I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 43]
Translated by: ME
The full moon floats in the summer night sky.
On the ground, countless lights illuminating the vast royal palace shone like stars.
Carriages adorned with brilliant decorations passed one after another through the magnificent gates and formally dressed gentlemen and ladies were drawn into the large stone building.
Two weeks after the graduation ball, a ball was being held tonight to announce the engagement of Kevin, the second prince of the Kingdom of Auckland.
[Congratulations, Felicia.]
[Your Highness Kevin, congratulations.]
[Thank you.]
Felicia, blessed by a large number of attendees, went around greeting people with Kevin.
Kevin, the second prince, was recognized as the next head of the Erhardt Marquis family, concurrently holding the title of Duke of Bradford, which he would inherit. In the future, the children born between the two would inherit their respective titles.
For the Erhardt family, welcoming Kevin was the greatest honor and a wonderful thing.
Felicia, who grew up as a noble's daughter, fully understood that this was important. But more than that, she felt that meeting Kevin was like a miracle.
She was attracted to him as a person.
Perhaps she also felt love for him as a man.
Her heart raced when he smiled at her, and she felt happy just being by Kevin's side.
She couldn't help but feel deep gratitude for being united with such a person.
While sincerely answering [Thank you] to the people's blessings, she continued to walk through the ballroom.
Towards the end, she was a little tired, but her joyful feelings were not diminished in the slightest.
Music was played, and she danced the first dance with Kevin.
After that, she became a little more free.
Rachel, Cathy, and Brittany finally managed to come near her and offered their congratulations again. Kevin gently pushed her back and let her escape to the terrace, saying, [You can talk slowly.]
It had been since the graduation ceremony that she had seen the three of them. She chatted happily with her friends, whom she hadn't seen in a while.
She heard directly from Cathy and Brittany about their wedding dates and that they had sent out invitations.
Rachel had passed the civil service exam and decided to work for the royal family, also serving as a court poet.
[Everyone is doing well. I'm really glad.]
They congratulated each other on their happiness and spent a pleasant time.
[By the way, about Silas's family...]
Cathy said somewhat hesitantly.
Brittany and Rachel looked at her with worried eyes.
[Is it true?]
[That the Haymer family is going bankrupt...]
Felicia couldn't answer anything.
It was around the middle of last week that her father joyfully delivered the divorce papers of her uncle Bernard and Daphne, Maisie's mother, to the royal palace.
She was told that the Haymer family had gone bankrupt on the weekend.
Her father, who told Felicia about it, was not surprised at all. He just shrugged, saying it was bound to happen.
Rumors spread within a few days and spread rapidly during the Sunday promenade after the Sunday service. Now, she thought, there probably wasn't anyone who didn't know.
Still, everyone seemed unable to believe it. Everyone was surprised, saying, [They were doing so well.]
She was asked how Maisie and Silas were doing, but she could only answer, [I don't know.]
She actually didn't know anything.
She told them that her uncle and aunt had divorced, and since Maisie was her aunt's daughter, her connection with the Erhardt family had also been severed.
[So, she wasn't a real cousin?]
For some reason, the three of them said, [We're relieved to hear that.]
They said they felt sorry for Felicia somewhere about their attitude towards Maisie.
Rachel muttered, [Good riddance.]
[I feel really bad for spouting venom today, on Felicia's celebration.]
[But I still can't forgive Maisie, even if I die.]
Felicia just shook her head at Rachel, who smiled apologetically.
There was still a dark cloud in Felicia's heart.
She understood Rachel's pain very well.
