Chapter 68: The Result of Struggling

Natalia and Leopold’s breaking up was the talk of the school for some time.

The whole school was aware of their relationship, and even now, a month after the summer vacation, the rumor has not disappeared from the students’ mouths.

After class, Natalia rushes home without so much as a greeting.

In fact, she is in a hurry to help out at the hospital, but there is no way that the students would know that in detail.

And Leopoldo, who had been absent from the school for two months prior to the summer break, returned to school.

His beautiful blonde hair was cut short and he had a few unhealed scars.

He was said to have gotten injured during sword training. However, how many people would really believe such an excuse directly?

In addition, Alejandro, who was close to Natalia, suddenly dropped out of school.

It was hard not to associate them together.

Unspoken rumors erupt, and rumors lead to more rumors.

Beatrice was terribly distressed by the situation, but Natalia surprisingly seemed unaffected by it.

Natalia remained calm in the face of cold stares and whispered words that she didn’t want to hear.

She takes her classes seriously and leaves the classroom immediately, as if she didn’t hear anything.

Natalia was such a strong person, very much so that Beatrice was surprised.

Beatrice, who only knew Natalia before the regression and who spent time with her as her best friend, still doesn’t quite understand.

She heard from Natalia herself, that she had been constantly losing everything all her life, but Beatrice herself had never actually seen it.

The friends she thought she had hated her, and the more she cared about them, the more they would call her an eyesore. The more important she thought it was, the more it would slip out from her hands.

For Natalia, it’s just back to the same situation as before. And Beatrice just has no idea about it. Nothing more.

As for Leopold, she doesn’t know how he is now since he was in a different department from the start.

Still, it is usually the women who would be put at a disadvantage in such cases.

In other words, Natalia is at a huge disadvantage.

Beatrice is well aware that she probably shouldn’t take this opportunity to speak to Natalia, who is already a popular figure.

Still, she was curious, and Beatrice couldn’t help but follow her with her eyes, wondering if she was okay.

Her birth family, the Viscount Olsen Household, now completely disowned Natalia, and the Viscount refused to pay even her last semester’s tuition to the academy.

Natalia thought about quitting school, but Leopold stopped her.

He said that even though she was undecided about what she would do with her future after this, she should still strive to continue since she will graduate in another six months or so, and as a part of his assistance, the Reinapha Family will pay for her tuition.

Leopold, too, will be meeting his political marriage partner next month.

The other woman is Melanie Bertland, the daughter of Duke of Bertland and the sister of Vivian, who has become Beatrice’s friend in this life.

She is three years younger than Natalia, so she did not witness Leopoldo and Natalia’s meeting at the academy. However, her sister is in the same class as Natalia.

Even if Vivian had not told her, Natalia and Leopold were famous at the school for their pure love for each other.

It would not be surprising if she had heard the story from somewhere. There are always those kind people everywhere.

But Beatrice was caught in a strange feeling, wondering if those two had really broken up.

Beatrice has always believed that Natalia and Leopoldo were destined to be lovers.

So she wanted to support them even if it cost her own life, and she also wanted them to be tied together.

Whether it is before her rebirth or after, of course.

And yet, it never occurred to her that the two people who she really hoped to be together would break up.

Beatrice watched Natalia’s back as she left the classroom as soon as the bell sounded at the end of the class, and she let out a sigh.

Leopoldo parted ways with Natalia and chose political marriage.

Natalia has decided to leave her family, become a working student, and live her life as a commoner after graduation. She is currently in the process of gathering the necessary documents to leave her aristocratic status.

Alejandro has paralyzed his lower body and was confined to the wheelchair, and his memory has regressed to the age of six. He is always looking for his sister’s shadow and says that he was always relieved whenever Natalia showed up.

Beatrice was bewildered by the way each of their lives turned out. It was so different from the way they lived in her previous life.

Beatrice was happy that she was able to come back. Now she was able to attend the academy in a much healthier state than before.

But why not Leopold, why not Natalia, why not Alejandro?

No, no.

I am sure that life before the regression was never what they wanted either. I know that, but still, still, somehow..

I wonder what could have been done.

I wonder if it really has to be this way.

Is it because I am happy that they are now suffering? I am really tormented by these thoughts.

I know that this is the result of my desperate struggles, so I have no choice but to accept it.
