Realizing where my gaze was directed, Delia sneakily covered the ring with her palm.
“Ah…”
A sigh of despair involuntarily escaped me.
I felt like I was about to crumble to the ground.
Such audacity to be so unashamed.
“I’m sorry, Leah. I really am. I wanted to tell you earlier, but…”
Earlier? They wanted to tell me earlier? Since when had they been seeing each other, and why today of all days?
Today was supposed to be my…
As my thoughts spiraled, darkness enveloped me, leaving me feeling alone in a world devoid of light.
“You’re my friend… I thought we shouldn’t do this to you, so neither of us said anything. I’m sorry, Leah. If it weren’t for the pregnancy, I wouldn’t have told you…”
Delia sobbed, her words trailing off, as if expecting me to console her like always.
“And… Leah, you know you have difficulty with physical intimacy. You know how important that is to men… Detor was struggling a lot…”
“Do you even realize what you’re saying?”
“We were in a mutually beneficial relationship. If I hadn’t satisfied Detor’s needs… he might have broken up with you long ago. I kept your love happy, Leah. Can’t you see that?”
Her absurd words made my hands tremble. I abruptly stood up and hurled the bouquet I was holding with all my might.
“Le, Leah…”
“You, you! How could you do this to me!”
Startled by my sudden action, Delia clutched her head in shock.
“You! How could you do this to me!”
“Le, Leah… I understand you’re upset, but be careful. What if something happens to the baby in my womb…”
What did she just say?
I stared blankly at Delia.
Is this really my friend Delia? How could she say such things to me? How could she talk about the baby in her womb in front of me…
“Sigh.”
Without another glance at Delia, I walked out.
The maids I had sent out for privacy were waiting outside.
“Where is Detor?”
My voice quivered. I tried to maintain composure, but my mind was clouded with filthy thoughts of Detor and Delia laughing at my obliviousness.
“The Count Detor has just arrived and is currently checking the banquet hall.”
Upon hearing this, I hurried towards the banquet hall where Detor was.
The maids, shocked that I wasn’t fully ready, followed in surprise, but I didn’t care.
I needed to confirm this tragedy for myself.
As I entered, I saw Detor, the man I loved and once loved.
I approached him rapidly, tossing off my gloves.
“Huh? Lepherentia?”
Detor turned at the sound of my footsteps and smiled at me. His unchanged smile blurred my vision.
I loved that smile. I was convinced that his clear smile towards me was love.
I stepped up to him and, with my bare hand, touched Detor’s cheek.
There was no need to ask if Delia’s words were true.
At the moment my hand touched Detor’s cheek…
As all of Detor’s memories flooded into my mind, I saw his perspectives and thoughts when looking at me and then those when looking at Delia, filled with vile and filthy desires, even the unpleasant images I had imagined just moments ago.
The past of Detor I had never known filled my mind in an instant.
Thud!
“What are you doing now!” Detor coldly brushed off my hand from his cheek and hastily stepped back.
Simultaneously, tears that had been shimmering in my eyes rolled down my cheeks.
“Delia’s pregnant, and you’re the father, aren’t you?”
There was no need to ask again.
From the memories I read, Detor and Delia were together, happily smiling, his face bearing that clear smile I had always believed was a sign of love.
I could see someone’s entire memories by touching their skin with my bare hands, without any control over it.
So, this was all undeniable facts.
“……! We’ll talk about this later.”
Only my father, Delia, and Detor knew of my ability since childhood. Delia and Detor always asked me to respect their privacy, so I always wore gloves to prevent accidentally knowing all their personal lives.
‘And all this resulted in their betrayal of me.’
I had never held Detor’s hand or shared a proper kiss of love.
Detor, who always postponed physical contact, fearing I would learn all about him, made excuses to me but went to Delia, complaining he couldn’t do as he pleased with me?
“When were you planning to tell me?”
“Rephrentia.”
“After we’re married? Planning to say let’s divorce after becoming a father to another child?”
Detor’s expression tensed, and he gestured the servants to leave, checking his surroundings.
“Rephrentia. There are many people listening. Please be quiet.”
I was too naive, believing my friend and my fiancé would never betray me.
I thought our trio would always be happy together.
It was entirely my fault.
“It’s over between us, Detor.”
“Rephrentia. Everything has been settled between our families, and the royal family knows about our wedding. You can’t just change your mind because of a whim…”
“Just a whim? You think this is just a whim?”
Detor’s unchanged attitude after everything was revealed felt strange. Now, when apologies and pleas should have been insufficient, his knees were still unbent, his head never bowing down to me.
“Let’s call off the engagement. Better than a divorce.”
“Rephrentia.”
“This ring. You said it was hard to find, yet Delia wears the same one. Couldn’t you at least pretend to be thoughtful and choose different rings?”
I pulled off the engagement ring, threw it at Detor’s chest, and turned around.
The maid, waiting in front, was shocked to see me turn away crying. She was hopping on her feet, saying my makeup would get ruined. I ordered her to prepare the carriage.
As I left the wedding venue, tears streamed down endlessly. It felt like being lost in a mist, utterly hopeless.
Why, why this trial for me?
“I’d rather, rather die.”
I felt like my whole life had been invalidated. Walking aimlessly, wiping my tears with the back of my hand, I just wanted to go anywhere away from those two.
That’s when it happened.
Thump!
Someone hit me hard on the back of the head from behind.
The sudden event was unavoidable.
‘…What?’
‘…What?’
As the pain that started in my head spread and soon overwhelmed my sorrow, enveloping my entire body, my consciousness was devoured.
And when I opened my eyes again, I had returned to three months before my wedding.
This was my first regression, marking the beginning of an endless cycle of returns.
