I Was Given a Political Marriage

43 – The Choice of Destiny (Complete)

“What do you mean leaving…”

“No, it’s only now, Xian.”

My head wasn’t working properly, probably because I went through so many things in one day.

It was easy to know what the situation was, and Scarlett’s sincerity added to the confusion.

“No… why?”

“Look at that fire. If we run away now, no one will care. And even if that woman gets up, she won’t be able to find her because of the footprints she made while trying to clear the fire.”

The more I saw Scarlett’s bright smile, the more my head hurt like crazy.

‘No, I can’t go. What about the child?’

Follow her and your freedom will be guaranteed. You can find the freedom of a poor but happy commoner, not the life of an aristocrat who is difficult to breathe.

However, my body is not a body that I can leave just because I want to leave.

I had a child, and I couldn’t bring misfortune because of me.

“Sian, think carefully. You can leave now. You are not a bird in a cage, you can fly in the clear sky.”

“But… ah, a child.”

“…”

At the mention of a child, her gaze naturally drifted to the side.

Scarlett is not heading towards Irene, who is fainting right now.

He looked down at her and gave her a ferocious look.

If you leave it like this, it’s an atmosphere where anything happens. For some reason, I stopped by dragging Scarlett’s hand.

“No, I don’t know what you’re thinking… don’t do anything weird.”

“Sian. If it wasn’t for this woman… no, we would be.”

“Scarlett…”

I blocked the way so that I couldn’t get any further. Scarlett seems to be out of her mind now.

“I… I really like it. Why can’t I always have it? That girl has everything. You can give me one, right?”

“…”

“It’s too much to take everything just because I was born in a good place.

“Scarlett…”

“I really don’t need anything. Money or fame… I don’t need anything material like that, I just need you, Xian. You want to be with me too!”

The sight of Scarlett shedding tears as she let out all her resentment was like seeing a child who was falsely accused.

Everything is sincere, and although it is difficult, the anxiety of not being able to reach the truth. And she was still lamenting the world over not being able to have it.

‘Eileen is…’

I wanted to soothe the crying child, but I knew I shouldn’t go any further.

“Please…come with me. I will make you happy for the rest of your life, Xian.”

“But… the child.”

“draft…!”

It was Scarlett who knew best that they could no longer be together after having a child.

Then, as if he had nothing to say, he silently held my hand.

I tried a little resistance to the hand that took me by force, but the difference in power existed.

A woman who trains rigorously to become a knight and a man who has lost his muscles.

Scarlett was on the bigger side than me, so even if I kicked the ground with my foot, it would just stray like a reed.

“It’s okay, anyway… I’m going to do what I want from now on.”

“Scarlett!”

His eyes widened at the force he felt in his hand.

Even so, I didn’t relax and stopped walking any further.

If I go further than this, Scarlett and I will both be seriously hurt.

“draft…”

And the little voice behind me while I’m fighting for strength.

Aileen calls my name with difficulty, as if she is slowly coming to her senses.

“Don’t go… Xian. No.”

“Sian, come on! There’s no time!!!”

It was as if the voices of the two were piercing both my ears and shaking my brain.

If you don’t put an end to it, the thread will become so tangled that you won’t be able to break it.

And I gave my strength and shook off Scarlett’s arm, just like that… .

match! He slapped her on the cheek in the name of coming to her senses.

‘Sorry.’

I closed my eyes and apologized to her, widening my eyes as I looked up at Scarlett.

I can’t believe that I hit him, but he blinks and touches his cheek.

“Come to your senses. What’s love in being forced to run away? And… did you think I’d enjoy my freedom if I ran away, leaving my child behind?”

“draft?”

“Don’t get me wrong. Now that it’s over, you should know how to give up. In the first place, I…”

I am.

“Because I had a fiancée from the beginning.”

It was Eileen’s fiancé, who belonged to no one else.

“Isn’t it? It’s not… Xian, why are you?”

“Think carefully, what do you think will change if you run away like this? If you run away, everything will disappear along with your dreams.”

And even if we run away, we will be dead the moment Eileen finds out.

No matter how talented Scarlett is, she will not be able to avoid the eyes and ears of high-ranking nobles.

If I get kicked out, let alone me, Scarlett’s life won’t be guaranteed.

