Seeing Leolde lowering his head, Clarice opens her tightly knotted mouth.
"Zeke. Can I ask you to leave the room for a moment?"
"Okay. I'll be outside, so give me a call when you're done talking.
"Yeah. Sorry, thanks.""
Siegfried left a few words for Leolde before he went out.
Leolde. I'm sure you'll be fine, but don't do anything strange .
"I know."
"That's fine."
After saying that, Siegfried left the room. The only two people left were Leorde and Clarice.
]Clarice was slightly terrified to be alone with Leoldo, but calmed down when she saw him bowing in front of her.
Sir Leolde . Please raise your head."
"But..."
"There is no need to apologize now."
"......"
Leolde didn't know how much thought was put into those words, but at least Clarice was not going to forgive Leolde.
"Sir Leolde. Do you know what I'm called now?"
"No, I don't, but what do they call you?"
"Whore, slut bitch, dumb bitch. I don't know, but why are they called me like this ?
"......"
he was speechless. I'm not sure what to say. It's not like he knew that Clarice had been given a disgraceful nickname.
Not knowing what to say, he covered his mouth and froze.
"You didn't know, after all. I guess I can't blame you. Leolde has changed since he went to Ze'at.
Leolde was assimilated and awakened past life memories the moment the duel ended, but it wasn't until he went to Ze'at that he began to change in earnest.
In Ze'at, he was trying his best to change his fate, but he was oblivious to what was happening in the capital.
So, he had no way of knowing that Clarice was suffering because of Leolde.
"Whenever you performed spectacularly in Ze'at, I was subjected to a lot of abuse.
There were even rumors that had no basis in fact. That she was deliberately playing the clown because shedidn't want to be engaged to him.
This is definitely not the case, but rumors have a way of catching on. If she try to deny it, people will find it even more amusing.
"The best part is that the transference magic is back. After that, the damage was not only to me, but also to my family and relatives."
"I've been mocked as a pathetic family that couldn't see through the prodigy."
Clarice's words, which plainly stated the facts, cut into Leolde's heart like a knife.
However, Clarice is much more hurt than Leolde. Now, even just by putting it into words like this, she is remembering and screaming that her heart is in pain.
Even so, Clarisse doesn't stop talking because she has to tell him.
"Do you know how much it hurt me, how much it hurt my family?"
"You don't know, do you? Because sir Leolde was only interested in my face and body."
The feeling that overflows is anger. Clarice genuinely hates Leolde and can't stand him.
"Why have you changed now?"
"Why do I have to feel this way? "
"I'm the victim here! "
"Why is it that everyone praises you and I am the one who has to suffer the abuse?"
Why do I have to suffer so much?"
"Why do I have to suffer so much?"
Clarice, pouring out her pent up hatred and anger, exposes everything. She didn't want anyone to see her ugly figure, so she sent Siegfried away.
The black emotions that were hidden in her heart explode.
What was wrong with you?"
"Please answer me, sir Leolde. What was wrong with you?
What was wrong with you?)
(Why did you change as soon as you broke off your engagement with me?)
Unable to answer, Leolde could only remain silent.
"You are not answering me, are you? After all, you don't like me, do you, Leolde?
"No, that's not true!"
"Then why don't you answer me?"
"It's ......."
"You're not answering me. ......"
Leolde, who could not tell the truth, said something out of the blue.
"I had a dream the day I lost the duel. It was a dream that I was killed."
As Clarice knows, he was a helpless person, and it would not be long before he would be killed for holding a grudge.
So I decided after that dream. I decided to be a good person since then on."
"Do you expect me to believe such a lie ?
"You may not believe it, but that's all I can say."
Looking straight into Clarice's eyes, Leolde answered. No matter how she hear it, it sounds like a lie, and Clarice can't believe it.
But it is a fact that he has changed, and there is no denying it.
Therefore, Clarice decided to believe Leolde, even though she did not know the truth.
"If you had realized that earlier, we might have had a different future."
"...... I'm sorry.""
"Please don't apologize. If you apologize , nothing will come back."
But please, I beg you. I'll never forgive you."
I have no intention of ever forgiving you, but I will accept it.
"Please swear to me that there will never be another victim like me again."
" I will not forgive you, but I will accept the current you . "Clarice said.
(Oh ...... did I hurt and make such a good woman suffer ......)
How unbearable the humiliation must have been. The sorrow, pain, and anger that Clarice suffered must have been immeasurable.
Clarice, who accepted it, had the capacity to be the main heroine.
The person he was in the past and the person he is now may be different, but the sins she committed will never disappear.
Leolde keeps this in his heart and vows to Clarice that he will never stray from the path again.
Seeing Leolde lowering his head, Clarice opens her tightly knotted mouth.
"Zeke. Can I ask you to leave the room for a moment?"
"Okay. I'll be outside, so give me a call when you're done talking.
