Chapter 2: 2.1

Of course, the person I liked best was my fiance in the past. Besides, he looked decent on the outside. It seemed as though it couldn’t be any better for anyone in that situation!

I knew that it wouldn’t be easy to break this engagement. So I clenched my teeth and proclaimed that the battle had begun.

I looked like an eight-year-old kid, but my thoughts and actions were already those of a thirty-year-old!

Wow!

Come to think of it, I’m the same age as my mom, right?

But what’s important now is the present.

As my body became younger, my mental age seemed to adjust as well.

When I saw my mother, I wanted to be a child. Isn’t there a saying that a child is a child for life?

Even if I am older now, I was still a young kid in front of my parents.

And wouldn’t it be better to act like an eight-year-old now? Adults have adult ways to solve a problem, but children have their own ways of doing it.

The engagement between Gerald and I was a story between our families even before we were born. It had already been decided.

The grandparents of both families also played a part in the engagement. The engagement was made when we were still babies in our mothers’ wombs. The solidarity between the two families became stronger, and our families became more prosperous and stable.

That’s why I lay down crying. Knowing that it is not something to be solved rationally, it is best to go out emotionally and as a child.

My mom and dad were embarrassed to see me paddling on the rug.

“I don’t want to! I don’t want to anymore!”

What should I say?

‘I have lived with him for eight years, and I can’t live with him anymore?’

Anyway, I had nothing else that I could say, so this was the best thing I could say as an eight-year-old kid.

“Okay, okay. Lulu, stop crying.”

“Huh?”

“Dad’s heart is breaking.”

Eventually, my dad, who had already raised his hands in surrender, comforted me gently. I could hear my mother sighing from the side.

I giggled silently and hugged my dad.

Dad said as if he couldn’t help it. “Since you hate it so much, I’ll have to postpone the engagement, honey.”

“No! I won’t do it!”

I’m not going to do it ever.

I knocked on my dad’s shoulder with a stuffy nose. Maybe because I cried so much, my nose is full of stuffy sounds.

My dad couldn’t defeat me and corrected his words again.

“Okay, okay! Honey, why do you hate it so much . . .

“I’ll write to the duke’s wife, the duchess, honey. Oh, my. This stubborn kid. Who did you take after to act like this?”

Everyone said I look like my mom. I look like my maternal grandmother, too.

My mom pressed a tissue to my nose.

It had been a long time since someone did this.

I blew my nose in an instant.

My mom swept back my hair and kissed me on the cheek.

My mother showed me her sign of surrender.

Well, that’s a relief.

I achieved the biggest goal of my life at the age of eight.

I will never get involved in a marriage with him!

After breaking the engagement, I felt even better. I scooped up the ice cream that my mom allowed me for today only and put it in my mouth.

Initially, snacks were prohibited before going to bed, but they allowed me when they saw my face red from crying.

At the age of thirty, I could eat sweet things whenever I wanted, but this was a little uncomfortable.

Gerald didn’t care what I did. He rolled around on the bed, ate cookies, and giggled while reading romance novels.

Of course, I know that I, who grew up as a little princess all my life, no one could resist as well. I do my job without any responsibility.

I have lived my whole life to be a duchess. I think I was a pretty good duchess myself.

Eyy! Why are you thinking about him right now?

You just divorced him today! You are already a stranger to him! Why on Earth are you looking into your memories with him?

It would be best if you think more productively, Louella. I thought to herself.

Good. Once I’m at the right age, I’ll choose the right person and enjoy dating freely. Then we kiss and hold hands.

Just thinking about it makes me feel shy.

It’s like a mix of curiosity and fantasy about something I’ve never done before.

Most of the men would debut in the imperial society. I was thinking of the men I knew before returning and imagining dating them happily after breaking the engagement with Gerald.
