Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 17 Flying

Past times

It's been a week since I got engaged to Keith. He was kind, friendly and always joking with me. Our first meeting was a little strange and not romantic at all. I don't know how he feels about me, but I like him. I can't wait to see him again.

Spending time in the room is boring. Sometimes I spend time on something useless, writing a letter to Keith. Asking the news, how his day, want to quickly meet and know everything about him. Why is that useless? Because I burned it right after the letter. Never got to the receiver. I was too embarrassed to send it to Keith. 

My brother won't let me get in touch with the outside world. He forbade me from texting anyone else. I was honestly a little curious about Eric. I haven't seen him in a long time. However, I knew his busyness therefore I did not want to disturb him by suddenly teleporting to the palace.

It was night, I was getting ready to go to sleep. 

Tuk... Tuk... Tuk...

What is that sound? It wasn't a knock on my bedroom door. I opened my eyes, feeling anxious. My eyes were on the balcony door. The door is made of a combination of wood and glass that is used to see the scenery outside the room. The reason I looked at the door was because there was someone standing there.

Why is Keith visiting me all these nights? I immediately got up and opened the door for Keith.

"Why are you here, Keith?" That's the writing I put to Keith.

"I just want to take you for a walk Diana."

He can do it when he meets me tomorrow. After all, even the streets, we only went around my residence. The same view every day. I wrote something in the notebook.

'That night?'

"True, without your brother's knowledge. I want you to see what the outside world is like now. You must be tired of being in this room, Diana."

That's a great idea, but how? We can't possibly get on a horse-drawn carriage that will arouse suspicion. The only way is teleportation. By the way how did Keith get up here? I think he used leg reinforcement magic to jump.

'How do?'

"I'll show you. So you want to?" ask Keith to confirm my wish.

I nodded excitedly. It's stressful but at the same time fun. It was like being in a secret relationship.

Keith took my hand, brought my body closer to his. I hope he doesn't realize that my heart is beating fast. His hands are on the back of my knees and back. I haven't had a chance to react, he's already propped me up and lifted me up. I was carried by him. He smiled at me.

"Hold hold, Diana."

I put my arm around his neck. In my heart I wonder what Keith would do. 

Keith went up to the side of the balcony. I close my eyes and get ready to slide down. However, it does not feel the pounding of the feet that touch the ground. 

I opened my eyes slowly. The scenery around me changed. This is not in my house. We were in the sky, hovering in the air. I looked at Keith with a big question mark.

"This is my unique magic, Diana. I can fly," replied with a smile looking at me, as if I knew what I wanted to ask.

Then we went around, enjoying the view around. This is the first time I've seen it from such a height. What an amazing experience. 

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

I nodded without looking at Keith's face. My gaze cannot be distracted from the beauty I see now. I will not forget it all my life. I continue to thank Keith for showing such a sight. I hope he'll take me to fly like this again.

***

I looked at Keith. I didn't think he'd take me flying like I did in my previous life. Why is he doing all this?

"To your abode" Keith replied briefly.

So that's why Keith asked me to send my carriage back. He wanted to take me flying like this. 

"Is this your unique magic?"

I pretended not to know, even though I knew it. Keith hasn't told me about this in my life.

"Truely my unique magic is to fly. If your magic is unique what is Diana?"

I told Keith once in my life before. Should I tell Keith my unique magic? However, unique magic is the secret of witches. You could say as an ace hidden. Keith showed it to me. There's no way I'm covering this up.

"I can teleport."

"It looks like we could have been faster if we had just used teleportation magic."

"It doesn't hurt to see the view from above."

"It's good that you're happy."

It's true I feel happy. I have long missed this beauty. The scenery is different, I used to see this at night. And now, on the bright day. I like both of them. When bright, greenery is able to cool the heart, and the colors of the world are visible. When the night, the glittering lights and the night sky are getting closer to make me fall asleep. Even so I don't want to show my joy.

Without me knowing we had arrived at my residence. Keith kissed my hand, smiled at me and said goodbye. He returned to his residence by flying. I looked at his figure that was disappearing in the sky.

***

Today I have a completely unexpected guest. Not Derek. Not Keith, either. Especially Trevor. Neither did the other applicants, for they could not have dared to approach me because I was engaged to Keith.

So who? He was....

"What need did you come here for, Stella?"

I can't guess why Stella came here. We're not close at all. One thing came to my mind, Stella was angry that she could not come to the Skyrise residence at will because of my warning to Keith.

Stella stopped sipping her tea, looking at me. "I know that your engagement to Keith was just a sham."

I think we were really less harmonious and romantic until people realized it. There are two people who can guess it, namely Keith and Stella.

"We're engaged for real" my dear.

If I justify it straight away then Stella will win. Maybe this is just his bluff.

"You can't be engaged, because you've never met each other before. Then, you don't love Keith, which you need a shield to protect you from another man's proposal."

It's hard to fool people who love Keith. I surrendered.

"All right, I'll admit it. We were only engaged on contract. What are you going to do with this reality?"

"I will break your contract engagement. I'll make Keith free of you." 

Your sharp gaze is like a knife that can stab me. However, I'm not at all afraid, Stella.
