Chapter 50.2

She was not at fault. It was only her misfortune that Rafael-sama’s fiancée was me, a beautiful girl of impeccable character.

The sword that was about to swing down stopped. Cynthia’s eyes stared at me as she crumpled to the ground, protecting herself at Gilbert-sama’s feet, and quietly called my name, “Lydith..”

It was only a moment.

One of the ice arrows flickering on the floor floated up and flew straight to my chest.

I forced myself to switch body positions with Mercuris, who tried to protect me.

My end was brought about by my helplessness and carelessness. I couldn’t sacrifice Mercuris.

An icy arrow pierced my chest, and Cynthia’s and Lady Elvisa’s laughter echoed through the hall.

I wondered if this was the end.

Until now, I had accepted the end.

As a lady born into the AnneMaria family, I couldn’t afford to to show my unsightly appearance

The end must be graceful. I would not waste my time. I knew It had to be.

I have no strength in my body. Gilbert-sama took me away from Mercuris, who was crying and held me in his arms. He was looking at me with an emotional expression like Gilbert-sama is about to cry. “Lydith, Lydith,” he called my name repeatedly, and it felt good to have him hold me tightly.

“Get lost!”

I heard Rafael-sama’s angry voice. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white blade pierce Cynthia-san’s body.

Will Cynthia-san die?

I was not sure how to handle this, but I’m sure it’s a good idea. If it were possible, I would do the same.

I, along with Gilbert-sama, would like to do a little more.

I want to walk together with Gilbert-sama a little more.

“I’m sorry.”

Tears welled up in my eyes.

I lied when I said I hated him. I love Gilbert-sama. I was really looking forward to putting on my wedding dress and tying the knot with Gilbert-sama the next day.

I didn’t care if I looked like a fool. It didn’t matter if I was stupid.

It didn’t matter if it was not the way a duchess should be.

I want to live a little longer.

“I love you”

“Lydith!”

Warm liquid fell on my cheeks.

Gilbert-sama must be crying, I wanted to reach out and wipe his tears, but my arm didn’t move.

I don’t… I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die in a place like this.

I wondered if Cami-sama should have done something about it, since

he knew what Elvisa-sama was like.

I wondered if Cami-sama, who raised his daughter to be a spoiled brat because she is a goddess and was not loved by all men, is not a competent parent.

Well, I guess I don’t need to point that out now.

After all, he is someone who can enter my bedroom without permission and show up in the bathroom without permission..

If he had a beautiful girl like me, who would have been perfect as a mother, by his side as a companion, something might have been different, but Kami-sama seemed to be single, and I guess he didn’t know how to raise his daughter.

Thanks to him, the goddess had turned her blade against us, who should really be giving her free love, which is troubling.

If my life were to end here, I wonder if I would be able to see Cami-sama again.

I would not feel better if I did not complain.

“Lydith, I’m sorry about that. So please don’t look so angry.”

When I thought that I could no longer hear everyone’s voices as if time had stopped, Camisile-sama was floating right in front of me.

“It’s true. I’m sure that Cami-sama should create an environment where Elvisa-sama’s feelings can be stabilized. She should have a beautiful man in her presence at all times, or create a men’s paradise exclusively for Elvisa-sama.”

“Don’t talk about my daughter as if she were a maniac.”

“Is that not so?”

“I did not understand what Elvisa was thinking. I had thought it was Cynthia, not Elvisa, the last time I saw her. But now I finally understand. I’m sorry, Lydith. Let me give you a hand with…”

Cami-sama’s hand touched the imprint on my left hand.

“Cami-sama… I’d like to ask you about Cynthia as well.”

“Yes, I know. I’m sorry that Elvisa has messed up your destinies.”

I could feel heat from the imprint immediately he touched me.

As Cami-sama disappeared, my imprint began to glow dimly, and at the same time, a rose bloomed out of the hole in my chest, filling it.

The rose seemed to have entered my body and closed the wound.

I say “seemed” because my consciousness was darkly interrupted there.

The voices of Gilbert-sama, Astaroth, Leah, Mercuris, and Chuzel, peering around me and calling my name, echoed in my ears like forever.
