Lianari returned home and walked angrily past the hall. That's when she saw Raverie messing with one of the flowers. She walked over and pushed the vase on the floor.

The vase crashed and water spilled everywhere along with the flowers.

Raverie: Mistress!

She grabbed onto her neck and squeezed " what are you doing?"

Raverie; just... Just tidying the flowers...

The butler came over and saw what happened. He kept quiet and chose to just stand there.

Raverie: help... Me...

Lianari let's go " get out of my sight. "

Raverie catches her breath " you don't even like the General. I don't understand why you're hogging him."

" I despise you. " And lianari walked away.

Raverie: I'm betrothed to the General!

Lianari stops in her steps " so am I.  You exist for others. That's why I despise you. " She walks away " butler. "

" Yes mistress?"

Lianari: clean up. Give her some medicine. You understand this shouldn't be known ?

" Of course. "

Lianari: oh. What's your name ? I never knew.

" My existence is small. It's no bother if you don't. "

Lianari: you're working for the General. I hope you'll work for me. So I would like to note your name.

" My name is Alex. "

Lianari; Alex. I've noted.

Alex reported the matter to Jin when he came back.

Jin ; she asked you your name ? Hm. I guess it makes sense.

Alex laughed a little.

Jin ; what's so funny?

Alex: nothing. Just, Master sometimes kill people in the manor too. Then you'll need me to clean up.

Jin : you're too sharp. Be careful of your life.

Alex : you've always said that to me. Master. I'm still around, aren't I ? You need me.

Jin : hm. That girl , she scared ?

Alex ; she acted scared . She's doing very fine in her room now.

Jin : Raverie. Are you ok ?

" General. " She goes over and hugs  him and leans in " is Mistress going to always be so fierce ?"

Jin ; she's like that. Don't worry. How's your neck ?

She lets him go " I guess you don't like that type huh. "

Jin : I've had prostitutes entertain me before. I just thought you are different.

Raverie : just wondering what kind of man you are. Don't have to be mean.

Jin ; what does the emperor want ?

Raverie; nothing. You think I'm an eye. So I'm really just a decoration here aren't I ?

Jin ; use the medicine. If you do something stupid...

Raverie: I know. You'll kill me.

" no. " He cold laughed a little like mocking her "You tasted her strangle haven't you ? Sleep tight. Put the medicine. You'll recover. " He turns to leave.

" you won't stay tonight?" Raverie eyed the two servants behind. They were from the palace .

Jin : ... Fine. Go to sleep. I'll sleep on the outside.

Jin lied down beside her " goodnight."

Raverie: goodnight.

Jin sits down at the table for breakfast. Lianari brings her plate over " hehe. How is it ?"

Jin ; that's what you have to say me ?

Lianari: what ? Didn't you stay at her room ?

Jin : oh. So you know. Then you're still smirking.

Lianari: I know you don't like her. So I'm curious what you two talked about.

" That's all you're curious about? " And he left.

Lianari: what is he angry about? Alex.

Alex shrugged.

Jin sat down at the pavilion " Yuri."

Yuri : hey. You seem annoyed.

Jin ; I unwillingly slept on the same bed with another girl last night.

Yuri : oh. That Raverie.

Jin : yes.

Yuri ; .... Poor thing ?

Jin : ugh. Never mind.
