"Scraaaatch!!"
âKyah?!â
Ethan suddenly grinned, slipping his hand under the collar of my nightgown and tearing the fabric apart. Not just a button popping offâhe ripped a piece of cloth vertically, as wide as his hand.
âWhat the hell are you doing, you bastard?!â
âYou donât listen, Lilith, so Iâm re-educating you.â
âEducation?! Youâre insane!!â
He tossed aside the torn piece of my sky-blue nightgown and reached for me again. His blatant crossing of boundaries left me no choice but to prepare a spell.
I really tried to talk things outâ¦!
Now that things had reached this point, I had no option but to use force. Ethan had clearly crossed the line first. Even though we were indoors somewhere in the Blackwood estate, magic was my only viable way to face him.
âHe doesnât even have his sword right now, so Iâll just need to subdue him without causing too much injury.â
With that thought, I conjured a spectral arrow in my right hand, aiming it at his thigh.
-Swoosh.@@novelbin@@
ââ¦Huh?â
Before I could release it, the arrow dissipated into fragments of mana in my hand.
