Epilogue Episode 3. Sins that are increasing (3)
Slurring······
The glass was filled with golden liquid and bubbles rose.
Wait for the bubbles to subside, then peck again.
A bubble like a small jewel bubbled up from the inside of the glass and burst on the surface of the water.
As Arya raised her glass with a satisfied smile, a heavy voice came from beside her.
“I’m thinking of starting a champagne distillery.”
“Hmm. Do you want me to recognize an expert?”
Schlus was sticking his nose in the glass.
It must have been the first time I drank it.
Even if it’s not the first time, this champagne is a high-end product that doesn’t produce even ten bottles a year.
Arya studied the color of the champagne and couldn’t take her eyes off the face of the schluss who continued to smell her, and she let out a laugh.
“No, not now. Later.”
“If later, when are you talking about?”
“After you die. After everyone else dies. I’m thinking of something to do if I’m left alone.”
“Huh…”
After everyone died.
Aria felt a bit sad when she saw Schluss talking casually about the world after the end of mankind.
Schlus definitely intended to live an eternal life.
I intended to live alone in a world where all my loved ones, friends, and even my own children died.
I don’t know what he peeked through the dimensional rift, but Schluss was diligently preparing for a world to live in alone.
For tens of thousands of years, for hundreds of thousands of years, alone and lonely, without being able to die…
Just imagining it was far in front of my eyes.
How could he endure such a life?
That’s only for one woman.
“Oh. I guess I’m starting now.”
“That’s right…”
Suddenly, the surroundings darkened and the curtain opened, and Arya finally realized that she had been staring at the Schluses in awe and looked at the stage in front of her.
She was about to start a play.
Even herself confused by this situation, Aria moved her hips in her stretched position as if uncomfortable.
Since Schluss seems to be busy these days, I jokingly asked him to make time for a play, and he readily agreed.
Arya, who had no interest or knowledge in theater, could not bear to be aware of it, and remained awkwardly silent until the actors came out and said hello to her.
‘What kind of plan is this, Schluse…’
Staring back at Schluse’s face in the dark, Arya was lost in her thoughts.
A busy Schluse probably didn’t come just to see a play.
Thinking that perhaps I had completely misunderstood my intentions, Arya was taken aback and startled.
For example, I think they understood it by saying that there was something to discuss about religion or policy.

But it seemed like Schluss was focusing unexpectedly, which confused me a bit.
Aria had a faint hope that there might be a possibility on this side if it was purely to see my face and take the time to watch the play together.
“Oh. It was fun. I thought the play had nothing to do with me, but it’s more worth watching than I thought.”
“Oh, huh? Eh?”
Aria was confused when the lights came on and Schluss started clapping.
At some point, the actors were back on stage, holding hands and saying hello.
Closing within 10 minutes of starting?
As she was perplexed about what all this was all about, Arya noticed that all the glasses on the table were empty.
She hurriedly turned her head to see her servant collecting empty bottles.
Arya had no choice but to draw conclusions with her aching head.
She just said that she was so focused on the face of the schluss, that she literally just didn’t notice the time passing by ······.
I hate to admit it, but unless the whole theater is trying to trick the aria, that’s the only explanation,
“That’s right. It was fun.”
“Don’t lie to me. You haven’t seen any plays.”
“What…?”
“Or are Arya’s eyes on her cheeks?”
“·······.”
Arya, who tried to stand up from her seat, stiffened as her whole body lost strength.
She couldn’t believe she found out that she was only looking at Schluse throughout the play.
Considering Mine’s cognitive ability, it was natural for her, but Aria’s cheeks gradually turned red as she realized that she hadn’t realized even the obvious.
“Ah, uh… It’s because I’ve already seen the play once.”
“So what? Then what’s the name of the female protagonist?”
“·······.”
Her aria’s mouth was shut tight.
Arya, who couldn’t bear to look at the schluss and turned her head, tried to stand up and-
“All right, all right! Now let’s go!”
“Let’s go for a while.”
“It’s…”
She grabbed her by the wrist and bounced back behind her.
She was strong enough to unleash if she wanted to stand up, but Arya reluctantly sat down in her seat.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever sat in a VIP seat like this in a theater.”
“Hmm. There will be a lot of seating from now on. Even if you don’t have a ticket, as long as you go in anywhere, you’ll find a seat on your own.”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever been with someone alone in an empty theater like this.”
“You are still surprisingly new to many things.”
“Sure.”
“·······.”
It was like a dream.
To think we were able to be together for two of Schlust’s first days.
Aria soon became depressed, thinking that even if a little time passed, there would be only a few things left for the first time Schluss would ever experience.
