Breeding Season - Chapter 56
“Eek!”
“Eek!”
One after another, they all failed.
Each time, Siren was saddened by her own baseness and, at the same time, was happy.
If someone is eliminated, there is still an opportunity left for her.
‘I don’t want to lose the chance to become an important person to Yasamin. And… my life too. That I could be an important person somewhere. That the place where I belong was actually here.’
Wouldn’t it be okay to be greedy about this much now? I won’t ask for more, just this much.
While waiting, hiding her trembling heart, someone grabbed the circlet for the first time.
“Oh?”
A light flashed in Yasamin’s green eyes. The one holding the circlet was a mature woman in her 30s, and she didn’t seem to be a noble.
‘They’re all in the same clothes they were dragged from the royal castle, not in dresses. She’s also someone I don’t know.’
How did she get caught up in this?
Doesn’t that person have a family, children?
She doesn’t seem to be a maid either.
Siren, who was watching, felt pity for the first time.
She wondered how she dared to pity someone when she couldn’t even take care of her own future, but if she came to the royal castle to help with the wedding and was caught… wouldn’t she feel sorry?
‘She’s not even one of the royal castle people who tormented me. So I don’t hate her.’
The unknown woman with brown hair calmly lifted the circlet, but strangely, that was all. The circlet was only about 5 cm away from the glass pedestal.
“You go over there.”
“Yes.”
The woman, who had lowered her eyes, put the circlet back down and moved to the other side.
Now, about five people remained in front of Siren.
Among them was Angelique’s friend, who had tormented her so much.
“If you do this, wh-what will happen? Tell me, or I won’t touch it!”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll just cut off your wrist and bring it separately.”
“Such a ruffian…!”
She remembered the times she had ridiculed her at every banquet. She also remembered the times she had teased her with a mocking tone and tapped her head.
Perhaps that’s why she felt both gratified and bitter at the same time.
That child is still so stubborn.
I, who is a princess, succumbed so easily.
“Let go of this! Let go! Aaaaaah!”
In the end, she was dragged away by Yasamin’s men and was thrown off without even touching it.
She hadn’t really believed the words that the circlet had a will, but after witnessing it directly, she had no choice but to admit it.
The circlet clearly distinguished and treated those it wanted and those it didn’t.
“Last one. Sei, come on.”
Now there was no one in front of her. Only she, Yasamin, and the circlet.
Swallowing her dry saliva, she clenched her hands.
No one had worn the circlet on their head yet.
The feelings of ‘Maybe it’s me?’ and ‘Surely not’ were half mixed and collided. In that confused state, she reached the glass pedestal.
And……
“……!”
She stretched out her hand, bracing herself to be thrown off and fall inelegantly, but nothing happened, which was bewildering.
Looking at Yasamin’s expression, Siren very cautiously lifted the circlet.
“Gasp.”
“Did, did you just lift it?”
“Oh my God.”
The sound of people gasping for breath could be heard from here and there.
She had never received so much attention, so she kept wanting to step back, but since Yasamin was standing firmly, Siren took courage until the end.
Thump.
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
Her heart gradually beat faster.
It felt as if her heart was hanging at her fingertips.
The circlet was still in her hand, and there was no sign of it refusing.
In the end, Siren had no choice but to put it… on her head.
“Good heavens.”
“The one chosen by the King…!”
“Aquafuran! Our goddess! Ah, I have been waiting for this day…!”
Among the people surrounding the wall, those wearing blue clothes simultaneously ran forward and knelt before her.
They approached so desperately that she wondered if they would get hurt, and then they all slammed their heads on the floor and raised their hands.
