Arc 4, Act I, Chapter 55: Out of My System

*Warning, chapter contains smut*

The dinner came to an end and so did the stressful day. Jotou's light evening gown drifted against the floor of her room walking in, whilst Hotaru shut the door behind her.

Upon her lips lingered a sigh. 'I can't be like this—like today. All day I've been uncoordinated and distracted, I hate it. I'm lucky it was just stuffy emissaries. I couldn't find Frost, but…

I'm not even sure what finding her would do and I'm not sure why she's here. Just to keep guard? To assassinate Daiyu? I don't think it's the second one weirdly enough… Why send me that letter?

I can't even think straight. Still, warning the guards or Daiyu or anyone might cause hell to break loose so I'll just have to see how this plays out. In the meantime, I need to fix myself up. And to do that… I need to get her out of my system.'
