    <span style="font-weight:400">Bang! Bang! Bang!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith swung a hammer, banging a nail into the wood. He did this a few more times. He stared at the base of the perg. Pretty good, if I do say so myself. The size of the perg was smaller than the one he had built in his home. But it was more than enough on this ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! I brought you some juice!" Fira and Mir quickly rushed to his side with a cup of mango juice.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you," Keith patted the two''s head as he returned to work.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No dice."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''spletely absorbed in his work."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...This is not normal," Diana and the great spirits watched from the side as the child worked. It was how normal he was acting. How could he be so focused on his work after all of that? Since Keith was on house arrest, he used his time focusing on his ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Give him some space alone for now. That''s what''s best for him." Diana understood stuff like this would need some time to cool off.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While Keith focused on the perg, Alfia and the rest headed to ss. When they did, there was a strange silence in the group.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Without Keith, things are really different," Scarlet sighed. That guy was their leader and would be making jokes. Herrick added, "So damn lucky, I wish I was on house arrest. I don''t need toe here."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." You really think this is a reward? This stupid guy. As they talked with one another.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guys," Everyone turned their heads to see Carolyn. It was rare to see her since she had been talking with other students. She would also return to the Solis Kingdom to finalize some things.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I want you guys to take this." Carolyn ced some envelopes down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are these?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wedding invitations."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re nning to have the wedding in a week from now. I''m able to invite some of my friends. I want you guys toe." The wedding has been finalized.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Should we go? This was something they had to think about. But there was one person who decided for them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll go." Sarah held the envelope. She looked at the others, which made them nod.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn smiled, "Thank you. I have to hand some of these to some others." The girl walked out of the room. But as she was about to head somewhere else,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you really going to go through with this Carolyn?" Alfia called out. She couldn''t hold it in any longer.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What do you mean?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We mean giving up on Keith. Are you really going to give up on him?" It wasn''t only Alfia; Scarlet and Krystal hade out with the elf.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s no need to hide it, Carolyn. All of us know that you had feelings for him all this time," It was a no-brainer for all of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Haha, not anymore. I spent my years loving a person who had only treated me like a sister." Keith had made it clear to her that she was only a little sister in his eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And you guys would be better if I''m gone. There''s one less person here topete with him," Carolyn also understood. The three girls who stood before her had some feelings for the man.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re going to give up everything like so? Just because there arepetitors?" Alfia''s eyes narrowed, "Are you really that weak?" She was running away frompetition.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you guys really say you want to share Keith?" Carolyn questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." "..." Krystal and Alfia went silent. Share? No one wanted to share the person they love with someone else. However,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m fine with it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" The person who said it was none other than Scarlet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Scarlet smiled, "As long as I''m with the man I love, I''m content." Having the person all to herself was something in her mind. But it was only an afterthought. Polygamy wasmon, and she didn''t mind it since her father had three wives.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have to go through with this marriage? Even knowing what Alger is nning?" This was not about Keith any longer; this had to do with Alger''s n to use her, and they didn''t know how.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And we know you know as well." Carolyn wasn''t a dense person. She must have some inkling of this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn turned to Krystal, "Krystal, do you remember the words you have said to me before?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We nobles have no right to choose who we can love or cherish. And this applies to all of us." Carolyn turned to the two. All of them were going to inherit a high position one day.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"One mistake. Just one mistake is enough to cause millions of deaths." No matter how big or small, there would be a ripple effect with the choices they made.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The three girls stayed silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And besides, Alger is a better man than he is. He''s a prince, handsome, and also influential. Even if I''m used, I can still live my life in luxury." Carolynughed as she raised her hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"At some point, we have to wake up from reality. Some things are not meant to be," Carolyn sighed as she walked away. Her figure was smaller than the other times.
