"Haha… of course, my daughter. You can get ready. It's nice to see you excited like this," replied Mr. Shcoutz father who immediately made Monna kiss her parent's cheeks. And dash away before anyone changes their mind or prevents it.
Monna returned to her bedroom to reflect.
In fact, the news of Belhart's return to their country could only make Monna feel uncomfortable and anxious. The big news, only made Monna aware of the fact that she was the bride-to-be of a royal hero who would soon ascend the throne.
Belhart who managed to fly the flag of victory all over the country, in the end, will hold the status of the king for all the people in the land of Geraldy. He will be appointed emperor as well as ruler shortly after he returns and was married.
And because Cattarina, who was the only prospective empress who would marry him, like it or not she had to confront the fact that she was going to marry a man she didn't know at all.
Ah, no. She knew Belhart through Cattarina's real memory. But She knew Belhart only from the memory of her.
In any case, Monna doesn't know that guy very well !!
Let alone getting married, being friendly, and embracing that man would give Monna goosebumps all over her body if she had to imagine it.
To hell with all the good looks told in the novel about the handsome face of the crown prince who has a heart of steel but has gold in it.
This was Monna's life in Cattarina form. And the life of Cattarina who had turned into Monna literally.
She really doesn't want to marry a man she doesn't love!
Okay, that guy might be loved by the old Cattarina. But the present Cattarina didn't feel any meaningful feelings towards him! And that was still true until today.
Even now, Monna was still confused, why Cattarina can still love Belhart who treats her coldly and harshly.
Based on the storyline in the novel, even though Cattarina managed to marry Belhart, even Belhart never responded to Cattarina's feelings until the end. That man treated Cattarina very cold and indifferent, sometimes even rude even though they were married.
In front of other people, Belhart might be able to be friendly to her. But behind that, when they weren't in the public spotlight, Cattarina was just a display for Belhart.
Belhart never touched Cattarina.
Even though Cattarina had used various means so that she could carry out her duties as a real wife within their sphere, Belhart never once responded.
The moment when everyone will stare at Cattarina with passion and wild imagination, Belhart looks at her with disgust and sharpness.
Until finally, all his treatment made Cattarina completely insane and lost control. She had dark eyes and several times tried to do crazy things that no one else could tolerate. She was even able to laugh at the suffering of those she had hurt with a contented heart.
What an antagonist role that really animates her role!
Okay, get there first the understanding of how Cattarina feels to the extraordinary Belhart. And how Belhart treats Cattarina was very unusual.
Thanks to all that knowledge, currently Monna was eager to build a new Cattarina identity into an evolved Cattarina. She must be a Cattarina who was well-known and has a noble character according to her name and face.
Monna doesn't want to be Cattarina, the antagonist who acts badly and likes to torture people. She needs to come up with a happy ending for herself as well as for others.
What a fool with all the ridiculous feelings that Cattarina used to have on Belhart. Now, she wasn't the old Cattarina.
But what exactly should Cattarina do to change every path of her life into what she wants, Monna still doesn't know. She still had to figure out how. A safe way, which can make everyone in the story of this novel feel happy, including herself.
It had been about an hour that Cattarina thought back to all the events she had experienced from childhood to adulthood. Her first meeting with Belhart. Her family's heartfelt treatment. And her greedy and selfish traits.
Until finally she fell asleep without realizing it and had a nightmare.
At the first, that dream was not bad because there were many flashes of events that she had experienced. Starting from her happy childhood to her meeting with Belhart which immediately made her fallen in love with him.
Then, her wedding day took place with grandeur and joy. As well as her life after married which was full of twists and turns. The emergence of new people who grab her husband's attention. As well as the enormous anger she felt because she was very jealous. Until finally ended up injuring Alliesia.
In her sleep, Monna repeatedly felt uneasy and comfortable. She overlooked some vague words. And began to break out in a cold sweat as her dreams turned to the days leading up to the last day of her life.
The horrific event, which required her to witness her entire family being hanged and executed by gunfire. Until she finally saw those eyes very clearly.
Dark eyes emitted a thirst for blood. And sharp eyes that emitted immense rage.
A gaze that could even tear the body of anyone who saw it.
Eyes that were only for hers. The eyes of her loved ones. Eyes that also destroyed everything she had.
"Aaaaa !!"
Monna felt her stomach being stabbed strongly by a sword that was drawn sharp.
Even though at this time she was still sleeping on her bed. But the dream felt so real. Unclear feelings, who knows what it was, mixed into one.
Between the shock of being shocked to accept the reality, disappointed to have ended with such an ending, and sadness that her life ended in the hands of the person she most concerned with for the rest of her life than anyone in her world.
