Chapter 2

Okay, I’ll be honest: I know it was kind of weird to brandish a baguette as a weapon, and I didn’t exactly expect it to be especially useful. Mostly, I was just hoping it could calm my nerves.

But soon as I flung the doors open, I was grateful that I had it. Because immediately, I felt myself falling into confusion and panic over the scene that lay before me.

“With this, I’ll return everything to the way it was supposed to be. I loved you, Seth,” a sweet, familiar voice said. I would have called it “translucent,” if voices could actually be that way. She muttered something, but from where I was standing, I couldn’t make it out.

Slumped on the floor and looking depleted of all energy was Lily, who I hadn’t seen in a long time (at least, not while she was conscious). She was smiling through her tears.

With a steady grip, she was pointing a sharp knife straight at her neck.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on, but fortunately, my body moved on its own. Without a moment’s hesitation, I flung the baguette I’d been wielding straight at Lily’s slender arm.

Baguettes could be pretty hard, but I figured that it wouldn’t do any serious damage even if it hit her. I’d like to say I thought about that before I threw it out at her, but truth be told, I honestly didn’t have the time to until the deed had already been done. The only thing I’d been thinking about when I threw it was how to make her drop the knife before it plunged into her throat.

Fortunately, my plan worked. The baguette hit her straight in the arm, forcing her to drop the knife. It fell to the ground with a metallic clang and slid across the floor. I couldn’t believe how perfectly I’d pulled that off.

“What? Bread...? No... It can’t be! Lady Rose?”

Lily, who was probably not expecting to have her suicide attempt thwarted by an errant breadstick (to be fair, I doubt anyone in this world would), spent a good several seconds just blinking at the interloper in shock. Then, she turned to scan the room for me. When she found me, her face contorted into a look of distress that shook me where I stood.

I was still frozen in the pose I’d struck hurling the baguette; I stared back at her, feeling about as awkward as any woman could, with my right arm and left leg thrust out in front of me.

I had absolutely no idea why Lily would have wanted to kill herself. But before I asked any questions about that, there was something else I needed to know...

Where the hell is that Pompous Prince?! What’s he doing, asleep at the wheel at a time like this?!

I briefly broke eye contact with Lily to look around the room angrily in search of him. That’s when I spotted his dazzling golden hair. He was sitting on the floor, hanging his head. He was closer to me than to Lily, basically right by the doors.
