Chapter 103 – Last Struggle

Bella handed over the potion given by Iwer.

“What is this?”

If Bella told her, Rosanne wouldn't want to use it with her personality because she is such an honest child. So, she tried to cover it up with a rough lie.

“Is this a… love potion.”

“….”

Did Rosanne know? She knew that the potion was famous, but she didn't know that even the daughter of Count Psilia in the outskirts would know it, too. Bella thought of replacing the bottle with something else.

Ha… I'm so sloppy no matter what I do.'

In the end, she had no choice but to add a little lie.

“Miss Rosanne, do you like His Highness Kiehl?”

“…What?”

She could tell without having to hear an answer. How could a person turn so red just by hearing his name?

Ah… Did you know?”

It must be that his feelings were not directed towards Rosanne, as Kiehl spent those wasted years searching for Bella.

“With this, His Highness will speak the truth.”

“His Highness… the truth?”

Rosanne accidentally accepted the potion offered by Bella.

“But… I already know.”

“You know?”

Bella raised her gaze from the potion slightly upward.

“His Highness doesn't like me.”

Seeing that even this simple Rosanne knew, she was a little embarrassed that she did not know. Even though she was bitter inside, Bella said it based on the truth.

“You two are destined. However… it's just that fate is twisted a little bit, and it keeps going wrong.”

“How does Lady Bella know that?”

“I am from another world… I came to connect the two of you.”

“But everyone said that Lady Bella would become the Crown Princess…”

Bella bit her lip.

“Even if it were me, I would connect the two of you.”

If only she could go back to the original story instead of relinquishing this heart. Thinking that this novel was paying for her twisted sins, she could humbly accept it.

With Bella's firm words, Rosanne hesitated more and spoke slowly.

“Yes, but… His Highness has someone else in mind…”

“What?”

At that, Bella doubted her own ears.

“…Who is that?”

Rosanne spoke the name slowly. The one who made Kiehl smile like that.

“…Iwer.”

“What b*stard.”

Rosanne was startled by the sudden curse and looked at Bella.

“It’s not her.”

“But, Iwer taught Kiehl about love…”

“You are Kiehl's destiny. Don't worry, do as I say, spray this and go.”

“…I can’t.”

“What does it matter? Do you love Kiehl?”

“But His Highness doesn't love me.”

Bella was annoyed by this repeating conversation.

“Iwer is a demon! How dare demons and the like set their eyes on our Kiehl?!”

“What…?”

“I’ll take care of that, so use that medicine.”

Bella barely restrained herself from wanting to put her hand on Rosanne's cheek.

“I-I… I don't think you should force people's feelings.”

As expected of the female lead, look at how straight and correct she was At one time, Bella also thought that she was upright, even until she was possessed in this novel… no, until she goes back to the underworld again. Still, she wasn't relaxed enough to think about it now.

She grabbed Rosanne's arm and dragged her straight to Kiehl's room.

“Lady… Bella?”

It was the last struggle.

* * *

It was no small thing that the magic explosion that only happened in the Fire Kingdom happened in the empire, especially in the second Crown Princess competition. In particular, when Rinne opened the space very loudly and even dropped a meteorite, voices were heard saying that it was a ‘fabricated incident.’

Kiehl sighed and flipped through the reports one by one.

For some reason, Rinne, who didn’t usually show much manners, was standing in a relaxed posture, wearing a wizard’s uniform.

“I hear things like this, but in the end, you didn’t even get what you wanted.”

“I was too greedy.”

In the end, it was Bella who stopped the meteorite, not Rinne. That was why the discussion about the Archwizards didn't come up as a topic.

“It’s okay because the results are bigger than I thought.”

Instead, more and more people are interested in Bella's magical powers.

“Lady Bella’s popularity has skyrocketed.”

“….”

“There were even rumors that she might be the reincarnation of Archwizard Ordi.”

Kiehl slammed the report on the table.

It was satisfactory.

‘I hope you follow me well.'

This grand story would become a trap and catch her, and he couldn’t let go of the responsibilities. So, even if Kiehl made her his Crown Princess, it wouldn't be strange.

“You talk to the representative of the Fire Kingdom delegation.”

“Leave it to me, Your Highness.”

Giving a playful salute with her hand, she left the room. As soon she opened the door, Rinne let out a ‘gasp,’ probably startled by the guard.

“…What's the matter?"

When Kiehl raised his head, he could see Rosanne standing there stiffly.

“I have something to tell you, Your Highness…”

As Rosanne stood holding the cactus in bloom, Kiehl looked at her with slightly surprised eyes.

“Lady that had participated in the competition…”

Turned out, she had been eliminated. When Kiehl nodded, the guard sent Rosanne inside and closed the door.

