Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter (Web Novel) - Chapter 105 — Negotiations 2
Chapter 105: Negotiations 2
Van bit his lip hard.
“…So, I don’t plan to continue negotiating with you. Please forgive me for departing now.”
“…Please wait!”
He approached me as I stood up.
But Tanya, Ryle, and Dida stood between me and him.
“Do you have any more business with me?”
“I, I…!”
I observed Van coolly as he shouted.
“What should I do! Help me please!”
Help me please…hm. Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but start laughing scornfully.
“Why oh why must I help you?”
“That…”
“I’m the ‘evil woman’ who was picking on the ‘gentle’ Yuri, right? Didn’t you already admonish me alongside Sir Edward? You want a person like that to help you without offering me anything in return?”
My voice was so cold that I scared even myself.
Hearing his pleas for help, my mind remained blank, thoughtless.
Of course I had no sympathy for him. And my position was no longer the warped sense of satisfaction I had felt in the past.
All that there was was…nothing. It really felt like nothing. I no longer cared what happened to him anymore
“My father was rejected from the position of the pope. But I thought that Yuri would continue to be by my side, just like before…!”
“But he suddenly became a stranger. As if we’d never known each other.”
All in all, all Yuri wanted was the power of the church backing him up.
“Everyone else too, they were completely different. So cold. I…”
“So what?”
I answered coldly.
“Treated like a stranger by those you love? Everyone became cold, uncaring? Even if that’s your situation, I don’t really care. You must not have cared either when you chased me out of the academy, hm?”
Hearing me mock him, his face contorted.
“…Ah, it’s true. Yes, I stood on the side that pushed you out. And after doing that I still came here. Even I feel that I’m being an idiot.”
“Oh? It’s good that you understand that. If that’s the case, then please leave as soon as possible.”
“But even so, I can’t give up. I want to show the people who left me behind that they’re wrong. I don’t want to just give up without doing anything!”
“Ha…”
Hearing him snarl, I laughed. Was it mockery of him? Not completely so.
Unbelievable. Such a laidback, easy-going fellow, becoming like this because of how badly he wants change.
His face still twisted, he shouted, even though he knew that it was hopeless, so disheveled I could hardly connect him in my mind with the man I had known at the academy.
“Ah, yes. Honestly, I don’t care about the country. I just want the people who’ve abandoned me to come back. That’s why I’m here…!”
“So what if they come back? You beg for her love? Beg that you can continue to stand by her side?”
