CHAPTER 2: WHAT MADE ME FALL INTO DESPAIR.
I, born as the duke's daughter, have kind and gentle parents, an adorable brother and is surrounded by good-hearted servants――I am someone who is raised in a treasured environment. Though I'm a bit selfish, I innocently dreamed of marrying the prince in the future. Until that time...
That day when I remembered, that scene. This happy days of mine will be over in ten years time. In an otome game, I am someone the villainess noble... ...That's right in a not so far future. Bullying the woman that the crown prince loves, condemned and then have my engagement annulled. While being surrounded, I'll be condemned by all the capturable targets. That's the dreadful future that I'll be facing. Though, to be honest, I didn't seem to have that much of regrets with the Crown Prince. Since it hasn't been long since we met each other and got engaged, and of course we weren't that close, that's why knowing that in the future, I'll be head over heels for me is absolutely unthinkable. In fact, the scene that I couldn't take was the situation after the campus scene. Being condemned, annulment of my engagement...in that beat up state what awaited me from home are the cold gazes. I was yelled at by father, mother was hysterically crying, deprived of my social standing and then expelled from the mansion...even right now I can still see it in my dreams. Even though they were all smiles, just this morning and were saying kind words. But after having my engagement annulled, the gazes of the servants were averting mine. That immediate change in their attitude amazed me. The reason why they care for me is not that they like me... I was just there as a useable pawn for the royal family, that's why they were favourable of me. Upon knowing this when I was seven, I cried and cried... ... until I was an empty shell. And by the time I was aware of it, Mother's eyes have dark circles. After several days, the me, who woke up, started crying with tears of happiness. I see...so she was worried. ... ...Well if the pawn they're preparing for the Royal Family got broken, it will trouble them. Suddenly I found everything quite hilarious so I started laughing...I gave up on everything. *************** Since that day when I was seven, the scene which made me fall into despair will start to unravel from now. In front, of the familiar dignified door of the mansion, I took deep breaths. It's gonna be fine. I've seen it many times in my dreams, that's why I was prepared long ago. About me being exiled, I've done a lot of simulation already. Calm down, and properly accept it. Though it's saddening...as long I get over this, I'll be free. While telling that to myself, I opened the door. Inside, there is the solemn expression and the already, tear-streaked face of my mother.
