15. Snow Moon Flower – 18
“…umm.”
When he came to his senses, he realized that Ariel was fast asleep on the bed after overlapping his body. Looking out the window with blank eyes, she saw the scene of the sun slowly sinking into the other side before she knew it. The time when I was talking face to face with him was around the time when it was about the transition from morning to afternoon, so no matter how little I guess, it would only be possible to say that I had been soundly asleep on the bed for about four to five hours.
“Ah, I see…”
In an instant, Ariel’s face turned red as she recalled what had just happened. Just before, he was lying on this bed with Cain, whispering love to each other, and even making love.
Having made love to him so passionately and passionately, she clung to him, screaming and clinging to him, eventually losing her mind, and when she regained her consciousness after a while and opened her eyes, he had already disappeared, leaving only herself alone. I realized that I was lying neglected on this bed.
“…Ah, honey…”
Realizing that he wasn’t by her side when she opened her eyes, Ariel was momentarily terrified and left. Why on earth did he get up from his seat first and disappear without saying anything to himself?
In fact, I wonder if a man named Cain von Estel had a perception that a woman named Ariel Thiers was quite a burden. So, after having a relationship with him, I wonder if he got up first because he was annoyed that he might bother him.
“…no. He can’t be.”
At the moment of soaring negative thoughts, Ariel vigorously shook her head from side to side and denied it. After being in a relationship, it was entirely his fault that he fell asleep as if he had passed out. Because last night, after finding out that the princess was pregnant with his child, she couldn’t sleep at all.
As I chewed my own lips, thinking about how to do this, whether I would be abandoned by him, or whether I would become a really useless woman, the night ended before I knew it. It was abandoned and the day was bright. It was only because of this that after overlapping with him, it was all self-inflicted that I lost my mind as if I had passed out.
And even though she knew that causal relationship better than anyone else in the world, Ariel couldn’t suppress her growing nervousness. The ominous delusion that spread without knowing the end was burning Ariel’s chest to black. Even though she knew very well that her husband was not that kind of man, she herself, who couldn’t stop thinking bad thoughts, existed here.
To be honest, the woman Ariel Thiers was a coward, a crybaby, and a weak woman. After betraying everything she believed in early on, she was the only one who chose Cain von Estel, so Ariel, paradoxically, had a suffocating feeling just to imagine being abandoned by him or that he wouldn’t look back at her. had been through pain.
For Ariel Thier, who prioritized one life over countless lives, if Cain, who could be called her last resting place and bulwark, did not take care of herself, it was as if she literally had no meaning or value to live on.
…But fortunately, the ominous delusion Ariel had been thinking of until just now ended up as just a delusion. Because on a table in the street, not far from the bed, I could find a note clearly written by him.
– I’m sorry I woke you up when I saw you so soundly asleep, so I’ll leave you a note. I’m sorry, but I have business to take care of, so I’ll wake up first. I’m a little sorry that I can’t be by your side until you wake up, but today isn’t the only day. There will be another opportunity next time. If you want to see me, come to my office. I will make sure to welcome you. And I love you. A lot of it too. By the way, the image of you soundly asleep was a bit cute.
“…..”
Looking at the note he left behind, she felt that the bad thoughts that had occupied her mind just before had disappeared without a trace. And thank you. His delicate consideration of thinking of herself even in such small details made her heart happy.
Come to think of it, he was that kind of guy from the start. During the 10 years he had been with him, he loved him without a single inch of change, and he also responded only with love. So it wasn’t wrong. The man she chose in exchange for the world must be a man worth it-
Ariel, who put on her clothes carefully folded on the table and looked at herself in the mirror, saw herself reflected in the mirror and smiled. good night. It was absolutely perfect. Except for the fact that she could not wear her underwear, which had already been soaked with no way to turn it back, and put it deep inside her pocket, it was clear that her appearance was Ariel Thier, a chaste and intelligent figure right up to the moment she entered this room.
kiik-
Contrary to the first time she had entered this room, this time she opened the door feeling like she was going to fly away. There is no usual drowsiness, and the whole body feels fresh as if it were going to fly towards the sky. The mere fact that he cared for her and hugged her made the air so delicious and her heart pounding hard. At this rate, I don’t have the same strange delusions as before, and I feel like I’ll be able to spend happy days by his side from now on…
“Oh, you woke up earlier than expected. Ariel. He was sleeping so hard that I thought I would wake up in the next few hours.”
…Unfortunately, as soon as she left the room, Ariel’s face was crumpled. Because right in front of the door, there was a woman who greeted her with a smile as if she was waiting for Ariel to come out.
“Kyrie. why the hell are you here And how did you know that I was asleep?”
“It’s not that simple. Because I’ve been watching Cain and you from the beginning.”
“…from the beginning?”
In an instant, Ariel’s expression turned slightly grotesque. From the beginning, from where and to what extent did she mean ‘from the beginning’?
