Thought It Was 'The End', Only to Return to a Changed Genre - Chapter 65
Adeline had been truly cruel to Shane. And to Genevieve as well.
She only wanted to liveâshe wasnât without conscience.
As such, she had no intention of seeking forgiveness from Shane or Genevieve. She had abandoned them to save herself.
Whenever Shaneâs attitude, eyes, or actions seemed too much like the old days, she buried those thoughts under denial.
No, it couldnât be. Really? No way. Iâm not that foolish. Itâs been five years, and Iâm a fraud now. No, surely notâŚ.
If only she were oblivious enough not to notice any nuances, it might have been easier. If she could truly believe that Shane only hated her, it would have been better.
âI didnât explain anything, so he could hate me all he wanted.â
Adeline hadnât explained her circumstances at all.
It wasnât a matter that could be logically explained or understood. Frankly, saying everything was because of mere nightmares sounded ridiculous. Even if it was a matter of life and death for Adeline.
Besides, in the dream, she was killed as soon as she tried to reveal the truth.
Since it was her first time being thrown into such a deadly situation, where her survival was at risk every step of the way, she couldnât judge what the right course of action was. She decided not to recklessly risk anything without knowing.
She didnât know who the sorcerer was yet, and the story had yet to reach The End.
Would the story conclude with the villain dying instead of the female lead finding happiness?
âAre novels originally about the battle of survival between the villain and the protagonist?â
It feels like a sweaty sports manga system. Given that the genre had change, it must have changed the endingâs criteria as well.
Nevertheless, Adelineâs top priority remained unchanged.
To not become a part of the storyâs mechanism.
She was determined to run away rather than be used again and suffer from nightmares.
The nightmares were that horrific. People who havenât experienced the feeling of being denied by the world and pushed to death wouldnât understand.
A world saying youâre the only obstacle, that everyone would be happy if you werenât there.
Seeing people moving according to their roles like puppets, feeling isolated.
Before the nightmares started again, she wanted to distance herself from the protagonists and secure a safe life.
However, perhaps running away wasnât the appropriate solution.
The result of her five-year escape was kidnapping, confinement, and forced marriage.
Another thing. Despite being back with the protagonists for over a month, she hadnât had any nightmares.
Perhaps the story where âAdelineâ had to die was over.
If thatâs the case, then the only thing left is to face it head-on.
Adeline planned to find out the sorcererâs identity and inform Crown Prince Edwin or Shane. If they got busy dealing with the sorcerer, she could use that opportunity to escape.
But.
âIf the problem disappears by capturing and killing the sorcerer.â
Adeline stared intently at Shaneâs face, holding her like a bamboo wife while sleeping.
It was an issue she had tried not to think about for a lifetime.
She resolved not to think about it if she couldnât have it.
Thatâs someone elseâs cake.
No matter how beautiful, coveting someone elseâs man brings divine retribution.
The female lead will make him happy, so stop worrying about pointless things and find a way to survive.
My life comes first. A romance that isnât mine wonât fill my stomach.
But with the ending already messed up and she was unable to run away….
Wouldnât there be no problem if the sorcerer was eliminated?
Then.
âIsnât it okay if I take him…?â
Since I canât run away anyway.
The reason she tried not to give her heart was… that she had already given so much of it.
It was impossible not to like someone who constantly confessed his love and acted so beautifully.
