Even if itâs not the original, itâs natural to think she hates me, considering whatâs happened between Lafesch and me so far.
She hadnât seen me outside of her since she failed in the cutest thing she dared to do, connect me with Theodore.
So, such a request was not something Lafesch would have been able to make.
âMay Flendena be with you all. So I hope you walk a beautiful path in your life.â
The event seemed to have ended while he was looking ahead with her messy hair after sending Lafesch.
I was able to regain consciousness as if I had woken up after hearing the clear voice of the apostle.
âI didnât know Iâd spend my adult ceremony like thisâ¦..â
I just thought Iâd be happy all morning. I never imagined that my heart would be so heavy and I would miss the choir performance.
It was time to get up slowly with a deep sigh and move between the empty seats.
âEsadienâ¦. and Lafesch?â
On the opposite side of the direction of the door, two people stood behind a pillar that did not meet peopleâs eyes very much.
No, it wasnât just standing, it was whispering to each other.
âWhatâ¦..â
Lafesch was facing this way, but she didnât seem to see me. She just shook her head with a very dark expression on her face.
Stopped, I headed there, but it was faster for them to separate and disappear to different exits.
I clenched my fist as I suddenly became a chicken chasing a dog. I felt something burning in my heart.
âOkay, Iâll go to see you, Lafesch.â
The conclusion came at once to the point where it felt foolish to miss all the adult ceremony events.
âNo matter what happens, I wonât avoid it.â
Whether Lafesch tells me to break up or pour juice on me. And I was going to ask Esadienâs honest feelings.
âToday is the last day, yes.â
If I hear something about my ex-fiancé, I will pull out all of your shiny hair.
After making up my mind, time flew like an arrow. Changing clothes and braiding my hair seemed to be over in an instant.
She made an excuse and came to the front of Lafeschâs waiting room, which is located at the end of the hallway.
âIâm not that fastâ¦..â
To forget the tension, she murmured nonsense and grabbed the skirt of the blue dress that she matched similarly to Esadienâs eyes.
Anyway.
âAh.â
When I tried to knock, the door was open. There was a faint murmur of speech in between.
The content did not sound clear, but I could tell the owner by just saying âAh.â with that voice.
âEsadien.â
As soon as I realized the owner of the voice, all the tension and hesitation disappeared as if it were volatilized. I strode inside and pulled back the cover that I put on when I changed.
And what caught my eye.
ââ¦..!â
It was the back of Esadien, who leaned his head as much as he could while his body was close to someone.
The wavy red hair, which could not be covered by the wide back, informed that the opponent was Lafesch.
âHaha⦠ha.â
I felt like there was a cut out in the middle of my chest and threw on the street.
Everything fell apart.
Every moment I made eye contact with Esadien, the hopes and regrets that had barely remained, fell into that dark place and disappeared.
ââ¦â¦â
Did she feel something strange? Lafesch, who made eye contact with me, who was hardened, pushed Esadienâs shoulder out of the blue.
âMi, Mi, Minuelle!â
Lafesch was dressed in a corset without even clothes. No matter who looks at it, he couldnât wait for his lover to change and break in and share his affection.
It was Esadien who didnât want to show me the unfastened button. How deeply youâve fallen for Lafesch.
âMinuelle?â
Esadienâs movement seemed slow, as if it were in slow motion. All the changes in looking back at me and looking at Lafesch after the expression was marked with embarrassment.
All I could do was laugh at the face.
âHaha.â
I slowly took off my gloves and threw them hard.
The gloves Esadien presented hit him exactly on the cheek as if she were asking for a duel, and it fell to the floor.
Looking at Esadienâs eyes, which seemed unbelievable, I smiled as big as possible.
If you thought I hung on you after seeing this, youâd be mistaken.
âYes, youâre out.â
I myself heard a surprisingly cold voice. Spitting out the last word, I spun around and left Lafeschâs waiting room.
âMinuelle!â
I heard Esadien calling from behind, but I never looked back.
âDid you see it?â
Those ugly twisted palms?
ââ¦.youâve seen it.â
Thatâs why heâs not following me.
âThatâs really the end.â
There was something in common between Minuelle and me in the original.
Both fall in love with the other person at first sight and are taken away by the heroine, Lafesch.
She is suffering but obsessed with the other person.
It was a belated realization.
âHa⦠Thatâs right. I was obsessed with Esadien.â
You donât like me anymore?
âIf you hated me so much, you shouldnât have pretended to fall for me. You bastardâ¦.â
But, of course, there were also differences from the original Minuelle.
I donât hold on to a relationship thatâs over.
âItâs okay because I burned it.â
From the moment I met Esadien, I devoted all my affection to him. It was completely burnt out, yes. thatâs what happened.
But whyâ¦. Does it feel like my heart is rattling offbeat?
