The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

4 – Betrothed to a princess from an enemy country (4)

“Huhhhhh-“

The day she first heard the news of her engagement, Yuna, uncharacteristically, sat down on the floor and cried.

“Yu, Yuuna. It’s not a marriage. “It’s just an engagement.”

“Huhhhhh!”

It was a natural thing for young Yuna.

That’s because Yuuna has admired the hero from fairy tales since she was young, and has always dreamed of marrying a strong man like him.

Perhaps that’s why, ever since she was young, Yuna liked knights who were strong and had great muscles more than noble-looking nobles.

But suddenly she got engaged to the prince of the next kingdom. He even says that his age is the same as mine.

That meant that he was no different from a child who had not yet grown properly.

Marrying a royal who wouldn’t even exercise properly was the worst future for Yuna.

“It’s true, Yuna. It’s just an engagement. “It’s definitely not a lifetime promise.”

“lie-! It’s a lie! Hue… ”

“It’s true, Yuna! This father will definitely promise. “I will get engaged, but I will never make Yuuna marry someone she doesn’t like.”

The king of the Kingdom of Helia was a fool.

Nevertheless, the reason she had to be put forward as the enemy’s betrothal partner was because she was the same age as the other prince, and because Yuna and his brothers already had partners.

Unlike the prince of the opposing Kingdom of Regius, who was the eldest son, Yuuna had several older brothers, so he was not in a politically important position.

That’s why the king was more accepting of her foolish behavior.

“… really?”

“then. Of course. It’s just a little bit of acting. How many times did your brother break off his engagement? “This is a common occurrence among nobles.”

“… really?”

“Then it is true. Just think of it as a friendly show for a while. This father will never force Yuuna into a marriage she doesn’t like. There’s no need for that. “In the future, even if Yuna wants to, I won’t let her do it.”

It’s just a short show.

Yuuna’s brothers had also repeatedly broken off engagements and engagements, so Yuna eventually believed the king’s words.

It was difficult for Yuna to believe that the king’s pledge to never marry a prince from the Kingdom of Regius was a lie.

The other sisters also reassured Yuna that it would be okay.

For Yuna, it served as an opportunity to further solidify her resolve to marry a warrior when she grows up.

“Joe, good night, Princess Helias!”

Therefore, she behaved even colder towards the prince who was her fiancé. I tried to roll.

But when the day of the engagement ceremony arrived, I couldn’t stop the tears from coming out.

Her father and brothers said it was okay, but it was difficult for her to be engaged to a man she didn’t know, and even to a boy of the same age who seemed incompetent.

Still, I held back tears during the engagement ceremony. Still, Yuna wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t know the truth.

As a royal, I felt that I had to do this for the sake of the kingdom.

“Whoa… “

Not long after the engagement ceremony, Yuuna left the stuffy banquet hall and got some fresh air.

Although she was still young, she clearly felt distraught.

“Wouldn’t the hero appear and save us?”

Wouldn’t that child who is forced to be engaged to be the devil be the devil and a hero will appear and save her?

And wouldn’t it be possible to fall in love with a warrior and get married as desired?

Yuna was leaning on the railing, imagining such nonsense and hoping that this time would end quickly.

“Let me introduce myself again. My name is Ben Harun Leonor. He is the first prince of the Kingdom of Regius. “It’s an honor to have this relationship.”

“… “Huh, huh!”

However, the devil came to her without any hesitation and said hello.

Yuna tried to turn her head and did not respond to him.

Of course, because she had a naturally kind nature, even that appearance seemed cute to others.

Still, Yuna was doing her best to show him a cold side.

“Princess. “Why don’t we be friends?”

Of course, her acting didn’t work on Ben in the end. In fact, he found her cute.

Ben smiled as he saw her turning his head and suggested that she become his friend.

‘Well, if it’s just a friend… ‘

Good-natured Yuna quickly felt weak when she saw him like that.

If you think about it, he probably didn’t want a marriage like this, but he was trying hard.

Yuna unconsciously turned her head towards him, but soon regained her composure.

No matter how pitiful he was, he couldn’t be friends with the Demon King.

“When I become really, really strong, will you be my friend then? No, I will be your knight. “I will protect you for the rest of my life.”

But Ben came forward undeterred.

To be honest, the words about becoming stronger and protecting her for the rest of her life were instantly stuck in Yuna’s heart.

Above all, the sincere eyes that looked at her uprightly were very firm.

Yuna could not possibly give a lie to her sincerity.

“Well, I saw that back then… “

Time passed like that. Yuna still had no intention of marrying Ben, and Ben took marriage to Yuna for granted.

