Not paying attention to Alfred, who seems to be letting out a short sigh, I kept my focus on Raymond.

"One who loves and is loved by Tatiana's descendant will be Harold's heir and will inherit all of his riches."
"....."

I'm in shock, as though I've been hit on my head with something hard.

"That means..."
(Whichever I love will be acknowledged as Harold's heir...)

I look at Alfred, then at Rupert.
Alfred, who told me that he will make me his...
Rupert, who asked me if I will love him...
(That's why these two...)
I feel anger begin to boil inside of me.

"That's the reason you both wanted me to be your belongings and tried to make me do whatever you wanted me to!"

Now I finally understood why they told me to say that I love them when I woke up after they had my blood.

"I'm but a means to be Harold's heir. Is that it?"
I'm hurting myself by saying this.
(Yesterday's kiss, and everything else...)
(How disgusting... This is unbelievable...)

"Hey..."
"Don't touch me!"
I shake off Alfred's hand, which was reached out towards me, with all my might.
Then I slapped him on his cheek.

"Mina.....?"
I glared at Rupert, who seems to be taken aback.
I looked back at Alfred and I shout at the top of my lungs.

"I HATE YOU!!"
