“Rachel, I love you and only you.”

“Huh?”

He softly bestows a kiss on my forehead.

I wonder what Lord Edward is saying all of the sudden. Is it possible that he actually knew what we were actually talking about?

I felt a warm sensation in my hand.

Lord Edward held my hand, he adorably places my hand against his cheek.

“Ray, my adorable darling Ray. I love you. Don’t forget that. No matter what happens, I will love you and only you.”

“That’s embarrassing. What are you even saying suddenly?”

As if to dote on me, he holds me as he rubs my cheek. He kisses me many times on my lips. As if to dissolve all of my worries. As well as to vanquish any thoughts that he might be deceiving me.

“Makoto and Yuki are on their way here now. They are also very worried about you.”

“Oh my, I’ve become a bother for the both of them…”

“It’s not something you need to apologize for. I wish I could be with you longer, but I have some royal duties I need to attend to, as soon as they get over here, I have to go ok?”

As Lord Edward said that, he brushes through my long hair with his pretty hands. He sometimes grasps my hair and his lips would get closer.

“Eddie…”

As I stare longingly back at Lord Edward, he kisses my cheeks.

A bit unsatisfied that the kiss wasn’t on my lips, I lightly stare back at Lord Edward, he chuckles. He kisses my lips several times after.

“Rachel! Are you ok?!”

As soon as Lord Edward started getting affectionate with me, Ms. Yuki came barging into the room without even knocking.

“Ah, Yuki. You’re supposed to knock and ask if anyone is inside before entering a room you know…”

It seemed like Ms. Makoto was with her as well. She was chastising the ever-impulsive Ms. Yuki. Looks like Ms. Makoto has it rough as well.

It’s not like Ms. Yuki was doing this out of spite or anything, so it seemed like Ms. Makoto was often off her guard.

“Ah, Edward… You were here. Get away from Rachel!!”

“…And exactly why do I have to take orders from you?”

Lord Edward’s warm smile disappeared as soon as he heard what Ms. Yuki had said. However, Ms. Yuki nonchalantly continued.

“You’re trying to break up with Rachel so you’re getting close to me and Makoto! All just so you can break up with Rachel, aren’t you? Well, I’m not going to let you!”

“He-hey… Yuki!”

“Break off my engagement? And exactly why do I have to break up with Rachel? Besides, even if I wanted to cancel the engagement, I wouldn’t need your help with that.”

Exactly just what is Ms. Yuki saying?!”

Lord Edward is angry. You could see a vein pop out between his eyebrows on his pretty face.

“Because I know! In order to try to trap Rachel, you arranged marriage with her, then you’re planning on framing her with a crime and then break off the engagement! By doing this, Rachel will die a cruel death, and I won’t let you!”

Wait, what! Ms. Yuki. Just what is with that imagination of yours?!
