(EP.337)Of Hearts #6
337 – Queen of Hearts #6
Mirna and I walked away from the Lioness mansion for a moment and chatted.
“This seems to be the royal capital from two years ago. It’s Monarch City before I introduced the Slave Abuse Act. It’s a world without Teo Gospel yet.”
First of all, about the information I have acquired.
“You’ll have to check more to find out.”
I think this is the royal capital from two years ago.
As proof of that, the old butler of the Lioness said that Elgar is celebrating her nineteenth birthday this year. Considering that Elgar’s original age was over twenty, it is correct that she has returned to the past now.
Of course, I’m not really going back to the past.
This imaginary world is so sophisticated and lively that it can be called real, it feels as if we have returned to a day from two years ago.
The feeling of rain water and wet clothes soaking your whole body cold.
The smell of soil soaked in rainwater, raindrops hitting everywhere, and the sound of thunder. All of them are so vivid that there is nothing that can be called a dream.
Is this possible?
🤩🤩🤩🤩
When you touch the falling rainwater with your palm.
Mirna speaks up.
“Are you alive? As if everything was real. In a sense, this place is no different from the real world. Even people’s actions and faces. Because we put special effort into this spell.”
“okay. Obviously, the butler just spoke like a real person.”
“Of course there are limits. Because this world is based on the memories and thoughts of Queen Tarantera. The subconscious within her. It is also a world constructed from it.”
He seemed to know what Mirna was talking about.
It was said that the human consciousness and brain are essentially like an iceberg. The apparent consciousness and the part used are only a part compared to the whole.
In that sense, this world was the world of the unconscious unconscious.
The faces of people Aira had seen, and the things that passed by. A world created by accumulating information that was thought to be insignificant.
Everything Aira is aware of.
Mirna added an explanation to help my thinking.
“The dreamer does not realize that it is a dream until the moment he awakens. Until Queen Aira realizes. This world is real.”
“Certainly, when you dream, you never know if it is real or not.”
But at least it was two years ago.
“Mirna-sama, things may be more difficult than I thought. Ira-sama two years ago was a little, very sick and desolate. It can’t be compared to the time we met at the Ark.”
First, we warned that our work might become difficult.
Fortunately, Mirna readily answered, “I was prepared for difficulties.” Mirna’s spirit is strong.
In admiration, Mirna glanced at me and grabbed my little finger.
“Kyung Tae-oh has endured that time alone. Now that you are with me, it will be much better than it was then.”
“It’s really reassuring.”
I feel like I can do anything.
exactly.
If I had a colleague like Mirna back then, I would have been able to do more things than I do now. Could have done more.
If we had been with Mirna at that time, we would talk a lot every night, and gossip about Aira together. .
With that in mind, Mirna next to me looked so lovely, I hugged her around her waist and rubbed her face against her chest.
swish.
“Wow, ah… !”
At the sudden action, Mirna made a strange sound as if embarrassed. Of course, I did not fall from her soft and warm arms.
“It’s surprising, but I’m glad that Mirna-sama is my wife.”
“Okay, a little, let it fall… ! I got wet in the rain, and I was sweating a bit because I was running around to find Sir Tae Oh, so I might smell… .”
👌👌👌👌
“I don’t have any. It only smells good. warm.”
“… Anyway, this is not the time to be like this! Come on, I have to join you, Lioness. Being alone for a long time can be quite confusing.”
Shh.
At Mirna’s serious talk, I lifted my head out of Mirna’s arms and immersed myself in serious thoughts.
According to Mirna, if you don’t join Elgar soon, Elgar will judge this place as the ‘real world’ and may be affected quite a bit.
I don’t know what kind of effect that would be.
That wouldn’t be a good thing.
“But, as Miss Mirna also saw, I am treated like a stranger in this world. I can’t get into the Lioness family estate without permission. What should I do?”
If you recklessly set foot on the estate of the great family, you will become a pawn. Because Lioness has more than enough right to sum up the behemoth.
what to do
Should I sell Mirna’s name?
The name of the Draco family that Mirna carries on her back is probably still in use in the world two years ago.
But Mirna shook her head.
“Draco’s eldest daughter suddenly appears and visits the Lioness estate-. This is going to get a lot of public attention. Then our location will be discovered by the guards.”
If possible, stealthily and discreetly.
That was Mirna’s policy.
We are like germs that invaded from outside in this world. Also, if Ars Nova, who resides inside Aira, is convinced that we are here, it will be quite troublesome.
“Now is not the time to go out. It is only after we have further armed the spirit of Queen Tarantera that she can face her own darkness and fight it, then it is time for us to get serious.”
“Indeed, Mirna-sama is wise. I want to give you a score of sincerity.”
Mirna shook her head at my joke.
“It will be settled when it’s over.”
I’m guessing it’s over
Anyway.
“Then, it sounds like you have to do things in secret anyway. Does that mean that we should sneak into the Lioness and try to sneak in?”
Mirna shook her head at my question.
“Then there will be an uproar if they are found out. And Sir Tae-oh, there’s no reason you and I have to hide and cross the wall like thieves. We will enter through the entrance of the main gate proudly.”
Are you going to walk right through the front door?
How?
When I was puzzled, Mirna smiled huh-huh.
