chapter 1
1 – I broke off my marriage with my childhood friend, the hero
Lina.
As a hero who has made numerous achievements on the current continent, even if there are people who do not know her face, there is no one who does not know her name.
For humans, it is a symbol of hope for everyone, regardless of age or gender, a symbol of fear for demons, and a hero for everyone.
She was my childhood friend and fiancee, Raina.
And me, her fiancé.
As a knight named Alan and a member of the warrior party, he was a weak man compared to the warrior party.
People were so envious when they saw me like this.
A guy like that is the fiancé of a hero. Did he even save the country in his previous life? I considered myself lucky enough to spit out the word.
But the truth was completely different.
On the contrary, I was originally a warrior, and only those who knew that the current hero, Raina, was a commoner and a very insignificant girl.
In the distant past, when I was reincarnated in this world.
I raised Rina as her reincarnation.
She took her in as an orphan from a commoner and had no parents, and made her a warrior.
She was originally destined to become a villain, she was a girl who was destined to be unhappy, but as a childhood friend, I felt sorry for the girl who lived a life far from happiness, so I saved her.
A relationship that ended after being saved just like that.
However, in the process, Rina confessed to me, and after thinking about it, I decided to accept her feelings.
Because I didn’t hate her, I also dated Raina, and we developed an engaged relationship.
And it was good until then. Raina and I were getting along well with each other without any conflict.
However, I gave up my fiancé’s liver and gall, and finally gave up her strength as a warrior.
My fiancée is much better at using the power of a warrior than I am.
Of course, I would never have given it to someone else, but I thought I could give it to you because I was a lover.
And that idea was very wrong.
As she gained the power of a hero, she gradually changed.
“Hey… What did you say to me?”
She became so arrogant.
Today was a really auspicious day.
It’s the third anniversary since I and Rina dated.
On that day, I prepared her cake for her to spend the night with her by making her own cake early in the morning.
To bless our love while looking at the night sky.
We did our best to make the 3rd anniversary unforgettable.
“Hey. Does that make sense?”
“Didn’t you hear? Let’s break up.”
But…
I heard something really shocking.
The woman I loved, I heard from her that we should break up now.
I couldn’t believe the story, so I asked the childhood friend in front of me again.
My childhood friend and fiancée, with long eyelashes, red eyes, and brilliant golden hair, her name was Raina.
As expected, Raina affirmed my question as if she hadn’t heard it wrong.
She clearly said that they should break up now.
“Hey. What the hell is the reason?”
I couldn’t even fathom why Rina was doing this to me.
Although we didn’t have the sweetness we had when we first started dating, and we quarreled often, Rina and I are still in a relationship.
That was also a romantic relationship that had been together for three years.
The words that such a lover is asking me to break up with right now.
Of course, I had no idea why.
Why do you want to break up with me?
“Is there anything I haven’t done for you?”
I would have been able to convince myself if I had been a fiancé who was not devoted.
I wouldn’t have felt this frustrated, thinking that this is why he would dump me.
But I wasn’t that fiancé at all. On the contrary, after all, he was a really nice man who was good at helping her.
I’ve always liked Rina since back in her distant past when she was her really little girl.
After she became a warrior, she served on her and traveled with her.
In the meantime, I voluntarily took care of all the nasty things.
But Raina is announcing the end of the relationship to me one-sidedly like this.
Of course, I thought that maybe I had made a big mistake.
If that’s the case, I tried my best to clear up the misunderstanding.
But.
“No. You’re not a pretty bad guy. I’m pretty happy with what you’re doing.”
Rina’s answer to my question was unexpected.
Her answer was that I hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Then why…?”
“Yeah… To be honest. Don’t you think I’m not worth it?”
“…?”
Her answer was that she dumped me because she felt sorry for herself.
What the hell does this mean? I didn’t understand it the first time I went in.
However, I soon understood what Rina was saying with reason.
Because my vocabulary skills weren’t that stupid.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it emotionally.
You’re trying to dump me just for that reason?
