Hikaru was startled; he mentally scolded: 'This... plot annulled the legendary engagement? No! I can't let myself sink into this mud.'
He hastily explained: "Your Majesty, Anno, may not be able to determine her feelings. I think love has to come from both sides. It can't be forced."
"Hm?" Selvih heard that and stood up. Hikaru was scared. He felt that his life was like a candle in the wind, which could be blown out at any moment.
Hikaru thought he was stronger than before; however, to Selvih, he was still just an ant.
"Master!" Suddenly, Tsuraguki rushed into the room and stood in front of Hikaru. She didn't say a word, and she immediately stopped Selvih's aura.
The space seemed to be frozen; it was so dense that it made Hikaru unable to breathe. The two energies coming from Selvih and Tsuraguki collided, a gust of wind rose, and cracks started to appear in the small room.
