Dangerous Fiancee

Chapter 151

The last time she visited it, it was only a small flower garden because it was under construction,

but it was now complete, full of lots of stuff, including a cage for Poibe, tea tables, a few books and an easel.

Marianne opened the greenhouse. The inside of the greenhouse was all red and green with the sunset streaming in all over the place. Her beloved lilies were lined up, basking in the evening light. The providence of the universe, penetrating through the flawless glass, created a dark shadow after her.

"... Pretty," she consciously said.

It was a beautiful landscape, and she uttered exclamations with her mouth, but she didn't feel any happiness. Rather, her neck felt sore and chilly.

In the end, Marianne gave up on the walk. Instead, she sat down in front of the lily bed.

Although her long skirt dragged on the ground, there was no one here who would point out her behavior that didn't suit a noblewoman.

She sat down and looked at the flower bed. She recited one sentence like a spell.

"I'm okay. I'm okay. Everything will be fine."

She knew better than anyone that she would be okay just by repeating like that. Still, she repeated the same words again and again. If she didn't, she felt so stuffy and felt as if she were suffocated.

Kader, who she met in her unconscious, told her to move forward. She said it was her destiny to move forward even if she fell and broke down. She said if she fought without fear, she would protect her with Anthea all the time.

Of course, even if Kader had not made that promise, she would have been willing to move forward. She did not have the slightest intention to forgive Ober from the beginning. She never intended to retreat because of fear. This was a fight where she had no choice but to be killed unless she beheaded the enemy, regardless of whether she would retreat, run or stick it out.

That is why she strongly appealed to Kader to keep her promise. The more weapons of all kinds, the better for her.

"I'm really okay... No, I am not okay at all, but I should be okay..."

Marianne pulled her knees up and wrapped her head in the small space between her knees.

Soon, her cheeks became wet with tears.

Obviously, her life was not so sad. After she met Kader in her dream, she sometimes felt her emotions becoming less sensitive than before.

Marianne no longer struggled with sorrow like she did that evening. She never cried or got angry in and out of season. The anger that struck her like a tidal wave gradually became more subdued. She now admitted and accepted her mother's death, her father's betrayal, and the past days when she couldn't do anything.

But that didn't mean that she was okay. She was a bit less okay than she looked and she wanted to cry just a little bit more, if possible.

It seemed that there was a certain amount of sadness allotted for each person when faced with despair. She was okay during the day, but she cried when it got dark.

'It was good that I told them I wanted to be alone."

Tears dropped on her dress while she was lost in such thoughts. It would take some time for her swollen eyes to subside. She didn't want to worry the others.

She didn't know how long she cried.

The reddish setting sun disappeared, and night fell. Her wet eyes were dry for a long time.
