Chapter 2

The back that stopped moving was shabby.

So, behind the colorful characters, Selina disappeared without even being a shadow.

Yes, Selina. She wanted someone to be with her at the moment of her death… So did she call me?

A pathetic like me who died alone like her? So she wants me to make her wish come true?

Or did she call me because she seems to have no regrets in life that she decided to die on her own?

Not to make her death be miserable? So that she can hold her breath on her own before she gets sick and dies alone?

It doesn’t matter what it is.

I’m going to live in Selina’s body now, and I’m going to die at the age of 23. Those two things won’t change.

I opened my eyes.

The room was brightened by candles and not with a light bulb. It made me conscious that this is the world of Selina.

Selina was dying before my eyes.

“Well, once…”

Let me grant the wish of the dead.

***

This is so annoying.

From that day on, I managed to get out of the bed to live a little better life, but whenever I went somewhere, I always get attention, whispering and helping me….

This whole house was crazy.

Why are there so many people….

“Oh, no. What if I die a little miserable? I won’t even remember when I’m gone. Sorry, Selina~”

I lay in a field of grass behind the deserted way, leaving myself in a whirlwind of trouble.

By the way, I don’t think there is a Tsutsugamushi (a type of bacteria) here.

I was thinking of sleeping while lying down here, but I heard a sound of footsteps along with a rustling sound around me.

I had no intention of opening my eyes.

This is a dukedom and I am a princess… Then I don’t have to go around. Let’s pretend to sleep.

However, the cause of the rustling sound seemed to have no intention of doing so.

Dug dug dug dug.

Right. You won.

I raised myself hard. It sounds like a sound beyond the grass I was laying.

There was a man there, roughly crawling with his knees, pushing the bush with his hand and raising his head.

A figure of fluttering long hair and wielding a sword.

There was only one thought that came to my mind when I saw him.

By any chance…

Doesn’t this duke have a training facility? Why is he doing that here?

I don’t want to get involved with a troublesome person so I quietly move somewhere else and pull out the hair that was sticking out of the bushes.

It won’t come out. I think my hair was tangled in the branches.

The history of life. That’s right in the novel, the keyword ‘meeting by chance’ also applies to villains…

I can’t help it.

“Excuse me… excuse me…”

The man stopped at my shaky voice and looked around. But, as if he hadn’t found me yet, he looked up and swung his sword again.

“Excuse me…”

Once again, the man fixed the sword.

The man, whose eyes became fierce and looked around, finally came slowly in the bushes where I was.

Oh, it’s like I’m filming a drama.

I really had to look at the man approaching this way with rolling eyes, with only half of his face.

Soon enough, the man arrived here and found me.

Yeah. This is weird. So do I. This situation is weird.

“Help me. I can’t get my hair out.”

The man still looked at me with wary eyes. Soon after, I opened my eyes wide as if I had broken half of my face.

People wanted to climb to higher positions with all their might. Why? What is the reason?

Because you want to be recognized? Or to make a lot of money? No, it’s not.

I stand to make it impossible to say anything even if I smile in front of a person like this.

The man looked back and smiled at me as if he had never done it.

I couldn’t say anything because I knew who this man was. I can’t gather them.

He’s the hero of the novel.

Lucaf Bar… Is it Lucaf?

“Excuse me, Sir Lucaf.”

“It’s Lucas.”

Lucaf, no, Lucas looked with a ridiculous expression

But what are you gonna do? I’m a princess and a patient.

“Oh, Sir Lucas, help me out. My hair is tangled and I can’t get out.”

Lucas came one step closer.

The form of bowing his head without a hand on his chest with a gentle smile, I couldn’t believe that he was looking back like that before. It was very elegant.

“I’ll be glad to help you, Princess Selina White.”

“Please.”

Lucas didn’t say anything while untying my hair. I had nothing to say so I’ll just shut up.

It took longer to remove my hair than I thought, and my eyelids kept falling down.

***

Lucas took the hair to himself and looked at the woman who is dozing off.

Selina White.

A 19 years old princess of the Duke. She was famous for having a bad personality.

The Duke, Duchess, Confucius have gentle personalities. But why does the princess doesn’t have that personality?

This woman is coveting the position of the Duke’s successor.

If it was originally aimed at the Duke, there would be no problem. But from the moment she heard this story that his brother would become the successor, the problem was that he began to use a group saying she would become a successor.

