“I told His Majesty the Emperor that we will move up our wedding schedule. Thankfully, he gladly grant it without even a bit of hesitation. I’m sure the Marquis also knows. I guess he didn’t say anything to surprise you, Laure.”
…What kind of bullshit is this? I stared at Calix blankly with my mouth open wide.
He looked at me and laughed charmingly. Then he lowered his head and gave a fleeting kiss on my forehead.
He then lowered his lips on my cheeks, chin, and nose, and finally stop on my lips.
The arm around my waist tightened. He hugged me affectionately, and whispered in a low voice.
“Our wedding is in a week. Laure. Isn’t it great?”
“…..”
I could feel a tremendous obsession in Calix’s voice. It’s as if his words were saying, ‘You dare to avoid me? I’ll tie you up to my side in a week.’
What, what is this? This is scary! The real Calix won’t do something like this to Laure!
L-Let’s calm down first. Let’s put the thought that Calix is being weird behind for a moment. How can the wedding be held so soon?
So what will happen when Sia shows up in a month…? What happens to me then? Oh, my God, am I getting divorced?!
“No!”
I unceremoniously shouted. I shut my mouth immediately, but the words that had been said already couldn’t be taken back anymore.
As I glance up and look at Calix, he had a very strange expression on his face. He seems to be angry, and he also seems to be hurt, but he also seem… somewhat, terrifying.
“…..”
A long silence passed. I felt overwhelmed and suffocated.
Calix was still holding me tight, and I had given up after trying a few times to get out of his arms. I don’t think he’d let me go anyways.
“Laure?”
I kept pushing Calix away, but he wouldn’t let me go. Rather, he seized my chin and lifted it up.
Thanks to this, I had tears in my eyes when both of our gazes met. N-No. You shouldn’t see me with this kind of expression.
“Laure, why…”
Calix’s voice trembled with concern. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to wipe out my tears. Then he hugged me tightly.
The hand caressing my back, patting my shoulder, was so gentle, that I felt even sadder. Tears streamed down incessantly.
“Laure. Did I scare you…? I’m sorry.”
“…..”
“I’m sorry. Laure…”
Calix kept me in his warm embrace and continued on comforting me. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard him apologize.
In retrospect, he is always like this. Ever since we first met, he has always been a compassionate guy to me.
That’s why I fell in love with him. Even though I know I shouldn’t.
I suppressed my sobs and opened my mouth.
“Calix, please forgive me.”
“…..”
“I’m truly sorry… But when the time comes, you’ll understand everything. That’s why…”
I wiped my face with my sleeves and pushed him away. Calix Rochester. A person who was always compassionate, gentle and kind. He was the most irreproachable person in my eyes. However, I’ve already decided to cut off my relationship with him, and now is not the right time to be indecisive.
Because it will be very ungrateful for the kindness I’ve received from him.

So I have to proceed to do what I’m meant to from the beginning. Either way, we have to break up some day…
“I can’t marry you.”
“…..”
“I’ll say it again, Calix. Please, let’s get… annulled.”
