Blood In Rose

Chapter 5

The knocking sound echoes through the room. The person doing this must have a short temper. As I haven't answered, the knocking sound gets raged and it's pitch gets shorter and shorter.
(I have a bad feeling about this.)
I look for Spade to get some advices but he is curling up on the bed.
"... I'll open the door now."
"You're late! Don't make me wait."
His voice scolds me before I even open the door completely.
"Alfred..."
He has no intention of hiding his irritation as he glares at me.
"What do you think about me? Say it."
"Huh...?"
"All it takes is saying that you love me. Do it now."
"... Why?"
His overbearing attitude is starting to make me really mad.

His face approaches toward me as it's distorted in frustration,
"H-Hey, Alfred!"
I desperately tried to avoid his face as he closed in on me.
But as he fixes my chin firmly, I can't move an inch.
"Alfred, you can't force an unwilling lady. She doesn't seem to look happy."
With that, Rupert pushes Alfred away.
"It seems to me that you didn't like to become Alfred's belongings."
"Alfred's power seems to have no effect on you."
Rupert slowly comes closer to me.
"How about me then? You can become my belonging."
"That's why Alfred's power is invalid."

"Rupert, what's in your mind?"
"I must verify. Would you kiss me, Mina?"
Rupert's face approaches me, and I--
