He Regrets, I Have Moved On

Synopsis

My fiancé, Gordon Bessent, scolded me coldly before leaving for the sword debate at Kaelth. All because I had protected the emerald pendant my mother left me and pushed away a junior girl who tried to extort it from me. Without asking for an explanation, Gordon awarded the emerald pendant to the junior girl. I watched as my mother's relic was taken away, tears streaming down my face in silence. At the sight, Gordon frowned and reprimanded me, "Immortal and mortal paths are separate. This thing is useless to you." I dared not talk back and returned to my courtyard in tears. Wendy Marshall, who lived in the same yard, saw my red eyes and took pity on me. When no one was around, she slipped me a letter. That same night, I packed my belongings and left the mountain without looking back. Later, Gordon frantically searched for me in the mortal world. He pressed a sword against the neck of my mortal husband, his eyes bloodshot, demanding why I had broken our engagement. I stepped in front of the sword, took my mortal husband's hand, and looked straight at Gordon. "As you once said, Immortal Lord, immortal and mortal paths are separate."
