58 – Is Grace a concubine?

* * * *

“Berry.”

“Why?”

After staring at my heart for a while, Grace smiled at me with her jewel-like eyes.

It’s the same as usual, but it gives off an unusual atmosphere.

“It is said that if you love someone, you resemble them… but I think it’s okay not to resemble them until this point.”

“…What?”

Grace’s tone was a bit static.

But I was not even given the right to raise that question. No, I didn’t even think of that in the first place.

I could fully understand what she meant by saying that to me.

Because I was also a victim like Grace. The reason was that it was easy to predict that she would have noticed what kind of intention I had of approaching her.

“It’s true that I also want to try love, but I don’t think this way is really right.”

Turbuck. Even though Grace took a step closer to me and began to preach with her eyes closed, I just listened to him silently and did not avert my gaze.

No matter what my intention was to save her, as long as she didn’t know my intentions, it must have been that my actions were not very pleasing to her.

“A love that blooms because someone ordered it or because there was a third party’s intention… I don’t regard such a thing as love.”

She said that she fell in love with Ian because of the strange fate that the author of this world had attached to him.

For some reason, a bitterness that I do not know about that fact wraps the tip of my tongue.

“The love I’m talking about isn’t like that. A little more fateful… I wanted a love that blooms from such an encounter.”

“That’s why I tried to explain it to Her Highness at that time too. I don’t want that kind of… semi-forced push.”

Her eyes are spotless and clear enough to give the illusion of twinkling topaz that is still looking straight at me.

I felt the bitterness multiplied by her dignified appearance, which seemed quite different from the one I had read about in the works.

What character was she?

A lie detector saint, Hogu herself who can’t leave anyone asking for help.

and.

A pitiful person who throws herself into eternal pain to save the one she loves… .

“So, thank you for your consideration, but I will only accept your heart. I want to find out my fate with my own hands. Even if it takes years.”

When the gaze that was facing me turned to the ground, I raised my head on the contrary and looked at the sky seen through the windows of the arena.

Things didn’t work out as expected, so my worries increased, but ironically, it was because I felt somehow at ease.

‘Yes, Grace is a heroine who is eliminated before the second half anyway. Even if it’s not awakened, it’s better than nothing.’

Trying to awaken her by making her fall in love with someone other than Ian is itself my greed and excessive anxiety.

Just because she doesn’t belong to the same party as Ian means that Ian is no longer in danger of dying, and now Ian is strong. You will get Durandal much faster than the original, so its strength will be doubled.

In addition, since Ian knows when, where, and how Ian dies, he may be able to cope with any situation.

I have the strength to do so now.

So even if she falls in love with Ian and hangs out with Ian, she might not die just in case.

Of course, this case is nothing short of a gamble, so I wouldn’t even try.

So, the thought of awakening her and receiving the best healing and blessings may be my greed.

“Whoa…yes, I’m sorry…”

“Huh? Her Highness the Princess? What are you doing there?”

Selina’s voice came from the far hallway.

At the same time, Lily’s eyes, which had been vaguely visible through the gap in the half-open door, became fully visible as the door opened with a squeaking sound.

The focus and direction of the eyes lost and wandering even though their faces are facing us.

The trembling of her pupils, which are wide enough to fill them, clearly proves that she is looking at us but does not want to see us.

Seeing that expression, how could I not notice it, that was 100% suspicious of my relationship with Grace.

Even after class, just the two of us were looking into each other’s eyes and talking… Our princess must have had enough misunderstandings.

So, in case she even heard my explanation, I didn’t want to run away, so I gave strength to the tips of my feet for a while, and Selina pushed her back and appeared together in the arena.

“Why are you just staring here! Gum… aren’t you here to meet Mr. Berry? Then go in quickly…ah.”

me. And Selina freezes the moment she sees Grace.

and.

shit.

It was a fleeting moment, but it was clearly visible. Selina looked at us and smiled lightly.

“Why the hell…?”

Grace put on a look of disbelief.

Perhaps Grace also caught that fleeting moment, and began to watch Selina with her eyes narrowed.

Then, Selina hurriedly grabs Ian’s arm and leads him out of the arena.

Even the excuses were improvised, so it was clear that they were lying to escape from this bleak atmosphere.

“Oops… Look at me, Ian…! I forgot to bring you a drink, what the heck? So, by the way…would you like to go to the dorms with me?”

