Chapter 31

【”Can you read my fortune?”】

【”Of course I can, that's o ahead and read her fortune Here's thethe fortune teller that he was giving her hush money to keep her quiet about the events of the other day And she happily nodded in response

【”What would you like me to read into?”】

When the fortune teller asked that question, Cornelia peeked at Kurats' facial expression and became red in the face, but she still found the will to speak

【”I-I'd like to know about my l… love life”】

It almost looked like steam was about come out of her head That innocent reaction lare at Kurats

It was not rare for her to see awith such a naive girl

With cold sweat, Kurats stared back at the fortune-teller in an attempt to declare his innocence

But even if not for that, the fortune teller was not boorish enough to start interrogating him on the spot

【”A beautiful woreat love life for sure… But let's see what the cards have to say anyway, shall we?”】

【”Yes! Please do!”】

Throughout the ages, maidens in love had always been known to love this sort of fortune-telling

And since there were no opportunities to experience it at all in a rural village like Gaura, it was no surprise that seeing the real deal in the royal capital wasCornelia's heart beat faster

While openly displaying her excitement on her face, Cornelia took a seat

Her eyes were filled with expectations and a child like-innocence that rin broadly

【”Is there any man on your mind?”】

【”Huh…? W-well… there is but…”】

Cornelia's face was looking more and more like a red tomato She couldn't answer the fortune teller in a clear manner since Kurats was in front of her

【”Then, I will pray for your happiness and give you the best reading I can irl and the one from before were both beautiful in their oays

(If he et aith it) The fortune teller swore to herself

She then ht of hand, until three cards were lined up in front of Cornelia

【”The high priestess in the upright position, interesting You seeence to think things through That's not a mistake at all, but when it couide you If you let only your logic decide for you, you'll let opportunities pass right under your nose”】

【”R-really―?”】

Cornelia's shoulders slu the fortune teller to comfort her

【”You were excited earlier, weren't you? Please hold on to that feeling, alright? It's okay, you have not lost yet”】

【”…Alright!”】

Cornelia happily nodded

Although Kurats did not knowspecial to it that could captivate a woht position This sys You are like the fool who is not aware that he is heading towards a cliff However, if you jump down that precipice, you can start a new life So, if you happen to reach a ‘cliff', it will do you no good to hesitate”】

【”But what if I have to discard the life I've had so far for it?”】

【”That's what starting a new life means What you have to ask yourself is whether you have to resolve to jump off the cliff for the sake of your love”】

【”―― I understand”】

Deep down, Cornelia are of her inability to step forward

Hence why the fortune teller's words were echoing loudly in her heart

【”The last card is… The lover in the upright position? I' to have it hard…”】

【”I-Is it a bad card?”】

The fortune teller's surprised tone ood card for the fulfillether with a strong card like the sun or the high priestess, that often means that there will be many temptations around your love interest”】

Cornelia instinctively glared at Kurats

By reflex, Kurats shook his head froain

That scene h escape her before she proceeded to tease Cornelia

【”Could it be that he's the person you were referring to?”】

【”T-that's…”】

Cornelia's whole body reached the same shade of red as her face

This was probably her li words

The fortune teller could not help herself froirl

【”Please do your best If you take the initiative and hold on to it with a strong resolve, you will surely pave your way forward”】

【”Thank you!”】

Noticing the fortune teller's implicit support, Cornelia cheerfully bowed her head

She wanted to try now
