Chapter 17: Face Hidden Behind Beautiful Mask

Bang. Isaac shut the door as soon as I followed him in. The sound was very frightening. Tears sprang up in fear, but I held back.

"Sit down."

I shrank and sat down on a nearby chair.

Isaac, sighed as if he was trying to suppress his boiling anger, now that I see him, he was a mess.

His uniform was dirty, and his silver hair was unruly with sweat all over the nape of his neck.

"All right."

He finally straightened up and crossed his arms and faced me directly.

His eyes that were filled with flaring anger had already subsided coldly.

"Tell me what happened."

What's up with this man?

I gulped down my dry saliva and began explaining in a hurry.

"We were riding together and Miss Furiana asked me to compete toward the other side of the shore, so I started first along the road she told me, and suddenly something popped out of the bushes and grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me. I-I was trying to get out, but I hit my head and…… I really didn't do it on purpose."

While taking a shaky breath, I was wondering if I should say that I met Popo the monster or not, but the expression on his face was unusual.

Staring at me with glaring eyes is like…….

"Freya told me that you ran into the forest to play by yourself. Even though she said no."

"What? What's that……."

"Or did Freya lie to me? Is that what you're trying to say?"

His voice, which pressed down his anger, subsided coldly.

What the hell is he talking about?

I felt like I was hit on the head.

What is this weird feeling?

Why? Why would she do that? Just because she doesn't want to take responsibility? Because she was afraid to say she offered a match first?

No, it's not.

She obviously didn't show any hostility until today, so why would she do that?

She didn't seem to care about me, but what's with the sudden change of attitude?

She didn't expect me to be kidnapped by a monster, but she certainly showed me the wrong way.

And now, thanks to her, Isaac misunderstood me.

Freya was in a position that was incomparable to me, and it was only natural for Isaac to trust her more than me.

Once I was already labelled, and if something similar happened again in the future, I would be swept away by an absurd stigma and drowned in mud. I have experienced this before.

Why is she messing with me like this? I'm an idiot. I can do anything for her, but if she's interrupting my safe path like this…….

It was then Isaac, who was silently looking at me, who had been lost for a while, suddenly said in a subdued tone.

"You, just go back."

"Pardon…?"

"Go back to Romagna. I'll send you back without any strings attached."

……What does this mean?

Isaac agreed to marry me only to prevent Ellenia from marrying Enzo.

Everyone knew that one day there would be a catastrophe.
