Saffron PoV
I opened my eyes as I sensed cursed energy. To my surprise, it was coming out of Opus.
Yukito was trying to grab the plushie, but Anis kept moving in her sleep.
"Anis," I said, grabbing her plushie.
She cooed, snuggling it.
I gently, but firmly, pulled Opus from Anis's grasp, careful not to wake her.
Anis pouted and grabbed it. If I were to destroy it, would she throw a tantrum? Anis could lose control of her power if I did. Plus, I didn't want to see my little princess sad. But I had to stop the curse. Although, it should've triggered by now. It was as if something were holding it back.
I blinked as I stared down at Anis as she smiled gently. Wait, was Anis holding it back? But how? I didn't sense any mana flowing out of her body. Or any curse warding.
Was it her love for it? If so, maybe taking it from her was the real risk after all.
I looked up at Tasuku and shook my head.
He frowned. "But, it's gonna activate! We can't just leave it with her, Saffron."
