Chapter 26
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
" I promise you! I'm going to marry you someday! I will find a way for both of us to be together!"
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
"Now, Tennou-chan! Who are you going to choose?"
"Why tell me about that now?" Tennou clenches his fist while glaring at the fox before him, only to receive a big smile from them.
This prick is seriously enjoying the drama right now.
"Where's the fun in that?" he said, clapping his hands while the latter was seething with rage.
"Stop messing around!" he exclaims, already enough with his antics.
He is fully aware of the man's personality, but he does not expect it to be this twisted. Does he love seeing others suffer?
"Fine! We shouldn't bring out the unwritten law unless necessary!" Arihiko said, putting his hands on his hips while stating the fact.
"Me wanting to marry Himari wasn't necessary then?!"
"Yeah, it wasn't necessary because, after all, you cannot marry her. But the circumstance that you gave me right now shows all the reasons as to why I said this unwritten law to you now!"
Tennou looks down, anger rushing to his body. Why did this happen? He messes up so badly. He hurts Himari, distances himself from his best friend, drags Mayumi through his plan, and threatens the girl he loves so much.
Maybe this is karma telling him how much worse the thing he had done. He gave Mayumi a look of pity. He hopes that the choice he'll make will be able to fix at least one of the problems that he did!
Looking apologetically at Mayumi, he turns to the fox before him.
"I choose...."
It's been two weeks since Mayumi's absence. Shihou can't do his plan since he still hasn't talked with her. What is the reason for her absence?
It probably consists of her engagement with Tennou, considering that even Tennou has also been absent from school for two weeks. To top it all off, Arihiko wanted the great family heads to gather because he had some announcements for them.
That announcement may have something to do with their engagement. Shihou hates this. Why did it come to this?
"Yo, Isami! Are you going home now?" His classmate asks him while holding a broom.
"Yes, I still have something to do. So I'll be going now!"
"Wait, lemme borrow your notebook, dude! We have a test tomorrow. I don't wanna fail!" His classmate begs as he stops him from leaving.
In normal circumstances, Shihou will push the guy off him and leave. But he is not in a stable state of mind right now, so he sighs, gives his notebook to his classmate, and leaves. He barely hears the surprise of his classmate shouting if he's sick or not.
Walking out of the school and nearing the gate, he began to think again. If they announced it sooner, would this happen? He knew that Tennou also had his eyes on Mayumi. He chose to ignore that and kept his guard down. Leading to this situation, sighing, he walks without a care in the world. If Mayumi is by his side right now, she will say how pathetic he is. He chuckles at the thought; he misses her so much.
"Shihou!!!"
He suddenly lost his thoughts when he heard someone call his name. But before he can even look up to know who it is. Someone took hold of his scarf, and before he could even comprehend what was happening. He feels soft lips touching his.
When he looked down, his eyes grew wide. Mayumi is there with her eyes closed, kissing him while holding him down by his scarf.
Shihou smiles internally and slowly holds her as he kisses her back; how he misses this! She is in his arms as they show their affection for each other. He slowly pulls back, touching Mayumi's cheek while smiling slightly.
He loses his smile when he suddenly remembers that Mayumi is engaged. He looks at her; confusion and sadness linger in his eyes.
"Mayu, why? Aren't you?" He can't bear to finish the sentence because it hurts him so much, but all the sadness slowly leaves when he sees her smile brightly with small tears lingering in her eyes and says,
"The engagement has already been broken off! I'm no longer Tennou's fiance!"
At that moment, Shihou felt like she had pulled off the massive burden from him. He was so ecstatic to hear that news, and here he thought there was no longer any chance.
"But how? You can't break a Miya's engagement unless you're from the noble family!" Mayumi smiled as she began to tell him what had happened.
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
"Tennou!" She yelled, chasing after the boy. It's only been a minute since Tennou declared his choice. After saying his answer, he quickly leaves the room, making her run off after him. He stops in his tracks and looks at her.
"What do you need, Kitty?" He asks playfully, but she knows that he's hurting inside.
Being with his company lately made Mayumi notice what kind of personality Tennou has. She can now see him keeping his self-control and sadness using his mask.
"Why did you choose me? I thought you like Himari?"
Tennou looks at her with no emotion before looking forward.
"I'm not dumb enough not to know what he means by "circumstances"! Did you think hard about what happened there?" He asks, glancing at her through the corner of his eyes.
Mayumi remains quiet because she doesn't know what to say. Everything was so overwhelming that she couldn't fully process all the information that had just transpired.
Tennou sighs, crossing his arms, and looks at her. His face shows that he is already aware of what's going on in her mind.
"Figures..."
"Eh?"
Was he aware that she wouldn't be able to understand anything?
"Even if I choose to remove Himari's title. I still can't be together with her again!"
"Why?"
Tennou looks at her with slight annoyance. The girl is bright, but when it comes to things like this, she is dumb.
"Are you even using your head, Kitty? I'm engaged to you! What makes you think I'll be with Himari with her title gone? That's the circumstances the fox was talking about. No matter what choice I make, I can't be with her! Anyway, let's go already! We still have paperwork to do, and this will take a long time to finish!" He said as he began to leave.
~~~•••~~~•••~~~•••~~~
"So it means he fools everyone, huh? Then you already know what happened back then?!"
"Yep, Himari already briefly said it to me. But Tennou is the one who confirmed it! Anyway, umm, I'm sorry I did not let you explain yourself. I was bothered by Tennou then, and seeing that happen made me do something without thinking about it. I'm sorry!" Mayumi said, lightly rubbing her head in embarrassment as she looked down at the floor.
Shihou smiled and held her chin to make her look at him. He misses her so much.
"Don't think that I did not do anything to make you mine again!" He said seriously with a handsome smile, making her face bright red.
" I did not say anything about that!" She yelled out of embarrassment, causing a chuckle out of him.
"Now, you'll be my bride again, right?" Shihou smiled, holding both cheeks and putting his forehead with hers. Mayumi smiles as she puts her hands on his.
"Yes, of course. I'll be your bride!"
"Good! This time, I won't let you go!" He said as he kissed her lips.
Shihou never thought that things would go this way, but he's still happy that they are now back together and happy. This time, he'll finally announce to everyone that she is his bride, and he'll thank whoever god makes them meet on that fateful day.Download Novelah App
