My Second Engagement: Loved by the Duke’s Son and Thanked for My Healing Magic ~ My Selfish Sister Took My Fiancé, but Gave Him Back Because She Didn’t Want Him Anymore~ - Episode 5

Reina has returned.

I had asked her to take my place, but what happened in the end?

I was so curious that I couldn’t sit still, so the moment I heard she was back, I rushed to the entrance.

“Welcome back, Reina! You managed to handle the engagement properly, right?”

“Yes. Thank you!”

She’s strangely cheerful.

She must be relieved to have escaped from that dreadful duke’s residence.

“Almia, are you really okay with this? You won’t regret it, right?”

Why is Reina asking such a thing?

She makes it sound like I gave up something incredibly valuable.

“Not at all! I’m really grateful that you agreed to take my place, Reina!”

“In that case, I’ll go ahead and marry him, then.”

I understood her intention.

She must be so exhausted from dealing with that awful duke’s son that she’s trying to push him back onto me.

But I won’t fall for that trick!

If even Reina couldn’t endure him, then there’s no way I could handle it.

Father and Mother were thrilled about all the money they would receive, so Reina just needs to go through with the engagement.

She’s always helped me before, so I trust that she’ll help me this time too.

That’s why I asked her. So, please do your best as my replacement. I’ll cheer you on!

“I need to inform Father and Mother. After that, I’ll pack my things and leave, so could you return the items I lent you?”

“What!? That’s a problem!”

Reina, there’s no need to be in such a hurry.

I still want to keep your clothes and accessories for a while longer.

If possible, I don’t want to return them at all.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to come back for a while…”

Oh wow, the duke’s orders have already started?

They must have said something like, ‘Since you’re so poorly trained, you’ll have to live at the duke’s residence and learn the rules.’

When it was me, they nitpicked everything and gave me a room even smaller than the duke’s study.

If they’re talking about rules, then they should have treated me as the future duchess properly!

Julite always spoke so politely, yet all he did was criticize and scold me like a devil.

Just remembering it makes me furious!

Ah, poor Reina.

Out of sympathy, I suppose I should at least return a few things.

“Alright, I understand. Please wait a moment.”

I hurried back to my room and searched through the things I borrowed, looking for something that seemed like trash.

“Hmm… I really love this skirt, and I absolutely don’t want to return this accessory… Ah, this should be fine. I don’t want it anymore.”

It was a white dress, but I spilled sauce on it while eating.

The stains are really noticeable, and I can’t wear it outside anymore…

But Reina said it was her favorite dress, so I’ll return this one.

How wonderful! Now she’ll be happy and smile again!

“Here you go! I won’t wear this anymore, so I’m returning it. Thanks for letting me borrow it!”

“…This is it?”

“Yes! You said it was your favorite, so I’m giving it back. But I’m still using the other things, so I’d like to keep them a little longer.”

“…………”
I returned something properly and even thanked her.

So why does Reina’s expression look so gloomy?
