He looked at me silently. Without breaking through those men and frowning at me.
Rather, I narrowed my forehead.
āWhy donāt you say anything?ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āAdrian.ā
At my words, peopleās eyes turned to Adrian by the door.
The uninvited guests looked at me and Adrian alternately, and shortly after, East, the least tactful of them, said.
āIām happy to see Adrian, but the priority is for her to accept my bonquet. I like you, Leblaine. Be my wife.ā
As East spoke, the others were also clamoring.
āYou know how long Iāve been watching you.ā
Hayton too,
āGive me a chance this time.ā freeweb(n)ovel
Storas too,
āIf you and I hold hands, we can embrace this continent.ā
āIf you want, Iāll be the son-in-law instead of the heir to the Grand Duke!ā
Both Jin and Lionel offered me bouquets, but Adrian just looked at me.
I was grumpy for some reason.
āWhy? No, I know why Iām grumpy.ā
Letās be honest.
I donāt want to see Adrian give up on me for any reason now. Even if itās for me.
āItās obvious whatās going on in his head.ā
He is the only child of the emperor.
Now that Andre has been completely excluded from the succession, he is a man who will naturally succeed the throne.
And I was the one who said to the emperor and the people of the empire, āI donāt want to live in the empire.ā
If I marry him, of course I will move to the empire.
Knowing how much I love Dubblede, he couldnāt let me move away.
I stared at Adrian.
āYou are a man with a weaker will than a sea cucumber!ā
As soon as I shouted back, my family who came towards us stopped running like an angry wild boar, perhaps because they heard from my servants.
āLeblaine?ā
āKi-kid.ā
Everyone was surprised because I was so angry in front of them.
I turned my back with a huff.
Adrianās voice, who had only been staring at me until now, finally came out.
āThen what should I do?ā
āā¦ā¦What?ā
Turning my head, I saw Adrianās eyes clouded.
āYouāll be happier here. Those who propose to you are all people that can leave. They can be with you here.ā
āSo? You canāt leave, so if I accept your proposal, I have to leave Dubblede forever?ā
āā¦ā¦Yes.ā
I stared at Adrian fiercely.
āCoward! Dumb! Fool! This @#$@#tard @#%@!ā
Then, everyone was startled when my swearing came out. Only my mother covered her cheek with one hand and muttered, āThat side of hers looks like me.ā
I said,
āEnough. I have no intention of accepting the proposal of a coward like you.ā
āLeb-ā
āI!ā
I screamed and glared at Adrian.
āI want a man who tells me that no matter how hard is it, we can overcome it together.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āI want a man who wants to be with me even though it might hurt me.ā
While everyone was quietly looking at me, East and Lionel shouted, āThatās me!ā .
I looked at Adrian without paying attention to the two.
āGo back. Youāre a precious person who will become the Crown Prince. I will remain in Dubblede waiting for a brave companion-ā
As soon as I said so, Adrian strides toward the center.
He passed by the men and grabbed me.
I stared at him questioningly.
āGasp!ā
āThis personā¦ā¦!ā šššššššš£ššæšš”.ššš¶
āLet go now!!ā
The situation was only understood after shouts broke out around me.
Holding my face with both hands, he kissed me.
I hardened with my eyes open, and the surroundings were chaotic.
My mother wrapped her red cheeks with both hands, saying, āOh my, oh my,ā but my brothers were shouting.
āHey, that crazyā¦!ā
āAdrian Louerg!ā
āEnough, Leblaine and me will marry.ā
The last one who reply was dad,
āThe entire army, get ready for battle.ā
Adrian was kissing me until my mom covered my terribly angry dadās mouth.
He spoke in a slightly hoarse voice after we parted.
āYou think you know me well, but youāre mistaken.ā
āWha- whatā¦?ā
Confused, I stuttered.
āWhat, what? His gazeā¦ā
His eyes were sharp and intense.
He whispered,
āIām not running away. Iām giving you a chance to run.ā
Like a predator showing mercy to small animals.
āMomā¦ ā¦ .ā
I know without looking in the mirror. My cheeks would have turned red without realizing it.
I gulped and looked at him.
āIām wonāt run. So you run instead.ā
Adrian stared at me.
He was lost in thought for a moment as if to grasp the meaning of what I was saying, but I laughed a little at him.
And while looking around, I found a violet stuck in a vase.
Since I returned, the people have put violets all over the hall.
I took a handful of violets from the vase and walked over to Adrian.
āLeave the country and come to me. I will make you happy.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āIām so greedy that I canāt leave my country and family that I got after all sorts of hardships. Iām sorry to be selfish, but you love me anyway. So, Adrian.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āPrincess Leblaine Lisette Dubblede is proposing to Adrian Louerg.ā
Adrianās eyes trembled.
The surrounding area became quiet.
I smiled at Adrian, who was staring blankly at the violet.
āIf itās okay to be in such a bad country, then, Adrianā¦ will you accept me?ā
āā¦ā¦course.ā
āWhat?ā
He hugged me tightly.
