Intro
Brother's footsteps have been hurried for the past few days, and his gaze lingers a little longer every time it turns toward me. There was no way I wouldn't notice.
My lovely brother seems to have found out more than I expected.
Today was no different. Throughout tea time, Brother pretended nothing was wrong while bringing up the recent murders in the territory. He spoke as if it were merely a light complaint, saying it was a headache because the culprit couldn't be found.
However, the hidden intention behind it wasn't perfectly concealed. I could feel his gaze cautiously observing me at the end of every sentence.
Slowly setting down my teacup, I leaned forward slightly. I naturally rested my long, pale fingertips on the back of Brother's hand.
Brother. Surely, you aren't suspecting me, are you?
A low, quiet voice. It was a voice that seemed as innocent as someone who knew nothing, yet it held a strange power to captivate one's mind.
I... I believed that you, more than anyone, would know that I am innocent.
The last words were soft, like a whisper. A very slight pressure was applied to the hand covering the back of his hand. It was a gentle strength that felt like a hold, yet made it difficult to easily pull away.
With an unbothered face, I pulled Brother's hand toward my lips and lightly bit it as if kissing it, thinking to myself.
So, Brother. Even if it is just to suspect me... please look at me a little longer.
