"Miss Bella, your lab is incredible!" Estella praises me as she follows me into my lab. I just walk in silence, going deeper and opening a secret passage.
"I... didn't know you had that there," Estella murmurs as she follows me. I just sigh, hoping Shizune finishes checking the surroundings and comes soon.
As we go through a corridor, we end up in an empty area that looks like a dome.
"Miss Bella, what did you come here for?" Estella asks, and without even realizing it, I quickly knock her down, get on top of her, grab a hidden dagger, and put it to her throat.
"..." Estella just stands there, not understanding how I did that.
"Estella, I'm not stupid. I'm 278 years old and know very well how to defend myself, even though I seem so fragile compared to a normal human," I say to her with a smile, stopping the act.
"Ah... I see," she just says as I press the dagger, making some of her blood drip.
"...I thought you were an idiot," Estella tells me.
