I Was Rejected by the Main Character in a Romantic Fantasy-Chapter 90: A fork in the road

“What?!”

“Shh... Shush...!!”

Helena shouted in disbelief at Sylvia’s words. Sylvia tried to stop her with a pleading expression, and she glared at Sylvia while letting out a small sigh.

“What are you talking about...?”

Fortunately, perhaps because Sylvia’s plea worked, Helena’s voice had lowered somewhat.

Sylvia, letting out a sigh of relief, calmly began to tell Helena the story she had just told her again.

“I’m going to confess to Felix.”

“What about your alliance or whatever...?”

The first condition of the alliance.

Until Felix was completely captured, until they all acknowledged it, no one would confess.

Helena, who wasn’t interested in the alliance but merely curious, had also heard this. Ashillya had strictly advised everyone to follow all the conditions.

To Helena’s valid question, Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and started walking as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Well, Felix likes me, right...? He even confessed before, so I don’t think I need to stick to that condition...”

“Oh... y-yes... that’s right.”

It was true that Felix had confessed to Sylvia, but it was uncertain whether Felix’s feelings had continued until now.

Helena thought this as she looked at Sylvia, but she was smiling brightly as if such things didn’t matter.

It seemed as if she was still confident that Felix liked her.

‘...That can’t be.’

Suddenly, Helena was startled by the sticky feeling rising from within her heart.

She should have already given up her feelings for Felix, so she didn’t know why she was thinking this way.

Hiding such feelings, Helena followed Sylvia’s steps, thinking that she should bless her friend’s happiness.

“...”

Helena, who woke up a bit late on Saturday morning, wiped away the cold sweat trickling down and exhaled.

On a normal weekend, Helena would usually wake up late unless she had a special appointment. Today, however, her dreams had been unsettling, so she woke up earlier than expected.

“Haa...”

Fluttering her clothes, which felt unpleasant due to the cold sweat, Helena let out a deep breath.

Since the academy was closed on weekends, it was common for everyone to spend their time as they pleased. The same was true for Helena.

On a typical weekend, she would have spent time with Felix or mainly worked on assignments, but today was the day Sylvia and Felix were meeting.

Helena’s other friends also said they had things to do today, so Helena had free time on the weekend for once.

“Hmm...”

Helena sat in her dormitory room, blankly staring out the window.

Looking out the window where the morning sun had risen, she could see academy students going out from the morning when outings were possible.

Time flows differently each day.

On weekdays, time that seemed to pass so slowly while attending classes would disappear in an instant on weekends.

Even without that, simply thinking about it, since it was only two days, it was common to move from early morning to use time more efficiently.

‘Sylvia and Felix...’

They probably haven’t met since they said they would meet around lunch.

Helena, who had unknowingly thought this, buried her face between her knees and tried to shake off the thought.

Don’t mind it.

No matter who Felix met or who he had a meeting with, it was no longer relevant to her.

He was now Felix, but not the one that Helena knew. Even thinking this way, she couldn’t hide the inexplicably troubled feelings.

Thinking it was because of her unsettling dreams last night, Helena shook her head slightly and drank the cold water on °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the table.

Even after filling her stomach with cold water, the troubled feelings didn’t disappear. But since nothing would change anyway, Helena composed herself, changed her clothes, and left her dormitory room.

It was to eat breakfast. Although she wasn’t used to eating alone, she couldn’t skip meals.

Helena, who left her dormitory room in the morning, started walking alone through the dormitory corridor, which was twice as quiet as usual.

Feeling inexplicably lonely, Helena shook her head to shake off such emotions and moved her steps.

After eating alone in the cafeteria and even carefully eating dessert alone...

“...Helena!!”

Hearing her name echoing through the quiet corridor, Helena turned around with a puzzled expression, and there stood someone who shouldn’t be there.

Looking at him hurriedly running down the corridor, Helena couldn’t hide her uneasy feelings.

“You need to return to the family immediately.”

And when his mouth opened, her anxiety became reality.

***

Saturday had come.

