"..."
After listening to her comrades, W did not refute for the first time. Most of her attention was still on Griseo.
She looked down at the little guy leaning on her, then finally looked up at her comrades with a hint of helplessness.
"Don't look at me... You called the people over by yourself, solve it yourself." After seeing W's eyes, Ines said in a low voice without mercy.
"..."
Hedley on the other hand just spread his hands helplessly.
Finally, W, unable to seek help from her comrades, lowered her head with a bitter expression. She looked at the delicate face of the little girl and pondering what to do next.
She was used to being crazy and flamboyant, and being asked to change so suddenly... She didn't know what to do or how to get along with others.
Moreover, W's heart was also very confused now. Although she didn't completely believe what Griseo said earlier, some of it still hurt her deeply.
"Hmm..."
After feeling W's gaze on her, Griseo rubbed her eyes slowly and "woke up."
Why had the little girl leaned on W for so long?
The reason was simple: she was trying to unlock Senti. After all, the opportunity was rare. And... she had to act convincingly.
"꒪꒫꒪)?"
However, when Griseo opened her eyes, she was met with W's unsmiling and complicated expression.
At this moment, the little girl had to admit her previous attack had been effective...
"..."
Then W looked at Griseo who had woken up, opened her mouth several times to say something, but didn't say anything in the end...
"W, what's wrong?"
Looking at W, who was now unconfident because of her own criticism, Griseo asked knowingly with some doubt in her eyes.
"…Do you remember what happened just now?"
Looking at the innocent face of Griseo in front of her, W slowed down a little, organized her words, and asked in a calm tone.
As for why she said "tried her best," it was because W subconsciously almost raised the corners of her lips to mock.
"꒪꒫꒪)? Is W talking about pinching me just now?" After hearing W's question, Griseo touched her jaw with a puzzled look, which still had a red mark.
"..."
Looking at the innocent face of Griseo, W was suddenly speechless again. At the same time, her own hand subconsciously touched her jaw, trying to cover it.
She knew without even looking that there must be a few red marks on her jaw now, and there might even be bruises... After all, the little girl had been really strong earlier.
"Hmm...? Forget it, W, don't bully me next time. I will really be angry, and Mr. Knight and the others will be very angry too..." Griseo looked at the silent W, tilted her head, and said seriously.
The little girl naturally noticed W's actions and the marks on her face, but... she was already angry, so she planned to stop here for the time being.
"...Okay."
Looking at the innocent and lovely Griseo, who was completely different from earlier, W did not choose to be stubborn for once but nodded and agreed.
The little girl's reaction almost confirmed W's guess that she had two personalities...
Otherwise, she had no way to explain the situation just now.
"Then, W, is there anything else you want to know? Like I said before, I will tell you if I know..."
Griseo looked at W, who had completely lost her temper in front of her personality, and asked with a smile flashing in her big eyes.
After hearing this, W was silent for a while, then lowered her head and asked in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible:
"Well, little... Griseo, I want to know, is what I saw in your painting false?"
This was the first time that W did not call Griseo a provocative and teasing little guy.
"Hmm..."
Although W spoke very softly this time, Griseo, who was sitting next to her, still heard it very clearly and fell into deep thought.
This question was really hard for the little girl to answer... Because everyone's color is different, the effect of her painting is also different. Some show the original real future, and some are just nightmares...
Normally, if someone only saw the fear in their heart through Griseo's painting, she could still comfort them and tell them that it was all fake.
But...
"..."
Thinking, Griseo slowly raised her head and looked at W seriously, or rather, at the color behind her that belonged to her...
A deep dark red mixed with a faint warm yellow slowly reflected in the little girl's beautiful purple eyes that were shining with light.
Earlier, Griseo had quietly sighed in her heart about the special color of W... But at that time, she only thought that the warm color was someone's softness hidden in their heart.
But now, the little girl had a different feeling and understanding.
"Hmm?"
W looked at Griseo, who did not answer her doubts but suddenly looked at her seriously, and a trace of unknown doubt flashed across her face.
Not only W, but Ines and Hedley, who had been paying attention to and observing Griseo since she "woke up," couldn't help but tense up again after seeing her behavior.
After all, who could be sure that the previous situation would not happen again?
After being stared at by W with inexplicable and doubtful eyes, Griseo slowly came back to her senses, then looked at her golden eyes seriously and said:
"Not necessarily... W, your color is special. It has a warm color, as if someone is protecting you."
"..."
At this moment, W fell into complete silence. She had asked Griseo this question because she still had a little hope and didn't completely believe what "Griseo" said earlier...
But now, the little girl's words completely made her hope disappear little by little as her face became paler and paler.
"I should have known it earlier..."
At this moment, W slowly covered her chest with one hand, then lowered her head, making it difficult for people to see her expression.
"I've been always... here."
Her highness' gentle words at that time seemed to ring in her ears again...
"꒪꒫꒪)?"
Looking at W, who suddenly fell into complete silence, Griseo was slightly stunned, and a trace of confusion and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Did she say anything heartbreaking just now?
In the end, after thinking about it for a while, the little girl couldn't come up with a reason, so she could only attribute it to the fact that she might have fooled her too hard earlier.
