The Crown Prince and Tanuki also heard what Nina Rook said and were initially worried. But when they saw Flora Bloom's firm, unconcerned gaze, they had to ask.
"Flora, you don't believe what Nina Rook said?"
"Of course I do."
"What? No, that's not it, Flora! Our boss never thought about taking that Divine-level internal space from you! We're not lying to you!"
"Relax, I'm not that stupid." Flora Bloom watched as the light drained from Nina Rook's face, her own conviction growing stronger. "Competing for the Divine-level internal space… that was your goal for coming here, wasn't it?"
Nina Rook dropped her pretense. "And what if it was? So what if he's with you because he likes you? It won't be long before he has to leave, and once he's gone, he can never come back.
I'd love to see how you natives will manage on your own when Brother Lex is gone. Hahahaha!"
"'Leave?'" Flora Bloom glanced at Nina Rook, but after her wild laughter, Nina simply closed her eyes and refused to speak.
