My Heart only Beats for You

However, hearing Yuna say it consoled Peter. It gave him a glimmer of hope, and that was why he'd come all the way to Glevania to find out the truth. When it came out of Natalie's mouth instead, it felt like an insult.

An insult.

She had killed Tobias, but still came here to say that Tobias was not dead, and that she had to wait for him!

Flames of rage burned in Peter's eyes.

He could no longer control himself. He picked up his teacup and threw it at Natalie.

Natalie did not dodge.

She stood there, her back straight, and did not move at all.

The teacup hit her right on the head, and the scorching tea inside immediately flowed down Natalie's face and towards her chest.

It then landed on the floor.

It clattered.

Natalie's face was red and swollen as well. The tea flowed down to her chest.

It was as if Natalie's chest had been scorched. It burned so much that it made her uncomfortable.

It hurt her on the outside, but she suddenly felt relieved.

Because her heart hurt much more. The pain from her skin relieved a little of her inner pain.

"Natalie, are you all right?" Selina asked in a hurry.

She used a tissue to wipe the tea off of Natalie. "Why didn't you dodge it?"
