Chapter 147: Sofia's Thoughts
{TL: By Creed}
I didn’t have any friends.
My body wasn’t very strong...
If I pushed myself even a little, I would often end up bedridden.
Because of that, I wasn’t good at sports.
I also avoided moving around too much.
That’s why I didn’t have any friends.
For a child, just sitting still at home is boring...
And since I couldn’t play with others, I figured that’s just how it was.
So, I was alone.
I always played by myself.
I would read books inside the house...
Play with my dolls...
I was always by myself, but I accepted that’s just the way things were.
I thought being alone was normal.
...Until that day.
"~♪"
That day, I was out for a walk.
Even though my body wasn’t strong, it wasn’t so weak that I couldn’t go for walks.
On days with good weather, when I was feeling well,
taking a leisurely walk was part of my daily routine.
"Whoa!?"
Then, a boy suddenly appeared in front of me.
Correction.
I exaggerated a bit.
The boy was about to trip...
I reached out my hand and helped him.
That was Fate.
It was the moment I met my prince.
The children in town didn’t want to play with me because they found it boring.
They would say that and refuse to play with me.
But Fate had just moved to the area, so he played with me.
Rather than feeling happy...
I had a lot of fun.
I had gotten used to playing alone,
but I realized that deep down, I really wanted to play with someone else.
Being with Fate helped me realize that.
Then, one day...
"I'm happy just being with you, Sofia."
They were words that seemed insignificant.
Words that seemed like nothing special.
But to me, they were shocking.
Everyone else said it was boring to be with me.
Even the kids who started off smiling would soon make a sour face...
and stop coming around.
But...
Fate wasn’t like that.
He stayed by my side.
He told me he was having fun.
I can’t express how happy those words made me...
Just a single sentence.
Such a simple thing to say.
But I was saved by those words.
It felt like he was telling me that it was okay for me to be here,
that it was okay because we were together.
If there really is such a thing as a fateful encounter, then I think this was it.
Fate is my destined partner.
My prince.
Is that an exaggeration?
No, I don’t think so.
The warmth I felt in my heart at that moment...
the comfort...
the peace...
It was real.
It was a precious treasure to me.
From that day forward, Fate became special to me.
He became the most important person in my life.
I wanted to be with him forever...
And I started making efforts for that...
Yes.
Meeting Fate...
Those words he said that day...
I think they were the turning point of my life.
"From now on, let's always be together..."
