~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account 😁😁

Chapter 15

'Just what the hell is going on in that damn sorcerer's head...?' It's been weeks since that night.

And not only has Anartis shown no sign of wanting to break up, he also decided to send me the time and setting for our next meeting.

This was a common custom to be engaged to a member of the grand duke's family, you would have to meet each other at least once each week.

And since I was the adoptive daughter of the grand duke and Anartis himself, was a grand duke.

It's no big surprise that he made time in his busy schedule for this. But it sadly is considering at that crap I pulled at the imperial ball!

It's one thing if the grand duke was to send the schedule to Anartis and inform me of it, but no. Anartis sent it.

The same man who I had put all my effort into traumatizing just the other day. And he prepared the soonest date possible.

"AHHHHH——" I screeched into my pillow while Ardeat left the room with Teehee to go take care of Vidoro's training.

The brat was getting faster now too since he's been excercising for a while now. Which was also making it harder to catch him when he began sprinting.

Thankfully, we had Teehee to make him run back with his own two feet. But that wasn't the issue right now!

"No... Let's think about this more logically." I sighed turning to my back as I stared at the ceiling as I hugged my pillow as an emotional support.

"... Maybe he wants to call the engagement off in person? That's why he set the date so early?" I considered the possibility of the desired answer.

"Hmm... There's no way." I sprung up as I tossed my pillow at the wall, time to go for a walk.

"Ugh, noooo... I've got no time for that..." I moved over to the desk in which I had kept the journal which held all my schemes.

"The brothers are also an issue right now. No matter how much I ask them to they won't even considering pulling their swords at me." I sighed deeply.

"And since they won't, I still have no idea on whether  they can even really kill me." All I knew at the moment was that I was capable of slowly healing on my own if given life threatening wounds.

Regardless, the pain is still the same. And I have no intention of going through death over and over again. And for that to not happen.

Of course I already had extra case stashed away to run away to the country side if needed. But that wasn't enough to escape death on its own.

The game's called "The String of Life" for a reason after all. And the words that lady with seaweed hair said to me still bother me as well.

I need the information to this game. It's mandatory if I want to survive. Of course that was never my intention in the first place.

But a backup plan never hurts anyone. So first.

'I need to first lay out everything I know about this game.' I opened my journal and flipped to a new empty page.

So first of all, I was in the Empire of Artes. And I was currently preoccupying the vacant seat of the Grand Duke's real daughter.

Pluvia Divinus. Who had gone missing roughly 10 years ago. And returned by the help of the high priest just as she had become 17.

'Oh, so Pluvia was 2 years younger than Sovine.' Pluvia had returned when Sovine was 19.

The duke had found Sovine near the river is what I know. She had almost drowned and was in critical condition with several life-threatening injuries.
