The door to your bedroom was ajar, although you remembered closing it. It was obvious that someone had entered and could still be inside.
You approached the first bedside table, where you kept the gun hidden; you had to check that nobody was really in the bathroom and on the balcony.
You advanced towards the balcony and, with a quick snap, you went out; apart from the violet-colored curtains that moved in the wind, there was nothing else.
A sound, probably of a newly laid object, came out of the bathroom; you took the safety off the gun, this time. Not that you wanted to seriously shoot the victim, but enough to make him take a big fright.
You pointed your weapon right at the bathroom entrance and you heard a high-pitched scream. You recognized the voice of your maid.
《Oh my...! What are you doing, miss?!》  She was trembling like a leaf. You lowered the gun, more relieved there wasn't a thief.

《I thought someone else was inside...I didn't mean to scare you. Could you have warned me that you were here, didn't you hear me come in?》

《Not really, miss. I'm sorry I didn't warn you.》  She bowed exaggeratedly. After solving the misunderstanding, she quickly left the room.

Once, you went back to the balcony; you wondered if Katakuri was still there or that he returned to the palace and, maybe, he was thinking of you...

《Back down to earth, Y/n!》

You shook your head, but it was useless; the thought returned again to the man with sharp teeth.
You prepared your bath; as you undressed, you still felt his palms caressing your hips and back. As soon as you were in front of the mirror, the eye fell on your mouth which, after those unexpected kisses, still smelled of sugar.
After remembering the whole scene, you finally decided to go into the tub.

Katakuri was looking at his brother with a bored expression. Even though he knew his true nature, he couldn't stand anyone seeing him; moreover, his snack had been interrupted since your arrival and ended in a way that he didn't expect.
《What are you doing here, Daifuku?》

《I came looking for you...we need to talk.》  But he wrinkled his nose, right after.
《I hope I haven't interrupted anything...》  It was obvious that Daifuku was referring to something else.

《Are there any problem with Mama?》  Katakuri asked at his brother.

《Mmm not really. You seem to have one, apparently...》  Daifuku grinned; a rapid gesture of the hand followed, towards the direction from which you had left.
《That girl, Y/n, I noticed that she has a nice temper. I always thought she was very pretty but, my brother, I didn't think she would have reduced you like this!》

Katakuri was irritated as he listened to him  《Of course, now you're married, but you shouldn't take this very seriously...》
It's true that Katakuri wasn't interested in love affairs and wasn't a womanizer like Daifuku and Oven. Anyway, he continued to listen to his useless speech again.

《I really think she bewitched you, with her sparkling e/c eyes...I advise you to be careful Katakuri. Women can be dangerous, at times. I don't think our mother chose her for...》

《I have never involved Y/n in my business. Mama has nothing to worry about. As she well knows, Y/n is very particular and it would be a shame to loose her.》  The first time he met you, Katakuri noticed how you had been able to control you in front of his mother and prevented her from using her Soul-Soul fruit.  《So there's no point in continuing this conversation.》