She was actually late even now.
She was already too late.
It was only relatively recently that she realized that she had been overtaken by buggy b*tches.
However, nothing has changed as long as I am gritting my teeth in resentment.
The more she hesitates, the more late she gets.
That means the chances are getting slimmer.
As late as it was, she had to hurry even more.
I threw away everything including my pride…
Arya bit her lip hard as she made up her mind.
Her sly, Arya’s fingers climbed up and wrapped around the back of Schluse’s hand.
“Schlus.”
“It’s been a while since I called you by my first name.”
“Is it more comfortable to be called you?”
“That’s not it. It’s nice to hear your name in your voice.”
“Today, I have an important story, so I asked you to set aside time like this.”
It was a lie.
There was no way he had prepared anything important for the promise made in the blink of an eye.
But just then, I remembered the important story.
No, to be precise, she mustered up the courage to say something important.
“Chullus. You should know that I adore you.”
“I know.”
If I had answered I didn’t know, she would have run out.
She had been blatantly bumping into her heart, but if she pretended to forget everything, then her heart would really have been broken.
The road was still open.
It’s just infinitely narrow.
Arya took another deep breath and squeezed Schluse’s hand tightly.
“I’ve been thinking a lot…”
Do you even know how many days and sleepless nights I spent worrying about Schluse?
She didn’t know how many tears she shed as she regretted the past.
She has no other match for Schluss, and if only I was standing by his side.
Every day, he imagined how great it would be if he had become the only companion of Schluss, who reigned as the emperor of the continent’s hegemony and was now no different from the absolute.
However, Arya didn’t even deserve such regret.
Around the time she realized her own feelings, or maybe long before that, Schluss had been dating other b*tches.
Even if she goes back to the past, she can’t draw the future she wants.
“The ministers all said in unison. There is no way to stop you from plotting rebellion. As a solution, I was offered a marriage with you. They said that the royal family and you should marry, and that demon blood should be mixed with the imperial family……”
There was no more optimal number than marriage with Schluss.
Re-establish her imperial authority, while at the same time making her rightful successor, her empress’ weakness, without difficulty.
The only problem was that there was only one obstacle standing on the road.
That means you have to duck under the countless women of Schluss.
As the emperor of a country, she has to assume a position that is neither her first wife nor her rightful wife.
In the first place, Schluss didn’t seem to accept it at all.
Arya let go of Schlust’s hand, which had been gripping her tightly.
“It’s all excuses. We can’t let such excuses undermine Jim’s spirit. So, what I’m saying from now on is purely from Jim’s heart, so you should understand and listen to it.”
Arya stood up slowly and took her steps with the click of her shoes.
She then pursed her lips as she finally stood facing Schluse, her hands together. She
She has to say.
This is your last chance.
There is no next.
Arya, who was repeating that to herself, opened her eyes wide.
She made her noise with her quivering throat as she met the lifeless schluss’ dead eyes.
“You… No, I adore you……”
Arya’s hands trembled as they held each other.
I couldn’t bear to ask for all of you.
I couldn’t say such an impudent thing to a man who already had an owner.
A moment of silence felt like an eternity.
Her body trembled as if it was about to collapse.
Tears welled up at the ends of her tightly closed eyes, and it was the moment Arya foresaw her failure.
“It’s a little late. I’ve been waiting. Long time.”
“·······!”
Her hands stopped shaking.
It was wrapped and held by Schluss’ hand.
Aria calmed down her rough breath, feeling a sense of security that was unknown to her at the large, hot, yet slightly rough, soft touch.
She barely lifted her head, stiff and motionless, and was able to spot Schluse approaching and facing her in front of her nose.
“If it’s part, is it okay if it’s 1/6?”
“It’s okay… There’s no way it won’t…!”
1/6.
For now, that was enough.
The rest of the stake.
Unbeknownst to Arya, she was throwing herself at the Schluses.
As she hit her face against her broad chest, she could feel her a little stifling yet pleasant power pressing her whole body.
As her waist was pulled, she was lifted up slightly and her belly button hit her belly button.
She lightly wrapped her entire back with her large arms, as if holding a small doll.
Pleasant stuffiness, and-
“It’s warm…”
I felt the warmth of her body and the throbbing pulse inside her chest.
It was the first time in her life that she had felt such an affectionate embrace.
Although Schlust may not be the first, Arya was the first.
It was the first time I felt so happy.
And there was another thing she felt for the first time.
“Huh?”
“·······.”
Something hard touched Arya’s belly.
Schluss jr cannot mind about the situation
