The Knights

(Distinct Rhythm) 52

Ch. 212 / 308 Apr 01, 2025

I got out of bed when I felt a dryness in my throat. I'm so thirsty.

How many days have I been eating disorderly? I can't count. I also can't blame myself because in the past few days, I've always had no appetite.

Maybe I miss him so much. I think I've been incarcerated for two weeks, two weeks without Bullet by my side.

I got up from the bed to press the button on the side of the door, it serves as an intercom. I can't leave the room so I have to order the maids.

I was about to press the button when I heard a noise from outside. I carelessly lowered the handle to the side so I was free to hear what was going on outside.

There are two people fighting outside. And I need to confirm if my suspicion is true.

"I did everything to find where the fuck are you, Max Arazon. You did a great job hiding my baby away from me, and it's over." I gasped when I heard Bullet's voice from outside.

"As expected, you can and will still find us really anywhere we hide." It's older than Max's voice this time.

"Are you really that coward to think that I'll give up easily? Even if you go somewhere, I'll still follow your brother, Max. She's mine to begin with, and I don't practically care if you are her brother, I have threatened you several times that even if you are still her brother, I will not back down from you. "

"Bullet, I don't want a fight. Maxreign is here and she's still traumatized with what Niccolo did to her. So leave--"

"I had enough of your silly games, Max. So if you don't give me Maxreign, I'll be forced to hurt you all."

"Why are you so determined to take my brother, Bullet? Aren't you just playing with him?" to Max said.

I pressed myself to the door to hear Bullet's answer.

"You fucking idiot. You think I'll wait for 6 years to play with her feelings? Six years, Max, in the six years I've endured while waiting for your brother to grow up, not once did it land in my brain to play Maxreign. You witnessed it, I even admitted my feelings toward your sister to you privately. But I listened to the agreement you gave me. I'll wait for her to graduate before I can make her mine. But I had enough, I can't wait anymore, Max. I love your brother so much just to play with him, so get him out! "

I was just stunned by the absence as I listened to what he was saying.

He waited for me? For six years? I was 14 that time and he was 16. We were so young.

I bit my lower lip before kicking hard on my bedroom door. On the first try I failed so I quickly took off the hair clip and forced the door open.

I almost kissed myself with joy when the door opened. I'll finally have the chance to see him again, my love. I ran quickly to peek at them in the living room.

I saw Bullet pointing his gun to brother Max, he also had a lot of people around.

"Bullet!" I shouted his name in excitement.

He immediately lowered the gun when he saw me from above. The already dark was replaced by a soft expression. "Baby," he mouthed.

I hurried down the stairs to see him. I was just running to Bullet when my older brother grabbed me.

"K-Brother, p-please," I pleaded.

"Reign, he pointed a gun at me like that. Don't you know how dangerous Bullet's life is because you even forced him to accompany you?" he whispered.

"But brother, he can protect me. I can also protect myself. S-All right brother, please," I said with a pleading voice.

He didn't answer again, he turned to Bullet who was focused on me. How I wanted to cry because I miss him so much, I wanted to hug and kiss him because I miss him so much.

I was shocked when Bullet pointed his gun at brother Max again.

"Move. Give her to me."

"B-Bullet, please, put your gun down. You don't have to go this far, baby, do you?" I beg him.

My older brother Max is still my brother, and whatever else he does wrong to me I love him dearly. He's the best brother for me and nothing can erase that.

Bullet slowly lowered the gun when he heard what I said. He threw it on the floor before staring his older brother directly in the eyes.

"This is the fucking first time that I'll do this shit. Be thankful that Maxreign pleaded with me not to pull the trigger." My eyes widened when I saw how Bullet slowly knelt in front of my brother.

"B-Bullet," I whispered tearfully.

He bowed his head for a moment, then lifted it again. The strange gleam of sadness and pleading in his eyes did not escape my eyes.

"This is so fucking gay, and Knights like me will never bend down infront of a commoner like you. But for Maxreign, I'm begging you, Max. I don't want to hurt you in front of the woman I love so much so I beg you. Please, give her to me. I'm going to die of worrying too much about Reign, and you know that. I never want to ruin our friendship, Max, so putangina just lets us be happy. Even if you take him away from me, your brother will hate you for life. So think about it. "

I don't know if I will laugh or feel sorry for what I heard. If he begs, why is there a threat?

I tightened my grip on my older brother's hand.

"Brother, you have a guilty conscience."
