and made a faint dripping sound to fill this place.

"And I'm proud of you,"

The navy hair lady, pulling me into a tight hug as I inhaled her scent deeply, smiling against her warm embrace as a sudden idea hit me right on the spot.

The blond lady is Beatrix, Shu's and Reiji's mother. As the white hair lady is Christa, Subaru's mother, and the one who embraced me so tightly is my biological mother, Ophelia.

"I can't believe that I'm able to hold you like this,"

She whispered as I sighed in relief, nodding softly against her, telling her that I'd been longing for her this whole time.

"Ah, if only I can see you in the real world, too,"

She muttered in vain as I smiled and told her that this was already enough for me, including seeing her face for the first time after I got separated from her after she gave birth to me.

I tried to take a good look of her face, smiling bitterly at her sullen eyes and defined cheeks, showing no desire of something as I clasped her hand tightly.

"Here she comes,"

Christa muttered, looking at Yui's direction as I noticed that she had woken up and was not alone, in fact, a purple haired lady stood up right in front of her as it hit me, it was Cordelia.

"No, Yui!"

I called, trying to run at her side as I noticed a barrier that separated us that was not far from the bridge that connected the small island that Yui stood up with Cordelia and mine.

Placing a hand on my shoulder, Beatrix shook her head lightly, looking at me with a warning gaze as Mother pulled me closer to her.

"As long as Cordelia didn't wake up in Yui's body in the real world, then it'll be okay,"

Christa said, plucking a white rose from its bush as the wall around us began to spin and gradually getting faster than before after a while as Mother let my hand go.

'We'll meet again, my daughter..'