I still hadn’t sorted out my feelings. I tried to compose my unsettled heart due to the word’ date,’ which I had never seriously thought about in this life.

‘...I guess I should go out first?’

Setting aside my feelings for Sylvia, I had to prepare to go to the meeting place since I had made a promise.

With a small sigh, I dressed up and looked out the window blankly.

Since I was supposed to meet Sylvia at the main gate at twelve o’clock, it was time to start moving.

Usually, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but because she said it was a ‘date,’ I felt inexplicably nervous as I adjusted my clothes and left the dormitory room, calmly settling my heart.

As I left the dormitory building, it felt somehow noisy.

‘...I think there was a time like this before.’

As I moved towards the academy’s main gate, feeling a sense of déjà vu, I blinked slowly and looked around, seeing familiar sights.

I let out a hollow laugh at the sight of cadets blushing while staring blankly somewhere and turned my gaze there.

At the academy’s main gate, I saw Sylvia dressed more carefully than usual, with a faint blush on her cheeks.

Sylvia, waiting for me with her hands neatly folded, wearing a white fabric dress that slightly revealed her collarbone line, accentuated her waist line, and covered about half of her thighs...

A sight so beautiful and lovely that even strangers... no, even acquaintances would think she was gorgeous.

Looking at Sylvia like that, I thought...

‘Hmm, it’s a bit burdensome...’

I already knew Sylvia was beautiful, but seeing her dressed up deliberately made her insanely beautiful, and I couldn’t help but feel burdened by this.

People’s gazes were gathering, and with Sylvia dressed up like that, I felt like I had come out dressed too shabbily.

Feeling embarrassed, I took a step towards Sylvia, but I couldn’t help but blink again at the sight of a familiar carriage visible beyond Sylvia.

‘Is that...?’

Squinting my eyes to look, it was a familiar pattern I knew well.

‘It’s the Degreff family’s carriage?’

Judging by the fact that I hadn’t heard anything particular from Helena, it seemed like something urgent had come up.

“Felix...!!”

As my thoughts reached that point, I was about to move towards the carriage as if possessed by something, but I had to stop.

It was because Sylvia, who had spotted me, called my name and started walking towards me.

At the same time, all the gazes on Sylvia turned to me. Receiving envious and jealous looks, I awkwardly smiled and greeted Sylvia, who was approaching me.

“Hello.”

“Good morning...!”

Even while greeting Sylvia, my gaze kept turning towards the Degreff carriage.

But it was also regrettable to keep focusing there after making a promise to Sylvia, so I smiled slightly at Sylvia.

“H-how do I look...?”

I nodded and answered as Sylvia looked at her clothes with a shy smile.

“You look pretty. It suits you well.”

“Thank you... hehe.”

I shrugged at the smiling Sylvia and looked back at the Degreff carriage.

Just then, as I made eye contact with Helena, who appeared in front of the carriage, she looked at me with a sad expression, unlike her usual bright self.

The moment I saw Helena’s face, which looked like she might burst into tears, I couldn’t help but move towards her.

It was clear that something had happened. And it seemed to be something very bad.

Grip.

As I was moving towards Helena, I had to stop because someone grabbed my sleeve.

Turning my gaze, Sylvia stood there, looking back and forth between Helena and me.

“Wh-where are you going...?”

“Just a moment. It seems something has happened to Helena.”

I have to go.

I tried to move again while saying this, but Sylvia didn’t let go.

“Can’t you not go?”

“I’ll be right back. I’m sorry.”

My heart was in a hurry, but I also understood Sylvia’s feelings, so I tried to move while asking for her understanding.

But Sylvia didn’t let go of my hand holding me.

“Don’t go. You promised me...”

“I’m really sorry, I’ll just ask what happened...”

“Don’t go.”

“Sylvia.”

“...Didn’t you like me?”

“...Huh?”

At Sylvia’s words, I stopped and looked at her. Sylvia, looking like she might cry at any moment, held onto my sleeve and continued speaking.

“...You said you liked me, didn’t you?”
