"Why you ask…well because I think it's best for both of us?"
I couldn't quite discern why Laila had such an expression even though she must have no feelings attached to , given how my previous self used to act around her.
In order to hide his true emotions, my older self constantly said so rude things and always ended up insulting Laila for one thing or another.
But then why was she making such a face?
Maybe because it's her first ti getting rejected or has she grown so feelings , unlike the plot I read? Just like the maids in the mansion.
But I leaned on the first option since I didn't want to take this relationship any further. Her having any kind of affection for is quite highly unlikely anyways.
And even plot has shifted before my transmigration, it's best Laila stick around the Hero so I can avoid unnecessary attention in the future.
"B-But you never took my consent… "
Now my heart which had relaxed for a bit started throbbing again, this ti a little more painfully. Her ta and defenseless expression must be the trigger.
For a second, I thought to confess the love Seth carried for her. The affection he always had for this girl and telling her how much obsession worthy she is.
Maybe this could be my parting gift to the previous holder of this body. Sothing which the original Seth wasn't ever able to do?
But I held that urge.
Confession would lead to unnecessary drama of her reluctance from this annulnt. She would beco conflicted about this relationship and might try ways to find so reasons for not breaking the engagent.
I may be overthinking things but that's how developnt starts.
And I am not looking forward to any heavy relationship at the mont. Well, of course, there's one exception to whom I won't be applying this ideology.
But for now, I better wrap this up.
"Listen, Laila. We don't share any kind of emotions and I don't think you would be happy to marry such a man who never considers your feelings, right?"
Her gaze fell and face visibly darkened but I guess it must be the surprise of events that is not letting her think about what she has gained from this annulnt.
"Then if you'll excuse ."
I didn't wait much before I took my leave. I have a lot of things to do at the mont to not get suspicious and live my way out of the plot.
I don't have a single idea what Laila has been thinking but I assu that her death flag has been set off completely.
She can now pursue her love for Arata and won't weigh down with the displeasure of being attached to .
And at this point, it is highly unlikely I would cross paths with Laila much…

"My lady?"
"Hmm?"
As Seth walked away after dropping an entirely unexpected news, Laila fell into a stupor for a long minute.
It was then her maid stepped forward and called for her lady in concern, which brought Laila back to reality.
Dazedly she gawked at the place where Seth departed while circling her finger around the edge of her teacup.
There were various things surfacing in her mind and making her chaotic which led her to make a decision.
After a long thought, Laila utter under her breath that her maid was only able to comprehend.
"Can you keep an eye on him, Caroline?"
The listener's eyes widened upon hearing such a request from Laila since before today, Laila never asked anything like this from her especially related to that man.
"M-My lady…?"
Laila heard the stutter and she could understand the reason for such a response. Turning her soft gaze toward her only trustable maid.
"This request is purely to lessen my guilt, Caroline. Please help with this one."
Caroline understood what her lady's unspoken intentions were. She suspects that there's sothing or soone for whom Seth has broken this engagent and her lady wants to know the reason so she doesn't bla herself for all this.
Knowing her lady's personality, she must be thinking that it's her fault that Seth took this decision that's why…
"I understand, my lady. I will report to you before you leave for the vacation."
