2 – For breakup (2)

I am most nervous now since I was born.

thump-

The heart pumping like this is proof of that. Even in the first beast hunt I went out with my father, I had never jumped this much, but just by seeing that woman in front of my eyes, my body instinctively raised its senses to the extreme, as if it knew that an unprecedented crisis had come.

But even so, the eldest son of the Count Krauss couldn’t be unsightly in front of the lady, couldn’t he? I barely calmed down my sensitive senses and faced the woman in front of me.

Pure white skin and long hair, as white as snow. Clear and transparent purple eyes, as if a well-crafted amethyst was inserted as it is. Even the slightest movement of the corner of her closed mouth would cause vain imaginations of the men around her.

It is not a waste of words to say that he is a Gyeongguk color.

When everything that had been described only in writing appeared in reality, I could clearly see how weak my imagination had been in imagining the appearance of Elena Edelweiss.

I, too, had various thoughts at once at that beautiful look, but I was able to come to my senses quickly, perhaps thanks to my firm sense of purpose. Even I, who was so wary of her, would be like this.

There was a reason why you guys are so liver, gallbladder, and everything.

Even Ken, who had been through everything in the world standing next to her, was staring blankly at her, so it goes without saying that he was a high-spirited teenager. They must have swarmed like bees with honey in front of them. Actually, after the day I broke up with Damian, it was written that most of the men at the academy had received courtship letters.

From now on, you will be bombarded with letters from the academy entrance ceremony.

“Nice to meet you, Lady Edelweiss. I am Damian Krause, the eldest son of the Krause family.”

“…Nice to meet you, Prince Krause. I am Elena Edelweiss, the eldest daughter of the Edelweiss family.”

Elena responded to my greeting with a grin, albeit a bit hesitant. With that smile, dynamite exploded in the heart that was at best calm. Also, I would like to break off the engagement as soon as possible. I don’t know what kind of nonsense I’m going to fall for her.

I stepped on the shoe of Ken, who was still dazed, and signaled him to leave. Fortunately or unfortunately, Ken winked at me with a misunderstood face and left the door with Elena’s maid.

After the two of them left, only me and Elena were left in the room.

It was good that I sent the two of them out because I wanted to have a little peace of mind, but I started to get nervous when only the two of us were left. To ease the tension even a little, I poured the tea I had prepared ahead of time into a teacup and passed it to her.

“Even though we’re engaged, this is the first time we’ve actually met, right? Lady Edelweiss.”

Engagement between the girl who is rumored to be beautiful in the empire and me, who is unknown except for her position as the son of a master of swordsmanship in the empire. There is also a small background behind this strange relationship, which is unknown why these two have never met since birth.

My father, Earl Arthur Krause, head of the Krause family, and her father, Duke Joachim Edelweiss, head of the Edelweiss family, are old friends.

In this era when it is natural for arranged marriages to occur between aristocratic families, the two, who were close friends, said, ‘Let’s marry your son and my son later!’ We made promises, and when I, Demian, and Elena were born as the eldest son, they said they were good and got the two of us engaged.

However, both of them made a verbal promise, probably thinking that their children’s opinions should be respected in a marriage that will only happen once, and they have not yet been officially engaged.

So, this is the place to meet before the official engagement ceremony. In the original work, this explanation says that the two of them have already officially engaged in an engagement ceremony, but well, for me, it’s good. If you’re lucky, you might be able to break off your engagement right here and now.

Even if Damian is before the start of the original work, there’s no way he’ll be nasty. Even after meeting him in person, you may have some doubts about her choice to get engaged, but you can know that well by looking at her personality.

“Yes…”

After answering my question in a small way, she is just fiddling with the teacup I poured her.

As can be seen from this figure, at the beginning of the novel, she was weak in assertiveness and had an introverted personality. If the heroine, who can be said to be the center of the novel, continued to have this kind of personality, she was 100% sweet potato, so the incident unfolds and this personality is also corrected.

It’s not that she’s been abused since she was a child. It is said that Joachim Edelweiss was a daughter who could be called a fool, and her mother was also a kind and good mother.

Since a person’s personality is not simply determined by the environment in which she grew up, this was her nature from birth.

