Chapter 158 – Chapter 158: Maurice’s Confession (Leuclide)
“That is… Is it true?”
Snow White opened his eyes wide and looked at me.
“Okay. There is no lie at all.”
“This world is the world in a novel…”
The trembling eyes of her represented her feelings of her.
Confused bewildered.
Seeing me, she looked around again and asked me.
“Are you saying this, where I am, is also a scene from a novel? Did you see Maurice-sama having a conversation like this?”
I shook my head.
“You weren’t there in the novels I saw.”
“I wasn’t there…”
She wandered around her room for a while, pursed her lips.
Her silver hair fluttered in the sky.
“That’s too bad. I wanted to ask Maurice about my future.”
“Do you believe?”
“Believe it or not, I wasn’t on my candidacy. After all, I’m Maurice’s wife, aren’t I? The Kruys say to have absolute faith between a couple.”
“…”
“And I already thought Maurice made the future of our tribe brighter and stronger. This belief does not change. Whether Maurice came to our world outside of the novel or not, it doesn’t matter.”
Snow White sat on my lap.
“As Maurice-sama’s wife, I only serve her Maurice.”
“Snow White…”
“If you think about it that way, aren’t we a match made in heaven? If Maurice is from outside the novel, I am from outside that barrier. I have no reason to blame Maurice. Just…”
Snow White hugged me.
Her hair brushed the tip of my nose.
A soft snow-white scent.
“It’s just a pity that I didn’t hear that confession the first time.”
Snow White gave me absolute trust.

Remilia had the same reaction.
It’s just that the question you asked me was different.
“If this world is just a world in a novel, why did you protect the elven forest so desperately?”
I had to keep
Because I needed it
And the sincere confession moved Remilia’s heart to her.
“That’s enough.”
“Is it?”
“Okay. I thought you were going to break up with me while talking about the world in a novel.”
“Why would I do that?”
I stroked Remilia’s cheek.
“This beautiful elf is my wife.”
“Are you doing this to the other young ladies too?”
I didn’t answer.
“Do you not like this word?”
“Really… You are a problem because of this.”
Remilia wrapped her arms around the back of my neck.
As if clinging to me, she hugged me and kissed my cheek her.
“That is my charm.”
Remilia’s chest her smelled like flowers.

Now, only one person left is Ruclid.
Because of Cecilia’s history, it was not easy to talk to her.
“It’s been a while.”
Cecilia came to me while I was just thinking.
“What’s going on? Did Emily bully you?”
“Please. She does a really good job.”
Cecilia smiled bashfully.
The meaning of doing well may mean many things.
“Then did you come to eat chicken and beer together?”
Cecilia shook her head.
“I came here because I thought I would have met the minister.”
“Ah… You mean spirits.”
“Yes.”
“How did you know?”
“I told you. That spirit. I heard that something really interesting will happen.”
“It’s fun… That’s what they said.”
It’s all for fun
“Sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“Because I couldn’t properly convince Ruclid.”
“Certainly, did he think that Cecil came all this way because you couldn’t convince him?”
“… I kind of think so.”
“There is no need to blame yourself. Isn’t that what you saved me for?”
Cecilia had done nothing wrong.
However, it could not be seen as entirely the fault of Ruclid alone.
Aren’t there any real criminals?
‘Damn the spirit.’
The damn bastard trying to decide his fate by force.
All my misfortune was because of him.
“Thank you for comforting me.”
“Done. Do you get along better with Emily than that?”
“Yes, I’m afraid you seem too busy lately.”
He said it as if he resented me.
He seems to be blaming me for leaving Emily with me lately.
“Everything will be back to normal after the wedding, and by then we will be able to build more affection for each other.”
“It’s okay. I am still happy.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Seeing Cecilia with a really happy face, I raised my eyebrows.
“By the way, is the Minister really all right?”
“What do you mean?”
“You are marrying Ruclid. He…”
“What is the problem?”
“He… He was a man Do you feel any pressure about it?”
Cecilia truly wanted Ruclid’s destruction.
That’s what she says because she suffered a lot.
“I’d be lying if I said nothing.”
“Then leave me alone. Let him be alone If she doesn’t marry him, she doesn’t even have to confess to Leuclid.”
“It can’t be.”
“Why? Is it because he is the emperor? For legitimacy and the war to come?”
I shook my head.
“Cecilia, don’t you think that Leuclid completely changed into a woman, so she got a divorce?”
“…”
“I have already completely become a woman both physically and mentally. Ruclid, who was the main character of the romance novels of the past, is no longer there.”
Cecilia did not answer.
