Don't ever depend on anyone in this world.

Even your shadow will leave you in darkness.

”Can I touch your hair?” The boy named Nikolai, and was a new student in Blue's school, had been fascinated by her white hair and would tail behind her everywhere she went.

Actually, Blue didn't mind him being curious about her. She didn't get along well with the other students. While most of them didn't want to have trouble with her, the rest were simply afraid of her. Whether it was because of her fierceness or her family background.

But, the thing that bothered her was the fact that he had a piece of Chaos' shattered soul…

What should she do about this?

Unlike before, Blue didn't let Knox know about it and was slightly relieved because Chaos had not yet returned since the last time she dreamed about him. Actually, Blue was not sure whether that was a dream or not…

”Okay,” Blue said, she let the boy, who was shorter than her and was so skinny, touch her hair when they were in the locker room.

Miraculously, their lockers were next to each other. It had been a week since they met for the first time and during that time, the boy only talked to her.

Apparently, he didn't get along quite well with the other student either. He was too small and looked so weak for his age, thus no boys wanted to ask him to join any physical games.

”Your hair is very soft…” he gushed, touching her long hair with care. His dark blue eyes glimmered in adoration.

”Thank you,” Blue said, locking her locker and then slung her bag over her left shoulder. ”You won't come to math class?” she asked.

Nikolai dropped his hand and shook his head. ”I have a tournament coming up next month, so I need to practice.”

Nikolai was a pianist, he was able to enter this prestigious school because of his talent, not because of his family name. Maybe that was another reason why he didn't get along with the other students too well.

Blue nodded and was about to walk away when Nikolai stopped her and made her turn around.

”Do you want to see me play the piano?” he asked.

”And skip the math class?” Blue tilted her head.

Lise tossed and turned in her sleep, she curled her body under the blanket because she felt cold, but then she got rid of the covers because it was too hot.

She didn't know what was happening to her, but she didn't feel good about herself. Thankfully, Gael didn't visit her as often as before.

The man started to learn how to give her space, as long as she was still within his eyesight and under his control.

Probably it was because their wedding would be held in less than a week, thus it gave him a sense of relief, thinking that once he married her, Lise would be completely his.

However, for Lise, the closer her wedding day got, the more anxious she became.
