Chapter 5: A Clash of Hearts

The tension between Neuvillette and Wriothesley had been simmering ever since Neuvillette's revelation to Y/n. As they stood facing each other in the dimly lit darkness of the night, the air around them crackled with electricity.

"You had no right to spy on us, Neuvillette," Wriothesley's voice was low and dangerous, his eyes flashing with anger. "Y/n trusted you, and you betrayed that trust."

Neuvillette's jaw tightened, his own gaze unwavering. "I did it to protect her," he insisted, his voice firm. "You may be charming, Wriothesley, but I know the darkness that lies beneath your façade."

Wriothesley laughed, a bitter sound that echoed off the walls around them. "And what about you, Neuvillette?" he taunted. "Hiding in the shadows, watching her every move. How is that any different from what you accuse me of?"

Y/n watched in silence, her heart heavy with confusion. She had never seen this side of Neuvillette and Wriothesley before, and it both frightened and intrigued her.

As the argument escalated, Y/n finally spoke up, her voice trembling. "Stop," she pleaded, her eyes darting between the two men. "I don't want this. I don't want to be the cause of your conflict."

Neuvillette and Wriothesley fell silent, their eyes locked with Y/n's. In that moment, they both realized the depth of their feelings for Y/n, and the pain they had caused her.

"I'm sorry, Y/n," Neuvillette said softly, his voice filled with regret. "I never meant to hurt you. I only wanted to protect you."

Wriothesley nodded, his expression somber. "And I...I wanted to make you happy, Y/n. But I see now that my actions have only caused you pain."

Y/n felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Neuvillette and Wriothesley, her heart torn between the two men. "I...I need some time alone," she whispered, turning away.

As Y/n then ran away with tears brimming from her eyes, Neuvillette and Wriothesley watched her go, their hearts heavy with regret. They knew that repairing the damage they had caused would not be easy, but they were determined to do whatever it took to win back Y/n's trust. Even if it meant going at each other's throats again.
