Fake Antagonist
Chapter 17 ~ Unrepeated Men

While Edric, though evasive but still wounded in the arm, he managed to escape from the wolf but the predator did not want to go and wanted to attack again. There was no other way, Edric took out a firearm that he always carried with him everywhere and pointed it at the wolf.

DORR...

A single shot caused the wolf to collapse but not die. His gaze weakened, to rise he was no longer strong. Edric did aim at the back legs of the wolf, he thought it was enough to make him paralyzed need not to die.

Alice immediately approached Edric, although stunned for a moment when she heard the thunderous gunshots, she could not waste any more time. It is not impossible that there will be other wolves coming.

"Sir, you're not papa?" alice asked softly, her eyes looking teary. Seeing Edric's condition reminded him of someone, a very meaningful person in his life. But in order to save her, that person had to leave forever.

Edric was grounded, the girl who looked brave and calm now looks restless when he was injured. "Aduhhhh." whining Edric deliberately, but the wound on his arm is not much, it's just that the blood that continues to flow makes the wound look severe.

Seeing Edric who was in so much pain made the tears that Alice had been holding back for a moment flowed away. "Hey, why are you crying? Don't cry!" persuade Edric gently as he wiped the girl's tears.

Alice just shook her head, she tried to control herself and then began to ask the lecturer to stand up. He tried hard to lift the large body, while Edric whose injuries were not very severe even deliberately like not energetic just for the mode to be hugged more tightly by this little girl.

He looked at Alice's little face from the side, then gave a small smile without the girl even noticing.

'Aldric, because from the beginning you want to throw it away then I won't let you take it back, ' his inner self is in the heart. For this time he will not succumb again to his half-sister, yes his half-sister.

Since his mother died, Edric's father, Bastian Nelson, married a wealthy woman. This makes Aldric, the youngest son as the rightful heir. While Edric was always ignored, therefore he never opened his identity to anyone.

And he also prefers to get out of the Nelson family mansion. But even so, Edric loved his little sister very much. He always kept an eye on Aldric, which is why he knew that Aldric never appreciated his fiancee's existence.

On the other hand after hearing the sound of gunfire, Aldric and his friends immediately searched to the source of the sound. So are the two animal handlers who lead in front just in case, considering that in the middle of this forest there are indeed many ferocious beasts.

Alice beat Edric with great difficulty. While looking, his eyes were also wary of glancing here and there. His calm heart was now beginning to be disturbed, fearing that there would be wolves coming back in the way.

"MAY ..." A shout made Alice smile instantly.

"HAVEN," cried Alice against the source of the voice.

"Listen, that's Alice's voice," cried Haven happily.

They also accelerated, as well as Alice who immediately got her spirit back.

"Sir, you don't faint!" pinta Alice shrieked, she briefly lyrics the man's face. The face that had started to pale a little. Edric nodded, he put his head on Alice's shoulder as if he had no more energy to answer.

"ALICE."

"EDRIC."

"SIR."

Shouted people who felt closer. Alice continued to walk slowly, because carrying a large burden was not easy for her. When she was about to scream when she saw Aldric and his friends from a distance, Alice was surprised by Edric who had put his body in front of her.

The man didn't look as hurt as he was. When Alice peeked, she was surprised by a pack of wolves that turned out to come in the way, maybe there were about six.

Whether it was because of their friend's grudge or what, they looked furious. Wolves are one of the animals that are known to have high solidarity. Even if one of them is sick, the other will find him to eat until the wolf heals.

The wolf surrounded them, Alice turned her back to Edric. Their backs are leaning against each other. Alice and Edric would not attack if the wolf did not harm them.

"Hey, it's Alice and Mr. Edric!" aldric said as he ran towards them. But how surprised when he realized Alice and Edric were surrounded by a pack of wolves. Even more shocked when the wolf began to jump and attack Alice.

But unexpectedly, the girl shrewdly avoided and even broke a piece of wood to hit the wolf attack. A very fast and dazzling move, even Aldric and Edric did not expect Alice to be able to fight.

The two animal handlers who saw it immediately confronted, taking over the resistance. Aldric immediately approached Alice and hugged her tightly, "Alice, you don't papa?" she asked softly, clearly a worry on her face.

Alice was stunned, she could only push Aldric's body but the man's embrace was too tight. While Edric who has now been paved by Nico does not show any expression, but in his heart he felt the heat that came.

Because of the incident, Alice and Edric were sent home first. Previously their injuries had been handled by the SAR team that had arrived. The two are now in a car heading into town.

During Edric's journey like a boneless man, he kept his head on Alice's shoulder. Alice could not refuse, this man had saved her life so she should know to be reciprocated.

While others continue camping until the specified time. Although upset, but Aldric must obey campus rules, as well as Alice's friends, especially Lucy.

Feeling indebted to Edric, the next day Alice visited the man's house to visit him.

While inside the house, in his study Edric was negotiating with several people who were chasing Alice the other day.

"Find out who it is!" pinta Edric coldly.

"Good, Sir."

Tingdong ... Tingdong ...

The sound of the bell distracts Edric, through the CCTV monitor installed he can see Alice who is standing on the porch of his house. Instantly he smiled, a smile that made his men shudder.

"You guys out! Don't go through the front, just through the back door!" step out of the workspace. Some of those people immediately followed the master's orders. The three left with a sneak, through the back door so as not to be seen by the special guest of the master.

Edric stepped quickly towards the door, until his steps came to a halt. He randomized his hair to a mess, then changed the look of his face to be more sad, only then he opened the door in front of him.

"Alice?"

"August, Sir. How is Father?"

"As you can see," Edric replied without passion.

"Mother haven't eaten yet?" alice asked when she saw the 5L lecturer (worn, tired, tired, weak, hungry).

"Emm, not yet."

"Well, if you know that I brought food from home. I only bring fruit."

"No papa."

"Emm, can I come in?"

"Hm."

Alice went inside, Edric's house still looked as quiet as the last time he visited. "So, you don't have ART?" alice asked who the man had slid back to.

"Do you have any food?"

"For what?"

"I'll masakin Mr."

"Can you cook?"

"Mother underestimated me?" alice's question was answered with a face of disbelief belonging to Edric.

Alice was furious, she then looked for groceries in the refrigerator but there were only a variety of instant foods. Alice decided to make spaghetti. His shrewd hands and deft use of knives and kitchen tools made Edric who sat at the kitchen table dumbfounded.

'The noble family princess can also cook this celihai?' his mind does not believe.

.

"Where? Tidying, Sir?" alice asked when she saw Edric eating voraciously.

"Hmm, it's normal."

"Then it doesn't need to be eaten! I'll order food." Alice wanted to reach for the lecturer's plate but was held back by the man.

"This is my food, you can't throw it away!"

"Say it's good" Alice muttered with a small smile. So did Edric who seemed wrong.

'Oh my God, am I really sick?' his mind when he felt his face warming.