āOf course.ā
Adrian, who faced me was smiling again.
A very, very bright smile of happiness.
Who I choose is this man.
He is not a descendant of a brave tribe leader with wisdom comparable to the devil.
Perhaps he is not a crown prince who will rewrite the history of the werebeast people.
He is not the son of a brave prince who endured the hardship of not knowing his family.
Heās not an ambitious person and have many connections.
Heās not a devil who has only looked at me for over a thousand years.
āBut this man.ā
This foolish man has sacrificed himself for me, he had no excellent ability, no honor and didnāt had the best lineage on this continent.
But heās a man who puts me first over anything.
I chose this fool who couldnāt easily bring up the word of love because it was too heavy.
I said with a big smile.
āDonāt worry. I wonāt make you worry about money for the rest of your life, or worry about bowing your head to others.ā
āIs there no option for me to work?ā
āYou want to?ā
āI wanted to do business with the socialites.ā
āOkay. Make your dreams come true by my side.ā
āYes.ā
Thatās how I become a vicious Dubblede princess who took away the crown prince from the empire.
***
Aside from the empire, there was still many oppositions.
First of all, my family was in an uproar.
[Kid, you are underage!]
They were adamantly opposed to my marriage.
I lightly stopped those words.
[Iām no longer a minor though? Itās been three years since I left.]
However, the enemies (my father and brothers who oppose my marriage) did not easily back down. I was helped by my strong allies (my mother and aunt).
[Do you think you can protect her forever? Will there any man who would sacrifice that much like him?]
Everyone shut up at the motherās attack.
In fact, the family would not have liked anyone as my partner. However, Adrian, who even made such a sacrifice, had no excuse for them to oppose.
He will be Dubbledeās son-in-law and remain with Dubblede, so where else would there be a good groom?
Adrian even took on the troublesome task, saying, āIāll take care of the empire.ā
Eventually, my father and brothers (I donāt know why, but also my maternal grandfather and uncle) gathered together and drank alcohol for two consecutive days, and after shedding tears, they allowed it.
Mom, aunt, and chairman shook their heads as they saw them cry under the influence of alcohol.
Even when my dad was drunk, he looked at me with sad eyes.
Every time, I avoided looking at him.
Anyway, it was a good ending.
Andā¦
āYouāre really bad. You naughty kidā¦ā
āHow could you propose to another man in front of me who proposed to youā¦ you trampled on this manās innocence!ā
The men who proposed to me left the castle crying.
To be exact, East and Lionel did.
I smiled and saw them off.
āGoodbye! Find a good girl!ā
Seeing the excited me, Jin smiled sadly.
āYou may regret it.ā
āWill I?ā
āYes. Iām a better guy than you think. Weād get along pretty well.ā
āIn this life, I have decided to put my regrets in Adrianās arms.ā
Jin chuckled, took my hand lightly and kissed the back of my hand.
āI wish you happiness. The strongest Shutala (warrior) Iāve ever seen.ā
I thanked him with a big smile.
Hayton looked at me silently and took a step.
I thought he would say something, but he was walking silently and it was unexpected.
āIs the wound deep?ā
Feeling a little sorry, Hayton paused and said,
āEven if itās an affair, Iām fine.ā
āCanāt you go?ā
When I said that, he muttered.
āIf you have a next life, give me a chance.ā
āā¦ā¦Okay.ā
He looked at me, so I added.
āIāll give you a chance around my tenth life.ā
āDamn.ā
āIt means to let go. Because I will never go to you.ā
āā¦You donāt have to do that.ā
So he left.
āAnd all thatās leftā¦ā¦ā
When the men left and the last one remained, Boone and Pur said.
āIt was too much for Storas.ā
āYes, child. We know how much he has loved you since ancient timesā¦ā
Boone and Pur, who said so, went away after saying that.
Storas and I faced each other in the courtyard where there was no one.
āAre you going now?ā
āYes.ā
āAre you going to come back?ā
When I asked, he looked at me.
āI wonāt come foreverā¦ ā¦forever.ā
I answered.
āOkay.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
I didnāt know that Storasā gaze would be on me. I recalled the ancient him who called my name happily.
āI know you donāt like that name, but let me call you one last time.ā
āā¦ā¦Okay.ā
He hesitated and opened his mouth.
He, who had hesitated for a very long time after saying he would call me, whispered in a small voice.
āMeriaā¦ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āMeria.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āMeria. ā¦Meria.ā
I didnāt avoid his eyes. It was courtesy for his desperate affection.
He called Meria over and over again, as if to vent his sorrow. And he asked.
āNext time, next time Iā¦ā
āItās a meaningless assumption.ā
āItās okay. Iāll stay forever.ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āIāll wait for you who will be reborn, the next you, and the next youā¦ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āMeria.ā
āThank you for loving me.ā
He covered his eyes with one hand. I pretended not to know that his tears was flowing through his knuckles.
