That What
Lelia muttered in surprise. It was difficult to understand what she heard just now. Does Griffith know what happened last night? How? Griffith was still calm while watching Lelias reaction.
I asked if you embraced him.
Griffy, I
Lelia swallowed her saliva. She didnt know how the hell he knew about it, but soon sha poured in. Griffith, who shalessly brought up such a story, felt strange. But she didnt want to make excuses that she wasnt lying. So, she hesitated to answer, but Griffith said, Youve been like that since you were young.
What?
How affectionate and sentintal the eyes of that boy are. Whenever it rains, it gets very Whats so good about that idiot.
Griffith.
In his angry voice, Griffith kicked his tongue low and sighed deeply. Then he spoke in a softer tone.
Its okay, Im not trying to reprimand you.
You have to have all of us anyway. You can think that the order has been pushed around.
What are you talking about?
Do you want to make it easy? It ans you just have to hug all of us like you hugged Oscar last night.
Griffiths expression and tone were calm as if reciting doctrines. It wasnt about the content.
Lelias forehead was wrinkled by the informal remark. What did Griffith just say?
You cant just love one person, Lelia.
Griffith had an attitude as if saying the obvious. At the mont, Lelia even misunderstood, wondering if she was strange. Or if she misunderstood Griffiths words.
What, you dont understand?
Griffith, I dont know what youre saying
Ill explain it to you easily.
Griffith leaned with his arm on his knee. Then he explained in a neat face and a soft tone. Wearing a white, new official suit, he looked especially noble today. But what ca out of his mouth was the opposite.
Youre raising four dogs. What if you only adore one dog? Do you want to kill the rest of them?
Griffith pushed without ti for her to think.
Think of yourself as an emperor. If you like only one of your servants Will the rest be able to survive?
You cant understand no matter how many tis I explain it. Griffith mumbled as if frustrated. He continued on, Lelia, do you want us to stab each other to death? You said you wanted us to live happily ever after.
Lelia began to shake. Is it because of anger or fear? Griffith was shaless even though he was saying sothing that was not common sense at all.
Griffith, are you crazy?
She could barely get it out, but Griffith grinned.
Im more rational than ever. Theres nothing hard to accept. I want to have you all to myself, but. Griffith crumpled his forehead as if he were a little discouraged. He looked sad. What can I do? This is all a sacrifice for you. I have to kill the rest to have you for myself.
I cant make you happy. I hate it when you cry
What the hell?
Im sure the sa goes for the others. Thats why I suggested a peaceful way.
Griffith focused on Lelias resentnt for not accepting this thod. He looked like he was scolding a greedy child. Feelings such as betrayal and anger fluttered in Lelias eyes as she listened to Griffith. Griffith didnt think much of those feelings even after reading it in her eyes. He couldnt hate Lelia anyway. It was the sa with other guys.
Lelia was particularly weak against them four. Griffith knew very well what friends ant to her and how important they were. No matter what he does, Lelia will have no choice but to forgive him. Even if they four push her to the edge, she will eventually forgive and accept. It was natural that she was so precious to them.
After finishing his speech, Griffith looked at her with a smile. Lelias body hardened like a stone statue. Griffith sighed as if he was relieved now. He leaned against the back of the sofa and crossed his legs. It was ti to make a choice.
Lelia, you choose yourself.
What?
The next person. I wish youd pick .
Griffith looked at her with a strange intention. At that mont, Lelia frowned as a sensation of discomfort covered her whole body.
Griffith, I cant understand you
You wont be able to get out of here before you choose .
What?
She thought she couldnt be shocked by anything else, but Lelia stiffened once again. She could only look at Griffith with betrayal in her eyes. She tried to trust Griffith again after what he did last ti, but
Of course, I have no intention of barbarically locking the door. I cant believe he locked you up.
But if you go out before you choose, Ill be the first to visit Roo and Kalix.
Griffith.
Im going to kill them. If we point swords at each other, no one will get just hurt. There will be fatal injuries to each other.
Griffith, who sounded crazy yet with a very calm face, felt like he was destroying his mind. Common sense collapsed, and he felt like he was becoming abnormal.
I feel sorry for you.
