I Don't Want to Break off my Engagement... Translation

52. Confession (3)

I don’t have much time…? That is… Fern wanted to save that person from hell…

Then, when I told Will about Shal Ferpia, he told me that I may not have much time left.

…After inferring the meaning of his words…

…My face paled.

“W, Will, I…”

“Calm down, Tia. That’s right, first, let’s go visit the territory of Lindor.”

“Eh?”

“Tia, let’s visit that place. We might find something unexpected there. Perhaps the Ferpia family’s worst secret.”

“…Will?”

Will didn’t answer me. Instead, he asked, “When should we go? How does tomorrow sound? Is Tia free tomorrow?”

I still couldn’t answer well because Will’s previous statement made me sick.

However, from my ambiguous answer, Will guessed I had no plans for tomorrow, and we decided to visit the site tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, I couldn’t stop feeling bad.

The reason I didn’t have time to answer properly was—

“Tia, you look bad… that’s right, why don’t you stay in my room today?”

“Huh!?”

“Tia, you can’t sleep well alone, right? Even though we aren’t married, you’re my fiancée. It’s not something improper. I will talk to His Majesty the King and the Duke’s family. Tia, sleep beside me tonight.”

“But, I, uh, Will…”

“Tia, I’m really worried about you. It will be fine, I won’t do anything Tia doesn’t like. I will just help you sleep. Tia, please. Or, if Tia is sure she can sleep soundly today, you can go home… Tia, what’s your answer?”

Will’s words caused my mind to blank.

Today, Will, and I, sleeping together?

The lessons learned as part of the Princess’ education spun in my brain. After a few seconds, my face turned bright red. My face was hot. I could understand without looking at it. I averted my gaze without thinking. I was sure he saw everything.

“Tia, your face is red…”

There’s no need for you to say that!

I turned away as much as I could. But from the corner of my eyes, I saw Will moving—what was he doing?

When I thought so, I suddenly felt warm and damp sensations on my neck—

—!?!?!?!?!

“Hya….”

“I’m sorry, Tia, as I thought, you should just go home today. Then sleep properly. I will properly talk to your maid, and Tia, another thing… no, never mind.”

It seemed that whatever he planned on doing, Will stopped himself from doing it.

Will suddenly leaned away in a straightforward manner—I wondered what he was doing…?

Usually, Will was always trying to get close to me, now he was avoiding me. I felt something was strange, so I leaned further forward—on the narrow sofa, Will was immediately cornered to the end of the sofa.

“Tia, forgive me. Seriously, I…”

“What is it, Will? Why are you suddenly turning away?”

He escaped from me, so I naturally want to chase after him. I leaned further and finally hugged Will. Will’s breath was stuck on his throat—

what? You didn’t want to be hugged by me?

But Will always hugged me. Yes, he always did so out of nowhere.

Will averted his gaze away. His face was flushed red, even to his ears.

“…Will?”

“W, what is it?”

How unusual of him.

Will’s tone sounded disturbed—everything became increasingly interesting.

I pressed my face against Will’s chest. Will’s scent calmed me.

“Wha…”

“Hey Will, I like you. I love you.”

“! …Tia.”

“What is it, Wil—nnhh!”

His hand was behind my neck as his lips covered mine. Moreover, it was not the chaste touch against the lips just like the one I mentioned earlier.

“Nnnh!? N, nn…!! N!”

Greedily, Will clung to my lips.

He changed his angle and claimed my lips over and over again. Finally, Will removed his lips from mine, satisfied.

I was stiff and couldn’t move.

T, that shouldn’t be a something you would do towards a lady who just experienced her first kiss?!

In shyness and turmoil, I looked up at Will. Will was licking the saliva from his lips—

—I thought I was going to ascend because he looked too erotic.

“Previously, what I intended to say was, don’t provoke me. I’m not a saint, Tia.”

I didn’t really understand what his words meant, so I blinked my eyes.

Looking at such a me, Will smiled and closed the distance. Then, he put his lips to my ear.

“I’m saying that if you’re too cute, I’ll kiss you again.”

He whispered so. I let out a voiceless scream as I collapsed against Will’s chest. Will was laughing happily all the time. It wasn’t a feeling I shared.

I didn’t really get what he was implying, ‘provoke’? What does he mean by that? But I refrained from doing more skinship.


***T/N:

I don’t have much time…? That is… Fern wanted to save that person from hell…

///Is lying half-dead on the ground, clutching her throbbing head///

NOMYGODWE’RESTILLHAVINGTHISBULL…!!!!! Okay I shall just rant as I let the hoe’s brain processes things in its own customized speed as usual.

“Tia, let’s visit that place. We might find something unexpected there. Perhaps the Ferpia family’s worst secret.”

What the <del datetime=”2021-11-04T08:21:02+00:00″>censored </del>. HOW DO YOU CONVENIENTLY KNOW THAT AT SUCH A PRECISE MOMENT IN TIME WHEN YOUR HOE IS PRECISELY NEEDING SUCH A PRECISE INFORMATION THAT RESIDES IN SUCH A PRECISE LOCATION BELONGING TO THE PRECISE FAMILY?!

