First day
The new school period starts today.
I am advancing to high school here in Luminous Academy, and my days of training to become a magic knight are going to begin in earnest.
My true wish is to use what I learn in this academy to become a healer and save people who are injured, but… I am engaged, so I have an unavoidable future ahead of me.
Yuugo Clay…The eldest son of the noted Clay family, and one set to inherit it.
He is arrogant, and I know all too well that he thinks of his fiancee, me, like an accessory or something on that level.
If I can be honest, I can’t say I like him very much. But since my parents decided he is who I’m to marry, I can’t go against it.
But as I saw him becoming more arrogant and unscrupulous through elementary and middle school, I started fearing for my future.
The one ray of hope I have is that he is very kind to his little brother, Phi. I would be happy if I also became the target of that kindness once we get married, and I also become his family… But I doubt it.
The marriage will be in name only. There is a good chance the eldest son of the Clay family will have concubines. I will be nothing more than a trophy to display his honor.
I always knew that being the daughter of a noble meant I would have a marriage of convenience, but… I still have dreams of a happy married life and future.
My foolishness exasperates me, because I know very well that is not possible.
…Incidentally, I met a charming but mysterious person today.
Zenon Ash. He was very nice to me, even though we have never met.
I can’t quite put it into words, but I feel like he has something others don’t.
It’s interesting to have such a meeting just as a new period starts. I look forward to meeting more new students, now that I am in high school.
Third day
Something unbelievable just happened.
The same Zenon I wrote about in this diary, defeated Mister Yuugo in a duel.
Not only that, but it seems I was the bet in that duel, and since Mister Zenon won, my marriage to Mister Yuugo has been canceled. That means I am officially free.
It all happened too suddenly to feel real, but apparently, it’s all true. Mister Yuugo has also been disowned by the Clay family, which means I have nothing left tying me to him.
I am… So happy. Now I can choose my own path, unshackled by my family.
I can never thank Mister Zenon enough for freeing me from this curse that has been hanging over me for so long.
And partially to thank him, I decided I am going to stay by his side. I want to grow alongside him, and work to become the sort of person who can choose her own path.
…I adore Mister Zenon. I will strive to repay him for what he did, every day.
Fifth day
A lot has been happening lately. These have been very busy days.
Mister Yuugo lost his memory after being defeated by Mister Zenon in a duel, and was kicked out of the dormitory.
I was a little concerned, but apparently he was once again challenged, this time by Marcos Borg, a boy in the same year… And won.
He was disowned, and had his beloved magic item Garandil taken away, so how come he came out victorious?
I guess having the blood of a noted family coursing through his veins means his abilities are top notch.
He used Blaster, an old model of magic item, and managed to defeat the strong armor type magic item that has been passed down through generations of the Borg family, Giga Scissors.
I can’t help but admire that skill.
…No, I can’t. I serve Mister Zenon now. I can’t stay hung up on another boy, much less my former fiancee. That would be a disservice to Mister Zenon.
I need to get Mister Yuugo out of my mind.
Incidentally, I have noticed that Mister Zenon goes somewhere at night sometimes.
Considering how strong he is, I imagine he is going out to train in secret. I think it’s wonderful how diligent he is.
I need to also keep working hard, to be a girl that can stand with him as an equal.
Speaking of him, he started talking to many students right after joining the academy. I guess the best part of starting a new chapter in life is meeting new people. He is the type that makes friends even before classes start.
But I also noticed that most of them are girls. They are all adorable and beautiful too, so it makes me a little jealous, or rather, a little unsure.
When I talked to him about that, he said I was number one in his eyes.
And when we decided to go on a date on our next day off, my heart almost jumped from my chest.
And so, I look forward to it, while keeping in mind that it will be a reserved, pure rendezvous, fit for two students.
I will enjoy my freedom from Mister Yuugo to the fullest!
PS: Who is Melt Epee? I heard Mister Zenon mumbling that name to himself, but I have never met her.
Is she someone who joined this academy this year, like Mister Zenon? The name leads me to believe she is a girl, and it gives me a bad feeling…
Join my patreon to support me and read ahead.
Finally giving Claire the spotlight huh. I almost forgot about her NGL
I just resumed reading this and I already forgor he existence~
Well its your lose and Melt’s gain, if only yuugo got change during his first day than maybe Claire would never leave Yuugo alone as some kind a duty wife tending her fiance or maybe she should have visit him at the infirmary to notice his change, the big what ‘IF’ moments, but hey it the author story, they want to pair claire with the loser zenon, go right ahead.
I wonder what else Yuugo will make a reference next? I hope he train with Melt while Phi research in ways to help her.
