Chapter 25 - Past Mistake

"So, you are not a woman all along?!" Lucas was shouting at someone.

"Lucas, it is not my brother's fault! It was an order please understand-" A girl was defending the person who was getting shouted at.

"Ryn, I'll handle it so please step back." This person went in front of Ryn. "Lucas, let me explain. Please listen to me." 

Lucas gritted his teeth. He can't calm himself down, but he needs to listen before doing something that he might regret later. "Then tell me. Why do you need to pretend to be your sister! Miku or should I say Sai!"

Sai looks ashamed he can't look Lucas in the eyes. "It's… It's for my sister's safety… A lot of people are trying to harm her… I need to pretend to be my sister so she can be protected…" Sai explained to Lucas hoping he would understand.

"Sacrificing yourself?! Your life?! Sai, I thought you had died! But no! You were disguising yourself as your sister! You fooled me! You could have said something! I could have helped you!" Lucas was getting frustrated from what's happening. Sai 's explanation only made him angrier.

"Listen Lucas I'll explain more so please let's go inside hmm?" Sai was trying his best to get his trust again.

"And why should I listen to you? Who knows what lies you're going to tell me again. You made me look like a fool Sai." Lucas was being stubborn, and he can't accept the betrayal he got from Sai.

"It wasn't my intention to fool you, Lucas!" Sai shouted to Lucas. 

"Wasn't your intention? You have a choice to tell me, Sai!" Lucas said angrily. "You had me fooled from the very beginning! Both of you had me wrap around your fingers! Did the two of you have fun fooling me? Playing with my feelings?!" Lucas pointed at Sai. His eyes are full of hatred and anger. 

"No! No, believe me it is not my intention to fool you…" Sai replied hesitantly. "I will tell you everything, let's talk inside where we can be safe-" Before Sai could finish his sentence he was suddenly shot by an unknown arrow. Lucas reacts fast and catches Sai before falling to the ground. 

"Sai! Talk to me!" Lucas shouted in panic. Everyone inside the castle went out to see what was happening. "Call the guards and capture that assassin now! And call the emperor and the empress!" Lucas then looks at Ryn. "This is all your fault!" 

Sai interrupted Lucas. "Lucas… I'm sorry… Please take care of Ryn for me…" And that was the last word of Sai before losing his 49th life.

...…

Back in the future…

"Ugh why did I think of that! I must focus on the future now. So, I won't make the same mistake again." Sai was irritated because he remembered what happened before.

"Okay." Lucas suddenly spoke.

Sai looks at him confused because he was focused on reminiscing about the past. "Huh?"

"I said, okay. We can hangout for a bit." Lucas replied.

Sai was shocked since he didn't expect him to actually accept his offer. "Oh… Okay let's go."
