Surviving As The Protagonist
Chapter 55: The Troubles
He thought to break up this commotion by acting first so that if there was a problem that arose to him, then Sheyra who would still be blamed.
At least, all I can do now is just act pitifully..
“I don't know.he dragged me into the forest.then alleged that from the beginning I never forgot the memory. But isn't his word evil? If indeed I have experienced a bad situation, it should forget the incident is the best way for me not.” to be honest with a hoarse voice. His heart was so bitter that Federica was filled to embrace him.
Their faces looked gloomy and annoyed when they heard all the statements Lucy made to them. The girl just bowed with her dear look.
“Before Miss Sheyra always talked about the events that happened in the hunt last year to me. Inexplicably her words even evoked some bad memories that I never wanted..” mess up the girl with her glassy brown netra. Lucy looked like she wanted to cry but with all her might she held her back.
It was just acting, everything was just a mere charade. He felt that acting like this was very beneficial for him. Some of the things she said were a form of anticipation if Sheyra would accuse her of a no-no.
Like Sheyra being trapped in the woods because Lucy left her, or Sheyra getting hurt and falling because Lucy pushed her into a ravine or some other rotten plan. Hence he thought before Sheyra said a no-no, he would have to be one step ahead to get a stronger alibi.
Even Lucy doesn't remember anything about it. But if you look at the nature and appearance of their faces that currently feel so worried about him, it means that Sheyra's hypnotic magic is really weak.
“Gosh! Miss Sheyra has gone too far!” scowl Gracia with an unhappy look.
Actually Lucy wanted to laugh seeing the worried faces of those who were incited with her pitiful acting seduction. It seems like weak acting like Sheyra is not so bad.
“Young people today do like to look for attention yes.” whispered the noble ladies who just sit back in their seats.
Indeed, this hunting event is dedicated to welcome young couples to compete to be the best couple by giving the title of honorable woman to her partner. But that does not mean there are rules where those who are old are not allowed to participate in this event. It's just that the competition is more precisely delegated to a young couple.
I don't need the old nobles' mercy, because just being close to Princess Halstead's master is already quite profitable for me~
What is Sheyra doing now?
“I don't know where Miss Sheyra is now. At that time I just wanted to go and go back to this place. But it seemed like he turned around and went in the opposite direction to me. I plan to follow him out of worry, but the forest is a bad place for me.” he said in a trembling tone as if channeling feelings of fear to those who were embracing him warmly.
The Lady was now busy whispering towards him, it seemed like they were only questioning that there was a dispute especially between them. It seemed like there was no end to the two of them in making a fuss. The first was Sheyra herself.
“So forgive me for not following Miss Sheyra...” the girl is now just crying accompanied by her two palms raised to cover her face, even though her tiny lips display a sly smile.
Marchionest Sylvhia Theyril only sighed while shaking her head a sign that it wasn't her fault. To calm Lucy's feelings, she patted the girl's back gently. “It's not Miss's fault, Miss herself will have trauma with this place, if some of Miss's memories have returned. You must be depressed. so do not feel guilty so.” the disclaimer that now displays a thin arch on his lips.
Federica seems to agree with him, he also now leads Lucy to rest immediately and sit on a chair. The feathered scarf she wore earlier is now given to warm Lucy's cold, trembling body.
His eyes were slightly widened when he heard Federica's soft words that usually never act by involving feelings. Like her Duke Princess, she usually only thinks and acts rationally. But if you look at the changes that soften like this..
Did I manage to take her heart?
Unfortunately this warm situation turned into an uproar when Sheyra came back to them in her beautiful dress that became tattered, not forgetting her broken sobs.
He limped even to the point of almost staggering down to approach those who were busy comforting Lucy's feelings.
“Nona Lucy...” her softness that is now staggered right in front of Lucy's feet. Her blue dress looks dirty filled with dirt and grass attached. His feet were visibly injured from stepping on a tree branch without using footwear.
Sheyra's situation looks really bad. What exactly happened to him? Is this just a pure accident? Or is Sheyra actually carrying out her other plans?
The idea is completely insane! What else is he planning?
Seeing Sheyra who suddenly came in injured condition then instead called out her name, it was enough to make the others whisper and wonder if this had anything to do with Lucy? The sight of those questioning this truth somehow made Lucy grimace.
But rather than the situation will get worse, Lucy deftly hugged Sheyra accompanied by sobs that broke along with a feeling of relief because Sheyra had returned alive.
“Sheyra?! You worry me, what really happened to you? Hiks— thankfully you can return to this place.” lirihnya accompanied by a very grateful feeling, even though his heart curses with annoyance.
You must be trying to accuse me, right?
Brakk!
“Good once you! I know that I used to have poisoned Miss, it was because I was also threatened! How could Miss take revenge on me by waking up an albino monster in the forest?! I was half dead trying to run away from her pursuit to save myself?! But how could you do teleportation magic to leave me. hiks.” he cried with a broken heart until he pushed Lucy's body away from him.
Tears still flow on Sheyra's white cheeks, so all eyes are now only on Lucy who is considered to have harmed Sheyra in the name of revenge.
Wait.. why are they easily persuaded by unclear opinions anyway?!
Troublesome noble base.
