Reincarnated to save a broken heart ✓

Chapter 3

Auteur stared at me with a look that was somewhere between dazed and suspicious.

"How do you know my name? I don't even know you."

Something seemed to break inside me. Maybe it was hope? The hope of having someone with whom to share my fears, my doubts...

Tears began to roll down my cheeks as my mind sank into nothingness, dashing all my hopes at once.

What if Auteur was like that? What about Orias? Did all my former relatives forget me? Was it definitive? Had I lost my old love forever? So should I close myself off from the rest of the world? Or was I still going to undergo a third reincarnation without having tasted happiness? And finally... what was happiness then?

"Oh dear, sighed Fury, look at the state you've got him in. Normally, I'm not allowed to, but I'll make an exception."

Fury stepped forward again and swung a fan at Auteur's head without warning.

She frowned and rubbed the top of her head. Then disbelief took hold of her.

"What is this?"

"This is your past life that I've just awakened in the back of your mind. Do you understand better now?" the blond asked.

"AAAAAAAH!!! I'm dead! How is that possible?? (ﾉ｀□')ﾉ⌒┻━┻ Ah yes, it's true, Soliès is dead".

She suddenly stood up as she said these words and rushed over to hug me, pulling me out of the bubble of depression I'd entered.

"Soliès! I'm so sorry! I am so useless!!! I failed to save your life ヾ( -́д-̀ ;)ﾉ"

I shook my head.

"No, I don't blame you, you can't plan everything after all, I sobbed as I tightened my grip on her, I... I... don't blame you... not... boo-hoo..."

"I'm so sorry Soliès. All the words in the world will never be enough to express how truly sorry I am. My aim was to protect you and make sure you were happy, I failed. I am truly sorry (ﾉД')".

"No... I'm sad... because I've lost Orias... I'll probably never see him again..." I finally whispered as hiccups of sobs came over me.

"No, don't worry Soliès, you'll find him in the end, I'm sure of it! ヾ( -́д-̀ ;)ﾉ"

"And now I have to marry someone I've never met..." I finished, sobbing softly.

Auteur petrified and seemed to lose her words. She remained silent, completely shocked by the news that had fallen from the sky.

"Ho-How??"

"Soliès, whispered Fury as he approached me, I'll make you a deal. You go to the wedding, go through the rites and if you don't feel like spending the wedding night, I'll help you to escape.

- How can I do that? If I run away, Mariana and the rest of her family will be guillotined. I don't want their deaths on my conscience, I said, shaking my head negatively as I pushed Auteur away from me.

- No, I'll make you look dead. And then, would you doubt my talent and my powers? I'm a god after all, Soliès, you're offending me," the blond falsely took offence.

My eyes closed in thanks. In any case, it wasn't as if I really had a choice and I agreed to his request.

"I agree, I conceded, I accept your deal. But don't let me down...".
