Chapter 60 – Behind the Scenes

Episode 60 – Behind the scenes

Fortunately, the Dark Church’s attack ended without significant damage.

To say that it was not large, the total number of casualties was 50 and only half of the dead, but considering the aspects of this attack, it could be said that it was rather small.

The injured students were transported to the recovery room and are said to be in stable condition with treatment from priests.

After receiving a brief treatment, I headed to the dormitory and ran into Abel and his group.

“Luan. I have something to tell you. “Can you give me some time?”

“… Okay. “As much as you want.”

“Thank you. Then please follow me.”

We moved to the vacant lot behind the old school building, out of sight of other students.

Abel looked at me and asked.

“Luan. Was the reason you ran away from the south gate to ask Professor Sara for help?”

“… No.”

“Then? “I wish you could tell me the reason.”

Despite her betrayal, she is given a chance to defend herself, which is a very good protagonist.

Instead of answering, I looked around.

Although there are differences in each person’s degree, they all look clearly disappointed.

‘Maybe what Shakra said is right.’

A simple betrayal would be enough to get me to this point, but if they found out my true identity, everyone would hate and despise me.

That time when I was thinking of self-mocking thoughts.

-Luan are you okay?

A cautious voice rang in my head.

When I looked at the epicenter, purple eyes full of worry were looking at me.

Even though she knew my identity and had even been raped herself, Deborah still showed me favor.

She knows why I ran away and why I fought so hard for them.

The agitation subsided in an instant.

‘Okay. I don’t mind.’

If there is just one person who understands my will, I can endure any persecution.

So, you can also do something like this.

Shake it off!

“I’m so sorry everyone.”

I knelt so hard on the ground, bowed my head and apologized.

Looks of embarrassment were felt everywhere, as if they had never thought that the famous idiot would bend his pride like this.

Yas came quickly and helped me up.

“Hey, hey! Wake up! Why do you go to such lengths? I forgot everything. “Friends don’t ask about sin among friends.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yeah dude! I’m going to run away later, so please watch over me then? Do you understand?”

A question rose up in my throat as to whether we should be more critical of each other since we are friends, but there would be no benefit in saying such things now, so I decided to hold back.

Meanwhile, Deborah came up to me in a hurry and grabbed my other hand hers.

“I forgot you too! There is nothing to forgive in the first place! You went to ask Professor Sarah for help. Right?”

“…”

“Look! They say so!”

I couldn’t bear to lie, so I stayed silent, so Deborah interpreted it however she wanted and shouted at everyone.

Of course, the expressions on the rest of the group’s faces did not calm down at all.

Alyssa refuted with an expression that made her look like she was looking at a bug.

“Well? “I don’t believe it?”

“Why?”

“That’s because I didn’t see that trash came with Professor Sarah. If you really went there to ask for help, shouldn’t you be together? But you came alone, right? “At least he must have been hiding somewhere and came out.”

“This is ridiculous! That’s just a guess!”

“What doesn’t make sense? Deborah, how can you be so sure? That scum didn’t say anything, but he decided to do it on his own. Or what is the relationship between you two? “Is that why you cover it like that?”

“Well, that’s…”

Deborah looked like she wanted to say a lot, but she couldn’t reveal it too quickly, so she kept her mouth shut.

Doubts begin to appear in her eyes as she looks at me and her, wondering what her actions mean to others.

Sensing that the atmosphere was about to turn strange, I quickly stepped forward.

“Alyssa. Then what do you want to do?”

“Me? Of course I want to kill you. I want to kill him… If I do that, I won’t be able to repay my debt to Hyeon, so I’ll put up with it. Instead, we should spread the word.”

“Rumors?”

“Okay. Rumor has it that you abandoned us and ran away. Are you willing to handle that much?”

“…”

Alyssa will never let this matter go by. If harm cannot be caused directly, the intention is to isolate others by encouraging them.

But there was something she overlooked.

‘Hyejande?’

My rumor is already so messed up that it is impossible to straighten it out, so it doesn’t cause much damage at all.

The moment I was about to accept, Abel, who was watching, intervened.

“Alyssa. That’s not possible.”

“What? Why?”

“It’s not right. It’s true that Luan was wrong, but it’s too much to spread rumors about it.”

“Too much? Did you forget? “If it weren’t for Hyun, we would have died!”

When Abel, who must have felt the most betrayed by her, went against her opinion, Alyssa became excited and poured out her furious emotions.

When confronting her, Abel showed a cool-headed side that he usually does not see.

“Alyssa. Don’t blame it all on Luan. There was no chance for us to win in that situation anyway. “You know.”

“Tsk… ! But I can’t just ignore it!”

Alyssa’s attitude she was stubborn.

Because she wants revenge not only for this incident, but also for raping her.

Just as this frustrating situation was about to continue, Scadia approached me.

Even though her movements were obviously nothing special, they strangely caught my attention. Even Alyssa and Abel, who were engaged in an unyielding war of words, focused on her.

In the midst of her attention, she made a bombshell statement.

“Luan. “We’re breaking off our engagement.”

The moment the word spread, a heavy silence fell on the vacant lot.

Even Alyssa, who wanted to spread the rumor about her, couldn’t say anything and only kept her mouth shut, so it goes without saying that she was other people.

I asked her back.

“What?”

“Let’s break off the engagement. I definitely realized this through this incident. I can’t be with you. Now set me free.”

I understand Skadia’s intentions her.

The reason why she says this in this place and not in person.