“why? Could it be that I’ve invaded your privacy? don’t worry. I’m also a person with a mindset of respecting other people’s privacy, so I haven’t peeped that much. Ah, but I really enjoyed the scene where you wailed in Cain’s arms. To be honest, it was fresh. To think that you, who only makes a benevolent and pious expression in front of others, have such a loose expression.”
“…I think that’s enough to have seen me and Cain from the beginning to the end.”
“Oh, is that so? Sorry if you were offended. But I think you should get used to it at least.”
“Are you getting used to it?”
At the words Kirie spit out while giggling, Ariel unknowingly frowned and asked back. Do you have to get used to it? what kind of nonsense is that If nothing else, a woman named Ariel Thiers had no intention of exposing her naked body in front of anyone except Cain. Only Ariel’s husband, Cain, deserves to see her naked.
“Well, aren’t we all women who are going to be wives of a man? I’m sure there will come a time when he gets tired of dealing with only one woman at a time, so won’t there ever be a day when we’ll all be in the same bed? Surely you don’t mean to blush like a virgin just because you showed your naked body to another woman?”
“…that, what is that…”
Ariel’s face turned bright red at Kyrie’s blatant words. It may be a bit old-fashioned and naive, but she was a woman with a philosophy that when a man and a woman share a relationship, they should focus on each other and love each other. But did he mean that another woman besides himself might climb on the bed, fawn over him, and seek love? And even in the state that you are already using the same bed with him?
“Don’t talk nonsense. Cain is not like that. He loves other women besides me, but he’s also the only one who loves me when he has me in front of him. How much more so to enjoy having two women on the same bed. Do you think that makes sense?”
“Well, I know very well that Cain is not that kind of person. But is there any guarantee that he will continue to do so? I don’t know much about men either, but I’ve heard that men have a great desire to deal with multiple women at once.”
When Kyrie shrugged her shoulders and said that, Ariel involuntarily imagined it in her head. One dark night, as usual, Cain looked at him and smiled softly. And also himself looking at him with loving eyes and Bianca sitting in the seat next to him. Eventually, in the dark, I had a shocking imagination of three white skins entwining like snakes and becoming one.
“…if he wants it, I’ll gladly accept it. After all, it’s clear that you and other women will face each other for the rest of their lives, so there’s no need to be frightened at seeing someone other than him on the bed.”
“Oh, that must be a pretty bold aspiration. Then, if Bianca or I lay in the same bed as you and get entangled with Cain, are you confident enough to handle it?”
Ariel hesitated for a moment at Kyrie’s words, but then nodded as if she had made up her mind.
“There is nothing impossible. You and I aren’t that friendly, but since I believe in and love a man named Cain von Estel, I can’t put my feelings first.
…Actually, her words weren’t entirely sincere. In fact, a woman named Ariel Thiers was very greedy, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that she had to share the man she had once monopolized with another woman. At least, she wished she loved herself the most out of all the other women, but the Cain she knew was not a person who had the personality to favor any one of the women.
He will share his love equally with all women. It is certain that he will divide his feelings of love into 5 equal parts and give one of them to himself. And it was also a clear fact that he was in a position where he had to hastily accept and eat his love, which had been cut into five pieces compared to before he returned.
But it can’t be helped. As much as Ariel loves Cain, she was also a woman who was trying to understand a lot about him. Know. He knows very well that he is in a position where he cannot love only a woman named Ariel Thiers.
However.
“okay? If so, let me ask you one thing: Is it also a fact that you can tolerate being on the same bed as the princess and sharing his love with her in half?”
“…..”
As if looking into Ariel’s insides, Kyrie pierced the painful part she had been trying hard not to think about with a thread. And, of course, Ariel couldn’t readily answer Kyrie’s question. Because Ariel Thiers was a truly selfish and self-aware woman.
“No, the princess is at least at a better level. The current relationship between you and the princess is not something that can be said to be good even with empty words, but it is clear that this is a problem that time can solve. But, I think there is one thing you can and should never forget.”
“…a matter we can’t forget?”
At Kyrie’s words, Ariel felt that her heart was being grabbed for some reason. The feeling came. No way, what Kyrie wants to say right now is-
“Yes, it is often said. When parents die, they are buried in the mountains, but when children are buried, they are buried in their hearts. Ariel Thiers. Are you intoxicated with the happiness you are currently experiencing and intending to say that you have already forgotten what you are forgetting?”
“…..”
At Kyrie’s words, Ariel was about to say something, but ended up shutting her mouth. Certainly, it was as she said. Although he was consciously trying not to think of himself right now, there was nothing he could do about the existence of Tia, who had left it in the past.
“Time has already turned back once. Looking at it in a good way, you seized another chance, but in reality, you left your child there and ran away. But it seems like you’re just trying to play love next to him, giving everything away, I just said one word because it was really funny. There is a woman right next to him who can be said to be his enemy.”
“…enemies, you say…?”
When Ariel asked a question with a trembling voice, Kirie answered in a low voice with a truly beautiful smile.
“okay. The ‘Witch of Winter’, who destroyed the world after bringing about an endless winter in the future, can’t we say that the true enemy who killed your children is?”
“Still, can you truly forgive her and share Cain’s love with her?”
