‘uh?’
The moment Chester jumped off the cliff, Monia’s body floated into the air and time passed slowly.
‘uh?’
The first thing Monia felt when she jumped off the cliff was that her body had become lighter after being freed from the gravity that had oppressed her until now.
However, it was only for a moment that her body became lighter after being released from the shackles of the world, and the ground roughly pulled Chester, Monia, and Ant, who had risen in the air, to itself, like a mother obsessively imprisoning her baby so that it would not fall from her arms.
“Kyaaa!!”
Just like the collapse of a thousand-year-old empire that seemed to last forever, like Monia who lost everything in an instant, prosperity and prosperity always come equally to all without wings, as if it were to decline.
it’s a fall
“Inhale!”
Monia listened to Chester’s words, reflexively inhaled, then closed her mouth.
“Spread out!”
“?!”
“Put your legs together and stretch your body!”
The moment Monia was flustered but somehow managed to get into the position Chester said, after the fall of the three was over, a huge spray of water rose on the surface of the lake, which was not windy because of the waterfall.
“Growl… !”
Monia, who had fallen into the water, reflexively exhaled her breath in surprise, then inhaled it again, then struggled against the rushing water.
Ant also fluctuated, and Chester somehow managed to swim to the riverbank with the two fussing people up to land.
“Coke! Coke! … … ! Oops! Khehehehe!”
– Keck! Keck! Khehehehe! Keck!
While Monia and Ant, who drank a lot of water, coughed up water, Chester wiped the water running down his face with his palm and smiled refreshingly.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! It reminds me of the old days!”
“Say something, Coke! and do it! Coke! You crazy bastard!”
“A surprise gift. it was fun?”
“What’s fun, ugh! Whoops!”
“oh my.”
Chester patted Monia on the back as she kept vomiting.
“When I was young, I did a lot of things like this with my friends. Who is the bravest?”
“What game is that?”
“Jump into a river in the most dangerous place. One of them was scolded by the village elders for returning home crying with a broken head. Back then, my mother tried to kill me.”
Kids don’t know what’s dangerous. Chester wet his head while saying that.
Of course, Monia, who was suddenly caught and crashed, glared at Chester, asking if that was what the guy who jumped down after grabbing a person would say.
“But is this much safer than going down a cliff?”
“Where the hell are you going?!”
“Water reduces the impact, and as long as you have a good posture, you won’t get hurt, it’s fast, and it consumes less energy. Conversely, if the cliff is twisted, you will fall and die. It’s far more dangerous.”
Monia suddenly felt the difference between the danger she thought of and the danger Chester judged.
The average person wouldn’t take the risk of jumping from that great height, even if they knew it was safer to just jump down.
because i’m scared because i’m afraid
But Chester is different.
If there are two paths, even if it seems more dangerous, if it is judged to be safer, it will move without hesitation.
It was like that when I first came to this island. Not being afraid, he went straight into the forest and actively moved while exploring.
The unstoppable movement of Chester was like the protagonist of an action play.
They always move and move forward so that the audience does not have time to get bored with pleasant and upbeat music.
‘I should also imitate that judgment and action.’
Of course, Chester wasn’t acting mindlessly. Monia knows that well.
Most of the faces you make when you’re looking at Chester are those of deep contemplation.
To live.
to get out of this island someday.
and life after that.
There was a lot to worry about.
However, there was also a lot of time given to Chester and Monia.

Living in the world outside this island is hard.
You have to pay attention to relationships between people, you have to work to earn money, so you have to pay attention to that too, and if you have a family, that’s a problem… … .
At least there is none of that here.
My body was tired, but my heart was light. It was like hell at first, but as time passed and my life settled down, the stress was almost gone.
As Monia and Ant spit out the water and regain their strength, Chester walks with them.
It’s time to go back.
To their home, the most comfortable, comfortable and longed-for on this island.
to home.

After hearing that he was missing from the battlefield, Jordi has returned.
After Jordi’s disappearance, Tiara was able to find some stability only with the return of Jordi, who had to live a life that was worse than before, literally hellish.
However, Jordi who returned was somehow different.
Jordi, whom I had seen during my time at the academy, shone. You could say he was truly a prince.
