Chapter 126:Ā Past Memories and Growth of Former Fiancee
TN: My laptop crashes more frequently now. š¦
<hr>
Ā
In the rainy dark mountain, me who was hugging my knee was very confused.\nĀ
(Wait, wait a moment-! How does Ricardo know about my past memories?)
Ā
I flutteringly glanced at Ricardo, but I couldnāt read anything from his expression.
I didnāt know why he asked it, so I just directly asked back.
Ā
[A, ano⦠past memories? Did someone tell you something?]
Ā
Regarding my past memories, the only person I had ever told was Ryuze.
I wondered if he was the one that told Ricardo.
Ā
(Or perhaps, itās Prince Serunya?)
Ā
But I didnāt know why he bothered to tell Ricardo.
Ricardo stared at me silently, but he opened his mouth a little hesitantly.
Ā
[To be honest, Prince Serunya knows about Britney well, I was a little shaken when he said such a thing. Ryuze, for some reason, wasnāt disturbed.]
[Is, is that so. So itās Prince Serunyaā¦]
Ā
It seemed that he had said unnecessary things.
Itās an unbelievable story, and thereās no benefit in exposing it, so I kept silent about it.
After talking to Ryuze, he also said ādonāt spread it too muchā to me.
Ā
[Then, he said something about Britney needing help. I donāt know why he said such things abruptly.]
[ā¦Thatās true.]
Ā
Perhaps, he was concerned that I would be executed just like in the manga, but I didnāt want my information to be spread indiscriminately. In my head, I pondered on whether I should tell Ricardo or not.
When I glanced at Ricardoās face, his face profile that was illuminated by the light seemed depressed. Perhaps he was really worriedā¦?
Ā
(Certainly, if one is on the opposite standpoint, they will be worried, huh?)
Ā
I didnāt know if he would believe it.
However, if for argumentās sake that Ricardo knew about my past memories, I was absolutely certain that he wouldnāt look at me as if I was dangerous. I shouldnāt be hated by him.
So I decided to tell him the truth.
Ā
[Hey, Ricardo. I⦠really have my past lifeās 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 donāt know whether he believes me or not.]
[Itās certainly an absurd story, but⦠I believe you.]
Ā
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.
Ā
[If itās true, then you shouldnāt spread it unnecessarily. Most people wonāt believe it, but some may want to use you.]
[Un. Thatās 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.]
Ā
I wondered if I should tell Ricardo about the manga, specifically about Britneyās 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.
Ā
(Iād rather keep it silent. Even if I tell him about the manga, he will be confused.)
Ā
Above all, itās hard to explain.
First of all, I had to explain to him about Japanese culture and what āgirlās mangaā really was. It was endlessly troublesome.
Ā
[Sorry about keeping it silent, Ricardo. Itās not that I donāt want you to know me, but I just didnāt feel the need to bother you about it.]
[I see. But itās 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 didnāt know about you.]
Ā
That said, Ricardo buried his face on my nape.
Ā
(Somehow, his actions are steadily getting bolderā¦)
Ā
When I peeked behind, Ricardo laughed as if he was in trouble.
Ā
[Donāt worry, I wonāt do anything. Werenāt we engaged before? ā¦Though itās being opposed.]
[I, Iām not worried about that!?]
Ā
Ricardo was a bit clumsy, but he was kind and gentlemanly.
Thatās why I liked him that way.
Ā
[You⦠trust me.]
[Of course! Weāve known each other for more than 4 years.]
[Iām 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 shouldnāt think like this.]
[Iām pretty heavy right now, so wonāt it be hard to carry me?]
Ā
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.
Ā
[I habitually train, so I can carry you alone. Iāll carry you on my back when we return.]
Ā
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.
Ā
[Thatās why, donāt worry.]
Ā
While he said those encouraging words, he hugged me closer.
