The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

{Not qualified as a parent}

“Now that… are you serious?”

Yuria’s reaction was that she couldn’t believe what she had heard with her own ears.

“Yes.”

Yuria’s reaction was expected, but Elliott nodded her head nonetheless.

“Princess Yuria, I beg of you. Please allow me to say goodbye to Theodore at least once.”

A cold expression appeared on Yuria’s beautiful face after hearing Eliot’s words.

Even in the entire Britannia Empire, there is no beauty comparable to her. She

From the outside, she gave the impression of being neat and docile, but if you look closely, you can feel the strong will of this woman, who seems to be genuinely angry now.

“I know one thing for sure.”

Elliott recognized that what stood in YuRia’s blue eyes was her hostility towards herself.

Yuria Arsein was standing next to Theodore, embracing his arm, and even sending the enemy’s sad eyes away, she boasted a beauty that seemed out of this world.

She was so amazing the more I looked at her, the more I looked at her, the more I wondered if she was truly a beautiful woman with the blessings of the world.

‘So theodore is also into this woman?’

In fact, it was a wrong guess, but Eliot, who did not know about Theodore and Yuria, thought that this overwhelming beauty must have captured Theodore’s heart.

“What do you mean?”

Then Elliot turned to Yuria and asked what she would know.

“You guys don’t deserve to be parents.”

Yuria declared in a cold tone.

Then it wasn’t Elliot who responded to her words.

“Ugh, what do you know…”

Ceres glared at Yuria with her demonic eyes and muttered like a madman.

In her voice, her jealousy toward Yuria was strong.

She couldn’t even reach Theodore, but she was jealous of Yuria, who was loved by him, although the direction was different when she was next to him.

It was clear that Theodore, who had been wounded in her heart, had chosen as her mental refuge not her own mother, but her fiancee right next to her, and she was overcome with a deep sense of defeat and jealousy.

“Duchess Artine. At least I know more than you do. Now, even at the last moment, you are trying to comfort your own hearts rather than Theo’s.”

As she said that, Yuria declared with a strong will.

“To Theo, I won’t let you act your way.”

“Go, dare! What are you, what are you!”

Ceres lost her temper in anger and was ready to attack YuRia.

But being blocked by her wall, Elliot hastily grabbed her.

“Madam! Calm down!”

“Leave it! Oh, that bitch is arrogant…I’m the mother! I gave birth to Theodore! Whoa! But, why…not even a chance…”

Ceres finally sat down and began to sob.

She felt that what she was doing was wrong, but she still couldn’t stop.

At least, if it wasn’t for Yuria, she might not have gone this far, but it was clear that the figure of Yuria standing next to Theodore had a different meaning to her than the people of the Duke of Skyroad.

Healing the wounds of Theodore, who was deeply wounded by what happened in his childhood, was supposed to be the role of the real parents, but jealousy and inferiority complex for having been deprived of that role came rushing in.

Elliott felt the same way, so she knew it well.

And I knew that this was wrong.

“Whoa, can you tell me how Reina is doing?”

So Elliott asked Yuria about Reina while holding Ceres.

She thought that if it was Theodore, she wouldn’t answer, but that was the case, but when she saw YuRia’s cold expression, asking her was just the same result in the end.

* * *

Yuria couldn’t understand the actions of the Duke and Duchess of Artin.

She could understand that they were obsessed with Theodore.

‘But after they did such a terrible thing… ‘

She would have understood if I had said that I had come to apologize one last time.

However, while conveying their apology, they also wished for something.

Even when they recognized their mistakes and came to apologize, their messy side was not hidden but was revealed.

As Yuria, she couldn’t understand why those who had done such unforgivable wrongs asked for what they wanted because it was the last thing.

‘The Britannia Empire… I think there are a lot of really strange people.’

There are exceptions like Reina, but she was too much for YuRia.

And now, at Elliott’s request to let her know if Reina is doing well, Yuria coldly tried to shoot her.

But then, Theodore stopped her.

“Yuria, let me talk.”