Griffith muttered softly as he saw her pale. As if it were really unfortunate, his eyes contained pity. Lelia abhorred this abominable Griffith. It was even more creepy to think that those words and eyes said all this sincerely.
But what can I do?
If you want peace, you have no choice but to choose. If you want us to put knives in each others hearts I cant help it.
Griffith said with a refreshing look, Youre the only one who needs to accept it.
As always, you just have to smile by my side.
However, his expression as he spat out the last word was cold. All the kindness shown so far was false. It was like a heavy warning. Then Griffith lifted himself up as if he had finished what he had to say. And finally, she noticed it.
You seem to need ti to prepare your heart for this.
Then Ill co to you at night, Lelia.
Griffith gave a subtle look with his expectations. Lelia got goosebumps as if a bug were crawling on her skin. Thud! When she heard the door closing, she finally burst out of breath. Tears poured down her eyes.
At that mont, an unknown feeling settled in her heart. She was going crazy because she felt uncomfortable. Lelia ran straight to the bathroom nauseated. After gasping for a long ti, she poured cold water all over her body. Otherwise, she felt like she couldnt get herself together. She stood for a long ti to the point where her jaw trembled, and then ca out.
Even after changing into dry clothes, the cold did not go away. Lelia crouched down on the sofa, shaking her chin. When she turned her head, she saw the bed. When she rembered that Griffith said he would co at night, her forehead crumbled. Griffith is.
As always, you just have to smile by my side.
What he said was stuck like rain and could not be erased. Sothing must have happened to his mind. Otherwise, how could he However, she also rembered the conversation she had with Kalix.
Go get him.
Marry , marry him.
Is it weird? I thought youd marry when I misunderstood you as a man. Whats there to know?
Ahh, whats wrong with that? Marriage between n or marriage between two n for one woman. What is odd?
I dont care, so lets do that.
Lelia felt like her head was about to burst. They were not normal. But now she was almost confused. Their attitude as if it were obvious. Griffiths gaze, which seed to be resentful, ca to mind as if she was forcing her friends to sacrifice sothing. At that mont, her mind began to white out like a blank sheet. In the midst of spacing out, she only heard strange noises such as beeps. Lelia blinked her eyes.
[Not them. Am I weird?]
She blinked as if she had beco an idiot.
***
She hugged her knees for a long ti and trembled. She had looked out the window nervously hundreds of tis. She was relieved that the night had not co yet. She wanted to get out of here and run away.
If she did, Griffith would really try to kill Roo and Kalix. Of course, they wont die easily. But in the end, if they aim swords at one another It was terrible just thinking about it. What she wants is for everyone to be as happy as they were when they were young
[Do I want sothing too difficult? I thought everything was solved, but it was all an illusion.]
It was then.
Knock, knock
The sound of knocking on the door made her heart drop into the ground. It was still bright outside the window. Did Griffith change his mind and co already? As the fear built, the door soon opened.
Creak
The short ti as the door opened felt very long.
Lelia.
Her body, which was trembling, relaxed completely after hearing the familiar voice. It was Roo. He peeked in and ca up to surprise Lelia.
Whats wrong with you?
He frowned when he saw her hair wet in cold water.
Didnt you dry your hair after washing up?
Ro, Roo
She felt so relieved that it was Roo and not Griffith. Lelia grabbed his collar like an anxious person.
Wait.
He shook off Lelias hand and stood behind the sofa. She tried to turn her head reflexively, but a warm wind blew over her head. A magical, warm wind flowed from Roos hand and wrapped around her hair.
You werent this clumsy when you were young Did you quit being the leader? Whats the difference between you and a dog?
Roo
Her wet hair quickly dried. As soon as Roo turned around, Lelia grabbed him and dragged him down.
What? Roo grumbled but sat next to her as soon as he was pulled.
Roo, I think Griffith is crazy.
Oh, really? Did you just find out? Hes a nutcase. Roo jokingly replied.
Its not that, its really Thats what Im saying.
As Lelia muttered in a trembling voice, Roos forehead crumpled. Lelias reaction was unusual.
What do you an by crazy?
Griffith had an attitude to persuade Lelia very slowly. He wondered why there was a sudden change of heart. It was then.
Stop, please Did you know too? Lelia asked with a shocked look.
