It’s not your fault. You’re not bad-looking, you’re a top-notch pianist, and you’re an interesting girl to talk to… I’m sure you’re the perfect person to marry.
As proof of this, my parents were very fond of Charlotte. They were happy to have such a good-natured girl as their daughter.
I want you to live your life with confidence. Don’t be discouraged by the fact that you’re attractive enough to go on with your life.
Yes, I had no choice.
The beautiful Miri Arzel—you could almost say she was a fairy or an angel.
Her long, beautiful black hair and ruby eyes are more beautiful than any work of art, and she’s also very pretty.
At the party, I fell in love with her at first sight.
But there were many who liked Miri, and I heard rumors that royalty was also after her.
As a man, it’s not cool to ask for her hand and get rejected.
So I compromised with Charlotte.
But that day… I was shocked, as if I’d been struck by lightning.
To my surprise, Miri had cried that she had always loved me and had fallen ill.
I couldn’t keep quiet. Before I knew it, my body was on its way to Count Arzel’s house.
Because the woman I fell in love with at first sight had become ill as a result of my presence.
As a man, I had no choice but to go and see her.
And I hugged Miri, who was crying in her room…”
“Charlotte, I’m going to marry Miri, who is as beautiful as an angel and loves me so much.”
I’ve decided to marry Miri.
Because you know what?
—It’s a miracle that the person I fell in love with at first sight loves me; it would be crazy of a person to ignore it.
I’m sorry, Charlotte, but I’m going to be happy.
I’ll be happy. A life where I turn around and see Miri’s face there… I can just imagine it.
