Chapter 4 - Nerium oleander 3

---

**Under the shade of a grand parasol stood a large table, adorned with sweets and delicate tea cups. The breeze danced softly through the air as a beautiful lady in a flowing white dress, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and her piercing blue eyes, sipped her tea with a gentle smile. She hummed quietly, eyes fixed on the little girl—or rather, her prey—who was sipping her tea, unaware that her final moments were slipping away, poisoned.**

**PFFFFFT** *(the sound of blood escaping the child's mouth)*

**Rose:** "Oh ho ho ho… What a dreadful sight!"

*The small girl toppled from her chair, collapsing to the ground as thick, blackened blood trickled from her lips. Rose looked down, laughing cruelly at the child's helpless gaze.*

*Suddenly, the girl awoke, her eyes darting around.*

**Girl:** "Huh…? Where am I?"

*She looked around, as if trapped in a dream. The world was white, the ground blanketed in beautiful flowers, and the walls veiled in soft, semi-transparent pink petals. At the center stood a large table with two chairs—like a house of blossoms.*

**Girl:** "It's… beautiful…"

**Louis:** "Isn't it? Oh! Forgive me—I hope I didn't startle you. What's your name?"

**Girl:** "Eva… Where are we?"

**Louis:** "Hmm… You mean, *where are you*? You're inside me."

**Louis:** "Do you remember the petal you drank? It was a part of me."

**Louis:** "Once you sipped it, I was able to create a link—a thread—between you and me. In other words, I became a part of you"

**Eva:** "Umm… I don't understand…"

**Louis:** "Ugh, what was I expecting… Anyway, you've been poisoned. You're on the verge of death."

**Eva:** "So… this is the end? Finally…"

**Louis:** "Sorry, but it's not the end. It's the beginning. Little one, I can heal your body… but I don't want to force you into life. So—do you want to live again… or shall I take your body instead?"

**Eva:** "I… I don't know… *sob*"

**Louis:** "Ugh… Calm down, calm down… Take your time here. Rest."
