Chapter 27
*Tyki's point of view
I know I shouldn't have said those words but I did. I already let her live. If I let anything go on beyond that, things would get worst.
I don't really like lying to her but I have to. Life would be harder for her if she knew. Things would get complicated and there's a chance that she might become a fallen.
I don't want that to happen. I don't want her to suffer that much. I don't want her to be in harm's way. She is important to me. I've cared for her in a way I shouldn't have.

The food and drink was placed on the tray along with the medicine. I took the tray then walked towards the door of the room.
I knocked at the door and then slowly opened it. A dagger came flying at me but hit the door instead. It barely missed me by a few centimeters.
"I know you want to kill me and all that but you'll die if you kill me. The earl doesn't take it too kindly if one of his family members was killed."
"I don't care."
"Who'd feed you and treat your wounds?"
"I'll do it myself."
"When you can barely move?"
"I'll do what I can."
I placed the tray on the table then sat at the edge of the bed.
"Let me see the wound on your arm. It must have reopened when you threw that dagger."
"Why do you care?"
"Cause I'll have to treat it again. Now show me the wound."
She hesitantly moved her arm away from the covers of the bed then showed me the wound. It did reopen. Blood started to flow out once more.
"Wait here while I get more bandages," I said as I stood up then walked towards the door.

*Alyce's point of view
Tyki is really confusing. First, he says something about using me. Next, he's all kind to me despite the plan on using me but I guess it's because a broken weapon is no use in a battle.
The wound that reopened really hurt. I shouldn't have thrown that dagger if I'll miss the target on purpose. I only did that to vent out my anger on him. Should I throw the other dagger at him again? I really am frustrated right now that I feel like throwing things.
The door opened once more and another dagger was flying towards Tyki. It missed him again and hit the door.
"If you're not directly hitting me then please stop. I'll have to replace the door if you do that again. It's not going to make it on the third hit."
"Would you like me to directly hit you?"
"From your distance, it's not possible. I could easily dodge it."
"You're wrong about that, Tyki. I can hide the presence of the dagger too."
"But you aren't planning on doing that. You're just frustrated about something."
"Not something, some things or a lot of things. And how can you tell?"
"I've known you long enough."
"Regrettably."
"Then again, I guess I can put up with you throwing daggers at me. It's better than you trying to escape or acting paranoid."
"I'm not really the type to act too paranoid."
"It hurts right?"
"It does."
"Show me the wound."
I did as said then Tyki said. He removed the bandages then treated the reopened wounds. It stung a bit but I managed. I somehow got used to pain already. He placed another roll of bandages then placed the tray before me.
"Eat up."
"I can do that myself."
"Your wounds still hurt, right?"
"It does but how can I trust you that that is not poisoned or other things?"
"Why should I go to the trouble of treating your wounds if I'm going to kill you?"
"Why didn't you kill me?"
"I already said my reasons, didn't I?"
"What are you going to use me for?"
"Do you think I'll answer that?"
"Not really."
"Then eat."
"No."
"It's not poisoned, okay? I cooked it myself."
"Shouldn't I be more reluctant to eat after hearing that?"
"That's cruel, Alyce. My cooking improved."
"Why don't you eat it yourself then?"
"I will eat my part later after you finish."
"Eat now since I don't really have an appetite to eat."
Tyki suddenly took the spoon then ate the food.
"See, it's not poisoned."
"It wasn't poisoned. Now it is after you took a bite."'
"You really hate me, don't you?"
"I always did say that I did, didn't I?"
"But there was one time you said that you didn't really hate me."
"The past isn't that important. I hate you now."
"It is important. Our past is what makes us."
"And hell it made me hate you."
"I know, now eat up."
"Fine, but only because I'm hungry."
"I know. Drink the medicine after that then rest. I'll be away for awhile."
"I will."
"And don't bother escaping. There are akuma outside. You'll only end up killing yourself."
He then left the room and closed the door behind him. Silence filled the room and I was alone.
