Volume 8 Chapter 54: Some Things Are Not Meant To Be
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Keith swung a hammer, banging a nail into the wood. He did this a few more times. He stared at the base of the pergola. Pretty good, if I do say so myself. The size of the pergola was smaller than the one he had built in his home. But it was more than enough on this island.
"Keith! I brought you some juice!" Fira and Mir quickly rushed to his side with a cup of mango juice.
"Thank you," Keith patted the two's head as he returned to work.
"No dice."
"He's completely absorbed in his work."
"...This is not normal," Diana and the great spirits watched from the side as the child worked. It was how normal he was acting. How could he be so focused on his work after all of that? Since Keith was on house arrest, he used his time focusing on his island.
"...Give him some space alone for now. That's what's best for him." Diana understood stuff like this would need some time to cool off.
While Keith focused on the pergola, Alfia and the rest headed to class. When they did, there was a strange silence in the group.
"Without Keith, things are really different," Scarlet sighed. That guy was their leader and would be making jokes. Herrick added, "So damn lucky, I wish I was on house arrest. I don't need to come here."
"..." You really think this is a reward? This stupid guy. As they talked with one another.
"Guys," Everyone turned their heads to see Carolyn. It was rare to see her since she had been talking with other students. She would also return to the Solis Kingdom to finalize some things.
"I want you guys to take this." Carolyn placed some envelopes down.
"What are these?"
"Wedding invitations."
"Eh?" The person who said it was none other than Scarlet.
Scarlet smiled, "As long as I'm with the man I love, I'm content." Having the person all to herself was something in her mind. But it was only an afterthought. Polygamy was common, and she didn't mind it since her father had three wives.
“...”
"Do you have to go through with this marriage? Even knowing what Alger is planning?" This was not about Keith any longer; this had to do with Alger's plan to use her, and they didn't know how.
"And we know you know as well." Carolyn wasn't a dense person. She must have some inkling of this.
"..."
Carolyn turned to Krystal, "Krystal, do you remember the words you have said to me before?"
"?"
"We nobles have no right to choose who we can love or cherish. And this applies to all of us." Carolyn turned to the two. All of them were going to inherit a high position one day.
"One mistake. Just one mistake is enough to cause millions of deaths." No matter how big or small, there would be a ripple effect with the choices they made.
"..." The three girls stayed silent.
"And besides, Alger is a better man than he is. He's a prince, handsome, and also influential. Even if I'm used, I can still live my life in luxury." Carolyn laughed as she raised her hand.
"..."
"At some point, we have to wake up from reality. Some things are not meant to be," Carolyn sighed as she walked away. Her figure was smaller than the other times.