She wants May I rebel. By shamelessly denying, I hope you prove that you are not reflecting at all. So may others despise it.

Even though I knew that, I had no choice but to be swayed by Skadia’s intentions her.

‘Damn.’

If you’re a bastard Ruan Friuli, the reaction you’ll give here is predetermined.

Just as I was about to open my mouth, I suddenly caught Deborah’s gaze.

The worry-filled purple eyes she somehow made me want to act foolishly.

‘For a moment. There was a way.’

A good idea just occurred to me.

With a repentant smile, I faced Scadia directly and answered.

“Okay. Let’s break off the engagement.”

“… Yes?”

Perhaps surprised by the easy acceptance of her, Skadia’s eyes widened.

I gave a definite answer.

“Let’s break off the engagement. I’ll send a letter of divorce to the Maryland mansion during vacation. Let’s end it with that. “Is this okay?”

“… Are you serious?”

“Okay. “I have no regrets about you anymore.”

Because I found someone more precious.

Although he didn’t say anything, he looked at Deborah as if revealing his true feelings.

As soon as Scadia turned her head to follow my gaze and saw Deborah, she froze.

The other party members all react in the same way as Skadi after seeing Deborah.

Yas was the only one who expressed admiration.

“You bastard. Whenever… !”

She wasn’t satisfied with being a pretty fiancee, so he showed her jealousy, as if he was jealous that she had seduced Deborah as well.

And Deborah, who was struck by her strange misunderstanding, was embarrassed. I quickly sent her a message before she came to her senses.

-Deborah. Please just this once.

Deborah’s pitiful eyes fixed on me.

She lowered her head as if she wanted to deny it while writing her own story.

The group seemed to understand the reaction with approval and sighed softly.

Scadia opened her mouth.

“… It was something like that. Great. That’s how I do it. If you don’t send me a letter of divorce, I will tell my father everything about this. Do you agree?”

“But much. Is there anything else to say?”

“No. Then… “I’ll just leave.”

Scadia left the clearing despite some hesitation as if there was something unclear.

After she disappeared, I sighed softly and stared at Alyssa.

“Alyssa. Well then, let’s talk again. Speaking of rumors…”

“For a moment! That’s enough.”

“What?”

“It’s done. Thanks to you, I learned something interesting. “I’ll skip it this time.”

Alyssa looked at Deborah and me alternately, chuckled, and then left the clearing.

With her biggest obstacle gone, Abel smiled contentedly and put the situation in order.

“So everything about Luan is over? “Isn’t there anyone still dissatisfied?”

Everyone nodded their heads willingly when asked.

Only Uni muttered with an uneasy expression.

Because she likes Abel, she won’t like me for betraying her.

Anyway, with this, I was able to avoid my reputation from falling through the floor and into the abyss.

After a while, Abel and his group left, leaving Deborah and I alone in the clearing.

Deborah immediately grabbed me by the collar.

“What on earth have you done! Why did you do that! Why!”

“Sorry. Still, I couldn’t help it.”

“What on earth! What will you do if a strange rumor spreads? Didn’t you see Alyssa’s face just now? “I will definitely spread the word!”

Clearly, with Alyssa’s personality, she is more than capable of creating rumors. It’s just that the content changes from being a traitor to being about love.

I patted Deborah on the shoulder.

“Calm down. Anyway, next week is school vacation. If you just one day, you won’t have to see each other survive for a month. “By that time, the kids will have completely forgotten, right?”

I have no intention of seriously portraying Deborah and her relationship.

It’s enough if you can just get over the current situation.

If you ask me later, there is no problem if you say that I just meant it differently and that you just made a mistake.

However, Deborah’s next words hit my weak spot.

“Do you think I’m saying this because of the other kids? What about Master! Is it okay for Master to know?”

“Uh? “Master?”

“Yes! How interested you are! If it’s a rumor, you’ll definitely find out!”

“… That’s a bit of a problem.”

Through my experience so far, I knew how much Roxana cared for Deborah.

She would listen closely to all news related to Deborah, and if rumors of her relationship spread, she would no doubt keep an eye on the other person.

If she commits rape without knowing that she is being watched, her life will be in ruins.

As I remained silent with a serious look on my face, Deborah held her head in pain.

“Ugh… “I shouldn’t get caught.”

Did he make a promise to Roxana not to date her?

Even if I get caught, I’ll be the only one getting scolded, so I don’t know why Deborah is doing that too.

After thinking about it, I came up with a solution.

“Then how about this? “I’m starting several rumors.”

“… Multiple outlines?”

“Okay. I don’t know if Alyssa will really start a rumor, but she’s saying that we’re going to hit up a player and randomly hook them up and date them. Then even if rumors spread about us, the kids won’ t be that interested. Isn’t that right?”

“Oh, that’s right! Then people will think it’s just a rumor and move on!”

“Really?”

“Yes! “It’s a great idea!”

Deborah, who heard my genius method, smiled and was happy as if she had never been glum.

I think the kid is a bit simple.

“Anyway, this is the solution, right?”

“Yes! But how do you spread the word?”

Deborah looks at her with bright eyes, as if she’s about to come up with an innovative idea this time.

I betrayed her expectations.

“How should I know? You figure it out.”

“To… ?”

“I don’t really care if rumors spread. I just don’t like you. So, just figure it out. Got it? Then I’ll go.”

“Uh… Now, wait a minute! Stand there! Luan! Luan!!”

I left the clearing like a gale.

I heard a voice calling desperately from behind, but I quietly left the scene without even looking back.
