15. Snow Moon Flower – 12
It took a great deal of time to move from the ruined hut to transform into a space where people could live.
No matter how good his natural dexterity was, it was because the duke, who had never experienced anything bad since he was born into a duke’s family, made a lot of mistakes because he was handling tools for the first time in his life.
It looked like a decent cabin from the outside, but because the joints were not meticulous, there were small holes here and there.
“With this in mind, I will have to live with the barrier surrounding the cabin for the time being. If there is even a shower, there may be a flood in the house.”
Seeing the completeness of the cabin, Ariel muttered in a soft tone.
“…Sorry, Ariel. Why don’t we go down to the village and bring in a good carpenter?”
Hearing Cain’s remorseful murmur, Ariel smiled as if she was having fun.
“it’s okay. Who is good at anything right from the start? It’s a house. As long as we live in the future and gradually fix it and repair it, there’s no problem. I mean, personally, I think a house and a person are the same. At first, there are many mistakes and gaps, but I think it is a very romantic fact that you get used to it over time and gradually move towards perfection.”
Ariel crosses her arms as if clinging to Cain’s. It was one of Ariel’s new habits after swearing love on that day instead of a wedding ceremony.
“Did I tell you? I’d much rather have a cabin where you’ve touched every corner from one to ten. So I don’t care. The nest we will live in in the future is what we have to complete as we survive.”
Saying that, Ariel kissed Cain on the cheek. For some reason, Cain thought that she smelled like fresh lavender. And the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Being able to take failure lightly was the privilege of young men and women.
Time goes by. Summer passed, and autumn came. And before I knew it, it was spring again.
A hut built in a place where no one goes, the time spent with Cain only in line was a truly blissful time for a woman named Ariel Thiers.
During the three seasons passing by, the only people who came face to face with her were Cain, the village chief, and a merchant to purchase daily necessities. She spent her life sitting alone in the cabin, looking at Cain and talking only to him. In preparation for an unexpected situation, he repeatedly exercised self-restraint even going in and out of the cabin.
…but it wasn’t hard at all. Because by her side there is always a much greater and much more lovable man by her side than all the people in the world put together.
A woman named Ariel Thiers was not greedy, so she could be satisfied with just having a man named Cain von Estel by her side.
Eating with Cain, taking a walk around the area with him, talking with him face to face, saying ‘good night’ to each other and lying on the bed and going to sleep-
Indeed, even though insignificant and insignificant daily life was being repeated, it felt like a miracle to a woman named Ariel.
During the 20 years, from being revered as a saint to going on an expedition to subdue the ‘witch of winter’, Ariel had never been able to rest comfortably. If I tried to take a break, I used to feel like I was being criticized by the whole world.
…That was scary. Although it was always a strong driving force that suppressed her heart and made her whip herself. Looking back now, it seems that there was not even a second of time for a woman named ‘Ariel Thiers’.
But with him it’s different. Ariel by Cain’s side is nothing more than Cain’s wife, Ariel. His only wife who only cared about receiving his love and giving him love.
Just by being aware of such a fact, the body is really light, the mind is just excited, and the world looks so peaceful.
Now she was just happy.

