I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 11]
Translated by: ME
Saturday, Felicia had a date with Silas, their twelfth.
When she arrived at the park bench, their meeting place, Maisie was already there for some reason.
[Felicia, you're late.]
The agreed time was ten o'clock, and it's currently 9:55, so I don't think I'm late.
However, I have a feeling that's not the real issue.
Silas, being considerate, followed up with, [I just got here myself,] but ignored Maisie's presence.
[Well then, shall we go?]
Maisie started walking cheerfully.
I tugged on Silas's sleeve and whispered, [Why is Maisie here?]
Silas replied, not seeming too concerned, [Didn't you invite her, like always?]
[I didn't invite her.]
In fact, I've never invited her.
If anyone knows why you'd invite your cousin on a date with your fiancé, please tell me.
It's always Maisie who asks, [Can I come too?] and Silas never says no outright, so I've just allowed her to come along.
[Silas, you're going on the same boat as last time, right?]
Maisie pointed to the boats on the pond.
[Last time?]
[Oh, last Saturday, the day you went to the Ashfield Manor party, I went boating with Toby and the others.]
[I see. So Maisie was with you too?]
[Yeah... I just couldn't refuse...]
Even after getting on the boat, Maisie repeatedly brought up topics with Silas that Felicia knew nothing about.
Things like, [That thing Toby was talking about...] or [Neil's joke was the best.]
Each time, Silas would glance at Felicia with a troubled expression.
As they got off the boat, he whispered, [I'm troubled too.]
Felicia replied, [I don't really mind.]
[I'm glad you're so understanding. Thank you for not misunderstanding anything strange.]
Silas said, stealing glances to make sure Maisie couldn't hear, and continued to talk to her frequently after that.
[I want you to believe me, seriously, you and Maisie are like night and day.]
[Don't think I'd be swayed by someone like her.]
[Isn't she being a bit presumptuous for a Baron's daughter?]
He seemed to be trying to improve Felicia's mood, but hearing those words made her question her feelings for Silas.
They're from the same Marquis family, and their ages are well-matched.
He's also quite tall, fairly handsome, and well-regarded in the Royal Knights.
Everyone around her, including her parents, is happy, and her friends at the academy congratulated her and envied her, and she thought she was fortunate to have such a good marriage prospect.
He'll also come into her family as an adopted husband...
But was Silas really the right choice?
She didn't particularly dislike anything about him; he wasn't violent, he didn't do anything embarrassing in public, and she thought he was a fairly decent person, but...
Rather than his high pride, his condescending way of speaking bothered her somehow.
Felicia also had many thoughts about Maisie's actions.
But after hearing Silas's words, she couldn't simply be happy.