As an extension, she is metallurgically harassing his lover, Princess Ariel, who is likely to marry Aaron.

If they’ll get married, Aaron’s position as the successor will be stronger.

It was a childish kind of bullying, but the people and the duchess were not that stupid to unable to notice it.

Of course, the same goes for him.

It’s too trivial to say anything, and Princess Ariel herself says she doesn’t want to work, so she shuts her mouth…

She was also a princess who didn’t belong to the Duchess.

Lucas glanced back at Selina’s face.

However, it didn’t look like that at all. When she lost her memory… Did the whole person change?

If it was like in the past, she should be bragging about burning the whole bush.

Still, in this state, it seemed that it would not degrade the family’s dignity, so it would be better.

***

“That’s it.”

I opened my eyes in the man’s voice.

“Oh, thank you.”

Lucas smiled. It’s really Nice.

I fixed my gaze on Lucas and thought about the contents of the book in my head.

Obviously, Selina’s being 19 years old, in the winter, Lucas will like the heroine Ariel.

Lucas saves Ariel, who was waiting for Aaron in the glances of being deceived by Selina. And Ariel falls in love with him even before the incident, who leaves Aaron, who is foolishly defending him.

It is the spring of 19 years old at the age of Selina. There are still several months left until winter…

Therefore, this man still has a good view of Ariel as an academy colleague.

Until now, the reason Selina has bothered Ariel is at the level of a childish mischief, so why does Lucas live with Selina like that…?

He would only have this kind of feeling.

So, I think I can make this person mourn the funeral of Selina.

It was clear that Lucas, the exclusive knight and called genius knight, can mourn in the funeral so that it doesn’t look miserable.

Yeah. Let’s do it.

I don’t mind turning away from Selina, so I’m going to get this male protagonist to come to my funeral.

Life is quality rather than quantity. Selina, are you satisfied too?

I nodded at the satisfaction plan.

“Excuse me, Sir Lucas.”

“Yes, Princess.”

“Do you want to be friends with me?”

However, there was a fatal loophole in the satisfactory plan, so unfortunately my relationship was narrow.

Even when I was in school, I always had to run to the hospital room as soon as school was over to take care of  my sick younger brother, and the same as when I was in college. It was also the same when I was at work.

Crucially, my parents didn’t want me to make friends.

My poor younger brother was lying in a hospital room and told me that he couldn’t forgive me for  having a friend like me.

How was I in my childhood… I trembled and only looked up.

In the end, the only relationship in my life was all about the company team or the homeroom teacher who had to get the early leave.

Thanks to this, I had no choice but to learn how to get to know people and deal with them through books.

And most of the books did this.

Be my friend! okay! This feeling…

“I’m sorry but I can’t.”

Yes. The book was just a book. After all, you cannot learn the world only through books.

Watching Lucas politely, but firmly refused, I cooled down. I was thinking of burning a little passion after a long time…

I can’t help it.

“Oh, well, I can’t help it.”

“Don’t you ask why?”

Lucas looked at me with a puzzled look. He rejected it and it was shameless.

But I already gave up. It is a virtue to give up quickly.

It was annoying and I hate to ask you why.

“Yes.”

I said so and stood up with a whip on my ass. Then I went my way without looking back.

The place where I was heading was the bell tower where the dukedom stood high above me.

As I left the room and headed to the place that caught my attention throughout the walk through the garden, each employee I encountered, they bowed their heads with a long length.

It was annoying to react one by one, so I roughly nodded.

As I walked blankly looking at the bell tower, my parents’ words came to mind. It was a small memory that came to mind when I said friends.

‘You shouldn’t date people. Look at your brother. Aren’t you sorry? There’s not such a thing, isn’t? But are you… a friend? Friend?!’

‘I’m sorry… Mother…’

‘Yes, if you want to call us mother and father, do what we tell you to do. Okay? Otherwise, I’ll throw everything away.’

‘Yes… Father…’

I stopped thinking when I remembered the little girl wandering her head.

I still use the term ‘parents’ when I think of them.

In the end, they abandoned me as soon as my brother died.

I still call you parents.

So I got rejected by Lucas? My parents told me not to make friends, but I asked for friends?

I laughed for myself for being stupid.

Oh, as expected. It’s all bothersome.
