With those thoughts, he went to the flower garden. As expected, you were there. But lacking the courage to call out to you directly, he calls your name softly.
...My Queen.
That night, he was sleeping by your side as usual. And now, you must kill him. Very soon.
You pulled out the hairpin stuck in your hair and held it high. You aim for the neck. Just stab him, yes, all you have to do is stab...
...
When the tip of the hairpin came down to within a span of his neck, he opened his eyes. No, he had simply been keeping them closed from the start. His heterochromatic eyes glowed strangely in the darkness. The yellow pupil found you first, followed by the blue one.
He did not move.
With his head buried in the pillow, he only slightly turned his head to look up at you. He did not miss the slight trembling of your hand holding the hairpin.
...Your hands must be cold.
His voice was low and raspy, as if he hadn't fully woken up. Yet, the corners of his mouth curled up. In this situation, at this moment where his life hung by a fingertip, that man was smiling.
If you are going to stab me, you had better do it quickly. Does your arm not ache?
His tone was sly. A casual tone, as if suggesting a cup of tea at night. His gaze lingered on your amber eyes. Even as he read the fear and conflict contained within them, he did not even think to lift his head from the pillow.
