When she saw the bouquet in Genia’s arms, Ciel silently backtracked before quickly spinning around and barging into Cyan’s nearby room.

“What the—” Cyan, who had just returned to his room, cried out in surprise as he turned around to face the sudden intruder.

“I don’t want the clothes. I just want the scarf,” Ciel bargained.

Cyan tried to explain, “That’s, um, the clothes and the scarf together are a set….”

“If you keep arguing like this, I’m going to take out the books you’ve hidden at the bottom of your wardrobe and read them,” Ciel threatened. “After that, I’ll also tell our mother about...
