Chapter 116: Chapter 116
I wish I were your shadow, so I can hang on to you casually. I wish I were your shadow because nobody will ask me to reveal myself.
Tia, don’t hate the shadow too much.
So, don’t deny the shadow too much, my lady.
If the shadow that chases you knows that, it will be very sad. If you deny it, I have to hide in the shade like a shadow and disappear quietly.
My moonlight, my love, my lady. Should I, looking at you like this, really disappear like a shadow quietly? I’ll do it if you want, Tia because the shadow that is denied by its owner will lose the meaning of its existence. I’ll do it if you want, my lady. I hope that you can be a brilliant light.
“Wow, there are a lot of people here.”
Hiding my frustration, I looked at my young lady wandering around excitedly. She was smiling broadly as if she shook off all her worries and troubles. Perhaps this might be my last date, perhaps this might be the last chance for me to be with my beloved girl alone, I couldn’t smile brightly, but no matter how hard you tried. I felt more and more empty. Although I knew that I would regret that I didn’t enjoy the party as much as I could have, even though I felt the precious time was passing by, I could not enjoy it like my lady.
“Is it fun, Tia?”
“Huh. I wish I had come here sooner. ”
“Oh, I’m glad to hear that.”
Yes, as long as you have fun, I’m okay. As long as you enjoy it, I’m okay. I’m okay because I can remember your joy. As I told you someday, I can recall all the good memories I made with you instead of the bad ones. I can only recall your smiling pretty.
I’m glad as you said it’s fun to spend time with me. I’m really glad because you can have a good memory of the last day I had with you today.
“Allen, why don’t we go over there, too?”
I nodded at my lovely lady smiling at me. Led by her as she grabbed me excitedly, I went into a makeshift tent.
I was so sad I couldn’t appreciate the play, but I found myself getting immersed in the play on the stage before I knew it. As the play progressed, it seemed like it was dealing with my story, so I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
The shadow young man who wants to take the place of his weak and stupid brother was I who want to take my brother Alexis’ position. The woman that the young man’s father chose as his brother’s bride was Tia, who my father chose as my brother’s bride candidate. The young man who loved was I who loved and longed for Tia.
I regarded myself as the young man who repeatedly sent letters to the woman. I recalled the days I wrote numerous letters to Tia when she went down to the estate. Even now when I am overwhelmed with my longing for Tia, I’m still writing dozens of letters that I will never send to Tia.
My heart was broken when I saw the young man who couldn’t confess his love to the woman.
Everyone around me laughed at him, and even my lady laughed, but I couldn’t laugh because I sympathized with his miserable feelings more than anyone else. I felt like I was like that young man. I could acutely feel how he would have felt in that situation.
“How cruel love is! When I saw you smiling and thinking of me, my heart was sweet like honey. When I saw you wearing a pure white dress for someone else, my heart was burning like a poison. Now it looks like my heart already burned and became ash. Beloved ones, be happy. I will plant the flowers of blessing for you. ”
Especially, the young man’s last message struck emotional chords.
I was like that young man. When I saw Tia smiling at me, it was sweet like honey, but when I saw her smiling at the crown prince, I felt like my heart was burning as if I had been poisoned.
