Chapter 244 Rejection?
Meanwhile, back at where Yuki was. She was currently drinking some wine and was thinking about what Serene had said to her.
"What the hell does she even mean by that? Open my heart because Anna is waiting. Is it because of that kiss? Does Anna truly have romantic feelings for me, or is it just admiration for me?" Yuki asked herself a lot of questions that she didn\'t know the answer to.
Yuki will admit that if Anna is around her, her mood gets better all the time. Even if she was annoyed by something, whenever she hears Anna\'s gentle voice, her irritation would magically disappear.
"Anna…" Yuki muttered under her breath as she took another sip of her wine. She was in deep thought right now, about whether she should accept the feeling that she is feeling or not. If she should open her heart once again.
She doesn\'t even trust her Mother right now, so how should she trust someone that is a random person to her not long ago? The two of them only met a few months ago. But she feels like she is missing her every second and that she is not by her side.
Once Yuki made up her mind, she called in some maids to clean up the table, and set out to find where Anna was. She wants to test something first.
"Where is Anna?" Yuki asked the maids before she left, and after getting an answer she made her way back to the garden where the maids said to her.
When Yuki arrived in the garden, she heard the familiar sound of Zither playing.
"So you\'re here. Why are you playing your Zither alone here?" Yuki asked as she first lays her eyes upon Anna.
"Kyaa! You scared me." Anna jumped out in surprise because she was sitting on top of a tree. She lost her balance and eventually fell, but before she could hit the ground she felt two arms carrying her. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw two eyes looking at her with a smile.
"You are so jumpy. How did I scare you?" Yuki carried Anna\'s body towards one of the benches nearby and made Anna sit on her lap.
"Put me down! It\'s embarrassing!" Anna struggled to get out of Yuki\'s lap, she was so embarrassed by what was happening that she wanted to crawl into a hole to hide.
"Why? I thought that you like me. You even kissed me one time." Yuki smirked at Anna and tried to kiss her.
"That was a mistake! I didn\'t mean to kiss you at that time, my emotions got into me because of what you said to me." Anna accepted her defeat and buried her head in Yuki\'s chest, and when she saw no resistance from Yuki, she smiled.
"Does that mean that it was also a mistake that you like me?" Yuki asked Anna with a straight face.
"NO! I truly like- no. I truly love you because of who you are. I don\'t care about the experience that makes you not trust someone, but I love who you are. I love how strong you are, the way you handle problems, and your aloof side. I will accept, and of course, how beautiful you are. I don\'t care what people say about you, that you are a cold-blooded killer, merciless. I will always stay beside you." Anna confessed everything to Yuki.
After Anna mustered up her courage to say all of it to Yuki. She closed her eyes and went closer to Yuki to kiss her, at first she was planning to kiss Yuki\'s lips, but after thinking about it. She chose not to and kissed Yuki\'s cheeks.
"I see, so that\'s how you feel about me. Thank you for telling me. Let me think about it first." Yuki gently placed Anna by the side of the bench, and then stood up to leave the garden. After getting the answer she wanted, Yuki wants to sort out her mind a bit.
But, Anna misunderstood it as a rejection from Yuki. She felt heartbroken suddenly, she felt like crying, but she held on to her tears and waved goodbye to Yuki.
"Okay, I will wait for your answer." Anna gave Yuki her best smile which looked like it was about to break. She felt that Yuki didn\'t want to give her any answer to not hurt her feelings, and that\'s why she answered like that. But, Anna was wrong about it.
When Yuki was finally out of Anna\'s sight, she broke out in tears. Her tears didn\'t stop flowing from her eyes. The feeling of being \'rejected\' by Yuki was more painful than all of the injuries that she got all her life combined.
"Anna what\'s wrong!? Why are you crying?" Sylvie held Anna\'s weak body. She was visiting Anna, but when she found that Anna was crying, she quickly rushed in.
But, Anna didn\'t answer Sylvie, she just clutched her shirt and cried loudly. She didn\'t care about her surroundings anymore.
Seeing her best friend like this, Sylvie couldn\'t take it anymore and used her powers to make Anna fall asleep.
"Why is she like this? Wait, did she confess to Miss Yuki, and got rejected? It makes sense since I saw Miss Yuki come out of the garden." After thinking about it, Sylvie knew that she was correct in her guess. She felt bad about her friend that got rejected, but she doesn\'t know what to do to make her feel better.
A day has passed since then, and Anna stayed in Sylvie\'s house because she didn\'t want to face Yuki right now. At first, Yuki was confused about why Anna suddenly decided to stay at Sylvie\'s house. But, she didn\'t ask any more questions and just let her be.
But, after a few days passed. Anna still didn\'t come back. Yuki was getting worried about her safety, so she sent some Ice Golems that protected her from the sidelines, but when she got the reports that Anna hasn\'t come out of Sylvie\'s house, it only made her more confused about why she isn\'t returning to her house.
"Why is she still not coming back? She said nothing when she left, she just said that she wanted to stay there for a bit. But, a week has already passed since she left." Yuki sighed, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to visit where Anna is.
She quickly got into her Ice Dragon and rode through the Galaxies to go to the Elf\'s Queendom. When she arrived, she saw that all the Elves looked at her differently, she could sense some fear and curiosity, but the one thing she felt the most from them was hatred. But, she didn\'t care about it, it was Queen Alex\'s fault that she died.
Finally, Yuki arrived at Sylvie\'s house, and from the looks of her house, it looks very comfortable inside. It was not like her extravagant mansion. But, when she arrived at Sylvie\'s house, she noticed that Anna and Sylvie were not inside. So, Yuki asked the neighbors around and found that both of them went to a brothel, but it was a different kind, the ones that visit it are all women.
