Sister, Lady Letticia is currently workingPlease wait in the meantime”
“UnderstoodIs it fine for you not to listen to what Yuri has to say?”
“Yuri wishes to speak to Lady Letticia alone”
“I seeThanks for leading the way for me”
We walked back the e came
“Sister, what just happened…”
“If you’re intending to ask for iveness for what Yuri said, there’s no needI already understand”
“Indeed”
“That’s why I want to say thisBeforehand, what you said about the position of leader of our territory: if you intended that as an apology then I’ll have to refuse”
“These are two separate topicsI just think you’re the best fit for the roleHonestly Father has been considering this already and even working on documentation to subone this far with it already
“What?”
“Honestly, I was even glad to hear your engagement cancelledAs soe loss if someone of your talent left our nation”
“You’re speaking too highly of me”
“Not at allWhy are you so vehe this? You’re the eldest and have plenty of achievements of your ownIs it just because you’re a woreat leader”
He had caught me
As a woman, I felt like I had to retreat behind the curtain
The thought filled my mind
But when so to say
Why did I think I had to reject ht about it, the less I could rationalize it
Just the justification of “this is what should happen” was enough to stopa leader is too much pressure on you, I don’t intend to force youYou’re free to leave if you really want to…”
“H yourself here?”
“After all, you’re shouldering a great burdenIf I add more pressure on you…as a brother and as your family, I can’t do that”
“Is that so?”
I inhaled deeply and asked myself
What kind of future did I want to choose?
Right now there were two paths beforeThere were countless branch routes on the latter road
“I’ll ask you one last timeYou say it doesn’t matter which side I pick?”
“YesI mean what I say”
“Is that so? Well then, BernI’ll accept the role of territory leader”
Bern laughed out loud
“Really? That’s great”
And that e arrived at our destination
Bern, Tanya, and I walked into the empty room
“Please wait hereI still have ht come over with some materialsTanya, feel free to wait here too”
“UnderstoodThanks”
After Bern left, I sank into the couch
“Is this the best course of action, milady?”
Tanya askedto?”
“The position of leader”
“YesI don’t regret itI think being able to continue down this path alongside everyone else reat for me”
“Is that so?”
