After dressing themselves, along with so preparations, l and Lila soon descended the stairs to the training hall.
As usual, only Rosana occupied the sparse training hall; her golden hair glittering in the white dawn light as she perford a blade dance.
l heard Lila humming before she went ahead of her.
"Ah."
An upward swing, Rosana laid down the sword before sweeping back her sweaty hair, her dress drenched in sweat, which indicated she had been practicing for a while.
She raised a brow at Lila. "You’re also here?"
"Yep!"
Lila crossed her arms at her waist as she held her head high. "Let’s not waste any ti: I’m here to discipline you!"
"Disi...pline...?"
Rosana tilted her head, then glanced at l with a questioning look.
l shrugged with a slight smirk. Don’t involve her! It’s ti for her Lila to flaunt a little.
Then, as if instantly grasping the situation, Rosana’s lips curved into a knowing smile.
"Sure."
The Heiress disspaited her sword. "So, at the end, you want to beat down for your jealousy?"
"Absolutely."
Lila stretched her lips before nodding.
"I’m to be the first Wife of l! Her one and only!"
Unconsciously emphasizing ’one and only’, Lila further puffed out her moderate chest.
This ti, her eyes consciously compared the bustiness of her opponent’s, then focused back at her smirking face with flushed cheeks.
"So naturally, I’m to discipline those that didn’t dedicate all their efforts to l and l only!"
Then, she pointed at Rosana. "I dislike you. l put all her efforts into loving us, yet you dismissed her attempts as a... a..."
She hesitated, her brain digesting the language Rosana used.
"Prey... yes, prey!"
Lila heavily nodded. "You-you view l as so trophy, don’t you? I can tell you’re the type to pursue glory and fa instead of l and l alone."
l’s eyes glimred, more focused on how Lila pinpointed Rosana’s personality.
And as her pride dwelled on how much her Lila grew, Rosana rely shrugged.
"I don’t see any fault in that."
Unbothered, Rosana’s fingers danced in the air, a bit annoyed at her way of life being questioned.
"I’m a Heiress, a Leader, a Dragoness. I’m to take, and not to give. What would you understand about ?"
Rosana’s eyes narrowed; a subtle gesture to threaten Lila.
Though Lila rely stepped forward.
"And I disagree! I don’t know what your role limits you, but I do know when a person’s feeling is shown, you’ve a responsibility to reciprocate."
Her feet entered Rosana’s shade, then held her head high against Rosana’s suinting stare with her piercing, Erald eyes.
"To accept or to reject; to at least promise an answer soday, or to flat out tell l you don’t know what you feel."
Then, her lips curled into a taunting smirk.
"Alternatively, you could just say you’re not worthy of l’s love."
Damn, Lila!
l’s jaw hung open; has her Lila always been this good with words?!
Then she recalled when Lila always confessed her dark possession; hm, co to think of it, Lila was awkwardly fluent when it always ca to her, huh?
Yet Rosana rely squinted, a flicker of surprise crossing before it was quickly washed away with a chuckle.
"Those words were rely losers’ thinking."
The Heiress then crossed shoulders with Lila, before striding to the other side of the field.
"You think too little of ."
Her solemn back then turned around, before stretching her arm to spawn a two-handed battleaxe.
"Whether it was fa and glory, whether it was my prey’s love or hatred, I want them all. Consu them all."
Cold breeze flung up around Lila’s figure before she sent a sharp glare over her shoulder.
"You dare compare your pursuit of worldly wants to my l?"
"So what?"
Rosana shot an equally taunting grin; her axe now loosely hung on her shoulder, unthreatened by Lila’s seething tone.
"It’s simply a different way of living. You dedicate yourself to your lover, while I dedicate my life to all."
Lila swung her shoulder around. "That’s why I dislike you a lot."
"Oh. That’s a sha."
Rosana’s neck craned. "I have no need for your liking either."
A golden warrior facing a frosty mage; their staring contest locked with the intensity of a wildfire eting the frigid mountain.
In the midst of it, l rely thought.
’Wow... dogfight! Also, why did Lila pick a fight with Rosana right when they entered the room?!’
Complaining a little inside, a panel then popped up in l’s vision.
[ Oh? Envy and Greed fighting again? ]
’Again?!’
l scread inside, telepathing to Maria on habit.
’Don’t tell ...’
[No, their difference in ideologies is bound to lead to more fights. ]
[ Though, try to calm their shaky relationship a little, l. Rember... ]
[ The ca after the First Exam. You couldn’t afford to slack off too much. ]
"Ah... I see..."
l muttered to herself, yet right as she finished her thoughts, the duo had already prepared their stances.
The blue crystal shimred in a quiet rage, as Lila rely aid at Rosana; a quiet formality for the request of a duel.
Rosana then retracted her grin; intrigue, annoyance, and-
The Heiress hesitated, then glanced at l.
The pink-haired, flirty golden eyes remained, playful as she rembered, and srising as she liked.
Averting her eyes, she soon realised Lila stared at l too; the realisation exchanged when they crossed gazes again.
"When I win,"
Rosana’s eyes widened in craziness, desires flaring as she spoke.
"You cannot ever, ever interrupt in the ’private sessions’ in between and my prey, unless I specifically allow it."
"Hmph!"
This ti, ice fell out of the air as Lila’s cheeks bloated into her signature pout.
"Then if I win, the opposite. I can join in and interrupt you two no matter what."
The affirming eyes from earlier told Lila she could bet without worrying about repercussions.
Too bad; even if she had to interrupt l and Rosana’s flirting session, even when l and Rosana’s relationship potentially had the World itself at stake-
Then she rely needed to exceed l and that Saintess’s expectation, growing strong enough to replace Rosana’s role.
And first, she had to beat the Heiress, even in her weaker form!
The Witch of Envy took a deep breath, then muttered out.
"I declare a Frozen Wonderland upon this World."