“This is the cactus Lady Bella gave me, but it has blossomed.”

He sat and glanced up at Rosanne.

“…Are you here to talk about that?”

He let out a small sigh. Since he had a lot to do and didn’t have time, so should he listen to this nonsense?

“You see…”

While Rosanne fidgeted, Kiehl looked down calmly, holding the report he needed to see with a peek.

“Kiehl, the person you like… I heard it's a demon.”

He didn’t know how Rosanne knew that, but he wondered if she was going to blackmail him with it.

“…So?”

“You can’t do that with demons.”

“Who said that?”

“Miss Bella.”

Kiehl was speechless for a moment. Did Bella say that knowing who he actually liked?

“Lady Bella says you and I are destined.”

“….”

“I thought so, too… I keep thinking that you are like my destiny.”

He crumpled the report in his hand.

“I decide my destiny. It’s not you.”

At those words, Rosanne slowly lowered her gaze to the potion on top of the cactus pot.

* * *

Bella returned to her own room, infested with the demons to find peace of mind as she punisheed Iwer. At first, she brought a whip and beat her, but Iwer rather liked it. It was only when she hung her upside down from the ceiling did Iwer realized it was punishment.

“I was just kidding, and that's only once!”

Bella let out a deep breath. All of these demons, who should never be involved in this novel, had made a fuss.

“I plan to… find, catch, and kill everyone who played this story.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Shut up.”

Aahh. I like when you stare at me like that.”

Bella clicked her tongue and looked away from her.

‘I really can't do it.'

It was when the sunset embroidered the sky outside the window. Bella, who was punishing Iwer, smiled bitterly, seeing the unexpected visitor.

“… Kiehl.”

Kiehl stood with a red face, his hair slightly tousled.

‘What are you doing here…’

While thinking, Bella bit her lip. Since she personally dragged Rosanne to the front of Kiehl's room, something must have happened with Rosanne.

“What is it?”

A long dress hung in Kiehl's hand.

“Do you want to try this on?”

At that, Iwer and Pur’s eyes flashed and they rushed at the dress.

“Both of you get out.”

When Kiehl spoke softly, Iwer caught on at once though Pur shook her head.

“No! I change the Princess’s clothes…”

Perhaps knowing this, Kiehl took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Purr. When they both left, he approached Bella softly.

“I came with a letter from Cruelle family to give to Bella, but I forgot about it for a second.”

It was rather strange for the Crown Prince to bring something like that himself. Nonetheless, Bella took the dress anyway. Having changed the clothes over the veil, she showed the skirt in front of him.

“…Is it okay?”

“I think the clothes are a bit big.”

“It’s fine. Do you have a hat too?”

She even took the hat and put it on her head before spinning around.

“Is it okay?”

“Yes. It suits you well.”

As she glanced at Kiehl, the light of the sunset gently settled on his hair. At the same time, his amber eyes reminded her of sweet honey.

Looking at his slightly smiling face, Bella bit her lip.

‘…Can I relinquish this heart?’

Like Rosanne said in the morning.

—“You can't force a person’s heart.”

Could she force her heart on her own?

Bella wanted to get rid of Kiehl quickly. The more she looked, the more her greed seemed to surround her.

“Then, you can wear this tomorrow….”

She hastily took off the hat.

Feeling that her hair was slightly moistened, she looked inside the hat. Why was the empty potion bottle here?

“…This?”

While Bella was staring blankly, Kiehl came right in front of Bella before she knew it.

“I confiscated it because Rosanne was carrying something strange.”

Bella slowly raised her head.

“I forgot to put it there for a while because I have a lot of things to bring.”

Raising her hand and touching the crown of her head, a trickling sound came, and the sound of water falling was heard.

“It looks like something inside leaked out a little bit.”

Kiehl came over and put her hand lightly on her head.

“Sorry. Are you hurt?”

“N, no.”

“Really?”

She never thought that the potion she had given to Rosanne would backfire.

The charm of the potion begins, so she had to run away.

“…I'm glad.”

Saying so, he gazed down at her with worried eyes, and from that moment, Bella couldn't move.

“…Yes.”

His eyes, like clear and transparent honey from a while ago, gradually turn into thick honey. When she was caught in that amber net, Kiehl slowly parted his lips and called her name strangely.

“Bella.”

His gaze, which met her eyes, slightly lowered to Bella's lips.

“…Pretty.”

Bella now knew who changed the novel.

‘…It must have been me.'

Under the calm surface, a whirlpool was swirling beneath the water though it had been splashing around without her knowing anything until now.

‘Because I love you so much… it's changed.'

…Even though it was returning as a tidal wave like a boomerang.

— “If the ending does not follow the original story, I believe it was changed by the will of the possessed person.”

His lips were attracted to her, but she couldn't resist.
