章 106: Chapter 3. The Rose and the Crow

When Rachel said those words in front of me, I was still confused for a long time.

And, even more embarrassingly, it was at that moment that the commander of the guards came into the imperial dining room. He caught our ambiguous pose by chance, and coughing embarrassedly.

I blushed in the blink of an eye, while Rachel frowned.

— What's wrong? — She asked coldly. «Have you forgotten the rules about not disturbing me on my own time?»

He shook his head hastily.

— Y-Your Majesty, that's not it at all…! But we can't make that decision ourselves.

— Hmm?

The girl finally pulled away from me, and I was able to exhale freely. The commander approached her and said something in her ear. After that Rachel seemed even more annoyed.

— Again? — snorted.

— I wanted to clarify your orders. Should we kill her, or…

Rachel took a deep breath.

— Let her in.

— What?» the man staggered.

— I'm going to finish this myself.
