Chapter 126:Â Past Memories and Growth of Former Fiancee
TN: My laptop crashes more frequently now. đŚ
<hr>
Â
In the rainy dark mountain, me who was hugging my knee was very confused.\nÂ
(Wait, wait a moment-! How does Ricardo know about my past memories?)
Â
I flutteringly glanced at Ricardo, but I couldnât read anything from his expression.
I didnât know why he asked it, so I just directly asked back.
Â
[A, ano⌠past memories? Did someone tell you something?]
Â
Regarding my past memories, the only person I had ever told was Ryuze.
I wondered if he was the one that told Ricardo.
Â
(Or perhaps, itâs Prince Serunya?)
Â
But I didnât know why he bothered to tell Ricardo.
Ricardo stared at me silently, but he opened his mouth a little hesitantly.
Â
[To be honest, Prince Serunya knows about Britney well, I was a little shaken when he said such a thing. Ryuze, for some reason, wasnât disturbed.]
[Is, is that so. So itâs Prince SerunyaâŚ]
Â
It seemed that he had said unnecessary things.
Itâs an unbelievable story, and thereâs no benefit in exposing it, so I kept silent about it.
After talking to Ryuze, he also said âdonât spread it too muchâ to me.
Â
[Then, he said something about Britney needing help. I donât know why he said such things abruptly.]
[âŚThatâs true.]
Â
Perhaps, he was concerned that I would be executed just like in the manga, but I didnât want my information to be spread indiscriminately. In my head, I pondered on whether I should tell Ricardo or not.
When I glanced at Ricardoâs face, his face profile that was illuminated by the light seemed depressed. Perhaps he was really worriedâŚ?
Â
(Certainly, if one is on the opposite standpoint, they will be worried, huh?)
Â
I didnât know if he would believe it.
However, if for argumentâs sake that Ricardo knew about my past memories, I was absolutely certain that he wouldnât look at me as if I was dangerous. I shouldnât be hated by him.
So I decided to tell him the truth.
Â
[Hey, Ricardo. I⌠really have my past lifeâs memories. It seems like a lie, but those memories came back shortly after I was informed of you breaking off our engagement back when we were young. I made soap, perfume and other beauty items based on my knowledge of that life. I had told Ryuze-niisama before, but I donât know whether he believes me or not.]
[Itâs certainly an absurd story, but⌠I believe you.]
Â
Ricardo was totally accepting my story.
I was the one who began to talk, but I never thought that he would believe me so obediently.
After that, he told me.
Â
[If itâs true, then you shouldnât spread it unnecessarily. Most people wonât believe it, but some may want to use you.]
[Un. Thatâs right, Prince Serunya has memories of his past life too. He has the memories of a same country of a different world⌠so he might have been worried about me.]
Â
I wondered if I should tell Ricardo about the manga, specifically about Britneyâs execution.
The reality had already differed so much from the manga.
Angela was reformed and Ryuze was safe.
I should be wary of my execution, but other concerns had been drastically reduced.
Â
(Iâd rather keep it silent. Even if I tell him about the manga, he will be confused.)
Â
Above all, itâs hard to explain.
First of all, I had to explain to him about Japanese culture and what âgirlâs mangaâ really was. It was endlessly troublesome.
Â
[Sorry about keeping it silent, Ricardo. Itâs not that I donât want you to know me, but I just didnât feel the need to bother you about it.]
[I see. But itâs nice to be able to know the truth. It feels complicated when Ryuze and a complete stranger like Prince Serunya know while I was the only one that didnât know about you.]
Â
That said, Ricardo buried his face on my nape.
Â
(Somehow, his actions are steadily getting bolderâŚ)
Â
When I peeked behind, Ricardo laughed as if he was in trouble.
Â
[Donât worry, I wonât do anything. Werenât we engaged before? âŚThough itâs being opposed.]
[I, Iâm not worried about that!?]
Â
Ricardo was a bit clumsy, but he was kind and gentlemanly.
Thatâs why I liked him that way.
Â
[You⌠trust me.]
[Of course! Weâve known each other for more than 4 years.]
[Iâm pleased about your feelings, but I feel a bit complicated. If possible, I wish to carry you and kidnap you away from here. I know I shouldnât think like this.]
[Iâm pretty heavy right now, so wonât it be hard to carry me?]
Â
Once, Ricardo carried me when my weight was 80 kilograms⌠heavy things were heavy.
It was embarrassing that I was heavy for Ricardo to carry, even though it was his own fault.
Â
[I habitually train, so I can carry you alone. Iâll carry you on my back when we return.]
Â
As he grew up, Ricardo seemed to have more leeway. My heart was pounding in my chest even though my mental age was supposed to be older than him.
Â
[Thatâs why, donât worry.]
Â
While he said those encouraging words, he hugged me closer.
