Chapter 3 (2/2)
“I–I should be the one to apologize U was me So, please raise your heads”
It was difficult to tell as the servant froize, theshe could do when the color drained froiveness
(Though I’htened them But even so, there was no need to be that fearful)
While she was in a dither, the er in a state to insert her desire to bathe alone onceto the ht she would die fro came to an end
It was already past ht when Celiastina returned to her room and was finally alone
Though one could say she returned, it was actually this Celiastina’s first ti and luxurious, and she guessed it must be equal treatment to what the royals received
But she no longer had the energy to beShe threw herself on the soft, canopied bed and sighed loudly
(I’m tired… So extremely tired……)
There were things left and right she didn’t know about her current situation, and nothing she could do about it
The thought of her days continuing on like that every day fro her old life as a si
(Ahh, but I can no longer return I—Yuna is dead Once the real Celiastina’s soul returns, I will truly be called to the other world, and then I’ll…disappear from this world)
What a cruel fate, Celiastina thought
At that time, thatabout it, she felt slightly bitter, even towards God She felt a little sorry for herself, having to spend the rest of her days tor closer However, now that things had turned out this way, inevitably there was no way she could avoid living without being constantly aware of the shadow of death She simply could not separate it from her mind She’ll die, she’ll die, without exception, in the near future……
She was also saddened over the prospect of no longer being able to see her parents
Once the current situation calmed down a little,that, she felt a bit confused Her parents were probablyparents? How in the world would they react? ——Oh, that’s right, I’ht do I have to show my face before them?
Wherever her thoughts turned to, she became depressed
Celiastina slowly turned her head around, taking in the spacious room
There was a big full-length mirror in the corner
Come to think of it, she had yet to even see her own appearance once As soon as she remembered that, Celiastina quietly slipped off the bed Timidly, she approached the mirror Nervous all the while, she stood in front of it, and slowly raised her head
——She was astounded
What—was this? Was this the appearance of a human?
Reflected in the h to describe her
She had pale, translucent skin and blue eyes that stood out in sharp contrast Straight, light blond hair reached down her back, al shape of her s eyelashes flickered each ti the eyes of other people on them
And then——at her neck the holy raved
“I–incredible—…”
She had heard rumors before
That no jewel in this world surpassed the beauty of Saint Celiastina
It had been her is said to praise the saint—but she rong It was not merely flattery There was no doubt she lived up to the ruin to co about Celiastina was that divine
“This……is Celiastina”
She remembered the scornful looks that h Celiastina was this beautiful a woman
With her good looks alone, it seeet on their knees for her, but he hated her Why……?
(——Arghh, no etting sleep, because toh)
She shook her head in hopes of changing the path of her thoughts
Indeed, starting tomorroould be difficult The current Celiastina had not a single acquaintance, while everyone around her kneho she was She didn’t even know the first thing about herself Sooner or later, the people around her will begin to look at her with suspicion But God was asking So that Celiastina’s suicide may not be noticed So that that truth may not be discovered anywhere In that case, she had to do her best in order to grant His request
The life she lived until noas over
And her latest life had just begun The girl as once Yuna closed her eyes, holding fast onto that truth