For the sake of her life, she had to break the futile dream.

It was time to wake up from a happy dream, put on new wings, and fly.

“If you do this one more time… I will hate you for the rest of my life, Scarlett.

“Ahhh!!!”

I sat down on the ground in despair as if my words had destroyed the last of her mentality.

Then he stared at me with bloodshot eyes and tears welling up.

A miasma like a terrifying venomous snake. I couldn’t tell if the meaning of those eyes was hate or sadness.

However, the important thing is that I no longer reflect as those eyes become blurred.

“Eileen…Let’s go to the health room first. You drank a lot of smoke earlier. You have to worry about the child.”

“Yes… I love you Xian.”

side. He kissed me on the cheek while I was helping him.

“If you know, walk around. He’s taller than me, but he’s tough…”

“Okay, because this is the last time. I’ll do everything once you get married.”

I glanced at Scarlett, who was sitting on the floor, and left the place.

‘Sorry. And live well, Scarlett.’

In fact, I should have cut it off like this before her affection grew any bigger. If I had been a little more determined, we wouldn’t have hurt each other.

“Cyan eyes… No. Let’s just go quickly.”

“why?”

When I woke up, I felt something hot flowing from my eyes.

When I raised the corners of my eyes to force myself to endure it, it came down along the line of my jawline.

“Just. I love you Xian.”

“me too.”

That’s how we disappeared, receiving the blessing of the moonlight.

***

After that, the academy fire incident was quickly calmed down, and an investigation into the incident began.

It is said that the fire was caused by coincidence of coincidence.

There was a commoner who brought oil and sprinkled it on the floor to play a trick on the dormitory, and it was the product of the recklessness of an aristocratic cadet who secretly smoked in the hallway.

I still laughed thinking that such a huge thing started with the beginning of an absurd incident.

The cadets whose dormitory disappeared had no choice but to take a leave of absence, and we were able to leave the academy by applying for early graduation.

‘I won’t be able to meet Scarlett anymore.’

Thinking of not being able to see her completely now, the deep feeling of sorry in her heart only grew.

I didn’t know it at the time, but when I think about it again, he’s my first love and the most unfortunate person.

“Sian. What are you thinking?”

“I just… thought about the old days.”

Eileen, who came to me, was wearing a white dress because today is a special day.

A pure white wedding dress like a beautiful angel. I knew at once that the slightly convex belly really had the fruit of love in it.

“Now get ready, isn’t it a wedding soon?”

“Yes. We should prepare slowly.”

I tidied up my tuxedo again and stood next to her.

Standing side by side with her, holding hands with rings on them, we headed to the place where the guests were.

When I go outside, I see beautiful roses shining with the sunny sunlight.

And it was only when I smelled the scent of the flowers that I truly felt that I had become the main character of this wedding.

“Groom and bride entrance.”

“Let’s go, Xian!”

He stepped on the red carpet while receiving cheers from the guests with his hands clasped together.

Originally, the family heads should have guided us, but we appeared holding each other from the beginning with the intention of carving out our own path.

The engagement started as an arranged marriage, but the determination to go through the end together.

It was the day I became a husband and father of one person while burying what had happened.

“The groom… will you swear?”

As expected, the most important part of a wedding, but the boring oath.

Even though I knew everyone would agree anyway, the process of asking again felt cumbersome.

However, even though he felt annoyed, he did not reply in a half-hearted way, and did his best to speak clearly.

“Yes, I will assist my bride, Eileen Estes, for the rest of my life.”

“Then, the two of you wear them to confirm your love for each other…”

Before the celebrant could finish speaking, Eileen put her hand on my back and slammed it into my mouth.

A sticky, intense kiss. Her tongue, which had already been practiced with me for a long time, was the strongest that no one could compare.

“Kuhmm… This is the end of the vow. From this moment on, the two of you became a couple, and I will guarantee that you will spend your whole life together and share love.”

“Sian, I’m so happy right now, it’s like a dream.”

“…Me too. I’m confused if this is a dream.”

I just enjoyed this moment, holding Eileen’s hand tightly.

Although I got married. In the end, he finally understood her and gave up everything.

“I love you. Eileen. hahahaha… I think I said it first?”

Today’s Aileen looked so happy that it seemed like it would be remembered for the rest of her life.
