The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

24 – Reunion (5)

Was Yuna’s purpose of going out really just to have fun in the royal capital?

Yuuna bought the dress I chose at the dressmaker and wandered around the capital like an ordinary lady.

Of course, since she was far from the throne, it was not strange for her to spend her days leisurely like this.

However, her expression as she walked around the royal capital was not that bright.

As usual, a cold and sharp expression as if he was about to get cut.

Considering the fact that she was the rumored 4th princess, this outing was very awkward.

“Princess. “Can you please wait here for a moment?”

After silently following her and contemplating, I presumptuously stopped her and Shien.

It was probably a rude thing for an escort driver who was a commoner to do, but I stopped her and ran to the store I saw on the street.

Yuuna’s favorite snack when she was young. Among them, I chose the one made with strawberries.

If you only think about her rumors, it wouldn’t be surprising if she got her head cut off after giving her this fruit skewer.

But, thinking about her wearing the dress I saw today, I thought this might be okay.

“Huh… after… Would you like to try it? “It’s food for the common people, but it tastes pretty good.”

“… is it so.”

And as expected, Yuna ate the snack I gave her.

Shien screamed in horror when he saw that, but neither of us paid any attention to it.

Taste is not something that changes easily. I thought she would definitely enjoy it.

The next place I visited was a bookstore.

While Yuna was browsing through books, there was one book that caught my eye.

A picture fairy tale written by an author that Yuuna said was her favorite 10 years ago.

It may seem childish to read picture fairy tales at this age, but the artist’s pictures were full of our memories.

“… Driver? “Did you buy that book?”

“… That’s right.”

“Could you show me what book it is?”

“It’s a picture fairy tale.”

Shien was very nervous at first, but thanks to today’s gentle Yuna, he even started talking to me about how he relaxed.

Since I was waiting for Yuna to finish her business, I had no reason to ignore her and answered her question.

“ah! I know. “He’s a famous writer.”

“… yes. This is a writer I’ve liked since I was young. Even as an adult.”

“Ho ho ho. The driver was also, surprisingly… “Huh, huh.”

But the conversation didn’t last very long.

This is because Yuna came out after finishing her errand not long after I purchased the book.

“Have you finished your business?”

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to mind our conversation as she walked between us and left the bookstore.

And we followed her.

“actually… “I plan to gift this book to the princess.”

“… Yeah? If you do that, you’ll really lose your head, driver… !”

“… This writer. Doesn’t the princess like it too? “Isn’t he a famous writer?”

“It’s famous, but… I’ve never seen the princess watch a Grimm fairy tale like that… !”

Yuuna clearly liked the author’s novels as if she would spend her whole life reading them, but maybe her tastes have changed in the meantime?

No, I didn’t think so. Since she liked this book so much, it seemed like she wouldn’t hate this book either.

In some ways, it was inappropriate behavior for the escort driver to presumptuously give a gift to the escort.

If the knight commander had seen my actions today, he might have disciplined me.

Still, it was important for me now to be close to her.

And when I saw her today, she didn’t ignore my favor as I thought. On the contrary, I accepted it to some extent.

So I gathered courage. Yuuna would definitely like this artist’s paintings.

Even as time passes, a person’s emotions do not easily change.

And the faster you get closer to her, the better.

The more she opens her heart to me, the more pain I will inflict on her.

“… “Me, princess.”

I gave her a book as a gift.

Fortunately, she accepted the book. It didn’t even kill me.

He frowned slightly for a moment, but after checking the book, his expression relaxed again.

As expected, she still seemed to like this author.

It occurred to me that maybe he wasn’t as vicious as rumored.

She deceived me without even blinking, but even so, she wouldn’t kill someone like she would breathe.

It was a good day where I was able to set an appropriate line on how to treat Yuna.

“… Now let’s go back to the royal castle. “Call me a carriage.”

“All right.”

As I walked around, I noticed that much more time had passed than I thought and the sunlight was turning orange.

I signaled to the driver nearby and he disappeared to get the carriage.

He would probably return soon with his carriage.

-Hi…

As I was quietly guarding the carriage behind Yuna, I heard a whining sound coming from somewhere.

I wondered if anyone had been drinking since broad daylight.

“Hi… Yuna… ?”

… !

While I was feeling sorry for that person’s mental strength, the person responsible for the sound appeared.

And as soon as I saw that person, I felt like my heart was pounding.

‘Syria… ‘

This is because the identity of the drunk person was none other than Syria.

Like Yuna, Syria was clearly recognizable even though 10 years had passed.

In fact, she was easier to recognize than Yuna.

Unlike Yuuna, whose impression changed a lot, she still retained much of the same appearance as before.

Although she seemed to have lost some weight, she wasn’t skinny like Yuna.

Her face still looked the same as before, except for the dark circles around her eyes.

Although he was drunk and stumbling, his voice was still slightly playful as before.

As 10 years passed, she also grew up beautifully, but she rarely looked like she did 10 years ago.

