Bara no Scarlet

Chapter 17

Interlude

            The world was cruel, wasn't it? The world was cruel, and the swords were sharp.

            They cut, they sliced.

            And each one was sharper than the one before it. Like words.

            "But you can't become my Prince."

            "Because you're a girl."

            The world was cruel.

            The pain was unbelievable.

            But there was solace.

            He was solace.

            Only in his arms was there peace.

            But why was it silent around that woman? If only he could offer solace, where were the words and the swords around that woman? Where did they go?

            Blue eyes opened wide in the darkness.

            Who was Anshii Himemiya?
