"You are extremely compatible. Compatible to the point it can rival other legends in the district," Lucius revealed.
"Then the engagement?" I asked knowing the answer.
"Congratulations! You have completed your last stage in the engagement process, something I didn't even do with Julian yet," Yulee brightly smiled.
I hung my head down since this was the exact opposite of what I expected it to be. But I soon perked my head up when I recalled it was still at its engagement stage. It could still be broken. In fact, why didn't I try to break it now?
"Can I break our engagement from the broken test results?"
"The test isn't broken," Alex narrowed his eyes.
"So can I break our engagement even though we're supposedly compatible?" I pleaded.
"Let's get ready for school, Rika," Luke ignored my question as he pulled me towards the door.
"I'm not going to school until this engagement is broken," I tried to shake off his grip.
"There's no way it can be broken now," Luke sighed.
"This test just sealed both of our fates. I didn't want to do this, but you were adamant on breaking this engagement so I decided to take this test with you to see the chances," Luke continued to pull me.
What did he mean by sealing both of our fates? There was no way I was going along with this. I stubbornly sat on the floor, unwilling to move until I got an explanation. I looked at Lucius who helped conduct the test for the answers.
"You are bound to each other to the point you only have the wedding ceremony left," Lucius face palmed.
I became utterly speechless as I couldn't comprehend his words. It couldn't be that because of taking this stupid test, I was bound to Luke forever. Was this what Ellen meant of the Roselia family planning my future until my deathbed?
It eerily seemed like it was coming true from the scene in front of me. My head felt dizzy like I was going to faint from the news. If it didn't hit me when Yulee mentioned even though she didn't go this far with Jules, it did with one sentence from Lucius.
I felt my mind numbing down as I soon found myself inside the dorm room. Luke brushed my hair and added some accessories like usual. On my part, I only needed to change into my uniform before going to the cafeteria.
I dumbly changed and sat in front of Ellen. Her eyes widened like she worried for my broken appearance when I barely touched my food. It was no wonder she needed time alone. Luke had to drag me out of the dorm room as I attached myself to my pillow.
"You were right," I sadly admitted.
"We're both stuck in this miserable situation now," I couldn't take another bite.
"What happened?" Ellen asked in her usual tone.
"I tried to break my engagement with Luke when I realized I needed permission from him to do almost everything last night. Today, I woke up in one of his mansions, conducting the last stage of our engagement to find out it couldn't be broken," My dead eyes gazed into the distance.
Ellen gasped as her fork dropped down onto the table. Unlike yesterday, her face quickly transformed into a well of pity. There were no traces of envy she showed the day before. I guessed I was in an even worse situation than I thought I was in.
"I never thought there would be things I would be thankful for," Ellen responded after a moment of silence.
"I was so horrible that day," Ellen apologized to me.
"No, it's because of that day I realized Luke had more control over me than I thought he had," I shook my head in denial.
"I still have a slim chance to escape from the same predicament, but you have none," Ellen seemed to blame herself.
"I know," my voice cracked as I couldn't deny the fact anymore.
My head became attached to the cold table until Luke had to drag me to the classroom when my body wouldn't move on its own. I couldn't focus more than usual on any of my classes since Lucius' words kept repeating inside my head. I was bound to him to the point there was only marriage left to make it permanent.
At the same time, I didn't know what it fully meant. But I knew it couldn't be good from Ellen's reaction. I played with my pencil on my desk while ignoring the teacher's direct glares in my direction. I wasn't in the mood to deal with them today.
It was only until Luke stood in front of my desk after all our classes ended, I detached myself from the surface of my desk.
"What do you want?" I m.o.a.ned.
"We have to go to the teleportation gate to go to our practical mission." Luke replied concisely.
"What about our supplies?" I asked.
"Daniel already prepared everything at our location."
After that, I blanked out before finding myself inside a small house composed of rocks and mud. Its walls were made of stone bricks while the roof were punctured wooden planks layered on top of each other. The ground seemed to be simple dirt while the simple furniture were all made from wood.
Was I already in the fifth district?
