I Chose の小説・ストーリー

"He was silent for only a moment about this blood bond… then he agreed." She left without another word. But it felt too easy. Too strange. I remembered Caspian waking at this same time in my past life, but we never had much contact. I chose him because he had spoken up for me once. If I had to choose an ally for this political marriage, I'd rather have someone who showed me a sliver of kindness than Damon, who would always hate me. I'd even planned my next move if he refused. But now… He agreed. I had to prepare. I would give him the best gift I could.

“I love you. I just want you to know that. I love you so, so much.” I grinned and leaned over to kiss him. “I love you, too.” “I know that I've been a little nervous with the baby coming,” he admitted. “But, it's just that I love you. That you chose me.” I grinned at him. “I choose you,” I said. “Every day, I choose you.”

Only then did it hit me—after all these years, I was still the invisible person that nobody bothered to care for when sick. Grief tore through me. I cried until my body shook and my breath came in short gasps. When I finally stopped, I called my professor, a world-renowned doctor. "Professor Lakeworth, I've decided. I'll leave for Orzelia in three days to further my studies. I'll never return here." … I quickly arranged to be discharged from the hospital after a day of recovery. I wanted to wrap things up and get out of this hellhole as soon as possible.

Not because I must. Because I choose.

I looked at the door. And I made my choice.

Luke represented choice. Vincent represented possession. And I chose myself.

In the end, I decided on the latter. ~~~

I added quietly, “I’ll be out of your way soon. For good. Get it yet?” I turned away before I could see there reactions. Because he, they, it didn’t matter. I wasn’t chasing him. I was chosen. By me. By my hard work. By the Academy.

My only chance. I opened the vial. And I made my choice.
