I've always been good at reading the room. That's why I play the villain, just as my half-sister Marine, who yearns to be a tragic heroine, wishes. If I didn't, my father, who dotes on Marine, would withhold my meals.

Alright, alright, I'll just pour wine over your head so you two can hurry up and be all lovey-dovey... Or so I thought, until my wrist, grabbed by the Marquis Balgoa's son, let out a dull, sickening snap.

The Marquis Balgoa's son shrieked.

"Uncle, Aunt! Th-this is bad!"

"What have you done, Rio!?"

That was the last conversation I heard before the overwhelming pain made me lose consciousness.
