A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 113

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The wedding ceremony began, and Selesina and Lucaria entered side by side.

They slowly walked to the giant tree and will exchange wedding vows under it. Then they’ll be officially husband and wife.

As Selesina walked nervously, Lucaria, walking next to her, whispered, “Don’t worry,” and smiled.

“Take your time. You’ll feel better if you think that we’re the only ones here now.”

“Well,……. is that Lord Lucaria’s spell for not being nervous?”

“Uhmm, I guess so. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I’m still a young man……. I’m nervous in many situations!”

Especially in a place like this.

I’m nervous, and I might make a mistake. It was a follow-up from Lucaria to make sure that Selesina would not be overwhelmed.

Once we were safely under the big tree, the wedding ceremony began.

The wedding itself was not so different from the one in Japan, since it was originally an ‘otome’ game.

The ceremony was led by the priest of blessing.

“Lucaria Asgarus. Do you swear to support and love each other, both in good health and in the death of the Great Tree?”

“I do.”

I heard Lucaria’s clear voice and gasped that it was my turn now.

(Are we really going to…… get married?)

While the blessing priest spun the words of the vows, the words of…… the goddess Norn and Hisui came to Selesina’s mind.

I wonder if this is really the right thing to do.

Ever since I was reincarnated as a villainous daughter in this ‘otome’ game world, I’ve been trying my best not to die. Wanting to live is not something that can be stopped.

– But if you can’t live the way you want to, isn’t that the same as being dead?

That’s what I thought about.

“Goddess Norn, Hisui……and…… Master Soratek.”

“……Lady Selesina?”

As Selesina muttered, Lucaria looked at her with concern.

“I’m sorry, Lord Lucaria. I still can’t marry you.”

I’ve said it.

When he heard Selesina’s words, he widened his eyes, but at that moment – it happened.

“Ugh!”

“Hel!”

Hearing a pained groan, Selesina and Lucaria turned around and immediately called out Hel’s name, who was struggling to breathe.

What’s wrong with him? He didn’t seem ill at all until a few minutes ago. Selesina became impatient and looked at Lucaria. He might be able to understand Hel’s condition.

– Lucaria’s face was contorted in pain.

Selesina was impatient with Lucaria, who didn’t seem to be rushing over.

(Maybe, it’s my fault, right? Aaaaah, I’m so sorry!)

– When Selesina was about to say that they should go to Hel together, Lucaria hugged Selesina with a tearful expression on his face.

Then he made a fading, almost crying sound in her ear that only Selesina could hear.

“Dear Selesina, please take care of…… Hel.” 

“What?”

Selesina’s thoughts stopped for a moment as she couldn’t understand the meaning of Lucaria’s words. But there was no time to think about that now.

Selesina just nodded and ran over to Hel.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Mr. Hel!”

“”Ha, ha……ugh, Se……lesina……”

A blessing sign glowed on Hel’s neck, as he continued to breathe shallowly. It seems that this suffering is related to the blessing.

(But blessings are not meant to lend strength and protection…)

As I thought about this, I remembered that the power of Hel’s blessing is to “wither” the target. If I were to ask if it was a protective blessing, I would be at a loss for words.

(Is the power of the blessing about to go out of control? I don’t know……!)

“Master Hel, please be strong! Can you control the power of the protection?!”

“Ha, ha, I can’t. I can’t do that. There are too many…… people who have the power of divine protection.”

“…Could it be that you’re influenced by the blessings of others?”

So maybe being shy was Hel’s way of defending himself, Selesina thought.

Anyway, I had to do something, and when I thought about it,…… something hot rose in my chest. Selesina’s left eye started to glow baby pink, and the goddess Norn appeared behind her.

“You can do it if you just try.”

“Goddess Norn?”

“I told you to be honest and live your life as you wish. If something happens to you, I’ll help you.”

The goddess Norn said only that, smiled, and disappeared. And at the same time, a choice appeared in front of Selesina.

▽ Which option will you choose?

Remove the curse of the villainess from Selesina and set her free.

Remove the spell of the last boss from Hel and protect the great trees of the world.

What a disgusting choice.

(But I feel like I can use the power of the goddess Norn right now……)

Selesina took a deep breath, regained control of her breathing, and then made her choice. She knows which one she’s going to choose.

Remove the curse of the villainess from Selesina and set her free.

▼ Break the spell of the last boss from Hel and protect the great trees of the world.

“The “destiny” that will free Hel from the spell of the Last Boss!”

When Tselisina shouted this, Hel was enveloped in light.

The painful breathing was gone, and his face became peaceful. In addition, the blessing mark on Hel’s neck also disappeared.

I was relieved to know that the cause of his discomfort had been removed.

However, there was still work to be done.

“Norn, Goddess of Fate! Let me choose my own fate! You said you’re the strongest, so you can do this!”

Selesina barked, and the goddess Norn giggled. In the next moment, two choices for Selesina’s fate were displayed in front of her.

▽ Which option will you choose?

Remove the curse of the villainess from Selesina and set her free.

Selesina fulfills her role as a villainess and lets the scenario take its course.

You don’t even have to worry about this.

▼ Remove the curse of the villainess from Tselisina and set her free.

Selesina fulfills the role of the villainess and lets the scenario play itself out.

“My future is mine to decide and walk into! I’ve decided not to care about the game’s scenario anymore! I’m free to make my own ‘destiny’……!”

Then the whole area was enveloped in an unprecedented amount of light.

I looked around and saw that the attendees seemed to be asleep. Even Lucaria, who was in front of the big tree. I guess this is also the power of the goddess Norn.

“This is the release from the game……”

In other words, your life will no longer be affected by the ending.

I’ve never seen such a miracle in all my life…… Large tears fell from Selesina’s eyes.

“Thank you, Goddess Norn.”

“From now on, I’ll make my own decisions about my life and walk forward.” When she thought of this, a smile naturally appeared on her face, even though it was filled with tears.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