It was a life that others supported her even if she did nothing because of her natural appearance, but for her weak nature, it became a burden and made her even smaller. Compared to Damian, who was arrogant and careless from birth, he is the complete opposite.

Maybe that’s why I followed the words of Damian, who said everything he couldn’t say. Perhaps, in the original story, Damian would have asked her to get engaged as soon as he saw her, and the weak Elena would have accepted the engagement without saying anything.

Because of the unique noble atmosphere, it was difficult for others to even approach, but in a way, the engagement that was concluded because of Damian’s unstoppable behavior is no different from a comedy, but this personality changed after the breakup with Damian and rejected all the proposals that came to him. It will be as much as you can.

It’s to the extent that a chick who couldn’t say anything is now able to cry with a bleep, but the girl in front of me right now is in a state where she can’t even bleep and cry.

What should I do in this case?

What changed her in the original work was the negative feeling of not wanting to be swayed by Damian.

It is an undeniable fact that ‘Demian’ became the trigger, although there must be many complex reasons, not just one.

So, should I act like Damien in the original novel and act so that she can change?

that i hate

It’s not like I’m going to press the self-destruct switch myself. I am a body determined to live a life for me, not for her.

Anyway, even if I don’t step out, there will be a lot of things that will make her feel negative, and the male lead candidates from the original work will take care of it. All I have to do is give her a neither good nor bad image and break off this engagement.

“…..”

“…..”

First of all, it seems that we need to change to the extent that we can have a conversation.

Since there was nothing on my side, she never brought up the story first. It’s not that I don’t like conversation, I just don’t know what to say, so I’m just messing around with my tea cup. I still haven’t drank that…

can’t do it I can only lead the conversation.

I took off the silver food cover that was prepared with tea next to it.

Several desserts were prepared in it, but most of them looked sweet. These were the desserts I prepared in advance because I mentioned that I like sweet things in the original work. Sure enough, when I removed the cover, I could see her eyes sparkling at the sight of the dessert, so it was fortunate that she liked it.

“Because I usually enjoy eating sweets. It’s embarrassing, but I prepared it in advance to eat it with the young lady. Does Lady Edelweiss like sweets too?”

“Ah, yes. Yes. I like it.”

Even though she answers, her eyes continue to look at the dessert, as if she was distracted by the delicious desserts. Yes, these were made by the head chef of Yeongju Castle with great care. I heard that he is a talented person who worked at a famous restaurant in Jedo.

I used the prepared tongs, put one of each on Elena’s plate, and handed it to her.

“Thank you…”

Does this look so delicious?

I said earlier that I like sweets, but that’s just an excuse to give her dessert. I don’t eat sweets often. Too sweet can be too sweet.

wow

I roughly cut a piece of cake and ate it, but it was so sweet that I couldn’t eat any more. I hurriedly drank the tea I poured next to it to neutralize the sweetness in my mouth.

What the hell do people like to eat?

Of course, I know that I can’t eat sweets better than others. So, I could only eat chocolate with a high cocoa content, but generally I did not eat anything sold on the market. In the past, 99% of the cacao that I always ate was thought to be common, so I recommended it to others and was beaten.

I lost my thoughts for a while, so I didn’t see Elena’s reaction. From the outside, it looks like a work of art, but it was too sweet. Even Elena, who likes sweet things, might not like it.

“If you like it, young lady…”

“Yum~”

well well

As if to show that it was a useless worry, I was speechless when I saw Elena scooping up the cake with a face as if she had reached out to the world.

Her heart was in danger just by slightly raising the corner of her mouth and smiling, but her genuinely happy face had indescribable destructive power. In my whole life, I’ve never had a shady desire of possessiveness against a person, but her smile had a demonic nature that made me want to look only at me.

Should I break up the marriage? I’m different from the original Damien…

closely-

I pinched my thighs so she couldn’t see them, as useless thoughts kept creeping up on me.

The barrier of reason regained through pain buried the uncontrolled emotions deep in the heart again.

‘driving me crazy.’

Every little thing she does seems to have a huge impact on my feelings. It was too strange to say that I fell in love with her at first sight. Isn’t this crazy enough to feel possessive just because a pretty person smiles?

It seems that it is much more dangerous for her to be by my side than I thought.