âAh, ughâ¦â
Unusually, every time my heart pounded, the heat surged, and a bloody smell ran through the tip of my nose. Like the last time I fought with Esadien in front of the imperial palace.
âUgh!â
I covered my mouth hastily with a surge of nausea.
âNo, stoâ¦p!â
I was wrong. It was much worse than last time.
With each step, the world twisted as if drunk.
â Shall I destroy it?
Someone seemed to whisper in my ear.
I was willing to nod. Whatâs the point of a banquet in this yard?
However, the reason tucked away in the corner remained.
âIf you destroy everything because of a broken heart, there wonât be anything left in this world.â
That was right.
âDestroy it, heh⦠Even if you, ugh.â
Wouldnât it be better to just go home than to throw up at the banquet hall?
As soon as I grabbed the doorknob of my waiting room, thinking so with my head that felt like seasick for three days, my legs have no strength.
And the floor, which was obviously under my feet, tilted sideways and spilled over to me.
âNo, I fell down.â
I chuckled like a madman, vomiting blood. In the midst of a complete mess, I could feel even the hot liquid flowing from my nose to my lips.
âWhat soundâ¦.. No, Lady Minuelle!â
âMinuelle?!â
I heard the voices of my friends.
âMinuelle!!â
Sister Elgaâs scream, too.
It was the first time Iâd ever heard my cold-hearted older sister scream like that, so I laughed again.
âThatâs a relief.â
Iâll soon be able to come to my senses with Ramandeâs divine power.
So I decided to faint with confidence. There was a clear sense of escape from the heat that seemed to burn the body through the faint consciousness.
I closed my eyes as it was.
When I opened my eyes again, I was full of energy from head to toe.
âI feel like Iâll be fine after running for five hours.â
How much divine power youâve put into me?
Sister Elga, Ramande and Theodore huddled by my bedside, but the first thing that struck me was that they were cute.
But that wasnât the first thing I said.
Words that I recalled many times before I fell down. It was a word I thought of while throwing gloves at Esadien.
âI want to break up my engagement.â
In the back, Ramande and Theodore breathed in surprise at the same time. Even though she could have heard the sound, sister Elga raised me up and answered calmly.
âI see.â
There were no unnecessary things. To the point where Iâm a little flustered.
âWonât you stop me?â
âIf thatâs your decision. As Juella said, you are a person who doesnât have to hesitate to do something.â
Yes, thatâs right.
Iâm officially spoiled by the Karinen family. I decided to pamper myself even more.
âI want to enter the banquet with my sister.â
âLetâs do that.â
Iâm just grateful today that my sister sticks to her uniform without wearing a dress.
âThank you. As expected, my sister is the best.â
I smiled at my sister and turned to the back.
Theodore, who attended as his cousinâs partner, was still surprised and couldnât find anything to say.
Even if you witnessed the mess between Esadien and me for the last time, you wouldnât have thought Iâd declare it like this because the break-up was pretty bad.
And Ramande.
âRamande?â
He had a look on his face that he had never seen before, even though I had been with him for half my life.
What should I say? He looked like he would be exactly like that if joy, worry, and anger were accurately picked.
âMinuelle, arenât you dizzy?â
Still, the voice asking about my condition was the same as usual, so I was able to answer after a few seconds, which became awkward.
ââ¦.uh, yes. thank youâ¦. I fainted with confidence because you were there.â
âAre you saying that you wonât faint without me?â
âNo, Iâm not?â
As soon as I jumped, Eamande laughed. It was that mischievous face that was familiar to me.
âTregosnan also worked hard to bring the priests in, Minuelle. Suddenly there was a fireâ¦.â
âWha, what? Fire?â
The thing I hate the most is fire. Especially these days!
I sniffed in the air, but there was no musty smell.
âWho knocked down the candlestick?â
But why are you calling the priests?
At the same time as reassuring, Theodore cautiously spoke to me as I tilted my head.
âIt seems to me that a fire came out of Lady Minuelleâ¦.â
âSir Tregosnan.â
Although sister Elga cut it off quickly.
âDonât bringing up words that arenât certain.â
Even me watching from the side got a little scared by the staring eyes.
Theodore, however, was not a man of empty words or a joker.
I tried to ask again what he meant, but it was faster for sister Elga to lift the hem of my dress.
âMinuelle, are you going to the banquet wearing that dress?â
âAhâ¦â
I swept the hem of my skirt. The light blue dress, which I chose with great care, was already wrinkled and stained with blood and was a mess.
Like the relationship between Esadien and me, itâs over.
âNo, of course not.â
Cheers to my older sister Juella, who always told me to bring a spare dress to the banquet because I didnât know what would happen.
I grinned.
âJust throw this away.â
The bloody dress disappeared before my eyes as if it hadnât existed from the beginning, and the new makeover was quickly completed.
