"Wake up."

Yunier squatted beside Teresa, gently poking the girl's cheek with her finger.

(poke poke)

"Hey—wake up already!"

(poke poke poke)

"Don't sleep anymore! It's been days! Everyone's gone now! You should wake up—"

The Divine Favorer girl kept poking for quite a while, but the mixed Bloodline girl, who had fainted from excitement, still hadn't woken up.

Teresa was blissfully sleeping on the ground, comfortably curled up, showing no signs of awakening.

If she were just lazy in bed, that would be one thing.

But Teresa had been sleeping since Herbert and the others left, and it had been more than a day; if she didn't wake up soon, Yunier would start to really worry.

"Hmm... oh, I have an idea!"

Seeing Teresa sleep so happily, an evil thought flashed through Yunier's mind.

"Still sleeping! If you won't get up, don't blame me, hehe."

She leaned down, whispering into Teresa's ear: "Teresa! Stop sleeping!"

"If you keep sleeping, I'll tell everyone you like him..."

Before she finished speaking, the mixed Bloodline girl, who was lost in sweet dreams, suddenly opened her eyes, springing up from the ground.

Whoosh—

Teresa clamped a hand over Yunier's mouth, pinning her to the ground, gritting her teeth: "You! Shut up!"

Didn't I tell you not to say that anymore!?

Didn't you promise me you wouldn't say anything!?

"Mmph mmph—pfft!"

Yunier pretended to struggle for a moment, winking at Teresa—she clearly hadn't said anything, yet managed to convey everything.

It was urgent.

There, see, you got flustered, right?

The more upset you are, the more it proves I'm right.

"You!"

That teasing look made Teresa furious.

"Yunier! I'm going to get mad!"

"Hehe! Look at you, getting all worked up... ah!"

In the chaos, it was unclear who started it, but the two girls ended up "wrestling" each other.

They pushed and shoved, pinched cheeks and waists, fighting intensely.

And after a while of such strenuous tussling, both girls simultaneously fell back in defeat, lying next to each other, panting heavily.

"Ha, ha... fine, I'll let you off this time, but next time I won't be so lenient," Teresa muttered quietly.

Midway through their scuffle, Teresa realized there was no one else around to hear her little secret.

So, her earlier reaction was a bit overboard, unwittingly confirming her little crush once more.

But, once the mischief started, it's hard to admit fault halfway through.

It's a common feeling, actually.

Regardless of gender, when arguing with others, there's often a moment midway through when you realize the problem might be with yourself.

And at that point, it takes great courage to apologize on the spot; most people deflect, subtly turning a "principle matter" into an "attitude problem."

From "Isn't it your fault this time?" turning into "Even if I made a blunder, wasn't your tone too harsh?".

From "That incident was definitely your fault!" turning into "You're so mean, it must mean you don't love me anymore!".

Irrespective of gender, irrespective of right or wrong, it's all about stubbornness.

"Pfft, haha!"

After Teresa's awkward mumble, Yunier giggled, teasing, "Ha, ha... hahaha! Listening to you, it's almost like it's real~ haha!"

Teresa rolled her eyes at her, pouted, and then couldn't help but start laughing herself.

The two girls, just a moment ago in a scramble, now ended up giggling together.

"Um..."

After laughing for a while, Teresa hesitated but finally mustered the courage to apologize to her friend: "Sorry, I got too worked up earlier."

Although this incident could be forgotten, and Yunier probably wouldn't mind much.

But if she didn't apologize, Teresa would feel guilty inside.

"It's okay~"

Yunier cheerfully accepted Teresa's apology, not taking the little incident to heart at all, waving her hand casually, "Alright, I was also at fault; I really shouldn't have teased you about that, I was wrong!"

"I won't do it again, and I won't tease you anymore! I won't mention your crush on him... pfft!"

As she said this, Yunier couldn't help but laugh midway, causing Teresa to pout and complain endlessly.

"Still laughing! You're still laughing! You never stopped!"

After another round of chaos, Teresa finally remembered the important matter and asked, "What about Lord Herbert? Was he upset when he saw me faint?"

The girl felt uneasy, thinking about how useless she was to have fainted in front of him.

Would Lord Herbert think she's a useless burden?

She wanted to be his support; even if she couldn't do it now, at least she shouldn't drag him down.

But her performance was so embarrassing.

Alas...

"Him? He doesn't know!"

"Hmm!!?"

The girl suddenly raised her head, looking at her friend in confusion.

What's going on?

He really doesn't know!

She had fainted, according to Yunier, and had been in a coma for a day and a night; everyone else already knew about it.

But Lord Herbert didn't?

Does it mean he doesn't care about me at all?
