In Place of Losing My Memory, I Remembered That I Was the Fiancée of the Capture Target - Chapter 5.5

“What do you mean by this, Xia?”

Prince Leopold stood halfway up the stairs.

He ran up the remaining steps and grabbed my arm. “Next year? Why so soon?”

“Patrick wants it that way…” I looked up at the Prince. “…And I wish for it too.”

“You’re going to belong to someone else?”

“…Yes.” The Prince’s grip tightened at my response.

“———Xia… have you truly forgotten everything?”

“…I am sorry.” I lowered my face. How much the former me loved the Prince… I couldn’t know. But the current me… loves Patrick more than anyone else.

“I… love Patrick. I wish to marry him. So… Your Highness, please cherish Lady Bridget.”

The long silence was terrifying; I was afraid of what expression the Prince might have.

“Leopold.”

I heard Bridget’s voice.

“She is no longer the Alexia you once knew.”

When I looked up, Bridget was standing beside the Prince.

“No matter how much you chase after her, she will not look back at you. It’s time to…”

“You have no right to tell me that.”

“———I am your fiancée.”

Bridget took hold of the Prince’s arm.

“I will be your partner. I will be by your side for the rest of our lives…”

“I do not wish for that.”

“Leopold!”

Bridget tightened her grip on the Prince’s arm as he tried to shake her off.

“Accept reality already…”

“Let go of me!”

The Prince swung his arm, causing Bridget to lose her balance. She began to fall toward…

“Watch out!”

I moved without thinking.

I grabbed Bridget as she was about to fall down the stairs. And then… my vision spun———

I felt my body floating in the air.

“Xia!”

I heard the Prince’s voice calling from afar.

“Promise me, Xia.”

“Yes”

“I swear on this necklace that I will love you forever.”

“I swear to love only you, Leo, no matter what happens.”

“I won’t forgive you if you break it.”

“Hehe, me neither.”

Ah, this is a punishment.

———For the me who changed my heart.