“She is a complete woman on the outside and on the inside. You know how badly she will fall if I abandon her.”
Maybe really crazy
To the point where I might have to kill myself with my own hands.
“Your confession alone will bring it down.”
“Maybe, but… She believes she can make it happen. Just like you, she was horribly wounded.”
As he befits a bloody Romance male lead, the psychological scars he had were enormous.
Like what Cecilia said, her confession her might hurt her even more, but I decided that it would be much better for her to have me by her side of her.
And there.
“And the spirit has already designated Ryuclid. Five. I told you to confess to five women.”
It must have been a warning from the spirit that led Cecilia to this place.
“Ha, if that’s your choice… I know. I wish you success.”
Cecilia got up from her seat.
“Is it because of pity that you want to confess to Ruclid now? Or love?”
“It must still be close to pity.”
‘Cause I can’t see her alone
I feel sorry for the fact that the main character in my favorite novel is unable to do anything while being immersed in sadness.
That would be the beginning of this feeling.
Ruclid seems to feel love for me, but given his unstable mental state, it could be a different kind of affection.
Simple obsession, possessiveness.
Whatever it was, she let her feelings run into me.
Anyway, I mixed it up to the body.
Time and time again she confirmed that she was a woman.
Both body and mind.
“If he says no, is it all over? Like me?”
Cecilia asks.
She said, “The cause and effect would flow like that. The worst I can think of.”
She stared at me without speaking.
“Please convince Ryuclid safely. I hate to see other people hurt because of it.”
“Do not worry. I have the power to protect myself.”
I was able to protect everyone else.
No matter what.
So trust me
And let’s believe in Ruclid.
***
The last day I promised with the spirit.
The only person left now is Ruclid.
I went to see Leuclid at my mansion choosing a dress.
“Maurice, look at this! How is it? Isn’t it pretty? Apparently, I have smaller breasts than Lady Siegfried or Lady Solarion, so I tried to make up for it…”
How is it?
Wearing a wedding dress that the tailor had just made for her and spinning around, she looked like a young girl.
Who would think this girl was once a man?
“It goes well with you.”
“Hehe, right? I knew that too!”
She was a happy bride-to-be.
“Let it go. Because at the wedding, she will appear the most beautiful among the other ladies. Everyone will fall in love with me when they see me? Don’t be jealous then.”
Ruclid jumped up and said.
She looked like an immature girl.
Who would see this woman as the Emperor who was then her solemn and cruel her.
At the same time, her heart ached.
Whatever the reason, that I had to crush this happiness she felt right now with my own hands.
‘I don’t know how long it will last…’
I couldn’t help but do nothing.
“Luclid, there is something I want to tell you.”
I cleared my voice and said.
Did you feel some kind of visceral rejection?
Ruclid’s expression his as he looked at me hardened in an instant.
“Don’t do it.”
She frowned and wrinkled her face.
She took a step back and she backed away.
“Why?”
“You are making the same expression right now.”
“With who?”
“Cecile… She gave me that look too. And…”
Leuclid ripped her hair with both of her hands.
Power came into her eyes.
Could it be because of Cecilia’s experience of her?
She reacted strongly to rejection.
“Do not say.”
Tears flowed from Ruclid’s eyes as he spoke.
“Luclid, there are times when you need to hear the truth even if you don’t want to hear it.”
“I told you not to talk!”
Ruclid stepped back.
“You won’t listen! I won’t believe anything you say!”
She covered her ears with both her hands.
“Then don’t tell me!”
But you must listen to Ruclid.
I approached her
To get rid of that hand her blocking her ears her.
“Do not come!”
Clink!
The pottery on the table was broken.
Plates and glasses fell and broke.
And her wedding dress worn by Leuclide was ruined.
“Your majesty!”
I kicked out the tailor who cried out in bewilderment.
“I’ll take care of it, so wait outside.”
“Ah, I see.”
After sending out the tailor, I approached Ruclid again.
“Do not come!”
The more she did, the more she screamed and backed away from her.
Tears flowed and stained her makeup face her.
She looked at me like her ghost her.
“Everyone is a liar. Even though she said she loved me and only looked at me, she hid her own secret. Without even thinking about how I might get hurt!”
Ruclid keeps stepping back, saying not to come.
“Leuclid…”
“I won’t listen. So don’t come!”
“…”
“Why are Cecil and you doing that!”
Ruclid fled to the window as if running away.
“You have to listen. Lucid I…”
“Don’t tell me!”
With nowhere else to run, Ruclid jumped out the window.
He seemed to have forgotten that this place was on the 5th floor.
“Leuclid!”
