Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 377 Free Now (2)

After pacifying the judges, the Dwarven King wasted no ti in bringing us back to the castle.

There was sothing that he needed to do, sothing that was very important to him.

He went through the castle without a care for the people that tried to stop him and headed in a specific direction. It was like he already knew where he was going and was determined to reach there no matter what.

The ones that worked in the castle knew which direction he was heading in, so they didn't bother stopping him.

I just silently followed behind him, but there was a look on my face that made it seem like I didn't agree with this.

The two of us made our way through the castle until we reached a garden.

Sitting in the middle of that garden on a bench was a female dwarf.

Even though it was winter, this garden was still warm since this was a greenhouse garden.

So she was dressed lightly in a dress as she sat there in the middle of this garden.

She wasn't staring at anything in particular and seed to be staring off into space, as if she was thinking about sothing.

The Dwarven King paused for a second when he saw the female dwarf like this, but he still charged into the room with the divorce papers and said, "Elsa, he signed it. As long as you sign it, you'll be free."

The one who had been sitting in the middle of the garden was Elsa, the Dwarven King's little sister.

She had been sitting there in a daze because she knew what today was.

She had wanted to go, but the Dwarven King had his people bring her to this garden and keep her here.

Letting her go to that forging duel and seeing him was the last thing that he wanted to do.

Elsa slowly looked up when she heard his voice, but she ignored him as she looked at the piece of paper in his hand.

As the Dwarven King ca closer, she could see that there was a signature that was on this piece of paper.

She knew what this piece of paper was based on his words, but when she saw it with her own eyes…she couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

It was a lie to say that she didn't feel anything at all.

After all that ti that she had spent with him wasn't a lie and it was impossible for all of her feelings to die.

So her eyes started misting over.

When the Dwarven King saw this, he imdiately froze and he waved his arms around like he didn't know what to do.

This was a situation that he wasn't familiar with, so he had no idea how to comfort her.

The only thing that he could do was…turn around and look at for help.

I revealed a bitter smile when I saw this.

I had tried to stop the Dwarven King in the first place, but he had just rushed forward without thinking about the consequences. So all I could do was think of ways to soften the blow.

It could be said that I was already prepared for his rashness.

It was impossible to erase everything of the past and showing soone sothing like this without a single plan was just asking to be hurt.

So I knew that there was one thing that I could do to soften the blow.

"Do you regret it?" I suddenly asked.

Both the Dwarven King and Elsa trembled when they heard this.

The Dwarven King quickly turned to look at with a look like he was telling to cut it out, but I just ignored him as I looked at Elsa, waiting for her response.

After Elsa heard what I said, she had her head down as if she was still trying to work through her emotions.

In the end, she suddenly looked up and shook her head before saying, "No, I don't regret it. This was the way that it had to be. This was the way that things had been heading towards in the first place, so it was natural it would end like this."

As she said this, there was still a mist in her eyes, but they looked much more firm compared to before.

It was as if she had co to a conclusion for herself.

That was what I had wanted to see.

After all, the only way to make soone move on was to force them to face their emotions.

When people were put in a situation like this, their first instinct was to…run away.

Running away from their feelings was easy and it saved them from the pain of having to confront them.

So their first instinct would be to run and hide.

But the only way to move on was to face those feelings and accept them.

What I was doing was forcing her to confront those feelings so she would move on sooner instead of suffering.

After she said this, I said with a nod, "You don't need to think about him anymore. Just think about your future."

Elsa looked up in a daze as she repeated in a soft voice, "Future…"

I gave a nod before saying, "You're free now, you don't need to worry about the past."

She didn't say anything and just stared at in a daze, as if she was coming to so kind of realization.

I knew that with that, there was nothing else to worry about.

All that was needed was so ti for her to arrange her thoughts, so it was better to leave her alone.

I grabbed the Dwarven King and said, "Let's go."

He looked like he had sothing else to say, but he could also see the look on Elsa's face. So in the end, he allowed to drag him away.

Once we were gone, Elsa couldn't help revealing a blush and saying, "Can I really look to that future?"
