I stopped for a moment in the middle of the square and swallowed hard. A small hope had arisen, but fear also enveloped me at the thought that the future could depend on my choices.
But where on earth had Edwin gone? I haven’t seen him at all.
I tried to set up a meeting with his destined partner.
The original story had gone awry, but I still couldn’t be complacent. I didn’t know when and where Ian and Daisy would meet.
I wished Edwin and Daisy could meet first.
“Surely he didn’t go to eat?”
At that very moment, as I was about to head towards the restaurant where Edwin and I often went.
“Rosebelia?”
There was a very unfamiliar face in front of me. It was unfamiliar to me, but very familiar to Rosebelia: her father, Herman.
“Sister?”
“Sis!”
From the carriage that Herman was standing next to, Kaiden and Vivian got out. And lastly to appear,
“Oh my, Rose?”
It was Olivia, dressed in a splendid dress.
They seemed to be a lively and harmonious family. But I instinctively realized that there was no place for me within that fence.
“What are you doing in the square at this time?”
“I have some business.”
Olivia, escorted by Herman, got out of the carriage and came over to me with her eyes halfclosed.
“Rose, we’re going to a restaurant now, won’t you come with us?”
“No, I have to go back to the Knight’s Order.”
“We haven’t had a proper meal together in a while. Don’t do that and…”
Suddenly, Olivia got close to me and put her arm around me. Was it a natural aversion, or was I just creeped out?
“No, I’m fine.”
When I quickly pulled my arm out, I heard Herman click his tongue.
At the same time, a very faint sound of wind was heard beside me. It was like a snicker…
Did Olivia just smile?
“There’s no need to do that there.”
“Herman, but…”
“She said she won’t go, we can’t force her.”
You hadn’t visited even once while your daughter was sick all day.
Even though it was the first time we met after that, he didn’t ask if I was okay or show any concern.
The look in Herman’s eyes was full of nothing but dissatisfaction.
“Sis, you’re not coming with us?”
Vivian, who had run up to me, clung to my dress.
“I am…”
“Vivian, come to daddy. You too, come over here. Let’s go with the kids.”
“Herman.”
“Come quickly.”
As Olivia walked towards the carriage with Vivian, Kaiden sneakily approached and asked.
“Sister, you’re not coming with us?”
“Sorry, but I have important business.”
“That’s too bad. Let’s go together next time, sister.”
“Let’s go, Kaiden.”
Unable to resist Herman’s fervor, Kaiden approached Olivia’s side. Thus reunited, the family went into the restaurant across the way.
I, who had been watching them blankly, burst into hollow laughter.
Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way, yet it’s still miserable.
Even though I haven’t fully accepted them as my family, I don’t understand why I feel so empty.
Whether in my time or as Rosebelia, I am equally inexperienced in such matters.
If Edwin had been beside me, he would have superficially consoled me with plausible words……
After standing there blankly for a long time, I turned around, but my steps wouldn’t easily move. I felt momentarily directionless, not knowing where to go.
Get a grip.
When I lightly slapped my cheeks and looked up, unbelievably, in front of my eyes,
“Senior?”
Ian was there.
Seeing the carriage rapidly approaching behind him, I grabbed the hem of Ian’s cloak without even exchanging greetings.
“Danger……”
Ian’s pupils slightly widened, perhaps not expecting me to pull him so suddenly. Soon after, his large body, having lost balance, toppled over towards me.
Having no other place to grab, Ian’s hands gently rested on my shoulders.
But what is this?
Suddenly trapped in Ian’s arms, I felt a somewhat alien sensation and twitched my brows.
Something was definitely touching……
I slightly opened my mouth as I realized the identity of the warm and soft sensation resting on my forehead.
