Taking the lead over the other nations, and even coming out on top when the winds shifted later on, perhaps it wasn't impossible!
But what about now?
It was over...
It was all over...
Furina wailed inwardly.
She was just like Furina!
She had developed some unusual feelings for Little Griseo.
But ask yourself honestly.
For an existence as lofty, perfect, sacred, adorable, and gentle as Little Griseo, who wouldn't like her?
But liking someone was one thing.
Whether you could confess, and whether you would be accepted... were two entirely different things, weren't they?
Could those even be compared?
If Little Griseo had just laughed it off and not taken it seriously, then so be it.
But look at her now...
Did she look like she wasn't taking it seriously?!
This was bad.
She was taking it seriously!
The more seriously Little Griseo took it, the more flustered Furina and Furina became. Who knew whether they regretted it or were feeling something else.
Perhaps it wasn't regret after all?!
It was simply...
This shouldn't have happened!
It was like being a minister whom the queen admired and indulged, only to suddenly tell her, "Your Majesty, you smell so good..."
Just see whether the queen would beat you to death.
That was absolutely grounds for decapitation, wasn't it?!
Fortunately, back then on Celestia, Furina hadn't confessed to Little Griseo like this.
If she had said something like that in front of Lady Heavenly Principles and all her colleagues... she probably wouldn't even have needed to say anything else. She could simply have taken her own life to atone for her crime.
Though, strictly speaking...
Furina was somewhat steadier than Furina. There hadn't been anything like love at first sight at the time, so naturally, nothing like that had actually happened
