I Don’t Want Your Salvation

“Sacrifice yourself for the Archen Empire, Lucid.”

Foresight, the ability of her clan.

Melissa endured tremendous pain as its price, still bearing it.

Because she believed in her fiancé’s words that he would save her.

But everything was a lie.

“I didn’t think you still hadn’t noticed, but that engagement was fake. It was done in case you might try to leave the ducal family.”

In that hellish moment, he turned his back on Melissa, and so she closed her eyes.

When she regained consciousness, it was six years earlier.

Back then, before everything had begun.

Having gained this opportunity with difficulty, she now decided to live for herself.

As if to encourage Melissa, an oracle descended.

Saying it had sent down a savior for her.

……But why are you standing before me?

Possessing all the conditions of the savior.

“I missed you, Melissa.”

The man who had poured harsh words on Melissa whispered affectionately as if he had become a different person.

“Didn’t I already tell you before? That I like you.”

Why only now?

Melissa, struggling in a desperate situation, made a resolution.

“I like you too, Edgar.”

If you truly are the savior, I will use you properly, she thought.
