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

55. Extra Edition/ Cloud Story

***T/N: There you go, folks. The misunderstanding (?) that started it all. . .

The air was clear when I went outside that day. The garden was full of winter flowers, and the flowers were covered in snow—so I took a grand breath.

Flowers such as christmas roses, clematis, erica, and north poles were colorful and entertaining. I looked around the garden with Will, gazing the flowers my gardener had taught me about.

When I exhaled, a white breath came out. The cold weather made me happy.

“Hey, Will, it’s beautiful, isn’t it!?”

“Tia, if you spend too much time outside, you’ll catch a cold, you know.”

“It’s fine if I stay a little bit longer! Hey Will, look at the sky? The clouds are so close, I think I can catch a hold of them!”

“The air is clear, that may be the reason they look closer.”

Will also looked up at the skies and answered. That added to my fun and inflated my imagination. The white clouds in the blue sky were moving slowly, and it was kind of interesting. I suddenly realized this was how it felt to be alive.

“Hey Will, it’s as if I can eat those clouds…”

“You can’t eat the clouds, Tia.”

“But they’re close and fluffy, they’re like cotton candy?”

“You can’t eat them, Tia. They’re just masses of water and ice. They just look white due to the reflection of light.”

I puffed my cheeks at Will’s interruption. He was seriously explaining like that.

“Ugh! Will has no romance!”

I pulled Will’s hand and looked around the garden—

“—!”

It was midnight when I jumped up. The moonlight shining through the window was bright, indicating it was late into night. I calmed my heart and remembered the dream I had.

…It was an old memory, no doubt. The memory when I still loved Will and acted close to him. My heart was full of sweet and nostalgic memories. Somehow, I really wanted to see Will.

But, more than anything, what occupied my chest was—

“—it’s not me!!”

Before, Will said something along these lines—

“—it’s nostalgic. I remember I saw a cloud like this in the past. Do you remember telling me that the clouds were close and you could almost grab them?”

Such was my answer;

“—that happened?”

“I said, ‘Your Highness, look, the air is clear during winter mornings!’”

“Ah, could it be, it’s when you said the clouds looked like cotton candy and could be eaten?”

“Huh?”

“Didn’t you say they looked so fluffy, that you can eat them?”

It turned out that I did say that! It was actually me!

There was no doubt the one who said that was me! I remembered Will’s expression when I said it. He had a difficult face. I was sure he was trying to recall that moment and he even asked me for confirmation—“So it wasn’t you?”

Then what did I say as a reply!?

“Fufu, how can you say that, Your Highness. There seems to be a contradiction between our memories—I wonder if it’s a memory you have with someone else.”

It was I who misremembered!

Stupid! I was an idiot! The lowest of the low! What kind of conclusion did I arrive to at that time!? I made a fool of myself when I tried to defend my wrong memory! I was the one with a flower field in my brain! I was a fool!

I covered myself in blanket and started hating myself.

I must apologize as soon as possible. I had to apologize. I had to apologize to Will. I calmed my desire to run to Will right now and waited for the dawn.

The next day—

—I planned to go to the castle and apologized to Will first thing in the morning…

…but Will’s reaction was sweet and gentle.

“As long as you remember, it’s fine.”

He just laughed. That was all!? Even though I said such a terrible thing to Will!?

I meant… Will was too kind, it was unbearable. Although I wasn’t in the position to do so, I still asked Will.

I asked Will if he wanted to do something, or was there something that I could do. Will seemed a little worried, but then he told me.

“I want Tia to hug me.”

My body literally stiffened—but it was a cheap price to pay to absolve my mistake.

I never hugged Will while Will always hugged me gently. I was very happy. I wondered if it was even a punishment because I was very happy.

Well now that he gets to own you for the remainder of your life, I think he can easily let that one go.

“I want Tia to hug me.”

“And from now on, call me Master.”

I never hugged Will while Will always hugged me gently. I was very happy. I wondered if it was even a punishment because I was very happy.

Idk about you guys but she sounds very much broken.
