Nise Seiken Monogatari: Osananajimi no Seijo o Uttara Michizure ni Sareta

Magary, my closest companion since infancy, was selected as the sacred saint. Now, she must wear a constant smile in the royal capital, enduring endless lessons in proper manners and refined dancing. Her new life will be confined within suffocating walls of tradition and expectation. Growing up side by side, I couldn’t help but think one thing as I watched her struggle—her arms still tied—desperately trying to break free. A pang of sadness tugged at my heart, yet I made my choice. With a firm shove, I directed her toward the waiting knight sent to escort her away. The weight of that moment lingered, knowing our carefree days together had come to an abrupt end. Though part of me wished to hold her back, duty and fate had already sealed her path. The echoes of her protests faded as the distance between us grew, leaving only memories of laughter and shared secrets behind. Now, she belongs to a world of gilded cages and hollow smiles, while I remain outside, haunted by the silence she left behind.
