His deep low tone of voice reverberated within the airs that were cornering us and yet, all I could do was gulp.

I could barely see him, but I knew that he must have been eyeing the same person that I had been looking at, as if observing Caliere wasn't enough, as if there was something about him mysterious enough to deal with and one of that was when Jer managed to bring me to calm when I saw him in that vision.

Bloodied with two of the people he was talking about, one with the knight and one with the white robe people.

I felt as if the more I delved into this matter, the more I would be dragged into his world, a world that I barely knew a world that he must have been keeping a secret, and yet a world that he only had reasons to live, or to harm people.

Yet, I vowed from that moment that I would know him, I would enter his world, but just to know why he did those things to me in the past, because these feelings I have for him, must have been fading as time went on, with the distance between us.

The eyes that shone like it's giving me life every time that I looked at them as if they were the only light I could descend my eyes on, and the very blinding light that destroyed me, even until now, I felt as if I couldn't remove my gaze from them.

As if I was still this captivated even though I had admitted to myself that my feelings were no longer here.

Perhaps, there was still something within me that I kept on denying...

"Just be certain that you would not put your whole trust in your Fiance, Lady Vestia..." I could hear Jer's words ringing through my mind and all I did was nod but my eyes were still in front, in the vision where I have myself the man that could never look at me the same way he would do with Liana.

"You look as if you're near but I felt like you're in a very far place, Vestia," Caliere said putting his tea down then gazed at my eyes but he averted them to look around.

Some butterflies appeared right in front of us, ones that had yellow colors, the others had white and some had blue, they fluttered around and descended to the flowers.

I could see how Caliere put his pointing finger up and a butterfly landed on it.

Two of them, and they seemed to be friends, even creatures like them have this sense of belongingness in this world.

"They looked so much livelier, right?" His voice became softer and careful but calmer. I could see from my clone's eyes how his eyes did the same thing and as if everything was engulfed with mists, bathed in golden dust, I couldn't see anything more than his sweet smile and the way he gazed at the two butterflies in his hands.

"You know, I'm sometimes reminded by you, whenever I see some butterflies, Vestia," Caliere spoke, and his nostalgic voice that only belonged to Liana seemed to appear right in front of me.

That I, even if I was indeed far away from him, and had this young man beside me, named Jer, could still feel as I he was reachable, as if I could reach him and he would grab my hands in no hesitation.

But then, a sudden thunderous voice became a point where I had to halt these overflowing feelings right from the start as if I was indeed bathed in cold water.

"Lady Vestia, you should know the reason why that event took place, and we never know if he had something up against his sleeves," Jer said and without batting an eye from the image right in front, I narrowed my gazes and uttered some breaths before finally uttering some words.
