Desire for What One Cannot Have
가지지 못하는 것에 대한 욕망Synopsis
I finally put an end to my exhausting unrequited love.
When I discovered that my fiancé, Cedric, was having an affair with my younger sister, only then was I able to let go of my lingering feelings for him.
“Which man could endure your obsession?”
Even my family said it was my fault.
I had always been an obedient daughter who followed everything my father said.
I never hesitated to sacrifice myself for my sick younger sister.
But in return, this was all the treatment I received.
So I decided to run away—from him, and from my family.
“I’ll break off the engagement. I want to live alone.”
My childhood friend Bayern, whom I had known closely since we were little, gladly helped me annul the engagement.
“As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters to me.”
I thought he was just a very kind and gentle friend.
But then…
As soon as I ran away, Cedric began searching for me.
Even my family—who had once looked down on me—started looking for me too.
When Cedric finally found me, he pleaded:
“Come back… please.”
At that moment, Bayern stepped forward and pointed his sword at Cedric.
Cedric stared at him in disbelief and said:
“Y-Your Majesty… how are you with Lapine?”
Bayern—the one I thought was merely a kind friend—was the Emperor?
Hearing that, I could only stand there in complete shock.
