The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Friends, Fiances, and Unexpected Matches}

“Did you talk to your friend?”

And about half an hour later, Theodore returned.

“Yes. I’m done.”

Yuria sent a slightly hot gaze as she approached Theodore even though her friend Ashley was watching.

Then, she openly pressed her body to Theodore, and Theodore hugged her face to face and asked.

“I don’t hesitate even in front of my friends.”

Her friend Ashley looked at her excitedly as she covered her lips with her hand while making a “Oh, oh, oh” Sound. Despite receiving her gaze, Theodore pointed out YuRia’s behavior of holding back her shyness and contacting her first, just like when they were alone.

“Theo, haven’t you heard of us?”

“I didn’t hear you.”

She asked Theodore if she hadn’t heard the conversation between her and Ashley, but Theodore didn’t listen to her answer.

In fact, with Theodore’s ability, he would have been able to detect each other’s location as well as detect what conversation was going on from afar.

But Theodore didn’t seem to be like that.

“I couldn’t overhear your conversations with your friends alone. Then there’s no point in avoiding the table.”

Yuria smiled slightly at Theodore’s consideration.

“Thanks, Theo.”

Yuria thanked him for his consideration and lightly kissed him on the lips. It was a light kiss that briefly touched and then fell, but Ashley’s admiration came from behind.

Hearing that sound, YuRia felt ashamed of herself, but she endured it.

“I’ll take her to the waiting room, so hold her hand.”

“Yes.”

Yuria held Theodore’s hand. And she held the other hand with Ashley, and Ashley was also going to the competition venue by teleportation.

Sitting in her seat, she would cheer for Yuria.

Theodore took her Yuria directly to her waiting room.

“Then do your best in the match, Yuria.”

“Yes, Theo. I will definitely win, so please look forward to it.”

“Yes, I’ll look forward to it.”

Theodore smiled softly while she spoke to YuRia in a friendly voice.

As it was right in front of the waiting room, not only other participants could see him like this, but also some of the participants’ families standing near the entrance to the waiting room.

It was not easy to get near the waiting room except for the officials, but Yuria’s fiancee, Theodore, had the right to come here even if it wasn’t for the reputation of the chosen one, as she was related to the participant.

“You two seem to have a good relationship.”

“Isn’t it really being stamped by the chosen one?”

Most of the parents of each participant were already waiting in good seats in the stands.

Unless they were from a foreign family, such as the Arsene duke, and it was difficult to visit them, most of them would have already contracted for a villa or a hotel room.

However, the parents of a small number of participants came all the way here to cheer for their sons/daughters who were competing today and expressed their support.

In their eyes, Theodore and Yuria’s good relationship was reflected uneasy.

‘If YuRia loses, he’s probably worried that I might hold a grudge.’

However, as Yuria had already told the players directly, that would not happen.

He believed in Yuria’s victory from the start, and even if she fell, he would not hold a grudge against her.

If there was an opponent who beat Yuria, it was rather admirable because it showed his skills beyond his expectations.

She said, YuRia, too, if there was an opponent who defeated her, she would not hold a grudge, she would end it with admiration and a little regret inside her.

In the name of the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsene, a naive back end in a fair match was never acceptable.

“Yuria, I’ll cheer you on for the match later, so I’ll look forward to seeing you in a good way.”

“Yes, Ashley. Please support me.”

“Yes!

“Okay. I promise.”

That’s how Ashley and Yuria were also seen lightly exchanging greetings.

Theodore thought that it was good to see YuRia looking happy, perhaps because her friend had visited in person.

‘It must have been lonely.’

Even though she was with herself, it would be different for her to be alone with her lover and with her friends and family.

So, thinking that there would be something more for her to be happy about in a little while, Theodore headed for her seat and cast a spell so that the people around him would not be properly aware of his presence.

And Ashley quietly followed him.

Unlike the rest of her, Ashley was clearly aware of Theodore, as she and the people she would meet were exempt from her magic.

“Princess Theodore, it’s nice to have a surprise gift for Yuria, but I’m a bit worried.”

And, of course, Ashley also knew about Yuria, a fact that she didn’t know yet.

She wasn’t the only one who got her Emperor’s permission, and they parted ways in the middle of her, but because she, too, moved with them in her early days.

“That won’t happen, Lady Panicello.”

When Theodore was alone with Ashley, he went back to his old tone.

I say it politely, but when people I know listen to it, it feels like I draw a line somewhere.

However, Ashley seemed rather satisfied with her attitude.

“Prince Theodore really believes in Yuria. Haa~ Even though Yuria was engaged to Prince Theodore, she denied that they were close, but the two of them went to study abroad together and became like a newlywed couple. It’s amazing. I’m happy too.”

Ashley’s words were full of sincere kindness toward Yuria.

In fact, Theodore could immediately recognize that Yuria, who was a childhood friend to Ashley, was a precious person just like her family.

There was no lie in her feelings for Yuria.

‘Though they teach strange things.’

Although it informs you of love knowledge based on romance novels, Yuria’s overwhelming beauty appeals as a charm no matter what she does, so I don’t bother pointing it out as it really works beyond helping her train. Decided not to

“If it were Prince Theodore, I believe she would be good to Yuria… But please make her Yuria happy always.”

“Even if it weren’t for Lady Panicello’s words, she would. Yuria has already become the most special person to me.”

Even if it wasn’t for Ashley’s request to make her Yuria happy, Theodore had already sworn several times that he would be there for her.

The reason why Yuria recently started actively appealing for sex was actually related to this.

It was common for Theodore to assume that he was basically superior in his relationships with others.

In the past, Yuria felt that, so she showed extreme rejection.

But now there were people Theodore was putting above herself in her human relationships.

It was her family, the people of the Duke of Skyroad, and her fiancée and lover Yuria.

‘Yuria feels it too, so she must have asked for something like that yesterday.’

It was during sex last night.

At that time, she asked him not to regard Yuria as above her, but to treat her as below.

And that side seems to have subtly stimulated her pleasure more for Yuria, and since she did as she asked, it reminded me of Yuria who was so happy that she was at a loss for what to do.

The important thing was that she had to endlessly check and think about what kind of method would make Yuria happy.

“Yes, please continue to do so.”

Ashley had an expression of satisfaction when she said that she was the most special person to him.

2 P.M.

Yuria climbed onto her arena when the time finally came for her own match.

The moment she stepped onto her pitch, her crowd erupted in cheers.

However, this cheer is not because of the expectation that she will show her great match, but because her appearance itself pleases her eyes, even if she can show an empty result like yesterday.

‘This time I don’t want a meaningless victory like the last time, but I won’t be vigilant nor spare my strength.’

She was to use all her power to win.

It was said that it was an unmanned courtesy to the opponent in the confrontation.

When she made that decision, the introduction of her emcee began.

“This student, Yuria Arsane, is the only student in this tournament who is not a student of Minst Academy, but an international student of Jaiha Academy! As a student, she is also the eldest daughter of Duke Arsane, one of the three major dukes of the Arkan Empire.”

The moderator obliged her to introduce her to Yuria, but it would be rather difficult to find anyone who didn’t know about her, even throughout the Britannian Empire.

And while Yuria was being introduced, she looked around the stands looking for Theodore for a while, and found people she never expected.
