Heroine of the Broken Engagement-Chapter 81: Why?
Chapter 81: Why?
Looking at Rishell, I rubbed my eyes.
It appears that heโs not an illusion and really standing there. ฦ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฆ๐๐ทo๐e๐ญ.c๐จ๐ข
โฆ I rubbed them again.
As I thought, he doesnโt disappear.
One more timeโฆ
โWhat are you doing, Olga? I am not an illusion.โ
โโฆ I know.โ
I guess.
He couldnโt be an illusion since he opened the door to the room and closed them again after going in.
โโฆ Why have you come here? What about your work?โ
Accepting reality, I decided to work out the counterplan.
โฆ First of all, letโs talk about something unrelated.
Besides, the things Rishell comes to talk about arenโt limited to the dream.
โI heard your condition has improved, so I came to see your stateโฆ I finished the work without passing away.โ
You didnโt have to finish. Because I would be fine if you took your time.
I would be really glad if you just came for a sick visit.
If only I didnโt carelessly tell you that I love you.
โฆ Not good, I got embarrassed just from recalling that. Take a deep breath, me.
โI, is that soโฆ you are not lacking in sleep, are you? You are making quite a tired face there.โ
Rishellโs face was marked with fatigue. and he had black spots near the corner of his eyes.
His beautiful face is being wasted.
โYeah, well.โ
โBesides, I heard from Dante, butโฆ umm, you were nursing me, right?โ
โโฆ Thatโs because you wouldnโt get hurt if I protected you properly.โ
I didnโt want to get close to that topic, but since I had to give my thanks, I lightly touched the subject.
As I thought, Rishell is feeling responsible for not preventing Liselotte from injuring me.
โฆ Even though itโs not his fault.
โโฆ Thank you. However, you should properly take your own body into consideration. You are nursing other people and in turn not sleeping well. I am not a child either.โ
Because he fell asleep in the middle of nursing me, he must have been quite tired.
After that, his work only piled up, so he would naturally have an insufficient amount of sleep.
โItโs fine, I did only what I wanted to.โ
โโฆ I see.โ
See, itโs because you say things like that! I will misunderstand!
Well, Rishell is unconsciously speaking out his mind.
โโฆ And so, you came to see my condition, right? I am fine, so it would be better if you quickly went back to your room and sleep before you collapse in the midst of work.โ
Seriously, leave.
I am worried about your lack of sleep too, but my heart will stop if we stay in the room like this by ourselves!
If you donโt want me to suffer from a heart attack, please promptly leave.
โโฆ I have one more thing I wanted to talk about.โ
โโฆโฆโ
Is he finally going to bring it up?
โฆ What do I do if he tells me that it was disgusting or that he dislikes me? Even though I trusted you, he might rebuke me.
I might cry.
โฆ I canโt think of an excuse and all doors are closed.
โโฆ What is it?โ
Thereโs nothing I can do even if I am irresolute.
โฆ At worst, I can run away. Well, I donโt feel like I will be able to escape from Rishell though.
โโฆ Tomorrow, before returning home, I would like you to come to the parlor. Liselotte will be judged, so you just have to be there as a witness.โ
โEh.โ
Since he talked about something different from what I expected, I unintentionally let out an idiotic voice.
So it wasnโt about the thing I said.
โฆ Itโs possible that he misheard me. Yeah, thatโs definitely it.
Scolding my body that wanted to melt onto the floor from relief, I heard out Rishell.
โWell, the truth is that I wanted to speak her in the interrogation room, butโฆ Liselotte is a foreign countryโs princess after all. She is an offender for speaking abusively to Lucretia and injuring you though.โ
โT, that so?โ
Liselotteโs life has fallen into darkness after making enemies of Rishell and Cain, huhโฆ
Well, sheโs suffering the consequences, so I have no sympathy for her, though.
I pictured the smiling Rishell interrogating the pale-faced Liselotte.
โWhen do I have to come?โ
โLetโs see. about half-past eight?โ
โThatโs quite early, isnโt it?โ
Even if he says interrogation, it will probably end in an hour.
I would like to leave the castle by ten tomorrowโฆ
โฆ Rishell conveyed his words with a whole-faced smile to me who was deep in thoughts.
โAhh, thatโs because I would like some time to talk with youโฆ slowly.โ
โโฆ!โ
โฆ Most likely, my face at this time became terrible.
He didnโt forget after allโฆ! Thereโs no way Rishell would forget something so important!
โฆ This is a lie, right? My life is going to come to an end tomorrow?
โDo you understand, Olga? If you return home without talking to meโฆ you understand, right?โ
โHii.โ
Rishellโs face at that time looked so malicious I let out a shriek out of my mouth.
Scary! If I go home, I will be probably brought back hereโฆ!
โฆ I, who sensed such had no choice but to nod my head.
