Sorry to Keep You Waiting!

It was only a dungeon mission.

It was only supposed to be that mission.

So.. HOW THE FUCK DID THAT TURN INTO THIS?!

Was what Noelle Silva thought, as she glances at the duo of Kieran and Flowery and that her elder brother knows them.

What specifically shocks her is that…

Nozel has actual beef with Flowery.

Although the way the Fallen Flower treated her was more honest than her OWN brother. She always had an inkling that despite how much more nicer he’d been to her, there was always something she didn’t know.

Fuegoleon and Kieran were just watching, but the latter is just sighing like he heard this back-and-forth before, while the former is confused. Rightfully confused.

Leopold and Mimosa too.

Hell, it even puzzles her! Noelle had gotten separated from Fuegoleon, Nozel, Leo and Mimosa due to the fact that the dungeon shifted.

And Flowery just helped her back. She and him had no choice to cooperate, but he was honest.

Noelle really valued that.

“Aw, Nozy, you never told me that you had a sweet sibling that you’ve been putting down?”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

Flowery looks confused. “But haven’t you been there for her throughout her childhood?”

Nozel looks mad. Kieran and Fuegoleon don’t want to touch that part.

“Family, friends, what are they but roles we have to play for the sake of someone?”

“..” Nozel looks downright mad now. “How would YOU know that?”

Flowery pats his head, “You should consider more honesty, you know?”

Kieran steps back, unwilling to intervene. Fuegoleon asks, “What is-“

The Sky’s Chosen merely hushed the Captain of the Crimson Lions.

“And haven’t I told Raly that ‘rules are just a suggestion’? You should take that to heart as well. Might not hurt, lil’ buddy.”

Nozel finally lost it.

“YOU WANT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO THAT?!” He approaches him, yanking him by his shirt collar, “IT’LL BE EVEN MORE WORSE THAN WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH!”

All composure broken. No more formalities. Fuegoleon, Leopold and Mimosa’s shocked expressions told Noelle they never had seen Nozel snap like this before.

Kieran looked all too painfully familiar with it though. But even he was horrified that Nozel had used a low blow.

“What..” she finally found her voice. “Exactly do I not know?”

Nozel gasps, forgetting the unwanted audience. Flowery doesn’t even have the smug look on his gace anymore.

In fact, the flower looked remorseful.

“Did you get what you wanted out of that?” Nozel hisses. And a silent “Mostlys” was Flowery’s answer.

“Big brother… wasn’t that too far?”
