Fearful

Aadin realizes what he is doing and loosen the grip on Dia and steps back. He is breathing heavily as blood is coming out of his nose and he starts coughing up blood. Bandai holds him and pats his back.

He shrugs off and returns back on his foot, "I'm going back to my room"

Dia is trembling with fear and unable to speak. Kai hugs her tightly and pats her back. "Are you alright Dia?"

"Speak something" ~"Don't scare me" ~"Say something"

Her face is completely white from fear as she speaks with her faded voice, "He is scary. I'm scared" She burst into tears and hugs Kai back. "It was scary" ~"I couldn't move my body as if I am paralyzed" ~"Is it because I didn't train diligently?"

Kai: No! It's not like that. Calm down. Butler Chen!! Bring the cinnamon tea for her.

Dia looks at her shaking hands. Her feet started burning and her heart kept beating fast. Kai takes off his cloak and covers her and asks her to follow his advice

- "Dia take 3 breaths slowly as I start" *he holds her hand and looks into her teary eyes* "Breath in \~\~ Breath out - Good!"

She closes her eyes and take 3 deep breaths and she could feel her body getting back to normal and her heart to stop pounding crazily.

Kai: Here\, take cinnamon tea and sit here. Give me a minute. *he goes to Aadin's room*

*shouts* "Aadin\, You couldn't even protect your fake identity yet you want to protect the country. You see why King and Hamd asked you to leave the castle. Was it so hard to live as Din? Answer me Aadin. \~He groans out of anger and grabs Aadin's collar out of anger\~ If you hurt Dia\, I'll forget who you are and kill you myself. Understood?"

Aadin stayed numb and looked at Kai's face blankly. "Is she alive?" He asked this question slowly.

Kai scoffs his neck and let it go, "Luckily, I came by on time"

On hearing this, Aadin feels relieved. "Something is different.", he looks confusingly at Bandai and Kai.

Bandai: What do you mean?

Aadin: I never let out my anger like this before. Things should be bad but everything is fine. How so?

Kai: Cause she was holding the royal sacred possessions in bag. Come out, we need to talk to Dia as well. You better apologize on your knees to her *he glares at him" Fool.

Aadin: Tsk! yeah, I understood.

They all three leaves the room and goes out to the hall. Kai goes and sits with Dia. -"Are you alright?"

Dia nods quietly and holds his arm tightly as she looks at Aadin coming after Bandai.

Kai: Stay calm. I'll explain everything and answer all your questions.

Bandai pushes Aadin signaling him to go forward and ask for forgiveness.

Aadin knows inside that he is at fault yet his royal pride is stopping him to ask for forgiveness.

Kai: If you don't want to taste my blade then start spouting already.

Aadin: Tsk! I'm sorry. *he looks at Dia with pale and scared face* The sight of her pitiful face made the heart of this cold heartened beast melt in a spilt second. He felt more guilty and his legs automatically loosen up and the next moment he was already on his knees.

Bandai looks shockingly at Kai.

Aadin: Please forgive me.

Dia is still looking at his face with blank emotions as she grips Kai's arm more tightly.

Aadin: Hey! Crow!!

Dia comes back to her senses and realizes Aadin on his knees in front of her.

~"Uh-huh, It's okay. Let's just live like I don't know you. Stay at my place until you feel like. Don't come in my sight anymore."

~Aadin flusters up on hearing it. "Huh, you are saying that to me? For real? Even I am on my knees right now"

Dia: What do you expect then after trying to kill me. Should I be hugging you? What do you think is normal? Hah!

Kai: Dia, Calm down. Let's talk.

Dia: Brother Kai, Mr. Din is your apprentice, I'll lethim stay at my place for a while and let them move out to somewhere more safe.

Kia: Dia...

Dia: He is too strong to kill someone. Why need protection of Wisteria's?
