Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 35 Summary Rhea kept drinking heavily, glass after glass, until she was clearly intoxicated. The narrator tried to intervene, warning her to slow down for her health, but it was too late-her eyes glazed over and she seemed lost in her sorrow. When asked why she was so upset, Rhea revealed she had just broken up with a man who had been cheating on her and was cruel enough to claim he deserved to be with another woman because she refused to sleep with him.

Her voice cracked with tears as she explained she had wanted to save her first time for her wedding day, but he had only ever wanted her for her family's wealth and had never truly loved her. Rhea's pain became clearer as she described how her family was pressuring her to marry someone they had arranged, a wealthy stranger she didn't even know. She had hoped that if she told them she had a boyfriend, they would cancel the arrangement, but her family didn't care. Her frustration and hopelessness led her to drink more, despite the narrator's pleas to stop.

She confessed that she felt trapped by her family's expectations and had no choice but to ask for help. Rhea asked the narrator to pretend to be her boyfriend to help her avoid the arranged marriage. The narrator was stunned, realizing she didn't want a real relationship but needed someone to play the part to satisfy her family. When the narrator questioned if he really was "decent-looking" enough for the role, Rhea looked at him intently and seemed about to kiss him, hinting at a complicated mix of desperation and emotion beneath her request.
