Honey : The Empire's Treasure 247 I Know What You Did...

Having only sat down for ten minutes before being dismissed from the cla.s.sroom, the group decided to head to the sparring grounds. 

Leaving cla.s.sroom, the five walked towards the arena. Halfway there they heard a shout.

"Hey, shorty. Stop!" The all five of them turned around to see Nylian coming their way.

"Celaena, he looking for you..." Mika blurted out.

When Nylian reached the waiting group, he looked at each one of their faces until stopping at Mikaela's.

"Come with me, I need to talk to you..." Nylian said, straight at Mika.

"Me?" Mika pointed to herself while glancing at Celaena.

"Yes, you."  

"Heh...shorty" Celaena laughed. This was the second time someone called out ''shorty'' and they were referring her, not Celaena.

Nylian was already on Mika's blacklist for spitting sh.e.l.ls on her shoes, now his name was going to move up the list for calling her short.

"Ugh...fine."

Nylian led the way, taking Mika just far enough so they can talk privately without being overheard by her friends.

"I know what you did last week..."

"Hmm?" Mika knew she did a lot of things last week, she could be sure which thing he was talking about.

"...the posting, I know it was you..."

Oh, that...

"I don't know what you are talking about." Mika shrugged her shoulders. 

"Look don't play stupid..." 

"I don't like to play stupid. Tried it once...let me tell you, it was exhausting."

"Whwhat are you talk about? I meant, stop denying posting everyone's scores. "

"And...?"

"And...you cause a lot of problems for the students." Nylian didn't really care about the other students, he just didn't want to be called into the dean's office again.

"I believe that is what the person, who did it!..not me by the way, meant to do..."

".....look, because of what you did, and yes, I know it was you... I was left to clean up the mess."

"So...all's well that end wells..." Mika made to walk away, but Nylian blocked her path.

"Do you think I like being call into the Dean's office to get yell at?"

"I don't know...do you?"

"No!...what the...look, don't cause anymore problems for me, okay?"

"...."

"Why aren't you answering?" Nylian felt the hairs on his arms stand up. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"I thinking of what you think const.i.tute as a 'problem' "

"What-Wait! Did you do something else...?"

"....."

"Answer me!"

"...I don't think I want to tell you, you might get mad at me..." Mika kicked the gra.s.s under her foot.

"Of course, I'm going to be mad if you caused more problems for me!"

"Well then, I'm definitely not gonna tell you..."

"For the love of the G.o.ds!" Calling a quits on talking to her, Nylian rolled up his sleeve as he showed Mika his wristband while dialing a very familiar number.

"h.e.l.lo?... Nylian..."

"Here...and I need you to tell your wife to stop making problems for me to clean up!"

Nylian gave the band to Mika. On the screen Ailwin's handsome face appeared as clear as water.

"You sent someone to babysit me?" Mika was outraged.

"No, I sent someone to help you if times get tough over there." Ailwin could see Mika didn't believe him.

"You don't think I can handle school?"

"That is not what I meant and you know it... And didn't you send someone to watch over me?" He panned the tablet around so she could see Kaze standing in the middle of his office.

d.a.m.n, he got me there.

"Fine..." Ailwin didn't think she would gave in this easily, but was happy she did.

"Look, with Nylian there with you, you'll have someone to help you get out of sticky situations, if any arise."

"What possible bad situations can little o'l me get into?" Mika blinked her eyes at the screen.

"So, we're not counting the hacking into the academy's mainframe as a troubling situation?" Nylian interrupted.

"Hey, hey, hey! This is an A and M conversation, there is no room for N." Mika shooed Nylian off, and a little walked further away from him.

"Mika?"

"Hmm?" She looked back down at the screen once she saw no one else was around her.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing..."

"Then what is this about hacking the school's mainframe?"

"You heard that...?"

"Yea, what is he talking about?"

"Mmm...I don't know."

"You don't know..."

"No."

"So, if I asked Nylian to elaborate on the situation, your name won't come up?"

"Well, that's kinda an unfair question. I can't control what's going to come out of other people's mouths."

"Mika... You know what I meant." 

"How am I supposed to know what you mean? I'm not a mind reader, Ailwin...I won't be able to understand you, unless you let me. Why won't you let me in, Ailwin..." Sobs came from Mika's mouth and her shoulders shook as the last of her words broke off into a whisper. 

"Mika...your eyes are as dry as the desert." Ailwin looked at his young bride and sighed, "For the love of the G.o.ds, if you're going to play the pitiful lover at least cry actual tears."

"It's hot and dry today. I'm trying not to dehydrate myself by crying."

".....sigh, where do you come up with this stuff..."

 "Aww...come on, you know you love it. You can't hide the smile on you're face."

"I'll admit it... I love you, you make me smile..." Mika frozen at Ailwin's declaration.

"I'll talk to you later, and please try to stay out of trouble." Ailwin hung up the comm, not realizing her shocked expression.

Mika walked back to Nylian, giving him back his wristband before quickly running to Saavi's side and burying her face into her friend's arm.

Saavi looked down at Mika, who's face had a reddish tint to it.

"Is everything all right?"

"En..."
