Chapter 72 Clara 2
"Now, will you explain to what is happening?"
Clara bit her lips and lowered her head. "You already heard. I want to beco the church’s holy daughter."
"Don’t give that crap, Clara. You and I know that you never liked the church." I said in an ice-cold tone. "In fact, I even thought for an instant that you hated the thought of marrying so much that you preferred to beco the holy daughter or whatever. However, that doesn’t explain why you didn’t cancel the engagent outright and instead asked to cancel it. If you truly hate , you would not have done such a sacrifice."
"..."
"Moreover, you have been avoiding for a while. You even excused yourself from attending my birthday ball."
"... I’m sorry Claus. But I can’t tell you..." Clara said with a shaking tone.
"You don’t need to tell . Actually, I already have an idea. Soone is forcing you to stop your relationship with , right?"
Clara’s body shook. She opened her lips to refute , but the words were unable to escape her mouth.
"... Was it your family?"
Clara did not answer. But her expression told everything.
For an instant, none of us spoke.
I looked at Clara and sighed deeply. "Please, can you explain to what happened?"
Clara’s expression distorted. Soon, I realized that her eyes had turned red, and tears had started to form in the corner of her eyes.
"... It happened after we were engaged. Father was pretty happy with our engagent. My family is just a normal noble family, and even if you are not the heir to the throne, you are still a prince. After we married, I would get the title of princess.
"... I was very happy. Claus, you know that I always have loved you. In fact, part of the reason father agreed to our engagent was that he knew about my feelings. The days after we were engaged were so of the happiest days of my life." A reminiscent expression appeared on Clara’s face. For an instant, her expression seed truly blissful.
But in the next instant, the bliss turned into sadness.
"My nightmare started a few days after that. One day, my father suddenly received a group of visitors. Even today, I don’t know their identities, but father treated them very respectfully. Father received the visitors in his office, and they talked about sothing. I’m not sure what they talked about, but when the visitors left, father’s face seed much older and... afraid.
"The following days, father’s condition worsened. He seed constantly worried about sothing, as though he had to take a very difficult decision. Even today, father has not recovered completely.
"Finally, an afternoon, father called to her office. He told ... He told that I could not marry you." Clara put on a bitter expression. I could see the pain and sadness she was feeling currently.
"At first, I thought he was joking. But when I saw his eyes, I knew it was true. I rember I refused bitterly. Father then raised his voice and started to yell to , but I continued refusing. Even when father threatened to lock inside my room, I refused! I told him that I would marry you even if I had to escape!
"However, when father told that our family would be destroyed if I married you, I could not keep my determination...
"That night, I cried bitterly. I truly wanted to marry you, Claus. When we were children, I dread of one day becoming your wife and having children... However, how can I put my family at risk due to my selfishness?!
"So the next day, I told father that I agreed. I rember father heaving a sigh and apologizing to with tears on his eyes. Do you know, Claus? That was the only ti I saw father crying...
"It’s not easy to cancel an engagent with a prince. Our family can’t afford to do so without a good enough reason. As such, father asked to keep a distance from you. Then, when the opportunity presents itself, He would cancel the marriage.
"A few days ago, father and I visited the Church of Order. For so reason, I acquired the goddess’s recognition and beca a candidate to the holy daughter’s position..."
Clara raised her face and looked at . Her face was covered in tears. Clara was smiling, but her smile was filled with pain and sadness. She seed as though she was going to shatter with the slightest touch.
"Actually, I’m pretty happy. Even if I’m unable to marry you, we were engaged for a while. Don’t worry Claus, in this life, I’ll not marry anyone but you. So, if I can’t marry you, then perhaps it’s for the best if I beco this holy daughter or whatever."
"Clara..." I stared at Clara with a complicated expression. I never imagined that she was suffering so much.
Actually, I realized that sothing was wrong with Clara long ago, but to be honest, I did not care. For soone like , most problems are things I can resolve by snapping my fingers. But precisely because of that, I’m too lazy to pay attention to them as long as they don’t affect my life directly.
You can say that it’s a side-effect of having lived for so long.
’’ of the fiftieth reincarnation would have acted imdiately if he had the slightest suspicion that sothing was wrong with anyone close to . But the ’’ of now is still hiding his strength simply because it’s more entertaining this way.
How la. I wonder how I fell to this state.
... Living for so long is not always good, after all.
I heaved a sigh and walked towards Clara before hugging her. Clara did not reject my hug and simply continued to cry. I felt pity when I saw her bitter tears flowing down on her face.
After a while, Clara finally began to calm down. She grabbed my arms and held them tightly.
"... I’m sorry, Claus. I love you, I truly love you..."
"No, it’s my fault. I’m the reason you have to go through this."
Clara fell silent. She rested her body against mine and smiled. "... Hey Claus, we never kissed even once, you know? Can you..."
I smiled and raised her chin. Clare put on a nervous expression and looked into my eyes.
I sighed and slowly sealed her lips.
