Heroine of the Broken Engagement-Chapter 7: Storm of objections
Chapter 7: Storm of objections
ใW, whatโs the matter, you threeโฆ?ใ
When I asked the three with a slight scare, Rishell cleared his throat and spoke.
ใYou are precious to us, you knowโฆ therefore, we would like to keep you within the reach of our eyesใ ๐ณ๐ง๐๐w๐ฒ๐n๐๐ซ๐๐ญ.๐om
ใNo, am I a child or something?ใ
Those are thoughts of a mother watching over their child, right? I am already seventeen, you know?
What I fear the most is not being able to fall in love with themโฆ in other words, death.
It would be fine if I just memorized the correct choices, but even though I remember the characters and the story perfectly, I have no memory of the correct choices for some reason.
I thought that since Iโm afraid of dying, I will just have to avoid the game altogetherโฆ
ใโฆโฆใ
They are staring at me with extremely vigorous gazes.
Their eyes are saying: โI wonโt let you run awayโฆ!โ
Itโs already on the level of insanity thoughโฆ
If I remember correctly, one year after my graduation from the academy in the death route, the Capital was flooded with heavy rain, the area was assaulted with landslides, and many drowned in the chaos.
โฆ Disasters have a limit too.
โฆ And so, I thought.
Wouldnโt it be bad if I continued living hereโฆ in the Capital City Lilykelm until the gameโs end?
What if a bug occurs when the Heroine who was supposed to be dead lives after the game ends?
โฆ I have no idea what settings the game company set. However, itโs far better than staying here.
In other words, this is not the place where I should be.
Equally, slow life!
A perfect schema.
Although it might be good just to leave for a trip, I am convinced that retiring in the countryside would be better.
ใE, Elder sister? Are you all right?ใ
ใWau!? Itโs nothing!ใ
Not good, I ended up in deep thoughts carelessly.
ใAnyhow, I wonโt allow you to live in the countryside by any means!ใ
ใWhy not, donโt be unreasonable!ใ
No, I thought about it too, you know?
That if I lived in the countryside, the damage may reach there too, or that it would be pointless for me to move to the countryside.
Still, I thought itโs better than doing nothing. Rather, not falling in love with them.
Even if you tell me to put effort into it, donโt be too surprised, but even in my past life, I didnโt have a boyfriend at my age!
I donโt understand manโs heart after all.
ใIsnโt country life fine~ I want to live a life of leisure~ใ
ใEven if you donโt do that, you could live a life of leisure if you married me, you know?ใ
ใHaah? What a funny joke~ใ
No, thereโs no no no way I could become your bride.
I mean this guy, heโs the future King, you know?
Equally, if I marry him, I would become the Queen, you know?
In the game, Olga handled it magnificently, butโฆ my nature and specs are totally different.
I would never be able to do it, he must be surely jesting.
ใโฆ Haahใ
ใYou donโt have to sigh so directlyใ
Because I immediately saw through his joke, Rishellโs face turned gloomy.
ใโฆ Well, letโs leave the talk for the next time. The party is going to end soon, so may we return home already?ใ
Celsior said.
Celsior learned how to read the mood.
Oneechan is happy.
ใYeah, Iโm so tired I want to return and sleepใ
Too many things happened in one day, I am already tired out.
If you told me to, I would fall asleep standing up. I wonโt do it though.
ใโฆ Indeed, letโs talk again another dayใ
โฆ Umm~ Rishell-san yo.
Do you mean to talk about my slow lifeโฆ?
How attached are you all to meโฆ?
With such question in my head, I returned home on the shaky carriage.
ใI am homeโฆ wha, uwaa!?ใ
ใWelcome home, Olga-sama! Are you all right!? Were you not assaulted!?ใ
โฆ Why is everyone asking the same thing, I am fine, alright?
The one who jumped at me the moment I entered the entrance hall was my maid Aira.
Sheโs a lovely girl with caramel-colored hair and eyes of the same color.
Sheโs a year younger than me, sixteen.
ใIโm homeโฆ Iโm fine, Rishell struck back to help meใ
Let me say it again, because my family and servants know that Iโm in the same class as Rishell, they wonโt say anything even when I call him without honorifics.
โฆ It would be considered lese majeste by all means, but the person himself told me to call him like that. When he shows his true character though.
ใIs that so!? Iโm glad to hear that!ใ
Aira opened her sparkly, big and beautiful eyes and smiled.
โฆ Cute. Super cute.
Aira who is like my little sister has grasped the hold of my heart the day she arrived at our house.
โฆ Geez, I can never take my eyes off of her!
Continuously moving, having sparkles in my eyes, those are feats unachievable by meโฆ
ใโฆ Elder sister, please calm down. Right now, your face totally looks like that of a pervertใ
Thatโs rude, Celsior.
Saying that to your elder sisterโฆ
Well, itโs the truth so I canโt really talk back.
ใโฆ Umm, Sire and Madam are waiting for you in the parlorใ
The one who said that was a handsome man in his twenties with black rimmed glasses.
Heโs our houseโs steward, the name is Keith Ducelio.
Black hair and black eyes overflowing with intellect, a perfect nose bridge, an impressive hunk.
โฆ Yes, you have guessed it. Heโs one of the capture targets.
ใI understand. Thank youใ
Saying that, I passed by his side and went to the parlor.
