I Became the Private Tutor of a Ruined Princess

I just wanted to see a happy ending.

I never expected it would turn out like this.

“The contract ends today.”

“What does that mean?”

Elin’s eyebrows gather in the middle.

As if he really didn’t understand.

How on earth did this happen?

Luke couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“… I am no longer a tutor. I have no reason to be here.”

“Teacher, were you by my side because of the contract?”

Elin smiles faintly.

I am absolutely certain that a teacher would never do that.

But Luke had to betray Elin’s heart.

“I guess… that’s right.”

“… … What?”

Ellin laughs as if she misheard.

Instead, he smiles brightly and brushes his hair back.

“What does that mean?”

Do you still think it’s a joke?

Still have strong faith.

Luke said nothing, just met her eyes.

“… Teacher?”

Only then do the corners of your mouth become stiff.

It didn’t take long for my strong faith to waver.

Elin, who was trembling like an animal abandoned by its owner, barely managed to squeeze out a voice.

“… … Lie.”

“… … ”

Yeah, that’s actually a lie.

Of course, the reason I was by Elin’s side wasn’t just because of the contract.

But now I had to push it away even if I had to make excuses like this.

“The contract is over if we renew it.”

Ellin’s voice was full of tremors.

“Just sign here.”

When did you prepare it?

He thrust the contract in front of me.

A contract filled with special treatment that you wouldn’t receive even if you went to the royal palace.

There was only one thing that was annoying.

“Who makes the contract period permanent?”

Knowing that it was not honest, the contract period was written in very small print.

“There’s nothing more you can learn from me now, right?”

“… … ”

Elin kept her mouth shut.

Her level had long since surpassed Luke’s.

“I have to go to the top of the tower now. It’s an old promise.”

“Are you going to where ‘he’ is now?”

Elin’s eyes sink.

Just like when I first met her.

The eyes that once shone like sapphires were now covered in darkness reminiscent of the deep sea.

“… … ”

It was only then that I realized I had slipped up.

Ever since, Elin had hated the guy who tried to take Luke to the Magic Tower.

“Don’t go.”

Ellen took a step closer and held out her hand.

“Stay with me.”

The small and scarred hands have now become white and beautiful.

Luke made it that way.

“… That can’t be.”

So even more so, I couldn’t hold that hand.

As if she had expected it, a gust of wind escaped from Elin’s mouth.

“Yeah. The teacher was always like this.”
