Please Grant Me a Glorious Regret

“I will serve as a replacement for Lady Daton.”
“…What did you just say?”
“I said I will take Lady Daton’s place. I will go to the capital with you.”
I made a deal with a man who couldn’t forget his lover, under the pretense of paying off a debt.
Of my own accord, I stepped into his trap.
I never knew that would be my downfall.

The more I lived day by day, the stranger it felt.
Why do she and I both paint the same pictures?
Why do we both fear water so much?
Is it truly a coincidence that we, two different people, are so similar?
If it is a coincidence,
Who does he truly love?
Who exactly is this “Pheria” he speaks of?
That’s why I decided to leave him.
To understand what his dreadful puppet game was for.