As Ben said, the two became very close friends.

Yuuna could tell right away that he wasn’t a bad person because he tried to show Moon Squirrel, and it didn’t take long for her to develop a human crush on him.

But marriage was a different matter. The king of Helia Kingdom still told Yuna that he would never let her get married.

Every time that happened, Yuna, too, slowly put her feelings about Ben back on track and thought about breaking off the engagement.

An engagement that neither she nor he wanted in the first place.

Yuna also knew that Ben had worked hard for her, who had gotten into an engagement she didn’t want.

Since this was an engagement Ben didn’t want anyway, I think it would be better for both parties to break off the engagement in the end.

She did not give her heart to Ben because she knew that everything he did for her was inevitably, as a prince of a country, trying to make peace with the enemy country.

I liked him as a friend, and even as a person, but I never thought about marriage.

It was an engagement that neither of us wanted in the first place, and my father said there would never be a marriage.

So, I always responded passively to Ben when he talked about marriage.

“Yuuna. “I’m so sorry.”

“… yes?”

It was a day three years after I met Ben.

“Because of this father’s greed, he forced his daughter into an unwanted engagement. And I should feel guilty because I made you suffer for three years to maintain that relationship.”

“Well, I’m okay, father. Still, Ben is not a bad person, and he has become a good friend. Of course, Ben has no choice but to be close to me… But it wasn’t a bad time.”

“… Is that so? But I promise. There will really be no marriage.”

“I am… ”

I’m OK.

Yuuna hastily swallows what she was about to say without realizing it.

From the beginning, this marriage was something that no one wanted.

A marriage that neither Yuna herself, her father, nor Ben wanted.

Ben had always talked about marriage, but Yuna knew that it was all for the Kingdom of Regius and herself.

‘He must have gotten into an engagement he didn’t want. ‘It’s pitiful if I make Yuna suffer too.’

A conversation between Syria and Ben that I once overheard.

It was after that that she was certain. Of course, I wasn’t disappointed in him because of this conversation.

As expected, he is just trying for himself.

Since Ben is a very kind person to begin with, he just tries to make sure no one is unhappy.

Since it was Yuuna who had been watching Ben for a while, she knew better.

Ben’s efforts so far were not because he truly loved her, but simply because he did not want to make anyone unhappy with this engagement.

That’s why Yuna has been wary of getting closer to Ben than just friends.

According to King Helia’s words, this marriage will be canceled anyway.

However, if the future of the broken engagement were to change due to one’s whim, it would be a betrayal of everyone’s efforts.

Yuna’s father must have been making efforts to prevent a marriage he did not want.

Ben also did his best for Yuna because of his kind personality even when he was about to get married, which he didn’t like.

No matter how Yuna thought about it, breaking off this engagement was the right choice.

Even for him who worked hard so far. I wanted him to marry someone he truly loved.

Of course, even without her efforts, the king will take the lead in breaking off the engagement.

“There isn’t much left now, Yuuna. “It will be over soon.”

“… yes. father.”

For some reason, Yuna’s throat was tight and her heart was pounding as she swallowed words, but she didn’t know the cause.

Because breaking off this engagement was for everyone’s benefit. Even for that purpose, he shouldn’t have said harsh words.

Now I had to prepare for breaking up with Ben.

‘… This is correct. ‘Because it was supposed to be that way from the beginning.’

Yuna didn’t know what the king meant when he said it would end soon, and she didn’t know how it would lead to the breakup of the engagement, but Yuna didn’t want to think about it any more.

A future where I don’t marry him. Because thinking about the future of breaking off my engagement with him, I felt strangely frustrated.

‘still… We can still be friends… ?’

okay. Even if you don’t get married, if you continue to be friends.

Then I wouldn’t have to be separated from a good person like Ben.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like Ben, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea if we continued to be friends instead of breaking off the engagement.

‘okay. Just because you break off the engagement doesn’t mean you’ll stop seeing each other forever.’

Rather, if we were free from the constraints of engagement, we would be able to become closer. Ben would welcome that too.

Yuna thought that Ben wasn’t a bad person who would immediately cut off their friendship just because he broke off his engagement.

And that thought was actually correct.

Even if the engagement was broken, the two would still be able to remain friends.

“… huh.”

Yuna nodded slightly.

It was a confidence based on the faith that Ben had shown so far.

Of course, she was still young and did not realize that this desire to continue to be friends with him was slightly different from friendship.

By believing that I could continue to be friends with him, I was able to calm my anxiety of unknown meaning.

But she was never friends with Ben again.

Yuuna, foolishly, did not know until the last moment that breaking the engagement meant the end of her relationship with him.