Miracles continue.
It’s spring.
“Ariel, if the weather clears up, why don’t we go out somewhere?”
“Are you going to play? Are you saying that we should go and play by the stream in front of you, like we did last time?”
Cain shakes his head at Ariel, who opens her eyes wide and asks such a question.
“No, I think I’ve been to all the places worth visiting in this area, so let’s go a little farther this time. It’s not a bad thing to go out and have fun sometimes.”
“…but that’s it.”
At Cain’s words, Ariel momentarily showed hesitation. It was easy to forget because the days had been so comfortable and peaceful lately, but they were definitely fugitives. They had been hiding in a rural village in the southern part of the continent in search of a deserted place on purpose, but there was no guarantee that there would be no risk of being caught in the eyes of a pursuer who wanted to find their whereabouts while walking around a crowded place. .
“what’s the matter. Could it be that you are worried?”
Cain patted Ariel’s head lightly and whispered. As he stroked her hair, for some reason, it seemed that her mind and body were at ease.
“…A little bit, I’m nervous. If something goes wrong…”
Ariel breaks down in tears at the thought that this daily life with you may be broken.
“Ariel.”
After looking at the shuddering Ariel for a very short while, Cain held Ariel tightly in his arms.
“…ah.”
They became a couple and fell asleep on the same bed, and they had already mixed their bodies several times, but Ariel’s face turned red in the end at this unexpected expression of affection. Her husband’s love must have been something she would not easily get used to until the end of the world.
“You have said this to me before. Before going to the Emperor’s Kingdom, he had lived with his parents in a rural village. And since my parents died, I haven’t been outside the Empire for 20 years.”
At Cain’s sudden words, Ariel involuntarily blinked.
“…yes. I definitely did say that. But why?”
“I mean, I really don’t like that.”
“yes?”
“Before time turned back, you said that you were revered as a saint throughout your life. It was said that he was worshiped as the representative of the goddess and as the noblest human being on earth.”
For a moment, Ariel didn’t miss the fact that Cain’s hand, which was holding her, shook very slightly.
“Then, where is your life as ‘Human Ariel’? Where should I go to find the life of a human Ariel, other than the ‘Saint Ariel’ who was worshiped by everyone, received their expectations, and eventually grew up as the idol they wanted?”
“…..”
“To be honest, I really hated it. I didn’t like it very much that the world you’ve been through, experienced, and known has been so small and cramped. I really didn’t like the way you just piled up a lot of knowledge without experience.”
…it feels From the warmth embracing her, she desperately felt his heart that only thought of her.
“So let’s go. I mean, I want to show you a little more. I want to make you feel a little bit more. I want to let you know that there is a wider world beyond the narrow world that has surrounded you so far.”
Ariel laughed along as he smiled brightly at himself, saying that if he really wanted to, there wouldn’t be a place he couldn’t go to.
ah, i was happy I was so happy that the man she loved the most in the world cared about her so much and loved her so much. What kind of woman in the world, in such a situation, could not laugh and gossip-
“…the sea.”
“yes?”
I knew it well as the knowledge I acquired through books, but it was a place I had never seen with my own eyes. Ariel whispers in a tone that is somehow shy and somewhat embarrassed.
“Actually, I’ve wanted to go to the sea for a very long time.”
…Ah, and the promise I shared with him at that time, I’m sure-

Miracles continue.
It’s spring.
After completing all preparations, the two of them left their home for the first time in a long time and went on a trip to a faraway place.
Needless to say, the destination was the sea.
“…ah.”
The sea I saw for the first time in my life was really wide. The sunlight was reflected on the surface of the sea, and it seemed to shine like a jewel.
The sea she was facing with her eyes was a truly beautiful landscape. Of all the things she had ever seen, she thought it must be the second most beautiful thing.
“What do you think? I really wanted to show you this sight.”
And next to Ariel, the person she thought was the most beautiful in the world smiled shyly.
“…Cain…”

My heart beats loudly. He must have been a man who always impresses her.
How heartbreaking is this? That there is someone who cares about me and loves me so much.
What is this heart-thumping thing? To be able to see the smile of a loved one from such a close distance.
…It couldn’t have been a really cool thing. Being with you, sharing many things with you, my world has become so wide beyond the narrow world I knew.
I learned a lot from you as my teacher.
I learned the sincerity of caring only for others. I learned to love someone.
Things I hadn’t known before, various things I hadn’t experienced, various landscapes I hadn’t seen with my own eyes, and unfamiliar emotions I hadn’t known before.

My small world is with you and suddenly it has become so wide and big.
At this moment, there is no doubt that the world that Ariel Thiers was made of has expanded even further and vastly.
And he was more than happy that the person who gave him this gift was none other than Cain.
“…Cain.”
“yes?”
“Can I come here again? Would it be possible to hold hands with you again someday and come see the sea with you?”
With Ariel whispering a wish that won’t come true in front of his eyes, Cain answers her as if it were natural.
“…as much as you want.”
Saying that, Cain gently grabbed Ariel’s hand.
“As many times as many times as many times as you want, I will bring you here whenever you want. I will always come back here with you. Because we are already a couple.”
As I looked at you smiling at me as you said that, somehow I felt like my tears would overflow. Why? If I only stood in front of you, it would be so easy to become a crybaby.
Cain, I may want you-
…I had a dream.
With him, I dream of going to see the sea once again. And the dream of going to see not only the sea, but also places with you that you have only seen in books.
In the dream we were walking together. They were smiling brightly as if they were laughing at each other, caring for each other, and enjoying the fact that they were together.
I don’t even know how many days we will be together in the future.
I wish that the days with you would last forever.
A beautiful wish that should not be hoped for, I ended up dreaming.
I’m so glad I got to know you and ended up loving you-
For that alone, he sincerely thanked the goddess he no longer believed in.
