chapter 6

I stopped panting and didn't realize that the rain had gotten stronger. I scoffed and laughed softly.

I felt someone put a coat on my shoulders, oh it was that prince from Vastrolav Empire.

He also had a small parasol with him so that I wouldn't get wet in the rain. "What are you doing here... I'm sure the ceremony isn't over yet."

I said coldly, he didn't move. I clenched my fist and calmed myself down. "You think I'm a laughable person, don't you?"

He didn't answer again and I didn't move either, where did I go wrong? I felt like a fool there, expecting to be the queen.

Expecting that I'd rule the same kingdom again, expecting to feel happiness again. I just got reborn but this happened immediately.

"Have you ever loved someone?" despite the fact that he didn't answer my questions, I feel like talking and bursting secrets now.

I bottled up a lot of emotions, I didn't tell anyone and I kept it to myself even in my first life.

"Yes." I stopped at his answer and looked at him. I laughed and bowed again, of course he does.

"He can say it first, right? He could have told me so that I could be ready for the painful impact he caused." I ranted.

Who cares if I'm doing this today, so what if I talked a lot today. So what if I ranted so much?

Is that forbidden Rain?! you would be mad if you saw me like this, you would be mad when I become talktakive.

You would get mad if I ranted about such little things! Even though you are like that, I accepted you! "Did he really love me?" I cried and whispered.

I remembered the past, my first life. "We were happy, maybe I didn't make a mistake, right? I didn't make him angry, did I? So why?"

"If he is angry or if I did something wrong. I can fix it! he wants me tough! I can be like that, I can do all that.

"So please, why did I become a second choice? Why didn't I become queen?” my voice is getting smaller and smaller. "Where did I go wrong?"

Did he really love me before? He said he loved me but why is he looking for someone else? Is he really that greedy for love?

He's that greedy that I'm not enough? I'm starting to doubt my first life. I calmed down but my brain is still in trouble. I don't know how many minutes or hours I was on my knees.

I noticed that I was very dirty from kneeling on the ground. Since it's raining, my clothes are more muddy.

I sighed together, I almost slipped because it was muddy. Good thing the prince caught me-

"HUH?!" I said surprised, because I was sober from my drama, I forgot that I was with someone.

Why am I so forgetful now? I also forgot that he was with me earlier when I was going to Rain-

"P-prince I'm so sorry! Please pardon my rudeness. I hope you forget what I said." This is why I have to keep shts to myself!

I cried, ranting about my life. I even dirty him! I just swallowed while bowing.

I embarrassed myself so much. I glanced at him and he's just staring at me. Will he not speak? "Uhm… please don't tell Ra- I mean King Rael about this."

If he heard what I have been saying, he will surely be mad. Maybe he will avoid me... I don't know what will happen to me if he does start avoiding me.

"Looking for..." I stopped. "The dear king is looking for you." He said weakly.

His voice sounds unwilling or something. But I didn't pay attention to that because I felt relieved when I heard Rain was looking for me.

I immediately grabbed his shoulder, even though he was tall, it was good that I reached his shoulder.

“Really!?” I bet he could hear my excitement now, but I calmed myself down. "Maybe he'll explain things to me."

I added, maybe he will tell me that it's just a joke! I mean he's the king now, he can do everything.

The prince from Vastrolav Empire didn't move, he offered his hand. Because it's slippery, I just accepted it.

I couldn't see his reaction or his whole face because he was still wearing a mask. so we walked back.

I noticed that there were only a few guests, I guess the others have gone home. I don't know how many hours I was lost.

We saw Rain outside the big entrance, greeting guests so they could go home. I immediately let go to the prince who was with me.

Run towards Rain at the same time. “Rain!” I shouted, the guests looked at me and were shocked maybe because of my dirty outfit.

Even Rain was surprised. "What's with your outfit!?" I can hear the shock and anger? In his voices. "Maids! Get her inside!”

The maids came out and pulled me in, I glanced back at the prince who brought me - I didn't even thank him.

I was let into the room and dressed by the maids. Rain is just at the side, sniffing the senses. “Rain, sor-

"What were you thinking!? In front of the guests?! Then you disappeared, the ceremony wasn't even over yet!” I was surprised because he was really angry.

"Wh-what? Why are you angry?" I asked, shouldn't I be the one to get angry after he made me his concubine?

"I can't believe you ruined this night just by showing up in a dirty dress in front of the guests. What will they think?!” I closed my mouth.

"Good thing Lady Odelia is here to entertain the others." He added and I titled my head, Odelia?

"Who?" I asked again. Lady Odelia? Who's that?

"Lady Odelia Creake." He answered. "My second concubine."
