Stuck as a Villain!

Chapter 105: Broken girl…

"Serena, stay here."

"But..."

Before the blonde could have made sense of the sudden interruption by the council president's secretary or why she was blood-bathed right now, Seth got up from his seat and levitated high in the air, before darting toward a south-eastern direction.

Ciel also didn't wait there since anxiety and concern for her roommate didn't let her dilly-dally around as the girl used her teleportation skill and vanished from sight.

Left alone in the garden, Serena stood still for some seconds before she finished her tea and decided to retreat. She also had to check on the artifact which the President gave which would help her negate her curiosity toward the thing which made the President, that much panicked.

'Anabelle huh... I wonder what relationship they two have... '

It didn't take much time for Seth to reach the dorm where most of the female populace of the school lives. It was situated just two hundred meters away from the main building thus providing efficient commuting time.

In normal circumstances, Seth would never have chosen to enter the dorm where males were strictly forbidden. Getting the title of pervert was not something Seth could ever entertain. But things demanded him to go out of his way and stroll inside the building where he saw Ciel already waiting near the reception.

There was no warden near the counter which made Seth slightly surprised but he brushed it away and began following his secretary who led him upstairs.

Reaching the second floor, it didn't take much time for Seth to realize which room he had to rush toward since there was a small group of girls and an elderly woman already crowding near a specific door making Seth rush his steps.

"Move."

A single wave of soul energy traveled with his voice which made the crowd disoriented as they made way for Seth who didn't wait before entering inside...or he tried to.

"Ah..."

Seth felt a thick barrier stopping his movements just at the door as he tried to make his way inside. Soon Ciel's words clarified the reason.

"She is not letting anyone inside the room and considering the things I have heard from her...I felt it would be better to call you first rather than a professor."

Seth was no longer hearing her words since his focus was currently gathered solely inside the room.

Just like others, Seth could also see the interiors of the room which was painted in crimson with different kinds of patterns which ranged from the alphabet to some childish drawings.

Most of the writing said, "Nii-sama or 'Iamsorry.'

Considering the color of the paint used on the walls, Seth concluded that something organic like human blood has been used to draw all those figures and letters.

Seth was not that much affected by the letter of apology she has written all over but by the drawings, she had crafted on the walls which consisted of a big boy and a small girl holding hands. It might not make any sense to others but the person who has spent hours seeing the same drawings in the past life, knows what value it was worth for.

Mayu always was bad in her drawings yet she always liked to sketch herself and him in the past and every time she brings out her sketchbook to show him in return for getting praised which Seth never failed to give away.

He might be upset because of what she did but the person who has considered his sister everything in his life for eighteen years could not just see his imouto in such a devastated condition.

Taking out a dagger from his inventory which had an effect added to disrupt soul energy, he slashed the barrier before walking inside.

The heavy rusty smell of blood assaulted his senses but he was not affected by it rather he felt his emotions wavering even more since he could already deduce the blood all around belonged to a single person who currently was curled up in a corner.

Her arms had several cuts and wounds. Her skin was paler than a sheet, signifying the blood loss she had to the point her skin began to seem wrinkly. Her once beautiful cascading hair was now torn in an unshapely manner and scrambled in a mess.

It took a lot from Seth to not just pick up his sister and rush to the nearest healer since he knew he had to first calm her down.

It can only be an older sibling who could understand, how painful it was for Seth to see his dear little sister whom he vowed to protect but now finding her in such misery. His heart was aching at the sight but he held himself together before bringing his hand over her head and using his skill [Lull] just upon the interaction.

"Mayu... "

Anabelle jerked hearing the word in such familiar warming tone before her eyes snapped and wandered around in anxiety and excitement still caved in between her arms and knees.

Her heart began beating faster before she lifted her gaze only to see the person she desired the most to meet past forty-eight hours yet she was allowed to. His face overlapped with the person he was in the past, but Anabelle had no trouble confirming that this was the same person whom she loves more than anything and anyone in her life.

Her nii-sama....was here!

But he was still angry with her, doesn't he? She did such a thing to deserve it but a life without her brother is not something Anabelle could ever live through. She has to give up on herself then maybe her brother would remember her in a good way and she could see him from the afterlife and-

"What nonsense are you thinking? "

There was a deep frown on Seth's forehead as he read the fluctuating thoughts of the girl which were dangerous, to say the least. She really was unstable right now to make any kind of conversation.

But he could not show his upset side to her since he already could see moisture building in her large eyes just because he said two words in a stern voice.

"I-I *sniff*...sorry... I never... Nii-sama...how could I... "

Anabelle was a broken mess. What she was saying or wanted to convey was tangled up in between her sobs and whimpers. She wanted to apologize and get back together with her brother. She could do anything to be seen in the same light he used to look at her.

'This girl... '

Seth signed, witnessing how different Mayu actually was from how she represented herself in the past. If not for him reading her mind at the moment, he would have declared she was being fake, that much polar opposite these two sides of Mayu were.

She used to be cheery and energetic, yet now all he could see was a broken girl who was desperately extending her hand to get her brother's warmth.

"I am not going anywhere, so just relax and let yourself get treated. "

As he said, Seth leaned forward before collecting the girl in his arms, sending a numbing sleepy sensation to her mind making the girl fall unconscious before Seth stood holding her in a bridal carry as he walked out of the room under the varying gazes of the onlookers.

What Seth currently was feeling was a mixture of anxiety and sadness but later in the day, when he would be prying into her mind to gather her memories, he would repent his actions...
