"So the Green Ninja really is in love with the princess," Harumi muttered to herself in the mirror as she ran the remover back and forth across her painted face. She smiled villainously at her reflection, a sinister chuckle escaping her dark red lips. "How romantic. This makes my plan all too easy. And even more effective!"
Harumi always had a habit of talking to herself. She didn't nearly confide in actual companions as much as she confided in her own reflections and shadows. It felt so much safer. It felt like talking to a person who understood you perfectly without a single hint of ambiguity.
That person could never turn their back on you. They could never disclose your secrets or interrupt you or even scold you for speaking irrationally. You could vent about any thing in any way you desired and they will never raise a finger on it.
And so Harumi spat out every word with a venomous rage about how she hated Lloyd Garmadon. How she loathed him and would do anything to make him suffer the way she did. But fate was kind to her this time.
The same boy she had targeted her entire life was now in love with her. So much that he would risk his duties just to see her smile and hear her laugh. And if all she wanted was to break Lloyd beyond repair then what was more calamitous than a blow to the heart?
She had her suspicions about Lloyd's feelings for her when they first met at the time of the Emperor's speech. But after today's conversation, the way he acted and looked at her, there was no doubt about it.
Lloyd Garmadon had it bad.
He kept calling her 'Rumi' even though he knew he wasn't supposed to regardless of the princess's permission to do so. He even had the boldness to make a move and invite her out to spend some time alone with him. Exposing a royal to danger was definitely not what an escort was supposed to do.
That were three major rules broken considering him leaving his post at the palace as well! And the Green Ninja was no rule-breaker. Love really did make you do stupid things you never thought you'd do.
Harumi twisted her snow-hued hair into a bun, fastening it up once she was done with wiping her face clean. The twinkle of evil never left her blue eyes as she spun around in a circle, laughing at the easiness of the game which she had initially thought to be difficult. She was more than excited about her scheme having higher chances of success.
