Chapter 37

I poured tea into two cups and gave them to Luna and Erza. I didn't dare to stare at them to avoid detecting anything unusual. I bowed my head and sat down across from them. While I wasn't paying attention, I wondered if Luna Layla had been drinking tea. She suddenly shouted and splashed tea on me.

The burning sensation made me jump, immediately standing up instinctively. Fortunately, I lowered my head at that time so the tea did not splash on my face. Looking at my arm, which quickly turned red from being burned, I felt highly resentful. The anger in my heart quickly flared up, but I knew this was Moon Castle; no matter how unreasonable Luna Layla was, I couldn't stand firm against her.

I tried to be patient; my hands clenched into fists. If I had long fingernails, my nails would have been forbidden to go deep into my skin by now.

"So hot! You want me to get burned?" Luna Layla's shrill scream rang out. Although her tone was angry, her eyes were filled with smugness and provocation.
