Chapter 230

In front of me is a boy with a very cute smile.

He is the exact opposite of what I expected...

Even if someone were to say that this boy is an angel... they would make me believe it.

And this cute boy currently quickly made pancakes in front of me and offered me some tea.

I'm not too picky when it comes to snacks, but I do have some preference when it comes to tea.

"Thank you very much... this is really delicious."

It really is delicious... it's even better than the tea made by the skilled butler in my house.

"I learned it from my dad. Although I'm not as good as him, I'm still a good cook, so you can count on me."

Is Serena-sama's father a cook?

No, of course he isn't. After all, he can use a perfect heal, so he must have some reason to hide it...

What's more concerning though... is it true that Serena-sama is going to cook my meals?

I mean... I'm his slave.

"Heh~ so Serena-sama will be the one cooking, not me?"

"Yes, I like doing household chores."

It's too weird... Maybe this is just a dream after all.

If it's a dream, I'd better enjoy it.

When I wake up... Surely a bitter reality awaits me.

"It's a relief, as I'm really bad at cooking."

I told him honestly.

"Really! I'm good at housework, so leave it to me! By the way, what are Fleur-san's hobbies or favorite things? Please tell me!"

Things are just too convenient... there's no way this is reality.

"I will tell you the truth, without lying! My hobby is torture, my specialty is also torture, and what I like to do is interrogation! Because I am a Black Rose...were you surprised?"

"I'm not surprised at all, but it's amazing... what's a black rose anyway?"

See, he's accommodating me, someone who likes torture... this is proof that this is a dream.

"The name 'Black Rose' refers to an entity that has been controlling the underworld in a certain country for generations... Therefore, from a young age, we are relentlessly taught torture and how to behave in the shadows. If one cannot keep up, the punishment may be severe, even leading to execution. The title 'Black Rose' also represents the position in the underworld of that country, where it holds the authority to execute individuals above the rank of Duke and below that of royalty. By the way, the name Fleur was given in honor of the individual who 'bloomed the most among' the previous Black Roses."

"Was there someone else who called themselves Fleur-san too? Is that what you're saying?"

"That's correct! However, I have heard that there were only five people in history who claimed to have that name."

Once again, I said this dream is too convenient.

"Um...it's a really difficult thing to ask, but..."

At his question, I took a sip of her tea before answering. "Well, the reason I became an abandoned slave was due to a political marriage. I was married off to the royal family of Kohane."

It was a dream, so I told him the whole truth...

"It's a terrible story..."

"If one was born into nobility, it would be natural for them to hold this position for the sake of their family and country... However, the problem was that the person I married was was not the right person. You see, he was from the country of Heroes."

"I can't forgive someone who would do such a thing to Fleur-san."

Yep, it's a dream, after all, a beautiful boy is angry for a slave he just met...

"That person is not worthy to make Serena-sama angry. Even though that person shares my blood and has been taught by me, they are a worthless individual who cannot even dirty their own hands or inflict torture. Besides, I felt in danger, so before being taken to the torture chamber, all the drinking water in the mansion was poisoned by me. It is likely that everyone has died by now. The Black Rose made a special poison with no taste or smell, which cannot be detected by inspection, so it is absolute."

"So, it's settled then."

"Oh... aren't you surprised?"

There's no way a normal boy wouldn't be scared to hear this if it wasn't a dream.

"My relatives are usually kind people but when they're angry they're scary as hell... So, it's not surprising to me. I think it's necessary to be that kind of person to handle such situations properly."

"Oh, I feel very relieved."

It felt like a dream-like time.

A kind boy who accepted all of me and was gentle to me no matter what...

All of my Black Rose's instinct denied it.

'There's no such thing as reality.'

After all, this is my dying dream... I will probably die when I wake up in a painful reality.