Hey guys, I don’t know whether to be concerned about the author’s definition of ‘foreshadowing’ and ‘cool’, or Will’s apparent ignorance towards an issue that seems to still brewing in his own kingdom.

I keep getting this vibe as if the author is patting herself on the back–‘HA! I planned this all along! Don’t you see how neatly arranged the main events in my plotline are!? Tia is solving the problem one by one as she goes through the timeline of the plot!’

–except that NO, it’s not something to be proud about. Nothing about the flow of the plot felt natural. It’s as if the author, Tia, and Will conveniently waited until they returned to Haulfa to deal with FernProblem. You get what I mean? It’s like me going to the market on an errand and use that opportunity to buy the snack I’ve been wanting to eat along the way. That’s how the author and Tia treated Fern. “Oh hmm, I’ve returned to Haulfa–now I will deal with Fern. Of course, if I have the time.”–OH YEAH THAT’S HOW WILL TREAT TIA’S RESCUE TOO, HE POSTPONE IT A WEEK SO HE CAN ATTEND A PUBLIC AFFAIR AT THE SAME TIME.

Will didn’t answer me. Instead, he asked, “When should we go? How does tomorrow sound? Is Tia free tomorrow?”

SEE?! HE POSTPONED IT YET AGAIN! JUST GREAT! SHAL FERPIA’S DYING <del datetime=”2021-11-04T08:21:02+00:00″>censored </del>WILL SURELY WAIT UNTIL YOU COME TO RESCUE HIM AND NOT DIE OR ANYTHING! WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE’S SENSE OF CRISIS!?

“Tia, I’m really worried about you. It will be fine, I won’t do anything Tia doesn’t like. I will just help you sleep. Tia, please. Or, if Tia is sure she can sleep soundly today, you can go home… Tia, what’s your answer?”

BULL. Will sounds like that kind of guy who absolutely can’t control himself and when the time comes he would be like, “It’s fine. Let’s just do it. We’re going to get married anyway.” Then later he would ditch the hoe’s sorry <del datetime=”2021-11-04T08:21:02+00:00″>censored </del>.

When I thought so, I suddenly felt warm and damp sensations on my neck—

—!?!?!?!?!

“Hya….”

“I’m sorry, Tia, as I thought, you should just go home today. Then sleep properly. I will properly talk to your maid, and Tia, another thing… no, never mind.”

EEK GROSS. SHE JUST SPILLED HER HEART TO YOU. SHE TOLD YOU THAT SOMEONE DIED AND THE OTHER ONE HAS A PROBABILITY OF DYING, IF YOU TRULY ARE LISTENING AND EMPATHIZING WITH HER THE ENTIRE TIME, YOU WOULDN’T GET SO DAMN FAST IN THE MOOD LIKE THIS!!!! YOU WOULD STILL BE CAUGHT IN THE SOLEMN MOOD!!! Disgusting, are you telling me the entire time Tia is having her sob story, the entirety of this man’s mind is focused upon pouncing her?!

Usually, Will was always trying to get close to me, now he was avoiding me. I felt something was strange, so I leaned further forward—on the narrow sofa, Will was immediately cornered to the end of the sofa.

YOU HAD JUST NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH, TIA, WHY ARE YOU COURTING IT NOW!?

He escaped from me, so I naturally want to chase after him. I leaned further and finally hugged Will. Will’s breath was stuck on his throat—

what? You didn’t want to be hugged by me?

Ok let me cut quick to the case. Three main things that would be taught in Princess’ Education, one of them is about sexual intercourse. Because OF COURSE! How else would an heir be born!? And now you’re telling me Tia is oh-so-pure she didn’t understand what effect she had on Will?! Absolute bull! And what’s with this sudden aggressiveness in her character?! WHAT IS HER CHARACTER, EVEN!? I CALL THIS BULL, I CALL THIS CHARACTER INCONSISTENCIES!!!!

I pressed my face against Will’s chest. Will’s scent calmed me.

GOD. I GIVE UP PROTECTING HER. Author had used ‘character inconsistencies’ card to make it seems that Tia is no longer the victim/ being solely taken advantage of by Will by making her somehow, for no reason at all, reciprocate his advances.

“Hey Will, I like you. I love you.”

WE DON’T NEED THAT AUTHOR. WE DON’T NEED THAT!!!

In shyness and turmoil, I looked up at Will. Will was licking the saliva from his lips—

—I thought I was going to ascend because he looked too erotic.

…Now this is the author talking, isn’t it? Ain’t no way that’s Tia. I bet Will is derived from Author’s actual husbando and she writes this story exactly for this.

“Previously, what I intended to say was, don’t provoke me. I’m not a saint, Tia.”

I didn’t really understand what his words meant, so I blinked my eyes.

AND DONT YOU DARE ACT LIKE A SAINT WHO DOESNT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAD JUST DID EITHER, TIA!!! <del datetime=”2021-11-04T08:21:02+00:00″>censored </del>AINT FOOLING ME!!!

“I’m saying that if you’re too cute, I’ll kiss you again.”

…Yeah let’s just ignore the fact that there’s a dying kid you need to save and a missing, dead, daughter of a count you need to deal with. Mhm. Such a fluffy chapter. We can totally immerse ourselves in the fluff.

This chapter is probably the most harrowing experience I’ve had in the entire series.
