Chapter 33

*Lenalee's point of view

What should I do? I mean … well … I trust Alyce but I'm not sure if I should go on with what she's doing.

She has a right enough reason as to why she's helping him. I would probably do the same to the person who saved my life but still … going as far as giving him a room and less guards is still … I don't really know.

He is injured so it is right to treat the wounds and give attention but … there's nothing more besides that. I really should just trust her. She can take care of things. She is Alyce after all but she doesn't take care of herself too well that I'm worried.

There's another problem besides Tyki. I don't think she told Allen yet. Why though? I think he's had a suspicion and is slowly hurting. I would want to tell him since he deserves it but I don't think that I'm the right person to do that. She is his sister. She has the right. And he has too. Will she ever tell him? And why hasn't she told him yet?

*Lavi's point of view

Bookman keeps increasing work every day. I feel like drowning in these piles of work. I need to stay up late again if I ever want to finish. It is already half past twelve.

Almost everyone is asleep at this time. There are some in the science department but most are already asleep. I'm still in the library, staying up late with only one light. All are supposedly turned off but since I'm here, they let me use one light. It's very dark in the other areas.

And the room is very still and quiet. I'm the only one here since Bookman was away. He'll be coming back tomorrow night. He expects to return and find me finished so I really need to sleep late or maybe not even sleep at all.

My eyes are hardly open but I need to stay awake. I got up and decided to get coffee. I left the library and went back there with the coffee after half an hour.

I would have gone straight to work but I heard sudden movement. I placed the coffee on the table and stopped moving for awhile. The sound came from the far corner to which I slowly headed. I wanted to see who would come here this late. It is quite unusual and aroused my curiosity.

I reached the corner and looked around. There was no sight of any person but there are signs that there was someone there just awhile ago.

There is only one entrance and exit here. Where could that person have gone? There's no other way.

I must have been hearing things. It is already late. I guess that has something to do with exhaustion. I was about to walk away until someone fell on me.

I fell backwards and hit my head on the shelf. It took quite some time before I grasped the situation.

"Sorry."

I blinked my eyes a few times to be sure that it was indeed Lilia who was before me.

Why is she here? Why is a child here in the library at this time?

"What are you doing here? It's already late."

"I just came to borrow a book to read."

"Then why are you here? I don't think a child reads these types of books. What have you got there?"

I said as me eye caught the book that she was holding in her hand. It was a book on Asian history. My eye gave a questioning look since a child her age wouldn't be reading anything like that. I did in the past but that was a different case.

"Why do you have that?"

"To read."

"A child your age doesn't read things like that. Can you even understand it?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you try telling me about it?"

"I haven't read it yet so I don't know."

"Have you read other books like that?"

"Yes."

"Give me the title."

"How about you tell me the story? I think you've read it already."

"Why do you have that book?"

"I said that I'll read."

"Why did you come here at this time? You could always go in the day."

"I've got training."

"Allen's away so you currently don't. Why are you still awake?"

"How about you?"

"I've got work. Answer the question."

She didn't answer my question and just hit me on the head with the book then ran out through the door.

That hurt. The kid's gonna pay for that one. I already feel tired then I just had to get hit in the head. I'll find out why. I will and I can.
