Canceled Duke'S Engagement With Contact Fiancee
Chapter 22 Is just paper

The question Asha asked was enough to make a temporary silence, there was no answer from Ian, Dain, or Grace about the man. Which means they were involved in a fight to make the three could not answer a question so simple.

"I see, it must be because of the problem that happened yesterday, right?"

"If that was the case then we would be better off forgetting it because I'm fine and for sure it's just a misunderstanding" Asha said with a gentle smile but that didn't make Ian, no, Dain and Grace react that everything will be fine

While the prince who saw this incident, immediately decided to return to the palace because he felt that it was not good to interfere in the current affairs that were very far from what he would discuss with Asha.

"Asha, you should know that she's not defending you at all but she loves you so much,"

"Doesn't that mean he's just playing with the feelings you have?"

"He said that he really loved you even he was surprised that you didn't accept him as the fiancee of Duke Aelfraed,"

"But as a chairman of the information trade association Caius Vil," grace said with an annoyed look as she folded her hands without caring about the fact that she had revealed the information she should have kept so that Asha would still love her even if she had to be someone else

Asha who knows it is surprised, because all this means that the feelings and plot in the novel story never change. And Ehan had been playing around with Asha using a contract engagement whose sole purpose was to avoid Ehan.

"You're joking with me, aren't you Grace?" said Asha who bit her lips in disbelief

"Asha, we can't all lie but if you don't want to believe us it doesn't matter,"

"Importantly we have told you the truth before you fall into any further feelings because Ehan is currently close to the miss of the Bleistift family," continued Ian while shaking his head because he knew Asha would not be easy to believe if only listening from the words of others

"How about we just forget about that? Since today is the last day we gather together, it will be very difficult for us to meet, in the future,"

"I heard you were going to the middle east at the same time we went to the academy is that true?" dain asked who was trying to divert the conversation because this was the last day Asha and her friends met

From tomorrow Asha and her friends will be on different paths because of the obligations they have to live as a noble. Asha and her three friends talked until they forgot that afternoon had arrived which meant they would start to separate from now because of the path they had to take.

Inside Asha's room there was something about the conversation the three were having in the gathering room. As usual the knock on the window arrived the male figure who was said to be his contract fiancee came.

At the right time for Asha to ascertain who the male figure is to be her contract fiance, as she also remembers the letter was supposed to be received by Caius, but the letter was on Ehan's desk. Denying the fact that Ehan was her cousin, Asha believed those words, but this time he had listened to the words of Grace and her other two friends who wanted to let him know about the clearer facts about Caius and Eha were the same person.

Opening the glass door of the balcony, this time the figure of the man using a hood to cover himself slipped to meet with Asha. The look of Asha's cold face this time made Caius think what a mistake he had made. But Asha still let him in which means Asha still let him talk to her.

"Caius, I have a question for you,"

"You haven't had pets since you were a child, even though you wanted your parents to forbid it because you were a kid, you were,"

"Until you cry and roll left and right your parents still won't allow it," caius said with a smile that made Asha surprised because the answer answered by Caius was so precise and it should not be known by outsiders like Caius

This one fact makes Asha convinced that all that has been done so far to him is just a game done by Ehan because he has refused the engagement officially proposed by his family.

"Caius Vil, let's finish our employment contract,"

"You don't have to worry about the pay because I'm going to pay it right now," asha said with a cold gaze while looking for a letter of contract that had been made by both parties and a sum of money that she had long prepared by Asha for this matter

Caius who listened to the words about the cancellation of the contract made him round his eyes, because he felt that he had made a very big mistake to make Asha not satisfied with being engaged to a contract with him.

"Asha, can you explain the reason why you wanted to cancel the contract engagement with me?"

"Because I need a clear reason if I make a mistake" said Caius with a face that looks like a cat abandoned by its owner

"Why should I tell you? Our relationship is not just a contract paper,"

"And also nothing that does not satisfy everything is perfect just that I feel I'm bored and want to end this,"

"For the matter of my parents, in the meantime they won't ask me anything about the engagement because I'm leaving for six months in the middle east," asha said with a cold gaze while putting a roll and money on the table then sitting back with crossed legs

Asha's words make Caius feel slapped to reality because Asha in fact only wants a contract engagement only to stop the wishes of his parents who continue to ask for Asha's engagement. But this time his parents no longer asked or urged his relationship, so it would not be done by Asha the engagement of the contract again Caius thought it was a reasonable reason indeed, if that is the reason.

With a heavy heart Caius tore off the contract paper and received the money, which meant that he had been freed from the current Caius or Ehan. Strangely her feelings become hurt or claustrophobic, seeing Caius cancel her but she does not want to show it with a stern look, Asha opens the glass balcony door and asks her to come out of her room.

"Is this really a wrong or right feeling?"

"If it's true why do I feel claustrophobic? Why am I being played with by the plot of the novel?"

"In reality we can't be together, right?"
