Chapter Title: The Long-Awaited Kiss
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Camellia...?"
Mother's gaze upon me was different from usual.
A gaze tinged with a hint of fear.
Does she hate me? I like it, though.
"What is this right now..."
"It's fine. There's no problem at all. Between me and Mother."
"What are you saying? Why did you suddenly tie me up..."
"Hehe... I had no choice, did I?"
I had no choice. It wasn't my fault; it was Mother's... Rozalin's fault.
Yeah. Honestly, holding back until now has been a bit hard.
Every time I caught that unique rose-like scent of her body from right beside me, it was torture. Rozalin herself probably has no clue.
"It's Mother's fault."
"Camellia...? Why are you so close..."
I lean in even closer to Mother's face. Very close.
Our faces now squarely facing each other, our eyes lock.
Eyes that seem a little afraid of me. A touch... regretful, but still so beautiful.
"I love you, Mother."
She was truly... so breathtakingly beautiful. That black hair I'd watched since childhood—every time I saw it, I ached to touch it.
I'd touched Mother's lovely hair like this before.
And those signature green eyes of hers seemed all the prettier next to my red ones.
They didn't look like mother and daughter at all. Black hair and green eyes against golden hair and red... But none of that mattered much anymore. Not like it used to.
After all, Rozalin had long stopped being just "Mother" to me. She was something else entirely.
"What do you..."
Her fearful gaze shifted ever so slightly to one of utter bewilderment.
And so, I finally acted on the desires I'd bottled up for ten long years. Really... she's too pretty.
"*Mmwah...*"
Straight to the Mother I'd bound.
To the Mother I love.
To my Rozalin—I pressed my lips to hers in a kiss.
"Hmmph...?!"
Truly... I can't even say how long I'd waited for this moment. At least ten years. No... maybe even longer.
But what mattered now... was that I could finally make Rozalin mine.
