Killing Intent
Lux’s Side
Siana…!?
This is bad…!
If she sees me lying in bed together with Florence-san like this, she will definitely misunderstand something…!
Anyway, I need to clear up Siana’s misunderstanding!
“It is not what you think, Siana! This is a misunderstanding…”
As I said that and quickly sat up, the futon flipped back.
“…”
Because the futon was flipped back, the sight of Florence-san holding me in her arms entered Siana’s eyes.
“Th-this is not what you think, either! We were just…”
“I have told Master several times to be careful with your relationships with women, but did my words not reach you, Master?”
“N-no, Siana! I…”
As I tried to continue, Siana stepped forward and separated Florence-san and me before speaking.
“I intend to speak with you later, so I would like you to wait for a short while outside this room, Master.”
“S-Siana… are you angry?”
“No, I am not angry at you, Master… However, there is something I wish to speak with you about later, so I ask for some time.”
“…I understand.”
Siana has always been sensitive about me getting involved with women, and I think that is surely for my sake, but this time, even though I had no intention of hiding it, I ended up sleeping beside Florence-san, so it is understandable she is angry.
Feeling sorry toward Siana, I got down from the bed, and with Siana seeing me off, I left the room.
Siana’s Side
After watching Lux leave the room, Siana locked the door from the inside, and immediately after that… with her eyes devoid of light, she moved toward the bed where Floria had sat up.
“It was a very pleasant time, so it is unfortunate that we were interrupted, but since I was able to accomplish the purpose of this sleepover last night, I am satisfied for now…”
As Floria began to say that, Siana took a dagger from her pocket and attacked Floria mercilessly with killing intent.
Floria stood up and avoided it before speaking.
“…Had I not avoided that attack, it would have been fatal.”
“Yes, because I fully intend to take your life here.”
“To take a life, you say… even if something uncomfortable has happened for a Third Princess, someone who says such things is not suitable for Lux-sama…”
“Be silent.”
With a mechanical voice, Siana charged at Floria with swift movements.
But Floria put distance between them and avoided it.
“Why are you so angry? Even if you are the Third Princess, taking my life here without thinking of the consequences…”
“I told you to be silent… It was supposed to be me with Lux-kun. Me… and you stole that from me… I will never forgive you…”
Lux, too, has things that must be addressed, but before that, what Siana absolutely cannot forgive is Floria, who must have bewitched Lux.
Directing that anger toward Floria, Siana spoke, and after a brief pause, Floria replied.
“I see… if you only look at the situation, it is understandable that you would misunderstand, but Lux-sama and I are not as you are imagining…”
“Since you do not understand, no matter how many times I say it, I will silence you directly!”
Saying that, Siana charged at Floria.
Floria, who had been on the bed with Lux just moments ago, did not have a weapon and could not counterattack, so she continued to avoid Siana’s strikes.
Floria possessed outstanding reaction speed… However, after being attacked continuously, an opening was created.
“Kh…!”
“Disappear here.”
With a mechanical voice, Siana moved to strike Floria in a way that would surely be fatal… at that moment.
Siana’s attack was stopped by another dagger. The one who blocked it was a girl wearing a black hood, Violet, who spoke.
“…Ojou-sama, I understand your feelings, but please calm yourself once.”
