Chapter 11
I returned to my room and immediately laid down on my bed.
My body doesn’t feel well.
I’ve been aware of this for a while now.
That is because I am using healing magic.
Sometimes it’s hard to even breathe.
If I don’t do something, I might even die.
I absolutely cannot die that way.
I can not die just because I cured people’s illnesses.
The people who allowed me, a person with bad eyes, to marry the perfect Roy-sama.
I don’t want them to be responsible for my death.
It’s painful. I want to take off my corset.
I climbed off the bed and took off my dress in front of the mirror.
I’m glad I wore a rough dress for work.
It can be easily taken off by myself.
When I take off everything I am wearing, I can see my ugly body reflected in the mirror.
My bruised body was the sign of love from my mother and sister.
These were the memories of the days when I was still being beaten, punched, and kicked.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my own body.”
This is the body that only Maria can see.
Roy-sama would not be interested in raising a child with such a woman.
“I want to be beautiful, too.”
I don’t need black hair or red eyes.
If only I didn’t look like this…
Tears well up in my eyes.
I’m dirty. I’m really dirty.
I didn’t want to see myself like this.
I also wanted to be loved.
Are these bruises really a sign that I was loved?
Oh, god, please, I don’t want to see it.
I threw a jar of candy that I had on hand.
With a snap!
The mirror cracks loudly.
Oh, dear. It’s too loud.
“Meg-sama, what happened?!”
The door opens and Yuri jumps in.
“You can’t just walk into a woman’s room without knocking.”
I turn my head back and smile at Yuri.
“That body is…”
Yuri is upset that I’m naked, but then he notices the bruises all over my body and raises an eyebrow.
“Did someone from the castle do this to you?”
If I nodded yes, Yuri would probably kill that person.
His eyes, which gave off a harsh impression, seemed to lit up with hatred.
“No, they’re not. It’s my mother and sister. They made these marks because they love me. Isn’t it nice?”
“No way…”
Yuri seemed to be at a loss as to what to say.
He really has a lot of facial expressions.
“I’m going to change, please leave. Can you call Maria for me, please?”
“…understood.”
Yuri bowed as if holding something back and left the room.
He is developing special feelings for me, which is a bit of a problem.
Why can’t I get anything to work out?
After a knock on the door, Maria comes in.
“Meg-sama, why do you look like that…?”
“I don’t really know, either.”
When I smiled weakly at her, Maria looked down painfully.
I’m sorry, Maria.
I didn’t mean to make you sad.
“Hey, don’t you think it’s okay for me to use my powers for myself once in a while?”
I blurted out that random thought.
Using my abilities for myself.
That can’t be a bad thing.
I’m kind of tired of this.
