Anna Jadwin clutched the knife handle tightly, while Wayne Bailey clutched the blade, the two stood confronting each other like wild beasts.
Blood dripped onto the ground, pooling into a small puddle...
Nanny Boltie woke up in shock: "Young lady, let go quickly!"
Anna Jadwin came back to her senses and let go abruptly.
Wayne Bailey swung forcefully, and the dinner knife flew far away, splattering blood as it went.
The servants handed a towel and called a doctor immediately.
Wayne Bailey held his hand down, his face showing extreme frustration, glaring at Anna Jadwin-
She was clearly the one exception among all prohibitions, the one anomaly in the ordinary world. Everything was supposed to be foolproof, yet she proved otherwise!
...
Anna Jadwin had only lightly slashed her arm, only breaking the skin. A little medicine and bandaging, and it would heal quickly.
Of course, she wasn't foolish enough to seriously harm herself!
