Coronation

Although Zero saw Tressa's hesitation, he didn't ask but waited for her to say something.

She seemed to be struggling to find the words, but finally said, "It's not that I don't like Edward but…well..."

She sighed.

"But?" prompted Twain, feeling like this was very strange of Tressa.

"Well," Tressa started again, then bit her lower lip before pressing them together and said, "Nothing."

Zero and Twain looked at each other, then at Tressa who was fidgeting slightly, as she leaned back on the chair and not looking at them - but one could see the slight blush on her face. 

"I'm happy for Hana, really," Tressa said quickly when she saw them staring at her. She tried to put on a nonchalant expression, with her eyes wide open and innocent though her slightly red face betrayed her inner thoughts.

Zero stared at her then said rather ruthlessly,  "Akira only sees you as a younger sister."
