Suddenly, Rachel pointed her sword at my father. I immediately covered myself with it in shock.
— What are you doing?! — I shrieked, staring at her in horror.
— I'm going to kill him.
The tone of her voice was so cold and cruel that I was actually amazed. Rachel wasn't talking about a stranger. It was… My father!
I clenched my teeth.
— If… If you have a beef with me, that doesn't mean you can touch my family! — I exclaimed, «Deal with me!
But Rachel didn't react at all.
— Back off,» she ordered in an icy tone, «or I'll have to do it by force.
— NO!
I put my arms out to either side, showing her directly-that the girl could only get to the Archduke over my dead body. I really couldn't understand what had suddenly come over her. Why did she suddenly want him dead so badly?!
Both Father and Razor watched us silently from the sidelines. It was dangerous to move at all now. Rachael lowered her sword slowly, but the rage in her eyes did not abate in the slightest.
