What is this familiar throbbing pain in my heart? Firis sniffled as she thought to herself. It had been a rather disconcerting experience not to hear the princess' scathing criticism over the past few days, but who would've thought that she'd encounter a little girl who could fill in that role instead? Even as she was saying such hurtful things, her bright blue eyes were completely clear and innocent, so Firis simply couldn't bring herself to resent this little girl.
It was just like when she was with the princess; she was simply far too beautiful for anyone to stay mad at her for long.
On top of that, they both spoke in such a matter-of-fact manner as if they were merely stating facts rather than delivering malicious insults, and that only made it more difficult for Firis to be mad at them.
