Academy Genius Tamer Episode 173
Tomorrow is the engagement ceremony.
The plan of holding hands at the engagement ceremony was still in effect, so it feels more like an accident than an actual engagement… .
I can’t help but feel a bit awkward.
Complex thoughts floated through my mind.
Adela was also included in the non-disappearing thoughts.
‘I wish I wasn’t engaged.’
He gently shook off Adela.
After that, we were obligated to develop the Samsung smartphone together, but Adela did not bring up the same story to me.
On the surface, the relationship was sealed as before, but there was a clear sense of distance.
He also failed to tell the truth about his plans to break up with the engagement and flirt.
How many more lies do I have to tell in the future?
“under.”
He let out a bitter smile and sighed.
Somehow my legs are heavy.
thump.
I climbed the stairs with non-falling steps.
Won said he would stay in the square until late at night, so when he returns to the dormitory, an empty room will be waiting for him.
All you have to do is stay in there until the engagement ceremony comes, and spend the night thinking and thinking.
It’s a lonely and miserable night, but it’s bearable.
Thinking like this the day before your engagement… It’s a little ironic.
I smiled and stopped in front of the tightly closed door.
I grabbed the doorknob without thinking.
Dark darkness wrapped around his ankles.
“Well?”
The dormitory room is so dark that you can’t see clearly.
I took one step forward.
Two steps forward, I walked forward.
At first he entered the room without thinking much, but then a memory flashed through his mind.
“Wait a minute.”
I… .
Did you turn off the lights when you left?
I stopped at the same time as I felt a sense of alienation.
That was the moment.
ugh-.
The cold blade of the sword touched his neck.
An eerie feeling brushed the back of his neck.
I slowly turned my head.
“… .”
Parr.
The blade is swinging up and down seriously.
A sword with too much hesitation to cut through anyone.
Their eyes met in a room that had been swallowed up by darkness.
I knew who it was without telling me. I lowered my head to confirm the identity of the sword that was clasping the nape of my neck.
This sword now is the sword that Tae-soo Han gave me.
It is the sword that destroyed the catablam.
That sword is aimed at me now.
“you… you… .”
Adela cries and grabs her sword.
With an old sword that can’t cut through me.
Adela looks at me with sad eyes.
Even though the blade came into my neck, I wasn’t afraid.
just… .
I spoke sadly.
“Okay, you.”
I figured it out.
* * *
visor-.
The sword fell to the floor.
Adela, who lost her sword powerlessly, looks back at me.
His red, bloodshot eyes try to say something, but he can’t spit it out.
“how… why… .”
“why… why… .”
Adela swallows a cry and bites her teeth.
As if it was difficult to keep up with each word, Adela vomited with difficulty.
“Why must it be you… .”
I looked at it and said nothing.
He just looked at Adela without saying a word.
“It didn’t matter who it was. Whoever it was, I could fight. I was thinking of getting revenge somehow. It doesn’t matter if it’s Solia, it doesn’t matter if it’s Lee Han, and it’s okay if it’s Won.”
“… .”
“By the way… Why is it you?”
warble.
I didn’t want to hurt any more.
So I tried to avoid it.
Well, it was too late.
“It doesn’t matter who you are in this world! Why is it you!”
I should have cut it off sooner.
If it was going to be like this anyway, I should have been the enemy.
Just like the third-rate extra, Siha Han.
I should have walked down that road.
If so.
At least I wouldn’t have had to see such a desperate face.
“Sorry.”
I thought it all
It’s my fault that I didn’t quit even though I knew it was going to be like this.
It was wrong to try to catch it.
What was once the best choice is now the worst choice.
There was only one thing he could say.
I’m just saying I’m sorry for deceiving you.
“I’m sorry, Adela.”
Adela was even more shaken by those words.
He stumbled as if he couldn’t stand it. Eyes full of despair stared at me.
“why… why… Are you saying you know everything?”
When Adela entered this room.
I already knew everything just by looking at those eyes.
It was then that I realized what mistake I had made.
“you… You didn’t know.”
Adela stared hatefully at the sword that had fallen on the floor.
Then he shakes his head vigorously.
“you… You wouldn’t know.”
“Adela.”
“You didn’t know anything. ‘Cause I’m too young ’cause it’s not what you did You were just as young as me, so… So… never… .”
“… .”
“Don’t say you’re sorry.”
Adela’s shoulders trembled. Adela, who had been pouring out her words nonstop, collapsed.
“You shouldn’t be sorry for me.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“Because you didn’t know anything.”
“Because it’s just what your father did.”
Those words turned into a dagger and pierced my heart.
Adela wept as she looked at my swaying eyes.
Transparent tears ran down Adela’s cheeks.
“Tell me you didn’t know, Han Si-ha.”
“… .”
“please… .”
I couldn’t answer that.
Adela waited for my answer in the dark, and I had no more excuses left.
