Chapter 364

TL: Zimmings

He looked at me silently. Without breaking through those men and frowning at me.

Rather, I narrowed my forehead.

“Why don’t you say anything?”

“.......”

“Adrian.”

At my words, people’s 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.

“I’m happy to see Adrian, but the priority is for her to accept my bonquet. I like you, Leblaine. Be my wife.”

As East spoke, the others were also clamoring.

“You know how long I’ve been watching you.”

Hayton too,

“Give me a chance this time.”

Storas too,

“If you and I hold hands, we can embrace this continent.”

“If you want, I’ll be the son-in-law instead of the heir to the Grand Duke!”

Both Jin and Lionel offered me bouquets, but Adrian just looked at me.

I was grumpy for some reason.

‘Why? No, I know why I’m grumpy.’

Let’s be honest.

I don’t want to see Adrian give up on me for any reason now. Even if it’s for me.

‘It’s obvious what’s going on in his head.’

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, “I don’t want to live in the empire.”

If I marry him, of course I will move to the empire.

Knowing how much I love Dubblede, he couldn’t let me move away.

I stared at Adrian.

“You are a man with a weaker will than a sea cucumber!”

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.

“Leblaine?”

“Ki-kid.”

Everyone was surprised because I was so angry in front of them.

I turned my back with a huff.

Adrian’s voice, who had only been staring at me until now, finally came out.

“Then what should I do?”

“......What?”

Turning my head, I saw Adrian’s eyes clouded.

“You’ll be happier here. Those who propose to you are all people that can leave. They can be with you here.”

“So? You can’t leave, so if I accept your proposal, I have to leave Dubblede forever?”

“......Yes.”

I stared at Adrian fiercely.

“Coward! Dumb! Fool! This @#$@#tard @#%@!”

Then, everyone was startled when my swearing came out. Only my mother covered her cheek with one hand and muttered, “That side of hers looks like me.”

I said,

“Enough. I have no intention of accepting the proposal of a coward like you.”

“Leb-”

“I!”

I screamed and glared at Adrian.

“I want a man who tells me that no matter how hard is it, we can overcome it together.”

“.......”

“I want a man who wants to be with me even though it might hurt me.”

While everyone was quietly looking at me, East and Lionel shouted, “That’s me!” .

I looked at Adrian without paying attention to the two.

“Go back. You’re a precious person who will become the Crown Prince. I will remain in Dubblede waiting for a brave companion-”

As soon as I said so, Adrian strides toward the center.

He passed by the men and grabbed me.

I stared at him questioningly.

“Gasp!”

“This person......!”

“Let go now!!”

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, “Oh my, oh my,” but my brothers were shouting.

“Hey, that crazy...!”

“Adrian Louerg!”

“Enough, Leblaine and me will marry.”

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.

And...

“You’re really bad. You naughty kid...”

“How could you propose to another man in front of me who proposed to you... you trampled on this man’s innocence!”

The men who proposed to me left the castle crying.

To be exact, East and Lionel did.

I smiled and saw them off.

“Goodbye! Find a good girl!”

Seeing the excited me, Jin smiled sadly.

“You may regret it.”

“Will I?”

“Yes. I’m a better guy than you think. We’d get along pretty well.”

“In this life, I have decided to put my regrets in Adrian’s arms.”

Jin chuckled, took my hand lightly and kissed the back of my hand.

“I wish you happiness. The strongest Shutala (warrior) I’ve ever seen.”

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.

‘Is the wound deep?’

Feeling a little sorry, Hayton paused and said,

“Even if it’s an affair, I’m fine.”

“Can’t you go?”

When I said that, he muttered.

“If you have a next life, give me a chance.”

“......Okay.”

He looked at me, so I added.

“I’ll give you a chance around my tenth life.”

“Damn.”

“It means to let go. Because I will never go to you.”

“...You don’t have to do that.”

So he left.

‘And all that’s left......’

When the men left and the last one remained, Boone and Pur said.

“It was too much for Storas.”

“Yes, child. We know how much he has loved you since ancient times...”

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.

“Are you going now?”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to come back?”

When I asked, he looked at me.

“I won’t come forever... ...forever.”

I answered.

“Okay.”

“.......”

“.......”

I didn’t know that Storas’ gaze would be on me. I recalled the ancient him who called my name happily.

“I know you don’t like that name, but let me call you one last time.”

“......Okay.”

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.

“Meria...”

“.......”

“Meria.”

“.......”

“Meria. ...Meria.”

I didn’t 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.

“Next time, next time I...”

“It’s a meaningless assumption.”

“It’s okay. I’ll stay forever.”

“.......”

“I’ll wait for you who will be reborn, the next you, and the next you...”

“.......”

“Meria.”

“Thank you for loving me.”

He covered his eyes with one hand. I pretended not to know that his tears was flowing through his knuckles.