“Uh, uh? But I… I have an appointment with Berry to go to the academy treasury after this…!”

Academy Treasury. The moment she heard those words, Selina stopped and asked Ian and me in turn.

“Really…? Are you going to the treasure house? Now…?”

“Uh…? That. Not now… Anyway, right?”

Selina’s eyes then turned to Grace as she was trying to ponder something, and she hurried her steps again, grabbing Ian and starting to drag her away.

“I see…! Then, today, if you have a drink together in the dormitory, I’ll send you back! Excuse me, everyone…! See you next time!”

“Berry! I’ll finish it soon, so wait a little longer…!”

After leaving those words, Selina appeared like the wind and disappeared like the wind. And Ian, who was attracted to Selina.

“……Why on earth?”

Perhaps there was something suspicious about that scene, Grace whispered quietly with a serious face.

I was also curious about him, so I wanted to ask why, but now the problem in front of my eyes comes first.

“Pi, Finn…”

The problem of resolving the misunderstanding of my princess, who was trembling with tears in her eyes and looked like she was going to explode at the slightest touch.

* * * *

how did this happen

Through the gap in the slightly open door, the girl sees her attendant… Now that he saw a boy who could be called Jungin, he was delighted and tried to call his name.

A woman’s silhouette followed, making her mouth shut.

‘Grace… ?’

The biggest risk factor that he decided after talking with Marianne, the lady-in-waiting, until late at night.

Grace from the School of Divinity was smiling kindly at the boy.

A boy’s voice was heard faintly.

The boy seemed to be audible because he was standing closer to the entrance than Grace.

“Just in case, do you… do you have someone in mind right now?”

thud.

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the girl’s heart sank to the ground.

The boy covets Grace… It was because it was actually happening right in front of my eyes.

The girl steps back to catch up with her reeling spirit and begins to focus on the vaguely heard voice.

Tears from the shock were already welling up in the corner of the girl’s trembling and convulsive eyes.

‘It won’t be… probably not… Finn can’t do that.’

The shocking sound of conversation heard again by such a girl.

“Love…I want to experience it…at least once….”

“Whoa, is that so?”

The boy let out a sigh of joy when he said that he wanted to experience Grace’s love at least once.

The two conversations were shocking enough, but the girl continued to hold on to the doorknob and listened to the conversation, wanting to believe in the boy.

Please, I hope that all of this is my own illusion. In the hope that the boy really did not hand over his love to Grace.

I didn’t care that the figure I was dressed up to show off to the boy was messed up with tears, and continued.

But.

It is said that fate always grants only severe trials.

The conversation that followed was even more shocking.

“It’s a bit late now, so… could you come visit me again at the next training session?…”

A boy who says he wants to continue this thrilling tryst.

“If you love… I think it’s good.”

Grace says that if they fall in love, he won’t be bad either.

“I also… want to try… I think.”

Grace confesses that she also wanted to have a tryst like this.

Turbuck. Grace approaches the boy as if she is going to kiss her.

“…a third party’s…blooming love…”

Grace, referring to the love she shares with a third person, straightens her gaze toward the boy. It looked like it was really begging for a kiss.

“Love… blooms from a fateful meeting…”

Hearing the continuing courtship-like conversation, the girl no longer had the confidence to look and turned her head away.

At this rate, it was clear that the boy and Grace would kiss in an affectionate atmosphere.

… Unlike himself, who almost forcibly kissed her and ran away.

… .

… .

And now. Now that Selina is semi-forced to face the boy and Grace.

The girl clung to the vague belief that the boy would never leave her,

Even so, he couldn’t blame the boy who was having a tryst with Grace, leaving behind himself who had just made up his mind.

Men usually had several wives, and there was no assurance that a boy would not seek such an occasion.

The enormous guilt of the boy turned the girl into a woman who could understand even her foolish behavior.

“Pi, Finn…that, Grace…is a wife, a concubine…? But…I’m the first right…?”

What kind of commoner in the world would make a concubine with a princess in the subject of a pillar west?

It was impossible, but delusions that couldn’t exist beyond that were already unfolding in the girl’s brain, so the girl at least spoke of the most hopeful future.

If this is the case, it means that even if it is a forced smile, it can be seen.

Of course, against the girl’s understanding words, the expression of the boy and Grace who listened to him was indifferent.