We stopped like that for a while.
* * *
on the day of the engagement.
The wagon disembarked and entered the betrothal hall.
I was lost all the time.
What happened last night was still the reason why it hadn’t left my mind.
“What do we do. I am trembling.”
“ah.”
Hearing Solia’s words, he came to his senses and turned his head.
“It’s the first time I’ve been to a place like this… .”
Solia bowed her head with a nervous face.
A pure white dress that reached to the ankles and a reddish face that was not seen in the academy. Solia’s silver hair was shining in the sunlight.
A kid wearing a dull school uniform is doing that… .
“It’s pretty.”
“uh… yes… thank you.”
I spoke quietly and looked out the window.
The awkwardly worn tie felt uncomfortable, so I touched it slightly.
As much as Solia is, I am also unfamiliar with this place.
Some academy friends also attended.
Won willingly took the time to come here.
Youn Ha-eul also expressed his intention to come to play quake.
However, Adela was not.
Of course, you can’t come.
After crying for a long time in the dark, she couldn’t cut me and turned around. I couldn’t catch Adela, who had disappeared in an instant.
You probably won’t be able to hold on to it forever.
I smiled bitterly and wiped my chin.
Outside, Tae-soo Han was having a conversation with other nobles.
Because the distance was close, I could hear the conversation quite well up to here.
Duke Becken’s voice was heard.
“Heh heh, Count. Why did you rush to get engaged? Did you have any pacts with the Arkenent family?”
“The two guys were just trying to get along.”
“Anyway, the Arkenent family isn’t like that… .”
week by week.
It’s not very pleasant to see my family go up and down in other people’s mouths.
Solia glanced at me and glanced at me.
I didn’t even know that he thought this engagement was a no-go.
You don’t have to look at me that way.
I hit the player.
“what do you think about it?”
“uh?”
“This engagement.”
We’re going to break this engagement and hold hands.
Tae-soo Han and Count Arkenent will be very angry, but that’s not up to me.
There were also numerous accidents. It is said that there is still a certain amount of enthusiasm.
However, I was curious about Solia’s thoughts.
In fact, in a way, this plan was also arbitrarily insisted on by me.
Solia doesn’t like to be engaged.
It’s been said that it’s a fucking thing, so that’s obviously true.
However, you may have been forced to do it because of the family’s needs.
Even if you don’t like it, the Castika family can be good.
I never asked for that opinion.
Even though I couldn’t tell Adela earlier, so I got to this point. Again, I may have judged my own way and said my best.
Looking back at Solia, she burst into laughter.
“By the way, I haven’t heard your thoughts.”
“… what?”
“Do you want to run away from here?”
“uh?”
Solia’s eyes widened at my words.
I looked into Solia’s eyes and asked.
“Don’t you want to get engaged?”
* * *
in a narrow wagon.
The outside, decorated almost like a banquet hall, was bustling with people, but inside, the two of them sitting alone, there was nothing but silence.
Tal Tal Tal.
In the wagon, which was rattling as it went downhill, Solia remained silent for a long time.
It was because of Han Si-ha’s word.
“You don’t want to get engaged?”
At first, I thought it was an unworkable engagement.
I even thought it was a miracle that the story came out.
‘I think it’s a very different family.’
This is an opportunity to elevate the status of Arkenent.
The power and power of the Castika family was not undesirable. However, because I was more coveted, I felt that it was an even more absurd engagement.
So when Han Si-ha wanted to break up the engagement, Solia agreed with the plan.
It was an early engagement in the first place.
It’s an engagement that doesn’t even meet the conditions, so it’s right to terminate it.
By the way.
If you look at the engagement itself… .
what was he thinking
‘I… What did you want?’
Solia looked out the window with an expressionless expression.
After an hour, you have to get out of that place with a bang.
Fleeing from here, I am going to annul this engagement now. It will force you to break your engagement.
is that what i wanted?
Solia swallowed dry saliva.
It’s a feeling I’ve been ignoring.
perhaps… .
He said that this engagement… I didn’t hate it that much.
No, I might have wanted to.
family conditions.
the gaze of the nobility.
a little early.
If you put it all down and think… .
Solia looked up at Han Si-ha and carefully opened her mouth.
“I want to.”
Be honest.
“I want to be engaged.”
“… I’m glad.”
Hanshiha nodded and spoke. It was a gracious answer without a single hesitation.
“Then let’s do it.”
“uh… huh? What… what?”
Solia stopped at Han Si-ha’s sudden words.
“Jin, really?”
I wondered if I heard it wrong for a moment.
However, there was not a single point of play on Han Si-ha’s face.
As she leaned against the carriage chair, Hanshiha calmly added her words.
“We are going to get engaged.”
A face that looked infinitely sad for a person who spoke the word “engagement”.
Han Si-ha smiles faintly and looks back at herself.
Solia couldn’t figure out why, and she was frightened.
