Uh, isnât this getting a little too serious?
Even the Oath of the Peach Garden wasnât this dramatic!
I disrupted the mood.
âHey, weâre just drinking buddies who meet up occasionally. Donât get so intense. Iâm going to keep living a deeply embarrassing life, so you should just go with the flow too.â@@novelbin@@
âI meant what I said.â
âLet go of my hand. A handshake between friends doesnât need to go beyond this.â
ââ¦Understood.â
I spoke firmly, and he let go. A faint tingling sensation lingered in my hand.
I hadnât even said anything that significant, but his reaction was so⦠intense.
Almost enough to make me feel guilty.
Our connection will never last long.
If I safely marry Tristan, I wonât be coming here anymore.
â¦But if I donât?
Thatâs what Plan B was for.
Originally, I planned to earn enough coins to ask Madame Abigail to introduce me to a decent man. But now, even if I saved up money, Iâd have to use it for my sister.
Still, I wouldnât change my decision.
Percival deviated from the original story because of my influence⦠I canât let my sister marry him without at least having some kind of leash on his weak spot.
