Chapter 3

When I was very young, I played games without my parents knowing.

A game that was very popular at the time, which made kids my age in the classroom bored.

In the game that started with a breathtaking and nervous mind, I went to a place with a strong monster without knowing the subject.

Then I just died in a little stroke of a monster.

I stared blankly at the filming of Stan 0 in one shot, but all my emotions and interests for the game cooled down, so I quietly turned off the power.

I felt just like that now. The feeling that everything has cooled down.

Walking up the stairs of the bell tower was light.

There is a theory that when a person dies, he or she will climb the stairs leading to heaven. How would people feel when they climb those stairs?

I think I’m okay now. I’ve climbed like this in my previous life so I am used to it.

At last there was a large bell at the top of the bell tower. If I ring the bell here, will everyone run out of surprise?

That’s funny.

But imagination is only imagination.

Sorry, Selina. I think your wish will not come true.

I honestly don’t have the confidence to make people mourn at my funeral. I can’t close my eyes while the others are crying.

Did I see it before? How sweet is rejection, it seems to have been slightly cut. Aiko.

Well, living a long life will change things. I’ve struggled once in my previous life and nothing has changed.

But, Selina. You basically want your death not to be miserable? Right?

So I’ll do the best I can. To make your death not miserable. At least to avoid the ending of dying while suffering from illness alone.

After speaking a long word in my heart, I took one step by step.

Passing a bell larger than my body, I walked all the way to the end of the railing where I could see the grass underneath.

I even close my eyes after taking my hands off that trembling wall.

The sun was warm, and the wind was cool.

I am now wearing a gorgeous dress, and still some people care and love Selina as a family and a princess of this family.

Then, when everyone doesn’t leave, when they can shed tears at least as a family for Selina…

This is good enough. Great. Much better than me.

I relaxed my body. Still with my eyes closed, I took another step forward. With a sense of no path through the air, my body went black downwards.

I choose this as my second death.

At the same time, someone grabbed my arms and pulled me back.

The unfamiliar sensation I felt for the first time. I opened my eyes and looked at the person who pulled me.

“Sir Lucaf?”

“It’s Lucas.”

Lucas, who was breathing heavily, shook his head from side to side. His expression was distorted as if he was angry.

“Did you follow me?”

***

Lucas was dumbfounded. Is that the only thing to ask?

This woman was so calm, even though she was just about to die.

He maintained a calm expression as if when he was surprised again, except that he opened his eyes round as if for a while.

“Yes.”

Lucas actually saw the princess heading to the bell tower and just went her own way.

But it was a little strange,

After the accident, the princess, who lost her memory and changed her personality, said she had been stuck in her room for several days.

But why were you there alone? and why did she ask himself to be friends?

He refused to be a friend because he knew the original nature of the princess. However, the princess was too embarrassed to refuse.

It’s like ‘Oh, I just threw it once.’

What···? What? His throat was strangely stiff. It feels like swallowing something undercooked… Of course, it could be just a joke or a joke that she just threw meaninglessly…

Lucas looked back at the bell tower where the princess was heading. What’s in the bell tower?

He was reluctant for some reason. It was a strange feeling. He thought he missed something he shouldn’t miss.

When he rejected the princess, he wouldn’t have felt this way if he had any sense of regret, but because the overly numb face doesn’t look like a living person…

It doesn’t look like a living person?

Lucas turned to the bell tower and started running before he could even think.

How long it would have been, as he climbed to the top of the bell tower, he saw Selina’s back at the end of the railing.

Her long, white hair fluttered behind her back standing in danger.

And the body tilted. It happened in an instant.

Lucas jumped in haste and caught her. How breathtaking it was, his heart pounded until he turned her butt towards the bell tower and looked back.

But still, Selina’s face was calm.

***

“Princess, no way…. Are you trying to die because you were rejected by me?”

What does Lucas mean? I’ve been thinking for a short time.

So, I asked him to be my friend, but he refused it so I couldn’t overcome the heartache and tried to die… Is this a conclusion?

“No?”

Of course, he’s right that he hit my all-stans zero, but I wasn’t going to die just because I couldn’t make friends with him.

For example, even if it wasn’t Lucas who rejected me, I would have climbed this bell tower.

Would he have climbed even if it was the passing uncle next door?

Despite my answer, Lucas didn’t take a look of doubt.

Come to think of it, this man was a well-off man in many ways, and he himself knew it.

A man full of competence and confidence, who believes that he can profit from anywhere by using all his conditions.

That’s the kind of person who will understand that my actions are also because of him.

Well, in this case, I was rejected and went straight to the tower, so I thought about it and shook my head again.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Then why did you want to die?”

That’s presumptuous.

No matter how self-centered thinking and my timing problems led to some misunderstandings, this question was a little presumptuous.

Earlier, although it was impulsive, I first said,’Shall I be friends?’ and Lucas refused.

Then isn’t our relationship over? I had no intention of telling the story of every phrase to someone who I had no relationship with. I don’t think he’ll believe it.

“Are we close enough to talk about that?”

“It’s not the matter of friendship.”

I didn’t want to hear anything from this man anymore. He wasn’t a good person for useless conversations. No, in fact, just opening my mouth, it’s starting to bother me.

I just want this man to leave me or to leave me as soon as possible.

As the body pulled back, my butt pounded on the floor began to throb.

“Sir Lucas, it’s not because of you. So, you don’t have to worry about it, you don’t have to feel guilty. I’m sorry to make you misunderstand. Please leave now.”

As I stood up, Lucas’ eyes followed me. As he stumbled in the middle, he even flinched.

It’s because of you. You made my butt wince. So let’s just leave it…

“Will you jump again when I go?”

“I won’t do it twice a day. Maybe?”

I was tired twice a day.

It was easy to be ready for death, but it was not easy to do.

Even if I choose to do it lightly, I get discouraged. If death had been easy with the evidence, I would have already died around 15 years old.

That’s embarrassing anyway. I told Selina what it was, a miserable death or something.

I walked limping past Lucas, who still fixed his gaze on me.

No, my ass hurts so much. Isn’t it cracked?

I wasn’t confident to go down this high staircase. In that sense, I wanted Lucas to go down quickly.

If Lucas goes down, how can I go down on all fours…

I glanced back at Lucas.

“Hoo.”

Soon, Lucas streaked into my gaze and lifted me up.

A person who pretends to be polite or polite is holding up without obtaining the other’s consent… What’s going on?

“Are you going to take me away?”

“I don’t think someone will be here for you until night if I leave you. In the first place, why are you coming up here?”

“You saw it before. I wasn’t going to use the stairs when going down.”

I certainly didn’t intend to.

However, someone made me go down the stairs, so I decided to leave someone to carry me down.

Lucas looked at me, then sighed again and looked away.

If you keep sighing like that, the ground will collapse.

By the way, this man’s carrying skills were great.

It feels like an AX bed seeking comfort? A well-trained knight can move a person or a load so much without vibration, huh? My eyes became dim again in the comfortable sensation.

Uh, I had a desire to sleep. As expected, I’m a man of indecency.

***

Lucas looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms. He was absolutely speechless.

She got her hair stuck in the grass, asked for help, asked for a friend, tried to die and now she sleeps.

He said earlier that this side is better because she doesn’t degrade the family but now, he is taking what he said.

The old princess was better. In the past, even though her personality was dirty, she was straightforward.

But now, he can’t even guess what the princess is thinking.
