"Dawn, do you know this person? We're lucky to have arrived on time, this poor kitchen worker passed out due to fear but other than that, she's fine."
Dawn. The strongest Slayer, also one of my old friends.
"Lady Liliya, don't come close to this guy, he's the legendary number 4 in Slayer, Inoshi. They called me the strongest, but if we had a real fight, this guy would kill me, regardless of who won."
"H-hey Dawn... Long time no s-" The prince barged into the room.
"Lifes!? What is going on here, why are you picking a fight with the servant of Count Brown's daughter?"
Dawn let go of my shirt and got up to help his master stand back up.
The brown haired girl looked at me for a second before diverting her attention towards Leonardo and taking a curt bow and saying "Your highness, it is a pleasure."
"I apologize Miss Liliya, this person is a new servant in the palace, he's not familiar with proper etiquette yet and will be severely punished for his actions."
"Oh no, his highness shouldn't apologize, at least not to me, my servant just stopped this man from killing one of your kitchen workers..." As she said that my head started spinning and I threw up on the kitchen floor.
"Heh, stupid loser, when will you stop being so weak." Dawn said.
"At least I don't think the sun rises out of my fucking ass, piece of shit Katsuki."
Dawn just laughed at that.
The prince finally opened his mouth again "Miss Brown, would you please join your father and siblings while I deal with this rogue one?"
The blue eyed noble looked at me again before leaning in to whisper something in red-hair's ear.
I could swear Dawn blushed and got annoyed at that.
"Let's go Dawn, father is waiting for us." Us?
Now the girl was blushing for some reason.
"Lifes you come with me. Corolio, you come too." Leonardo commanded and we followed, I felt like throwing up again, thinking of how I couldn't control myself.
We arrived at some small plot of grass in the garden that was hidden behind a wall of flowers.
The prince just dropped on his back and told me to lay down next to him, so I did.
The grass felt unnaturally soft here, almost like a bed. Is everything just better when you have money?
"Lifes, I heard from the young lady that when they arrived at the kitchen, it looked like you were fighting yourself while trying to kill Margaret, she said she even saw you cry as you were about to cut Margaret's throat." Was she trying to help me? I closed my eyes and felt myself drifting off into half sleep as the guy kept talking.
"I didn't really believe her at first but when I first saw you on the kitchen floor, the memory of you killing that Villfer kid at school popped into my head." The prince stopped for a few seconds.
What is this guy getting at? Does he know I can't control myself?
"At first I thought you're just a coward who can't even look the people you murder in the eyes." What? My eyes opened widely, I clenched my fists. My body felt like it was shaking.
"That might be true, but I don't think that's the case. You seemed like you were in so much pain when you killed that kid.
Lifes, do you feel guilty?" He turned his head towards me and I stared back at him.
