Seven Years Of Chasing, I'm Done

Synopsis

My grandfather was a general who rose from humble beginnings in the Kingdom of Serenya. My father carried on his legacy. He devoted himself to the military, protecting our homeland, and spent most of his life fighting on distant battlefields. He earned countless honors and was granted Sterling Hall, along with the prestigious title of General Sterling. My mother, who was the daughter of a merchant, passed away during childbirth. I grew up side by side with Lucas, the Young Lord of the neighboring Everly Estate. I loved sparring and training with weapons, while Lucas had a talent for poetry and music. I spent seven years chasing after Lucas. For the past seven years, I was Lucas's ultimate simp. I knew his likes and dislikes like the back of my hand. From his favorite art and poetry, to the tunes he loved, right down to the wine he drank and the food he liked. I treated his friends like royalty, always generous and making sure they had a good time. But on my eighteenth birthday, everything took a turn. I heard it myself that Lucas was joking around with his buddies. "Anna's nothing but a rough nobody, pathetically obsessed. She can't even compare to a single strand of Lila's hair." I turned to my maid and ordered, "Go to the palace and inform my aunt, I'm ready to accept the marriage the King has arranged for me."
