Heroine of the Broken Engagement-Chapter 35: I woke up
Chapter 35: I woke up
โฆ I hear voices from somewhere.
Someone is quarreling with another, it seems.
โโฆ Oswald Ricks! Are you not listening to what I say!?โ ๐๐ซ๐e๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฐ๐ท๐๐.co๐
โโฆ Iโm telling you that the deal wonโt come through if you turn her into damaged goods beforehand.โ
โฆ Whoa, they are saying something dangerous.
Rather, who is โherโ? Me? Thatโs me, isnโt it? Just look at the situation.
โฆ I have not opened my eyes yet though.
โฆ Still, one of those people talking did say โOswaldโ, did he not?
It appears that Oswald is talking with someone I do not know.
โฆ Just what is it about?
I donโt have any memories after Oswald made me drink the drug.
I have been most likely sleeping until now.
It seems that I was laying down on a flat place, but itโs hard on top of being extremely cold, like a stone or concrete.
โฆ Because I was sleeping on the floor, my body is hurting a lot.
I will press charges later, alright?
โฆ Rather, Iโd like to grasp the situation, so I should be opening my eyes soon though.
โI want to clear up my twenty-year-old resentment thoughโฆ!โ
โฆ? twenty-year-old resentment?
Thatโs quite a long resentment you have there.
This person that is talking with Oswald apparently has extremely obstinate character.
โโฆ Thatโs why I am telling you to endure for a little longer.โ
Oswaldโs voice was extremely cold unlike his cheery voice at the school.
A coldness exceeded even Rishell. Far from absolute zero.
โโฆ Are you all right not being able to take revenge just because of violating this girl?โ
โโฆ Ku! You better remember this, you brat!โ
The person Oswald was talking left thanks to his sound argumentโฆ no, I donโt know what kind of sound argument was that, but he left the room while roughly breathing out.
Bang! the door closed.
โโฆ Haah, the head of the Arsale House is a troublesome one.โ
So said Oswald, but I have no knowledge of someone with such family name.
Otousama and Okaasama seem to associate with many nobles, but itโs not like I uncover everyoneโฆ
While thinking such, going in circles, Oswald approached.
Not good, not good! I donโt what he will do to me if he realizes that I am not asleep anymore!
I closed my eyes hard, and pretended to breathe calmly.
โฆ But, it was useless.
โโฆ Olga, you are awake, arenโt you?โ
โฆ To think he would utter such manga-ish line in a real life.
Moreover, it wasnโt passionate, but hard-boiled.
โฆ I opened my eyes while thinking about something incomprehensible.
When I opened my eyes, Oswald stood before me wearing the same clothes, making the same expression, wearing the same shoes.
Even though everythingโs supposed to be the same, I felt that he was different in some way.
โโฆ When did you notice?โ
โSince that pig snapped because he couldnโt violate you.โ
No, you noticed from the moment I woke up? What is this fellow?
Is he perhaps an assassin too?
โฆ Was my breathing the problem?
That would be gross if he noticed from that though.
While thinking something extremely rude, I looked into Oswaldโs eyes.
โโฆ What do you want from me?โ
This is what I donโt understand the most.
I did not know Oswald at all until I got to know him through Lance.
I donโt remember the names of all my classmates, so people from the other classesโฆ eh, letโs leave that aside.
The problem is that I had unconditionally believed Oswald.
Although sweet words would absolutely never work on me.
Itโs probably because I have seen him as Lanceโs friend.
โฆ I trusted him too much.
Even though I would have never gone if I knew this would happenโฆ
Well, I canโt see the future, so it cannot be helped.
Iโm not like a certain futuristic robot after all.
โฆ I have not seen my future since coming to this worldโฆ I hope it wonโt end here though.
Leaving the beloved robot aside, I seem to be valuable to Oswald for some reason.
He might be trying to get my family involved too.
โโฆ I detest your little brother.โ
โโฆ Why?โ
Celsior is not a child that would make others want to kidnap people.
We have been a family (although a fake one) for a long time, so I know that much.
โฆ It would be different if he was wearing a mask like Rishell, but Celsiorโs thoughts easily project on his face.
โโฆ What? Has he taken your woman? Even though he told me that he never went on a date before.โ
โThatโs not it!? โฆ Seems like you are composed enough to joke around.โ
Wrong. This is only to regain my usual, calm way of speaking.
The truth is, Iโm scared. I donโt know when I am going to die or how will I die.
Taking a philosophic view that dying anytime is all right might be good, but thatโs not possible for me.
Arenโt I here because I cut ties with my family and friends to survive?
