CHAPTER 23

Freedom...it's hard to achieve for many. Especially those who had their entire life planned out for them already

The beloved Selene Le Von Eclat...the moment she was born, her fate was decided already

"What a blessings the Gods have graced upon us!"
Priests and Saints surrounded baby Selene, staring at awe at her glowing blue hair, feeling the huge amount of divine mana seeping from her. Ever since the reveal, lots of nobles wanted to meet her

All her life, she was expected to be perfect, beautiful as a porcelain doll, intelligent, and powerful as well. Getting the best education and the best trainers, she was known as the jewel of Obelia at an early age

"What do you mean I can't make Lady Selene marry my son?!"
The emperor slammed his fist on his armrest of his throne

The head of the Eclat Dukedom bowed in front of him while trying to explain

"Your Majesty...a few years ago, we have received a prophecy. The prophecy tells us that the house of Alpheus and Eclat will be connected with one another. Which means marriage between our children. If my memory is right, the Alpheus Dukedom had a son only and because of that, Selene will be engaged to their son according to the prophecy. I apologize for rejecting your offer of proposal Your Majesty, but the prophecy has spoken"
The emperor sighed in defeat, it is indeed true. He might be a powerful emperor but his power is nothing compared to the Gods

There is nothing he could do. It's a shame that he couldn't have a future heir that is a combination of the powerful royal mana and the divine mana inside Selene

"Selene, this is Roger. Your fiancee"
The head led his arm for her to look at where it's pointed. Pointed at the boy the same age as her

"G-greetings Young Master Alpheus..."
Selene had a small blush on her face due to her shyness. But it got worse when Roger took her hand and kissed the back of it

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Young Lady Selene"

"They look so good together"

"Look at those two. Now that is how fiancees treat each other"
Everyone stared at the two young couples together. They look like a couple that you can call 'Puppy Love'

But there was one thing they never knew about Selene. She might be considered a jewel of Obelia despite not having a royal status, a saintess with a golden heart, the perfect lady everyone wants to be...but there was one thing everyone forgot...and that is that She Is Still Human. She can feel anger, envy, sadness, she has her limits. She might be raised lovingly, but her whole life, she was raised to be perfect as well, expected to sprout as beautiful as a flower

She endured and endured every second, every minute of pain of not being treated as a human being...

Even Roger, she knows he only acts like a good fiancee for her status. He never once asked how she truly felt and it pained her. She was indeed in love with him despite knowing that he will never feel the same way as she did

And she is tired. She was used her entire life. Seeing the future, she knows she'll die..and she knows how she'll die as well. But she was never scared of death, death...was like a friend to her, because only in death, will she be in peace
