Chapter 3: My happy ending

Chapter 3: My happy ending



In the game, it was mentioned that Liyana harbored little to no affection for Riley, so a part of me clung to that hope when we first met-that perhaps I could slip under her radar and avoid drawing too much attention from her.

But to my surprise, she not only took an interest in me but openly displayed her affection for

me.

Haha... A part of me dared to entertain the notion of the positives that such an opportunity presented.

After all, how often does one get the chance to experience youthful love with someone so breathtakingly beautiful?

I should have been the luckiest man alive, shouldn't I?

But alas, fate had other plans for me-plans that were as cruel as they were inevitable.

From the moment our paths crossed, I was inexorably bound to her, my destiny irrevocably entwined with hers.

My fate? To meet my demise at her hands.

Hers? To either become the partner of the protagonist in this world or to bring about its ultimate destruction, depending on the path the protagonist chose.

I used to think that isekai stories were all about wonder, cheats, and harems.

But why did I end up with the short end of the stick?

Why am I stuck with the world's most powerful yandere, of all things?

It seemed like a cruel joke.

Haah... a part of me was tempted to give up, to end my life right then and there in a desperate bid to return to my original world. But deep down, I knew such thoughts were foolish, futile

even.

Especially when faced with this.

Just the sight of this neatly arranged status window in front of me filled me with a seething rage.

How in the actual fuck was I supposed to be a person destined or fated to be surrounded with happiness? And what the hell was that "Crazy Magnet" skill?

I had never heard or seen anything like it in the game.

Was it even a real thing?

The mere thought of it made my blood boil.

The notion that evil people would have a certain liking to me-well, that explained a lot, didn't it? It was probably one of the main factors as to why Liyana had fallen for me in the first place.

"You should go see her before you go. She was awfully sad yesterday when she came to visit,

knowing you would be gor

today."

I knew that all too well. After all, that woman almost tied me up in bed to never let me go. Fortunately, Mother came just in time and saved me from that awful fate.

"I'll do that."

Hearing my reply, the count smiled and patted my back before pushing me forward.

"Ah, before you go, Riley..."

"?" I turned around to face the count, curious about what he had to say.

A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he leaned in slightly. "Never cheat."

"..." I paused, taken aback by his unexpected advice.

"Hahaha, I know that look," he chuckled. "But honestly, that's probably the one thing you

always have to remember."

"Do you really think I would cheat?"

With a knowing smile, the count chuckled again, his memory of my fiancée clearly crossing

his mind.

"I'm going now."

"Take care." Stepping into the prepared carriage waiting outside the gates, I couldn't shake off the weight

of the count's words. I had two years to prepare...

Two years until Liyana entered the academy, sealing my fate.

No matter what, I had to find a way to escape the destiny that awaited me.

'My happy ending.... Don't worry we will meet soon'

"Young master, should we make our way towards the duke's castle?" the coachman outside

asked, seemingly concerned if I wanted to meet with Liyana.

"No, head straight into the city, please."

"But..." he started to say something but soon stopped, understanding the delicate balance of

expressing opinions towards nobles.

Haah... he didn't really have to worry. Knowing Liyana, she was probably already at the

mages' association waiting for me there. Going to the duchy would just be a waste of time.

Sure, enough there she was... sitting alone in one of the free chairs.

No one dared to sit right beside her; her aura of grace and beauty made people around her look

at her in awe.

Crossing her legs while sipping on some tea she read through her newspaper ignoring

everyone around her...

Where did she even get that tea here?

"Liyana..."

After calling out to her, her eyes finally landed upon me. The bored look she had just a while

ago was completely gone.

"Darling~" Her voice rippled in the empty air, making all the guys around me look at me with

lightning in their eyes.

Intentional or not, this woman was bound to be the death of me.