The only surprising thing is that she was wandering around drunk from this early in the day.

“… under.”

“Yuuna… This scary b*tch… Kill me again? Are you going to kill me again?”

“Get out of here Syria. “Because it’s a day I don’t want to see people like you.”

“Kyahahahaha-! hahahaha!!”

Syria, who was staggering towards Yuna and talking to her, started laughing like crazy.

Her appearance like that was embarrassing enough for me.

I thought she too would become a villain like Yuna, because I didn’t expect her to become such a drunkard.

“You are Syria from the Ceramide Duke family… In the kingdom, you are said to be on par with the princess, but the two of you are not on good terms. Nevertheless, strange encounters occur frequently. “Every time that happens, we get nervous.”

“Princess Ceramide… “Do you often enjoy drinking alcohol?”

“It’s good if you just enjoy drinking… Rumor has it… ”

Whisper-

“Ugh… ”

Before Shien could continue speaking, something suddenly attacked me.

Normally, I would have reacted and suppressed it right away, but the reason I couldn’t is because the entity that attacked me was Syria.

“Ben… Ben-!”

“… !”

thud-

And at the words she spoke as she grabbed me, my heart dropped as if it had plummeted.

She was heavily drunk and called me Ben.

me… It meant that I recognized it.

“Ah, lady! “You have to go back now!”

“aaa!! Let go of this! Ben, Ben!!!”

But immediately, people who appeared to be Syrian servants and knights appeared and took her away from me.

But she was still struggling, looking at me and shouting “Ben”.

My heart beat faster without any intention of slowing down.

“Ugh… Ben… Ben… ! Been… “

Then, Syria suddenly fell to the floor in tears.

The sight of her collapsing and crying when she called my name was enough to make my brain stop.

“ha… Miss please… !”

“… Crazy b*tch.”

However, the Syrian workers were holding her as if they were used to it, and Yuna was sighing with an expression of boredom.

Why was Yuuna so calm even though my name came out of Syria’s mouth?

Could it be that this always happens? Does he always do that when he’s drunk?

“Ben… Ben… Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. hehehehe. hahahahaha!”

“… … ?”

“I thought it wouldn’t work…” I told you it wouldn’t work! Yuuna has no intention of marrying you? That crazy b*tch was planning on killing you in the first place! That’s right! That’s right, you crazy b*tch! Kyahahahaha

“ah… ?”

-Kyahahahahaha—!

She was shedding tears, but suddenly the corners of her mouth pulled up and she smiled like crazy and said that.

And it looks directly at me. Looking straight into my eyes.

In an instant, my heart dropped once again, and goosebumps appeared all over my body.

It was completely opposite to the Syria I knew. And even if that wasn’t the case, what she said was shocking enough.

Those words were all true. Because 10 years ago, she must have known that Yuna would betray me.

Did he recognize me and say those words?

No, I didn’t think that would be it. A more reasonable explanation would have been that the sight was just a drunken fantasy.

However, I couldn’t easily erase the shock of seeing her looking at me and saying “Ben.”

If he actually recognized me, he wouldn’t have reacted like that. The appropriate explanation was that he was doing that because he was drunk.

However, even as I watched Syria being dragged away by civilians, I could not escape the shock for a while.

It was difficult to accept her changed appearance. Perhaps even more so than in Yuna’s case.

Was it because she was like that in the first place that she was able to deceive me so horribly? Was she really that crazy to begin with?

As I slowly gathered myself together, remembering the fact that she had abandoned me, Shien opened her mouth again.

“… It’s not just alcohol. It is said that they often use medicines that should not be touched. They say this happens often, so don’t worry too much. “I didn’t say anything specifically to the driver.”

“… Is that so.”

A drug that should not be touched. Are you really talking about drugs?

If that was true, she was crazy. Yuna was going crazy in a different direction.

Since when and how long ago has she been this crazy?

It was scary to see how different it was from the past.

Also, the ridiculous thought that she might have recognized me was also hard to get rid of.

“… Never mind. “Because she’s a crazy woman to begin with.”

Even Yuna went so far as to say that.

It seemed clear that the relationship between the two was not good.

“Let’s go back.”

While I was still in shock, the carriage arrived and we returned to the castle.

But I still couldn’t escape the shock until I fell asleep.

The fact that Syria is using drugs.

She was very drunk and ran up to me and called me Ben.

While crying while calling my name, he suddenly burst into creepy laughter and laughed at me like crazy while talking about Yuna’s betrayal.

I’m worried that he might actually recognize me.

All of those scenes were a shock that could not be easily erased.

I thought I had become a lot duller over the past 10 years, but still.

“ha… ”

It seemed impossible to erase all those scenes and thoughts and fall asleep.

But that’s what they were from the beginning. Because he was the one who cruelly betrayed me.

Take revenge on them. To that end, I endured 10 years and came this far.

I had to force myself to close my eyes, just remembering that fact.

Now I really had to get used to their true appearance.

So I drew a dream in a reality more terrible than a nightmare.