I couldn’t believe it, but…
“Actually, the prince confessed to me not too long ago. I must be a very proud person.”
Anyway, Raina seemed serious.
“Isn’t it natural for a woman like me to honestly think that dating you is a waste? Anyone would think that?”
Lina smiling at me.
The appearance was very heinous.
To think that I loved a woman like this… It was the moment when my love in the past became so futile.
That’s the only reason…
“How nice I’ve been to you. But now you’re saying you’re breaking up for that reason?”
I let go of the anger I had been holding back.
“I gave up my life for you. Besides, I gave up my position as a hero. Also, last time you were in trouble, I helped you.”
I really did my best for Rina.
Originally, it was a life where I had to be chosen as a hero, but I gave up that position to Rina.
Besides, where is that? I saved Rina by giving her life.
And besides that, the things I gave to Laina were really countless.
If I had to say everything, it was so painful that I couldn’t even say it all.
“I gave you so much, and I didn’t want anything. I just wanted you to be my lover.”
I didn’t really want anything in return in the process.
She gave her unrequited agape love just because she was her lover, just because she was the woman I loved.
But even if you can’t thank me for the rest of your life, you’re going to break up with me now…
“Do you have no conscience?”
How can I not be so angry?
It was a moment when I regretted having lived only looking at Raina.
Did you love for this…?
It was a genuinely tearful moment.
“Well, I’ll reward you well for what you’ve done. Take one of the treasures from the warriors’ party. That’s enough, right?”
She is a reward for my love, and she unfolds her treasures.
All of them were huge treasures. Even just one of them was worth enough for three generations to live comfortably.
But, of course, I don’t accept these things.
“Hey… You want me to get something like this? I… Didn’t help you with this…!”
To me, those things were nothing short of an insult.
When I received this, it felt like the things I had done were denied.
So, to be honest, I almost cried.
It’s so unfair.
“Then what should I do? Won’t you stop clinging to the boy and let him go?”
However, even those tears went well.
Raina looks at me with an annoyed expression.
She couldn’t feel any gratitude or even sorry from her attitude.
I was sure at this point.
Rainah didn’t love me anymore.
The only one who loved was me.
“Wow really. You piece of crap.”
Thinking that way, I gave up now too.
I didn’t feel anger or sadness anymore at the tree or the absurd attitude.
Rather, the emotion I feel now is disgust.
I looked at Rina with such disgust that a woman like this could exist in the world.
I couldn’t help but curse at him.
So, for the first time in my life, I cursed at the woman I loved.
“That’s right. I’m trash. But, well, I’m a decent person. I’m a warrior. Stop talking nonsense and stamp the engagement.”
And it was Raina who enjoyed my loathing.
“On the other hand, you are just a man with no ability as a tank for the party.”
As if he had been cursed at by a bug, he looked like he had nothing to do with it.
Thoroughly ignoring me, she laughed at me.
“Haa…”
I realized at this point that there was no point in talking.
How did this happen?
If I hadn’t saved Laina, I wouldn’t have been so sad…
Honestly, I felt very regretful.
My time dating such a woman for three years was too precious.
And that was also the case when we were having these meaningless conversations.
“Yes. I’ll break off the engagement as you say. But.”
I also have no regrets anymore.
Just.
I had to make sure of this one thing.
I asked while looking at Rina.
“By the way. Are you confident?”
“What?”
“The confidence to lead the party members who don’t listen to me without me and defeat the Demon King.”
I was the one who actually led the party members of the warrior party.
It was definitely not Raina.
When I said I was going out in that situation, it was about whether you could handle it without me.
Oops my question.
“There’s nothing you can do and I can’t do it.”
Rina smiled at my question and looked at me.
It was a very confident expression.
“Okay. Let’s never see each other again. f*ck you.”
If you say it that way, it probably doesn’t matter.
In the end, the conversation ended like that, and eventually I turned my back on Raina.
I moved forward after cutting off the relationship with Raina that had been going on for a long time.
