"Shei..la?"
What is the meaning of this? Sheila, want to kill me?
No, it must be just me who misheard it. Let's make some more of the medicine, like this I won't be too stressed.
"Done."
Let's read a book at the river. Then, I will feel better.
"Hirana, why do you look so down?"
"Ah, Raellis."
That surprised me. Raellis, my only friend since the first time I met her on my 6th birthday at midnight. She is not my friend, to begin so since she is already stuck with me because of nolla. Our first meeting is not that good nor bad. She saves my life by kill a wolf that attacked me.
"It's nothing, just happen to found a sad scene in this book."
"If you want to lie, please be more logical. You never even once read a romance book also, those library doesn't have romance book either."
She hit me on the nails. If I tell her about Sheila, would she believe it? Well, she always being indifferent so, it should be okay.
"Actually..."
*after explaining them
"I believe you."
"As I thought you would- Pardon!?"
I don't believe it. Raellis does believe in me.
That time, I, who always solve the issues on my own, would feel this relief just because I'm telling someone my problem.
"I always tell you that you can't trust anyone, ended up you trusting that maid. Now, look at yourself."
"I know, sorry."
But, she is the only one who did take care of me. That's why I trust her at all costs. But now, she betrayed me, my heart crushing like a glass.
"Now, what do you want to do?"
I feel hopeless right now. I don't know what to do.
"I...don't know what to do."
Just like that, I'm crying at Raellis shoulder quietly. She hugs me as she wants to comfort me. I know I can't trust anyone, but I think it would be okay if that person is you.
"Don't worry. I will help you."
After that, Raellis tells me her plan for me.
And the night comes by. Dinner is serving on the table, just for me. As Raellis mention earlier, from now, Sheila will be trying everything she has to kill me.
(The food is poisoning. Let's cast naturalizing spells so that I can eat them.)
Sheila doesn't aware of me using some high-class spell since she thinks I'm stupid. Poor Sheila, from now, I won't be a good girl for you.
"I'm done. Sheila, clean this up."
Let's go to bed. We will look if you could use something good to kill me.
"So, you spray a bottle of poison on my bed and also put a needle on my pillow?"
Look like she is serious about this thing. Well, let's naturalizing them again.
Ah, what is it behind my back? A knife?!
"Good night, Your Highness. Hope you will have a good sleep with Her Highness The Queen."
As soon I realize it, I grab her hand and look into her eyes.
"I never thought my lovely nanny would even try to assassinate me."
"And I never thought that you would be able to grip my hands this strong either."
Haa...I thought she was just a capable maid, but I never know she is one of the assassins too.
"I never know that you are an assassin, Sheila. I'm quite surprised."
"Same as me, Your Highness. I didn't know that you can handle a dagger so well."
Yeah, of course, you didn't know since I'm practicing using sword and dagger in secret at my hidden place.
Under the moonlight, we're fighting as we are dancing on the crystal floor. It's the first time in my life fighting someone since all I do this time is trying to survive.
"You're quite good, Sheila."
"You too, Your Highness. But, I wouldn't be soft with you from now."
Woah, she's fast. If I do one wrong step, I will be dead meat.
She's attacking!
"Shit!"
Just like that, I make a huge mistake.
"Sheila!"
I accidentally stab her with my hand.
