Retaliation of Disabled Girls
Chapter 12 Jealousy

Past Times

A very boring night. I was engaged to Keith for almost a month. Usually he comes to me during the day if he wants to meet, if he wants to take me out of here he will come at night. It was all because we didn't want to be caught by my brother.

Today Keith did not come because he was attending a party at one of his acquaintances' residences. I wanted to meet him but my brother also came to the party. If I stay here I can die of boredom. I decided to go there.

I wear fake hair and makeup that makes my face look different. The dress I wear is also simple. No one will recognize me. 

I used teleportation magic to the party. I've arrived. I'm sneaking around looking for the party hall. The brightly shining building visited by the nobles must be the place. Even so I won't go inside. Since it could be that if my brother was suspicious of one of the guests who could not speak, he must have thought it was me. I was standing outside the building looking for Keith through the window.

Be met. Keith was talking to one of the nobles with a smile. I was about to wave my hand so that he would realize my whereabouts. However, my hand stopped as soon as I saw a blond girl pat Keith on the shoulder and then chatted intimately. Keith laughed with the girl. Who's the girl?

I was curious to keep watching them. They started to dance. I saw the girl smiling happily at Keith. From the way he looked at Keith, it was no ordinary gaze. He likes Keith. And what about Keith. Keith smiled at the girl. Does he like it too? I don't know. More precisely I don't want to know. I was afraid to accept the fact that Keith didn't love me. That my love is not really reciprocated. Then, she was only engaged to me just for her own benefit.

They finished dancing. I follow them wherever they go. I used auditory sense strengthening magic but due to the frenzy going on inside, their voices could not be heard clearly. They walked out of the party hall into the garden. I keep following them. They sat down and looked at the garden.

"Today is really exhausting." Keith stretched his hand.

Finally it sounds clear. I hid behind a tree while cuddling their conversation.

"That's right, I didn't expect them to throw this fancy party and invite a lot of nobles," said the blonde-haired girl. 

"How did you feel when you first came to Stella's party?" keith looked at the girl.

Her name is Stella.

"As I said it's exhausting but it's fun because you're there, Keith," Stella replied with a smile.

"really? Good then." Keith returned Stella's smile.

I clenched my hands tightly. Did I just misunderstand that his concern for me was only his compassion for a disabled girl?

"Until when are you going to get engaged to that disabled girl?" ask Stella.

The heart beats faster. They talk about me.

"Don't know, don't call her Stella's handicapped girl, even if Diana's such a great person," Keith defended me.

"Should you sacrifice yourself to marry that girl just to earn money for your mother's treatment? I know you want to replace the younger brother so as not to marry the ignorant nobleman. What about your own feelings?" Stella raised her voice but did not scream.

Keith once told me that his mother was sick, but I had no idea that the reason he was engaged to me was because he needed money for his mother's treatment. I knew that Keith also had a younger brother, but I didn't expect him to sacrifice so that his younger brother wouldn't marry.

"I know you're worried about me. I can do all this on Stella's own." Keith hugged Stella.

"Just calm down, there's no need to worry" Keith continued. He calms Stella.

"I care about you Keith." Stella returned Keith's embrace while burrowing her face deeper into Keith's chest.

"I care about you too Stella."

My tears trickled down hearing the confession of the two of them. I keep wiping it. I immediately returned to my room with teleportation magic.

I covered my eyes with my hands. This engagement was not based on love from the beginning, but I loved Keith after this engagement. Hearing him say it like that made my heart wither.

I love you, Keith. Ilove you.

Those words probably won't come out of my mouth. Just saying it makes me sick.

Keith who saw my steps stopped immediately approaching me. Stella followed him behind.

"What's Diana?" ask Keith.

I just kept looking at Stella. Keith who realized my gaze immediately made a sound.

"He was my friend since Diana's childhood. Her name is Stella."

They have been friends since childhood. Then they both have loved each other since childhood.

Stella introduced herself. "Make me Stella Frostein, Miss Moonlight."

"I'm Diana Moonlight" I replied briefly.

"Stella is one of those rare Animal and Natural Witches, Diana," Keith explains.

"So right, this is the first time I've met an Animal and Nature Witch. Nice to meet you, Stella. No need to be formal to me." My fake smile spread.

I'm not happy to meet him. It felt as if my day was ruined the moment I met him.

"Well, nice to meet you, Diana. Congratulations on your family head." Stella smiled as well.

Although smiling his gaze at me was very sharp. Stella doesn't like me for taking Keith away from her. He was hostile towards me but did not want to be seen clearly in front of Keith. I also returned his gaze sharply. 

Keith tried to melt the silence between us.

"Why are you here, Diana?"

"I came here because Iris invited me. I heard you were in the practice room so I wanted to see you Keith," he said, glancing at Stella.

"That's it, thank you," Keith replied timidly.

Stella looks upset. He didn't want to see us alone, but his existence here wasn't considered. 

"Oh yeah, I think you've been here a long time, Stella. Shouldn't you be going home?" ask Keith.

"Did you throw me out to be alone with Diana, Keith?" Stella raised one of her eyebrows.

"Not so, you seem to be exhausted. It's good that you rest. I'll get you to the front, '" suggested Keith.

"Well, then I'll say Diana." His look at me has not changed at all.

"Be careful on the road, Stella." I don't want to lose keep looking at him sharply.

Keith was completely unaware of our hostile attitude, ushering Stella home quietly.

I waited for him at this training ground while watching him. This place is too broken to be called a training ground. The floor is already bumpy. The walls are almost cracked. There's no harm in me helping out the cost of fixing this.

Keith's back. He came straight to me.

"Do you want to see my new magic Diana?"

I nodded while looking ahead. What a magic.

Maybe there's a feeling you've left for Stella. I'll make you forget how you felt about Stella. Then make you just look at me, after that I'll die you.
