Chapter 302: What Are You Doing?

After Lorelei entered the house, Sakura naturally went into the kitchen to brew some tea.

The Matou family had servants, so it was generally unnecessary for the young lady to personally make tea for guests. However, since they were going to discuss matters related to magecraft today, Byakuya had sent all the servants away in advance, and Sakura once again took on the role of the hostess.

By the way, it was now three o'clock in the afternoon. The true mistress of the house, Elsa, was still at the company handling business affairs, and Byakuya had returned specially after receiving a notification from Kariya to entertain the guest.

Through their conversation on the way, Sakura had developed a good impression of Lorelei and sincerely wanted to treat her well. Unexpectedly, just as she finished brewing the tea, she heard the news that her brother was missing and possibly already dead.

It was out of the blue.

All along, her brother, Shinji, had been her strongest mental support, holding up the sky for her. Now, the pillar had fallen, and the sky had collapsed along with it, even taking with it the windows of her soul—those beautiful purple eyes had turned dull and chaotic, a look she hadn't even shown when Tokiomi passed away.

The camphorwood tea tray fell to the ground, and the ceramic teapot and teacups shattered into pieces, amber tea spilling everywhere. Sakura, however, seemed oblivious, staring blankly at Lorelei, making the latter feel extremely uneasy.

"No, it's impossible. Brother, brother, how could Brother—impossible, impossible, impossible..."

Sakura kept repeating "impossible," as if trying to hypnotize herself into forgetting the cold reality. She lost and forlorn expression was heart-wrenching.

"Is... is this true?"

As an adult, Byakuya naturally had a stronger mental fortitude than Sakura. However, his pale face and clenched jaw indicated that his inner turmoil was far from calm.

"Yes. During this period, I have asked several magus proficient in divination, but none have been able to find any information about Shinji, not a single trace."

Lorelei forced herself to be resolute, nodding firmly. No matter how much it pained her, she had to continue. The longer such matters were dragged out, the greater the harm they would cause.

It was precisely this statement that shattered the last bit of clarity in Sakura's eyes. She leaned against the wall and hysterically screamed, completely losing her usual lady-like demeanor.

"Impossible! You're lying to me, you must be lying to me, Brother can't be in trouble, you must be lying to me!"

"Brother... sob... Brother... sob..."

"Sakura..."

At this moment, Sakura was like a curled-up hedgehog, rejecting everything around her with all her might.

"If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have had an accident! It's your fault, all your fault!"

"Sakura... Miss Lorelei, she..."

Kariya tried to persuade her, but Sakura seemed not to hear. She lunged forward, forcefully pushing Lorelei.

"Leave, our family doesn't welcome you! Go, go, I don't want to see you!"

"Sakura-chan, I—"

"Don't call me Sakura-chan, only my brother can call me that! I don't allow you to call me that! Leave now!"

Sakura pushed harder, and Lorelei, unable and unwilling to resist, was pushed back continuously until she reached the door.

Knowing she couldn't stay any longer, Lorelei handed Byakuya a card with a phone number and said, "This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can reach out. I still have some influence in the Clock Tower, and I'll do my best to help."

"We don't need anything from you!"

Sakura grabbed the card, tore it into pieces, and then forcefully opened the door, crying and pushing Lorelei.

"Leave, go now, don't let me see you again, sob sob sob—go..."

"Alright, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

Lorelei didn't dare to provoke Sakura further and let herself be pushed out of the entrance and out the door.

It seems I'll have to ask Waver Velvet to come, she thought.

Just then, she heard a voice.

"Huh? Sakura-chan, Lorelei, what are you doing?"
