Chapter 321 The Easiest To Push Around
"Boom.” That single word hit Cassian like a thunderp, leaving him utterly shocked,
He thought to himself, ''Her brother? Wait, did I hear that right? I''d already checked. Raven only has a younger brother here, no older ones. And those brothers from her past life? Unless they have a death wish, there is no way they''d show up here. No, no, I must''ve misheard. Yeah, that''s it. I misheard. But what if I
didn''t?''
Cassian''s heart skipped a beat. He didn''t dare think any further.
While Cassian was busy confirming his guess, Hiemaly looked at Raven, whose usually icy eyes carried a rare warmth. At the same time, his cold yet faintly amused voice echoed through the room, "Well, well. Look who finally remembers me, the brother, now that there''s a new man in her life."
Thest thread holding Cassian''s sanity snapped with a resounding crack.
He stared nkly at Hiemaly''s cold, handsome face, his mindpletely scrambled.
And in his slightly muddled mind, these words slowly surfaced, ''I''m screwed.''
Slowly, with stiff movements, he lowered his gaze to the floor, wondering, ''Is there still time for me to find a hole to hide?'' Just as Cassian was drowning in despair, Raven, who had already dressed under the covers, quickly got up and walked over to Hiemaly.
Standing close, she studied Hiemaly''s perpetually nk face and calm yet faintly frosty eyes. Almost instantly, Raven confirmed that this was her family''s untouchable prince.
Without hesitation, Raven raised her hand and pinched Hiemaly''s cool yet surprisingly smooth and handsome face. She looked curious and asked, "Hiemaly, how did you even get here?"
Hiemaly raised a hand, gently patting away the mischievous fingers on his face. His voice was calm as he exined, "The family got a treasure that lets a soul enter the lower world. Mom and Dad were worried you''d get picked on since you don''t have much power here, so they sent one of us to protect you."
Hearing this, Raven''s heart suddenly ached.
She knew projecting a soul into the lower world was no small thing. It could damage the soul, or worse, even cost a life. Even though her family knew she was strong and almost untouchable, they couldn''t help worrying and sent someone to protect her, even at the risk of dying.
''And Hiemaly, Raven thought, ''he was so silly. He risked his life just because he was worried I''d get picked on.''
Taking a deep breath, Raven looked at Hiemaly and said firmly, "Getting bullied won''t kill me, but if you lose your life just toe here, I''ll never forgive myself. Promise me you won''t do this again."
Hiemaly, avoiding her gaze with a hint of awkwardness, muttered, "I''m not that fragile."
Raven smiled faintly, trying to suppress the emotions surging in her heart. She then raised her hands and yfully rubbed Hiemaly''s handsome face.
''Oh! Even a baby''s skin can''t be this soft.'' As she marveled inwardly, Raven nced at Hiemaly and asked, "So, when they had to pick someone toe find me, how did you end up being the one? Is it because you''re the easiest to push around?" Hiemaly patted her hands away again, giving her a cool, sidelong nce. "Easiest to push around?"
''Do I look like an easy target?'' he thought indignantly.
Raven was at a loss for words.
She stared at Hiemaly, who exuded an untouchable, aloof aura. She thought of how her other brothers were helpless because of Hiemaly''s provocations. Suddenly, it hit her that she was the only one who could push Hiemaly around.
"Alright then. So, no one forced you toe here," Raven said jokingly. "Does that mean you fought for the chance toe and protect your most adorable and thoughtful little sister?"
Hiemaly chuckled softly at her words, his gaze sweeping over Raven from head to toe.
That look practically said, "How can you be so full of yourself?"
And than without caring shout Davon''s foolings he made un a lie.
