Serena spoke elegantly and calmly. Had her attitude not seemed like giving candy to a crying child, Lucas would have been moved.
“You are excellent, very much so.”
These words were sincere, but they were said in a tone very different from what Lucas had expected.
“Yet, there is no fate between you and me.”
Again, Serena spoke coldly. It was a situation Lucas had never thought of before.
“I wish to undo our engagement as if it never existed. I wish for it very desperately.”
Uhgrit, Lucas clenched his teeth.
“Do you dislike me that much? Or have you fallen in love with someone else?”
“I swear there is no such thing.”
Lucas’s anger softened a bit at Serena’s firm response.
“I am the imperial crown prince. Moreover, as you acknowledged, I have become the strongest man. What am I lacking as a marriage partner?”
Their conversation kept circling due to their very different ways of thinking. From the start, how could Serena know that Lucas had nurtured love and admiration for her and honed himself?
“Your Highness, you are outstanding in every way.”
Yet, his selfish side, thinking everything should go his way, might be a benefit when he became emperor.
After all, he had the will to forsake a peaceful life of noble status and undergo repeated trials to become so robust.
“But why do you only talk about us not having a connection and not being glad to see me?”
“It’s a separate issue. Just as the last six years you and I have spent were different.”
“Are you resenting my indifference?”
Even Lucas knew it was a foolish question, but the words escaped his lips involuntarily.
“I wanted to wait until I could show you an upright image of myself. I wanted to stand before you in a proud manner. Has that left you with resentment?”
“How could it?”
He knew it. There was no resentment in Serena’s eyes when she looked at him from the start. Her blue eyes looking at him were not entirely negative. They were just surprise and bewilderment.
“Well, I really disliked you at the engagement ceremony, but it was the same for both of us, right?”
Grinning, Serena smiled charmingly.
How nice it would have been if she had smiled like that when he told her he had come to take her.
“The past is the past.”
“The past?”
Everything Lucas said was sincere. Even his words that he had not forgotten Serena for a single day were true. But Serena called all those days simply the past.
“I’m not resentful towards you, nor do I think you lack anything.”
Serena didn’t even give Lucas time to get lost in his memories.
“I don’t want to be the crown princess. The imperial family does not suit me. The same goes for marriage.”
Her eyes, bluer than jewels, shone brighter than Lucas’s memories.
“I want to live as myself, not as a man’s woman.”
Lucas slowly blinked. It was something he had never heard in his life.
“I hate living with repressed emotions, conscious of other people’s gaze.”
He would never know, but the wasted time in her previous life hurt.
“I want to try living as myself.”
[Dash] You’re neither this nor that.
The oldest memory from my previous life was a scene of bursting into tears during training. I tried so hard, but I couldn’t become a gymnast.
[Dash] Sigh… Give it up. Try something that requires strength instead.It was merely when I was 11 years old. I could understand that I wasn’t suitable for gymnastics even at that young age, but what hurt was what followed.
[Dash] Just using strength, what’s the point? Volleyball is a team sport, how many times do I have to say that?In a small country, the path to becoming a professional through sports was too harsh. Some would call it a loser’s excuse, but I had no will to continue something that didn’t suit me.
[Dash] Senior, have her do it. She was some kind of athlete when she was young. [Dash] Right. Wow, I was so surprised when I saw her lifting a desk with one hand.Such memories were too numerous to count. I thought my heart was gradually becoming numb, but it was actually wearing away and disappearing.
So even if I remember most of my previous life, I can’t recall my name.
“I hate being judged by someone all the time.”
What does it matter if a woman is big, or if she’s strong, or if she can’t be called delicate and pure all her life?
“So.”
I had to give up my dreams and endure ridicule just for that. I couldn’t escape the contemptuous glances no matter how much I tried to shrink myself.
“I can’t be an obedient crown princess, nor an elegant empress.”
As if compensating for a past life full of regrets, the present Serena had the opportunity to pursue her dreams, and there were warm people supporting her.
“I’ve already decided. So if you truly cannot forgive me, you may as well kill me.”
I wanted to protect this life that much. The sparkling days when I could do something with excitement every day.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
