A Love Torn by Time novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

On the way, we were stopped by a mind of Guinevere. She said that Guinevere had a headache and wanted to see Vince.

Vince furrowed his brows and immediately dismounted the carriage.

“Gwen’s not feeling well. I need to go check on her. You head back to the manor first. We’ll meet at The Astral Keep in the evening.”

I nodded. “Alright”

He seemed a bit surprised. “Weren’t you always opposed to me going to see her? Why the change?”

I opened my mouth to say something, but he sneered again. “Well, I suppose it’s different now. We’re about to marry, after all. She doesn’t pose a threat to you anymore.”

He left without seeing the look of sorrow and bitter smile on my face

In truth, I had never tried to stop him from favoring Guinevere.

There was only one time when I had discovered that Guinevere had an affair with a court official. After further investigation, it turned out she wasn’t Innocent

That’s when I desperately tried to prevent Vince from getting too close to her.

But he knew nothing of it, and after her death, he suffered for fon long years..

If I had to choose, I would have preferred to see him with Guinevere, rather than let him endure such comment, only to die for me.

I first went to the town hall to complete the cessary paperwork for leaving the city, then returned to the estate.

Lady Mother was in the kitchen, preparing a table full of dishes that I loved.

I habitually removed my white fox fur cloak and draped it over Lady Mother’s shoulders. “It’s cold, Lady Mother. You must take care of your health.” Lady Mother looked at me, her face lighting up with joy. “Sera, you’re so considerate. Show me the royal marriage decree with Vince. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Finally, you’ll officially become my daughter–in–law.

Lord Father, seeing that no one else was with me, puffed up in anger, his cheeks flushing.

“Where is that boy? He didn’t come back with you? The marriage decree has already been issued. How can he not show you the care you deserve? When he comes back, I’ll give him a good scolding!

Lord Father and Lady Mother’s genuine concern filled me with a sharp ache.

After my parents died in battle, I became an orphan, and Lord Father and Lady Mother raised me with love, giving me everything I had.

I had always been obedient, but now, I was about to defy them.

I looked at them seriously: “Father, Mother, I won’t marry the heir.

Tomorrow, I go south From now on, I won’t b

anymore. You two must take good care of yourselves.
