After hearing how she had lost everything and completely changed after being betrayed by her friends and family, Jasmine now felt that Queena was more pitiful than anything.
“…That’s not important. Regardless, know that I won’t stop until I get my hands on him, and I will get what I want!” declared Queena as she clenched her fists tightly.
“…But… What does all this have to do with Gerald…?” asked Jasmine rather curiously.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I explained everything to you… Do know that I’m only telling you a summarized version of this story. After all, I’m well aware that you’re a smart girl! I’m not going to tell you everything in detail just so you can find my weaknesses!” sneered Queena.
“…Are you always this defensive with everyone around you…? Were you like this with him as well…?” asked Jasmine.
“Indeed, I was! It… It was the reason why he began distancing himself from me in the first place! However, I’m going to win this time… And I’m winning everything!” replied Queena as she took in a deep breath.
As a frigid expression formed on her face, one of the maids suddenly walked over before saying, “Pardon me, miss Queena…”
“What is it?”
“Young Master Gerald wishes to see you!” replied the maid.
“Regardless, I have a hunch of who you actually are. I’m not quite sure what your relationship with the woman in white is, nor do I know what misunderstandings you have with Zeus. However, I do know that while I may look exactly like him, I’m not the person you think I am, which is why I’ll never fall for the woman in white! There’s only one person I truly love, and with that in mind, I hope you come to realize that there’s no room for you to negotiate!” added Gerald as he looked straight into her eyes.
Through his analysis on the writing that he had found back on Montholm Island, Gerald recalled there being someone that looked similar to the woman in white, yet wasn’t really her. The doppelganger was the one in charge of heartlessly killing the eight people on that island back then.
Gerald also suspected that the one who had saved him that night was this woman. With her standing before him right now, all his theories simply seemed to point to her.
Queena herself had a look of disbelief on her face, clearly angered by Gerald’s claim as she growled, “Are… Are you trying to fool me…?”
