Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 72

Chapter 72


"Now, will you explain to me what is happening?"

Clara bit her lips and lowered her head . "You already heard . I want to become the church's holy daughter . "

"Don't give me that crap, Clara . You and I know that you never liked the church . " I said in an ice-cold tone . "In fact, I even thought for an instant that you hated the thought of marrying me so much that you preferred to become the holy daughter or whatever . However, that doesn't explain why you didn't cancel the engagement outright and instead asked me to cancel it . If you truly hate me, you would not have done such a sacrifice . "

"…"

"Moreover, you have been avoiding me for a while . You even excused yourself from attending my birthday ball . "

"… I'm sorry Claus . But I can't tell you…" Clara said with a shaking tone .

"You don't need to tell me . Actually, I already have an idea . Someone is forcing you to stop your relationship with me, right?"

Clara's body shook . She opened her lips to refute me, but the words were unable to escape her mouth .

"… Was it your family?"

Clara did not answer . But her expression told me everything .

For an instant, none of us spoke .

I looked at Clara and sighed deeply . "Please, can you explain to me what happened?"

Clara's expression distorted . Soon, I realized that her eyes had turned red, and tears had started to form in the corner of her eyes .

"… It happened after we were engaged . Father was pretty happy with our engagement . My family is just a normal noble family, and even if you are not the heir to the throne, you are still a prince . After we married, I would get the title of princess .

"… I was very happy . Claus, you know that I always have loved you . In fact, part of the reason father agreed to our engagement was that he knew about my feelings . The days after we were engaged were some of the happiest days of my life . " A reminiscent expression appeared on Clara's face . For an instant, her expression seemed truly blissful .

But in the next instant, the bliss turned into sadness .



"My nightmare started a few days after that . One day, my father suddenly received a group of visitors . Even today, I don't know their identities, but father treated them very respectfully . Father received the visitors in his office, and they talked about something . I'm not sure what they talked about, but when the visitors left, father's face seemed much older and… afraid .


"The following days, father's condition worsened . He seemed constantly worried about something, as though he had to take a very difficult decision . Even today, father has not recovered completely .

"Finally, an afternoon, father called me to her office . He told me . . . He told me that I could not marry you . " Clara put on a bitter expression . I could see the pain and sadness she was feeling currently .

"At first, I thought he was joking . But when I saw his eyes, I knew it was true . I remember I refused bitterly . Father then raised his voice and started to yell to me, but I continued refusing . Even when father threatened me to lock me inside my room, I refused! I told him that I would marry you even if I had to escape!

"However, when father told me that our family would be destroyed if I married you, I could not keep my determination…

"That night, I cried bitterly . I truly wanted to marry you, Claus . When we were children, I dreamed of one day becoming your wife and having children… However, how can I put my family at risk due to my selfishness?!

"So the next day, I told father that I agreed . I remember father heaving a sigh and apologizing to me with tears on his eyes . Do you know, Claus? That was the only time I saw father crying…

"It's not easy to cancel an engagement with a prince . Our family can't afford to do so without a good enough reason . As such, father asked me to keep a distance from you . Then, when the opportunity presents itself, He would cancel the marriage .



"A few days ago, father and I visited the Church of Order . For some reason, I acquired the goddess's recognition and became a candidate to the holy daughter's position…"

Clara raised her face and looked at me . Her face was covered in tears . Clara was smiling, but her smile was filled with pain and sadness . She seemed as though she was going to shatter with the slightest touch .

"Actually, I'm pretty happy . Even if I'm unable to marry you, we were engaged for a while . Don't worry Claus, in this life, I'll not marry anyone but you . So, if I can't marry you, then perhaps it's for the best if I become this holy daughter or whatever . "

"Clara…" I stared at Clara with a complicated expression . I never imagined that she was suffering so much .

Actually, I realized that something was wrong with Clara long ago, but to be honest, I did not care . For someone like me, most problems are things I can resolve by snapping my fingers . But precisely because of that, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them as long as they don't affect my life directly .

You can say that it's a side-effect of having lived for so long .

'Me' of the fiftieth reincarnation would have acted immediately if he had the slightest suspicion that something was wrong with anyone close to me . But the 'me' of now is still hiding his strength simply because it's more entertaining this way .

How lame . I wonder how I fell to this state .

. . . Living for so long is not always good, after all .



I heaved a sigh and walked towards Clara before hugging her . Clara did not reject my hug and simply continued to cry . I felt pity when I saw her bitter tears flowing down on her face .

After a while, Clara finally began to calm down . She grabbed my arms and held them tightly .

"… I'm sorry, Claus . I love you, I truly love you…"

"No, it's my fault . I'm the reason you have to go through this . "

Clara fell silent . She rested her body against mine and smiled . "… Hey Claus, we never kissed even once, you know? Can you…"

I smiled and raised her chin . Clare put on a nervous expression and looked into my eyes .

I sighed and slowly sealed her lips .
