𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐀 ＃ ZENON ZOGRATIS. [✓]

FLORA WANDERED AROUND, in hopes of seeing Lady Vanica. Luckily she did, as she spotted the figure at the entrance of the castle.

"L-Lady Vanica!" Flora called out, Vanica didn't bother to turn her head as she repeatedly wiped her bloody hands on a towel. "M'lady?"

Flora eventually walked closer, As Vanica ignored the calls. The black haired female huffed in annoyance, turning to Flora.

"What is it, pest?" Vanica bluntly questioned, her brows furrowed. As she turned around, facing Flora. "I-I'm really sorry for what I did to--"

"Tch." Vanica's hand came in contact with Flora's cheek harshly, as her red orbs darkened. "You disgust me. You're wasting my time."

I walked down the hallways, carrying a platter of delicious [flavor] cake silently eating. Following Lord Zenon, an slap erupted from the silent hallways.

As I turned my head to glance at the noise, The entrance had two ladies standing there. Zenon glimpsed at the figures, before deciding to ignore them.

"[y/n], aren't you going to follow?" His cerulean orbs glimmered, "Isn't that Vanica?"

"I suppose, now let's go." He tried reaching for my wrist, but I walked away just before he grasped it. "Let's check it out."

Instead, I grabbed his and walked towards them. Vanica turned her head to us, somewhat surprised that Zenon allowed me to drag him across the hallways.

"Lady Vanica," Vanica's expression brightened up in a second, once she saw me. "[y/n]-chan!"

The dark haired female enveloped me in a hug, pressing both our cheeks together. 'What happened?' I mouthed, as Vanica glimpsed at Flora before focusing on me.

"It's nothing, she's just bothering me." I nodded slowly, As Vanica slowly removed her arms around me. "She just had to ruin my good mood."

Vanica mumbled, as her younger brother remained silent. "Zeno, let's go. [y/n]-chan, aren't you going to follow?"

"I'll follow." The dark haired female nodded, not bothering to wait as she mumbled inaudible things to her brother. Zenon just shook his head, listening to his sister's rambles.

"W-why does the Dark Triad still pay attention to you no matter what I do?" Flora shakily said, As I merely glanced at her. "I've worked hard for this, and this is the kind of thanks I get?"

"Why am I even bothering to tell you, when you can't understand my situation anyway. Since you grew up with love and attention, you don't know anything." Flora sneered, trying to make her tone firm. Her amber eyes was deep and held sorrow. But I found it hard to empathize with her situation.

"You're insensitive. How can you say I don't know anything, do you even know me? You make such hasty assumptions with people you barely know, and judge from your perspective. Have you seen theirs?" I retorted in a calm manner, diverting my gaze elsewhere in disappointment.