As she said that, she restrained her and saw him staring at Elliot with her cold gaze.

Yuria tried not to worry about Theodore’s psychology of looking at a man who was her own biological father, but who could not be called her family.

Such sympathy was something Theodore wouldn’t want.

‘Let’s just believe.’

She should not sympathize with him even though she may be angry for him.

Remembering that fact, Yuria tried to listen to what Theodore would say.

“I don’t know what will happen to Duke Artin in the future, but you won’t die from ruin, so don’t act pitiful to buy sympathy, just go back.”

“What?”

Elliot blinked as if he couldn’t understand Theodore’s words.

Ceres also looked at Theodore with a dazed expression.

“The Duke of Artin will continue to exist, so he should stop talking and go back.”

At Theodore’s words, Elliot asked in a trembling voice.

“The Duke of Artin continues to exist? So, are you saying that you will use your strength?”

“I’ll do that, so stop bothering me and disappear.”

At Theodore’s words, Yuria was a bit surprised.

Do you think he who hates and dislikes the Duke of Artin will use his strength to maintain the Duke of Artin?

But she quickly figured out why.

But it didn’t seem like the Duke and Duchess of Artin.

“Ah…Theodore! Whoa! Thank you.”

As if he had been forgiven by Theodore, Ceres seemed blinded only by his desire to hug Theodore somehow.

He used to be his own child, but now he seemed to have an abnormal obsession with him, considering him his enemy.

In comparison, Elliot, who was calmer than Ceres, asked with a trembling voice.

“Oh, did you cut it?”

“I have no intention of forgiving you. Even if you die miserably, it is of no value to me.”

Theodore’s voice was as cold as ice. It meant that the disgust, anger, and hatred he had still lingered.

“If you don’t realize why, then you prove that you are not qualified to be parents.”

When Eliot hesitated at Theodore’s words, Theodore laughed as if he knew that.

“As expected, it’s as expected. They fall to the ground crawling on the ground, begging servilely, and ascending up to the sky. They frantically try to capture the illusion that they are Theodore, whom they abandoned when they were two years old… But in reality, the feelings of being betrayed after loving them. It’s like you don’t even think about a girl who’s been hurt.”

At Theodore’s words, Elliot seemed to have realized it only then.

She came out of his mouth the name of a girl who was not present.

“Reina.”

The reason why Theodore Skylord kept the hated Duke of Artin from destroying it wasn’t because he forgave the Duke of Artin.

It was because he was afraid that his sister, now Reina Skylord, would break her heart amid her feelings of love and hatred after hearing about the ruin of her former parents.

It was only to keep them alive for Reina’s sake, not for any other reason.

And the Duke and Duchess of Artin had forgotten Reina even at this moment.

“To realize it only after telling me about it. Truly, you are terrible people. I am very fortunate that my parents are no longer. Duke Artin and Duchess Artin. So please do not think of appearing in front of me again. And I will not tolerate using useless tricks as bait for Reina’s sadness.”

Theodore issued a warning.

Yuria sensed that he was sincere.

If Reina took advantage of her heartache, he would not really forgive them, even if it meant making Reina feel a little sad.

Yuria silently held Theodore’s hand.

She hoped that her own warmth would reach him, and that he would ease her mind at least a little.

“Poems, Theodore…Wait a minute!”

Elliot, who was about to say something, disappeared along with his wife Ceres.

It seemed that Theodore had forcibly teleported them to the interior of the Artin family.

“Theo…”

Yuria softly called his name and gently hugged him.

Theodore also silently hugged Yuria.

YuRia said, thinking that he put her own personal hatred behind her for the sake of Raina, and that he was also the man she loved and respected.

“Theo, you can’t imagine how proud I am right now that Theo is my fiancé.”

“Whoops, is that so? I think I know?”

After saying that, Theodore kissed YuRia on the forehead and said.

“I’m so proud of you as my fiancée, too. Think of it the other way around and you’ll get your answer?”

At that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

And the two of them did not mention anything about the Duke and Duchess of Artin.
