Heroine of the Broken Engagement-Chapter 50: Emergency
Chapter 50: Emergency
โโฆ Well, it will work out somehow, the two of us should watch over them.โ ฦ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฆ๐๐ทo๐e๐ญ.c๐จ๐ข
โโฆ Yeah.โ
We certainly cannot do anything at the present time.
It would only cause Eliza and Dante troubles.
โฆ I wish Eliza happiness, but her happiness is not something I can or should decide on. ๐๐ซ๐e๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฐ๐ท๐๐.co๐
โโฆ First of all, Olga. Donโt do something unnecessary, all right?โ
โRude.โ
Why canโt my friends trust me at all?
Eliza told me the same thing.
โโฆ I hope it turns out well.โ
I rubbed my glabella and sighed.
โฆ And then, something extreme happened the day after our conversation.
โโโโโฆ Engagement!?โโโโ
โฆ Our cries echoed in the classroom after school.
Eliza told us that she has something important to tell us, so she had Lance, Rishell, Dante, and I remain in the classroom.
โฆ And she told us this. Eliza has an engagement.
โโฆ Yes, itโs not decided yet though. However, it will most likely happen unless there is a better partner.โ
Itโs not Dante?
โฆ Even though she said she liked him the last time.
โฆ The very Dante who was next to me froze in place with a pale face.
Too easy to understand.
How did I not notice before, I wonderโฆ
โW, who is it!?โ
Lance vigorously leaned forward.
โฆ Rishell noticed too, so Lance might have noticed that Dante likes Eliza too.
โโฆ The second son of Duke Ragveilโฆ what was his name again? Michael, I think.โ
โโฆ Isnโt he older than you?โ
Nobody except us is in the classroom right now, so Rishell exhibited his memory and information.
As expected of the Prince, it looks like he remembers the names and ages of every noble.
โYes, heโs five years older than me.โ
โฆ Well, this age difference is not rare among nobles.
Couples that are 10-15 years apart are everywhere.
Scary.
โโฆ W, why did you think to get engaged with such person?โ
The one who asked Eliza was the gasping Dante whose HP neared 0.
โฆ Someone, cast a recovery magic on him. It looks like he will die anytime soon.
โโฆ My parents wanted to form ties with influential nobles. Therefore, they selected the most influential one among the proposals.โ
Eliza muttered quietly.
โฆ She looked very sad, it made my heart tighten.
โโฆ The person I like doesnโt seem to have interest in me anyway.โ
You are going to say that now-!?
โฆ This was my and Rishellโs inner voice.
No, this kind of remark is the worst for this timing, no?
This will birth misunderstanding, wonโt it?
Moreover, you said you donโt want to let others know yourself!
Look, just take a look, a soul is escaping from Danteโs mouth, see!?
Far from recovery magic, he needs a resuscitation!
โโฆ P, person you likeโฆ?โ
Dante looked so wilted he might get himself carried away by the wind.
โฆ He received quite a shock, it seems.
โโฆ Yes, my wish wonโt come true, so I thought it didnโt matter whether I say it or not.โ
Please donโt say more than that, okay?
Dante is about to get shattered into pieces and scattered by the wind.
โฆ Lance, Rishell! Stop being dumbfounded and do something!
For Danteโs sake too!
โโฆ W, who is that?โ
โI wonโt tell, I canโt now that I will get engaged.โ
A sound argument. No, it is a sound argument, but.
Just say it here! If you could say it here, you would confirm that you like each other!
However, Eliza had no intentions of saying it as a bright smile floated on her face.
โโฆ I am sorry for having you listen to my engagement talks while you are busy. Then, I will be returning now. I am meeting Michael-sama was itโฆ todayโฆ I have to, donโt Iโฆ?โ
โAh, wha!? Eliza!โ
Did you think I would mishear you if you whispered-!?
At least remember the name of your fiancรฉ candidate!
Eliza feeling somewhat unpleasant briskly left towards the door of the classroom and threw them open, throwing a last glance at the absentminded Dante and quickly running away.
โฆ Letโs pretend I didnโt see the door deviate from the rail.
This is not the time for this.
โโฆโ
โโฆ Oy~? Dante?โ
When I tried calling out to Dante who has blanked out since a while ago, there was no reaction.
He didnโt move even when I waved my hand in front of his eyes.
โฆ This is a serious illness. Should we call a doctor?
โโฆ Oy, Dante! Eliza has left, you know!?โ
โโฆ Wha!? Eliza!?โ
The moment Dante heard Lanceโs voice, he shouted out all of sudden and got dejected.
โโฆ Ah, she left already, huh.โ
โLance already said that, alright?โ
He probably reacted to Elizaโs name.
โฆ No, how convenient his hearing is?
โโฆ I see.โ
Dante let out a dispirited laugh and turned away from us with a sigh.
