I Think My Fiancé Has Regressed

Chapter 0: Prologue

It’s the end-of-year ball of my second year at the Academy and the inevitable was finally upon me.

“Ariana Anastasia.”

Prince Alexandros’ eyes were filled with determination as he looked at me.

The young lady at his side, glaring at me, also smiles quietly, as if she’s been waiting.

“Yes.”

Silently bracing myself for what was to follow, I answered calmly, pretending not to be nervous.

“I take this opportunity to declare.”

And with that, it’s all over.

Today, I am destined to break off my engagement to my fiancé, Prince Alexandros’, and be expelled from the Academy.

And perhaps I will be banished from my family, House Anastasia, and thrown out into the streets, naked and alone.

“Go ahead, Alexandros.”

It’s okay, I’ve already done my homework.

Even if the duke’s daughter, who had nothing, ended up on the street, a way to hide my identity and live was already created.

Contrary to the original plan, I ended up attaching myself to the academy and family, but I cannot go against the fate of the existing world.

I have no choice but to accept it.

“Ariana Anastasia….”

I am breaking off my engagement to you.

As I waited for the response, I prepared myself to post my final words to my fiancée.

“…I will never betray you again.”

“I understand, Prince Alexandros. Thank you for everything…yes?”

As I was about to utter my prepared greeting, I realized something wasn’t right.

Looking up and around, I realized I wasn’t the only one who was puzzled.

With my heart pounding in my chest, I managed to steady myself and answer the pairs of eyes that were looking at me.

“…Did I hear you wrong?”
