[KIYOMI]
At that moment, Sakura Watanabe wasn't sure if she was getting a command she needed to follow if she needed to prepare herself for the worst. Her whole life has been a battlefield and no one had ever been nice to her without wanting something in return.
She had hoped Kiyomi was different, and she had been desperately holding onto it, though right now, she wasn't sure anymore.
She was, however, curious to see where this would lead, even though she had set her guard higher than any of the times she had been on the battlefield or run around Kiyomi.
She had a feeling that the woman in front of her could be her bane thanks to the mate bond, and she refused to let that be the weapon that Kiyomi Kimura used against her.
"You want me to do… that… you'll have to strip me yourself," Sakura said, her voice on the edge, and Kiyomi had noticed that, along with how her erasthai of a queen had gotten stiff like she was readying herself for the worst.