Not a prince in real life, but a prince in a happy fairy tale that ends with the words that the two of them lived happily ever after.
When she was having a hard time, when she was suffering, he always came to talk to her and gave her strength.
Tiara, who had lived in a simple country and ascended to the royal capital and was hit and run among the nobles and suffered and was mentally cornered, naturally became dependent on Jordi.
By relying on Jordi, the bullying disappeared.
The time when I had to eat hard every day has passed, and I can enjoy eating too much food without regretting it in front of an abundant table so that my upper legs break every day.
I was happy.
It is safe to say that those days were the happiest times in T-ara’s life.
But since that day, the day the academy burned down, a lot has changed.
I had to spend time drying my blood every day as I became distant from Jordi and suffered.
With Jordi coming back, I thought that hell would end and happiness would come again.
The moment Jordi returned, the castle was stained with blood.
Jordi killed his father, took the crown himself, and filled the palace with the forces he created outside.
Naturally, fierce resistance followed.
All the people in the royal palace are talented people who are one of the best in the kingdom, with the ability, pride, and even loyalty to the kingdom.
It took a long time to meet their resistance, suppress their resistance, and dominate because they did not obey even if they recklessly invaded the king and took the position after beating the king.
But Jordi did it in the end.
Sometimes he used cruelty as a weapon that crossed the line as a human, sometimes he cunningly teased his tongue, aroused desire and threatened, and sometimes he used his own power, knights and soldiers, to crush fearful cowards into submission, and at the end of a long time, they conquered the palace. dominated
Although it took longer than planned, it was also a feat that defied the expectations of many who believed that Jordi’s rebellion would fail.
However, in return, the palace was devastated.
There were many setbacks in the communication network with the frontline, and as a result, the frontline collapsed frequently without the supply of necessary soldiers or materials in time.
As planned by the Duke, who waited patiently for the kingdom to be devastated through Jordi’s coup, the Duke took advantage of this opportunity and narrowed the front line at once.
Jordi has changed.
Every action he did upon his return was creating death.
It brought blood to the palace and poured out the deaths of soldiers who risked their lives to protect the country.
Her face, which always smiled proudly and brightly, had eyes like those of a dying person, and her well-managed hair, which used to shine brightly, lost its luster, perhaps from being frizzy in the hard life.
What changed most of all was Jordi’s attitude toward Tiara.
Up until now, Jordi had devoted all his heart and soul to Tiara, doing whatever she wanted and doing for her.
It was the same even now.
However, the way of giving was different.
Previously, if Tiara was for her by letting her eat what she wanted and giving her a beautiful dress, now she was doing it for her by painfully and brutally executing those who hurt her and made her suffer.
Whether she wanted it or not, she didn’t care.
Tiara cried out, saying please stop and that she was okay, but her voice did not reach Jordi.
How much time had passed since Jordi came.
Before anyone knew it, Tiara came to be called the witch who brings death.
“… … .”
Tiara looked at Jordi, who was quietly sleeping next to her.
The man who wanted so much to be by her side, and who hated her endlessly for putting herself in this situation, is breathing quietly.
They share the same bed, but they are too far apart for a wide bed.
Wary of assassination, Jordi hated having anyone near him when he was sleeping. At least it was a tiara, so sleeping in the same bed was acceptable.
However, a thorough escort was erected around the bed.
The escorts were wary of all directions, but at the same time, they were also sending a wary gaze to Tiara.
Tiara didn’t like them. He also hated Jordy, who was wary of himself.
That’s why, just as Jordi hates himself getting close, Tiara didn’t want to get close to Jordi either.
The two are close.
Even so, an invisible wall stood in the way between the two.
It must be the softest and softest bed in the world to lie on, but why is it so uncomfortable?
Obviously, the physical distance between the two people was close, but the distance in their hearts was getting farther than when they were not near each other.
* * *
“Ahhh! How long is this bed!”
Monia jumped on the moss bed and rolled over.
It’s already dark outside and it’s time to go to sleep.
In the past, they would have slept apart from each other, but Monia, lying on the bed, looked at Chester and gently patted the seat next to her.
Chester also lay down next to Monia without objection, and the two of them fell into a sweet sleep like honey while holding each other tightly.
