Chapter 2- The Bloden Family
She couldn’t really remember how she got home.
When she came to her senses, she was crying on her stomach in bed.
-I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s all a misunderstanding.
-There’s nothing going on.
She was a guest of his sister’s, but was naked because she spilled her drink on her clothes. (T/N: she= that woman)
Richard spewed an excuse that not even a child would have believed.
When Lilia, who was in shock, gave no answer. Richard sighed loudly and abruptly turned around.
-No matter how much you call me your fiancé, it’s rather unpleasant for you to come without calling ahead.
-I can’t believe you came into someone’s room without knocking. Why don’t you be polite first?
Rather than apologizing, Richard shed the blame onto Lilia.
Lilia buried her face into her pillow and wept.
The words he uttered pierced her body like an arrow.
My heart feels crushed.
It felt so painful that I couldn’t even sob.
Richard was Lilia’s first love.
She thought fate had made him and her one and only, as she also had a crush on him.
After all her efforts, the engagement ceremony was held.
Lilia had tried so hard to be loved by him.
When she heard that Richard liked kind and approachable people, she changed her personality.
Always smiling, trying to be a kind and amiable fiancé.
She even changed her tastes and hobbies in order to get closer to Richard’s mentioned ideal type. (P/R: Lilia my baby i’ll be your Richard)
Richard took Lilia’’s efforts for granted.
Even though she was disappointed, she convinced herself that it was because he was a quiet man, who had trouble expressing himself.
If he didn’t like her, they wouldn’t be able to hold the engagement ceremony.
But it was all an illusion.
It was a love she had cherished after giving her everything.
She thought he wanted a different side of her, but it turns out he was uninterested, and she was the only one who struggled.
From that day onwards, Lilia shed tears every night.
She tried remembering all the memories of our time together, but in the end the only thing she could remember was his face when he criticized her.
After a week, she couldn’t even bring myself to cry anymore.
Once her emotions had cleared, one thing came to her mind, one by one, each day after another.
It was always you who’d waited for me to talk.
He always looked for me only when he needed to.
He wouldn’t even say the words “I love you” without being asked.
One month passed, and all that was left after burning my emotions was a remnant of hatred.
“I would have slapped him.”
(P/R:Girl power stronk)
She was lying down, but her fever went up because she remembered about that time.
She regretted coming home like an idiot without even thinking twice.
Lilia ripped off the flowers on the pillow.
How much would it be if it was Richard’s hair.
If she can turn back time, she’ll try ruining whatever’s left at the scene.
Lilia threw the pillow and stood in front of the mirror.
The mirror reflected her bright blonde hair and clear purple eyes.
Lilia took a good look at herself.
It was strange to see herself emaciated.
I lost weight and I look sick because of my lack of blood.
It was natural because she didn’t eat properly, let alone go out.
Lilia looked up again at her face.
The lower corner of her eyes and her concave eyeballs made it good for prejudice.
There were even quite a few people who thought Lilia was an easy going person because she was always smiling.
However, unlike before, the Lilia reflected in the mirror was expressionless.
She felt very unfamiliar with herself since she wasn’t laughing as a habit.
“That’s enough now.”
How long had she lived pretending to be nice.
Even though she was angry, she laughed a lot and that killed her personality.
But she won’t be that sweet fiancé anymore.
“How much did you lose because of him?”
Not only did she lose her heart but also her money.
He probably played with girls and their money.
“It wasn’t out of consideration but favor.”
Lilia entered the dressing room while cursing at herself for her stupid past.
After a month of being in her bedroom, she was in her pyjamas.
LIlia, who had a dress hung over her,.frowned.
The dresses that filled the huge room were all accustomed to Richard’s taste.
“…I have to change my clothes first.”
Lilia chose clothes that seemed comfortable to wear, and walked out of the dressing room.
When she opened the door to the bedroom, an employee who was waiting by the hallway approached her with fustration.
“Miss…”
The employee looked as if she was about to cry.
After being stuck in the room for a long time, she was worried.
“Sorry for making you worry. I’m fine now.”
Lilia smiled a little and looked around.
“But what about your parents? Is your brother in the Imperial Palace?”
“Everyone went out.”
“Is that so?”
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since she had seen the faces of her family properly.
