A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 106

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

A long time after I stopped seeing Soratek, I received an invitation.

It was an invitation for a tea party to take a rest, which I had promised before. By then, I was working too hard, so I decided to have a tea party to take a break.

(I haven’t seen him since we broke up our engagement……)

However, I wouldn’t be able to turn down an invitation from Soratek. We made a promise, and it would be better if we could stay connected.

“……Hisui, can I ask you to prepare for my reply?”

“Yes.”

I felt overwhelmed, but wrote a letter of approval and sent it out.

***

The days before the tea party with Soratek had been hectic, with meetings for the wedding with Lucaria.

I had a lot of things to do, such as preparing the dress, making a list of invited guests and so on.

Since the wedding will be held at the Great Temple, it seemed that the Temple was even busier with preparations than Selesina and the others.

They have to prepare for the guests’ accommodations and food, which are different preparations from the blessing ceremony.

“Huh….. Where has my life in Selin Village gone?”

As if she had run out of energy, Selesina collapsed onto her bed and took a rest.

However, today I am going to have a tea party with Soratek, so I am sure my spirit will be drained.

But I have to go…….

“I don’t know what I am supposed to look like when I meet him…….”

I’ve been thinking about inviting Queen Lilin to the tea party before we go to the Great Temple. She was thinking of having many tea parties with Soratek as well and spending many happy days with him.

Well, until one day you are forced to break up your engagement……that’s what you think.

When I arrived at the king’s castle, I was greeted by Soratek.

“Sele!”

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Soratek.”

Smiling as smugly as possible, Selesina was escorted by Soratek. The place for today’s tea party is the garden.

(Okay, we’re not engaged anymore, so it’s not a good idea to be in his room…..)

Thinking of this, the reality of the situation suddenly hit Selesina. Her heart made an unpleasant noise and she couldn’t look directly in Soratek’s face anymore.

She had always thought that her engagement would be broken up, but now that it had happened, she was so fragile.

Sweat trickles down my back, and my legs feel heavy as lead. I told my legs to walk, to keep going, and somehow I managed to move them.

Somehow, I manage to walk to the garden and sit down on a chair, when I feel the gaze of Soratek across from me. Well, that’s it. Except for the initial greeting, Selesina hadn’t seen Soratek’s face.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

(What should I do? I have to look up…….)

I was afraid to look into Soratek’s face.

I can’t help but laugh at the heaviness that has settled over me. The real me was such a sneaky bastard.

(Always relying on Soratek……, in the end, my first thought was that I did not want to die.)

As a human being, that decision was not wrong, but as the wife of the crown prince – the future king – I’m sure it was the wrong decision.

(If I had more courage…. could I have changed the ending of the game?)

How many times did I think that Melia would not be able to be the queen?

This world is a game, but it’s not like the games where you just have to fall in love with the character you’re playing. Even after the story, life goes on.

“Sele!”

“…….!”

In the middle of my thoughts, my name was called, and I unconsciously looked up.

“Ah….”

I was going to turn over immediately, but Soratek’s – kind of blown away – smile was pointing at me.

“Finally, you look at me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry about that……”

“I’m not looking for an apology. I’m just saying that Selesina made the right decision.”

So there’s no need to blame myself or feel guilty about Soratek at all.

“But….. I made my decision without consulting anyone.”

“That’s fine. Sele has been educated to be my queen. She chose the future of…… this country over her own, didn’t she?”

“What?”

Soratek’s words brought tears to Selesina’s eyes.

Why does he have such kind words for me? It is true that if I look at the results, I have dealt with a large non-blooming tree that will cause damage to the country if left unattended.

But.

(It was because I wasn’t careful enough.)

If only I had managed the black blossoms better, if only I hadn’t forgotten….., that’s all I could think about when I was distracted.

It was all her fault, but instead of blaming Selesina, Soratek said that she was doing a great job…….

Selesina struggled to stop the tears and somehow managed to keep them from flowing. She told herself that she should not be the kind of woman who cries here.

“Lord Soratek. I was happy to be the fiancée of Lord Soratek. I hope for the peace of Alvarado for many years to come.”

“Ah. Thank you Sele for choosing me and this country.”

Soratek smiled with his usual gentle smile, and Selesina smiled back.

It was the first time in her life that she had such a painful smile.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