“Do you know the phrase “lucid dream” by Sir Tae Oh?
“If it’s a lucid dream, are you talking about a dream you have while you are aware that it is a dream?”
“Right. Me and Narmi have been trained quite a bit to have lucid dreams. So if you recognize that this is a dream, you can do this.”
swish.
Mirna rubbed her palm in the empty air.
It’s been like that for a few seconds. I soon noticed a small piece of paper folded in her palm.
Mirna said.
“Okay. This will bring us into the Lioness estate.”
“What is it?”
In response to my question, Mirna opened up a piece of paper and showed it to me.
“It is a job offer document with the seal of the Lioness family. We will enter this mansion as new servants and maids for the Lioness.”
indeed.
On the opened paper, there were a lot of inscriptions and contract details that said that they would hire Tae-oh and Mirna as servants. Also, the last thing stamped is the seal of the Lioness family.
Are you forging this?
Isn’t it like making oil out of nothing?
The training of lucid dreaming is amazing.
I tried to follow, but it didn’t work.
So I asked Mirna with half regret and half expectation.
“Can you make more?”
“I tried too. I can’t. It wasn’t my dream, so making one sheet of paper was the maximum. I’m pretty tired.”
That’s right.
Does that mean you can’t use it at will?
Still, this paper alone was enough for now.
* * *
We rang the bell at the main gate of Lioness Villa again.
just a little bit.
A small bell ringing in the sound of rain. Soon someone approaches us with an umbrella.
It was the former butler.
Shh.
The butler looked at our faces after receiving the paper Mirna was handed over. Also, look carefully at the words or seals written on the paper once more.
“I, Rowan, are in charge of hiring the employees. But I can’t remember if they hired two people recently. That means… .”
Shh.
Then, after the old butler snapped his fingers and set off sparks. I swung the paper back and forth at the flame. I don’t know what he was doing, but he acted like an inspector who always checks for counterfeit bills.
In fact, it would have been similar to that.
“All the business papers used by the Lioness have been specially treated. If this were real, the lion’s print would appear blurry when the fire was lit on the back.”
“… … .”
I was very nervous at the old butler’s words.
You won’t find out if it’s a forgery.
“after… .”
Mirna also seems to be quite nervous. I don’t think she knew that the Lioness business papers had special treatment.
Also do I have to go?
taken from noblemt l
Get started.
─The fairy’s trick!
The sugar and sugar that I have stored up so far revitalize my hair. Thanks to this, his head, which became hot like an overheated machine, came up with an ingenious idea.
“We are specially hired by Lioness Youngae.”
Rowan’s gaze turned to my face at my words.
“… Lady?”
“I needed help for the Queen’s upcoming birthday. I’ve come a long way, so I hope you can go inside and rest.”
“… … .”
I don’t know how my dignified attitude felt, but the eyes behind the old butler Rowan’s glasses were wide open.
Elgar is so moody that he buys slaves or hires servants at will.
Elgar’s indulgence will be convincing.
Well, how are you?
“Hmm.”
Soon after, the old gentleman put the paper in his hand and put it into his bosom.
“The documents are unmistakably genuine. Let them come inside.”
odd profit.
Soon, the heavily closed iron door opened by opening it to the left and right. What it means is one. It is said that our operation worked well.
Indeed, as Mirna said, we were able to enter through the front door proudly!
“I will take you to the lady.”
With that feeling, we followed the butler as we walked through the spacious garden. As I walked after him, I spoke to Mirna in a voice so low that the butler could not hear it.
“Yongke also copied the Lioness business documents. that it has been specially treated. Did you know?”
“That is quite normal. When it comes to the story of the Lioness, I might know better than the Lioness maiden. It’s like that.”
It wouldn’t be a romantic relationship.
Did they even send agents to each other to steal information?
It would be better to just keep this a secret.
The important thing now is that we have safely infiltrated into the villa of the Lioness. It was a familiar place to me, but Mirna was busy looking around to see if the inside of the building was strange.
“It looked like this. Sir Tae-oh said he had a period of stay here. Does it look the same compared to the real thing?”
“It’s the same. I don’t know if it’s because of the rain, but it’s a little more gloomy. Originally, it was a noisy place because there were a lot of people.”
After that, we went to the bathroom led by the maids, washed ourselves, and changed into clean clothes.
I had to see the face of the high-ranking family, Lioness Young-ae, but I couldn’t meet her wet, so it’s only natural. After finishing the rough grooming, the butler led us down the familiar hallway.
The hallway on the left of the second floor of the mansion.
If you walk there, you’ll find Elgar’s private office.
The butler standing in front of it knocked on the door and said,
“Lady, the two servants you hired have arrived. Shall I let you in?”
Soon after, a voice is heard from within.
-Have I hired anyone recently? That’s weird. Please come inside at once.
Awkward, gleeful.
The butler gently opened the door. The turbid and unpleasant smell that seeps through the open gap stimulates my senses. It’s really boring. Is it a hwasaengbang?
Mirna also frowned and coughed.
“It smells like magic herbs. It looks like he’s banging his head against a flaming firewood.”
“Because Elgar used to be a smoker.”
But it would have been cut off.
Ever since she had a baby in her womb, she hadn’t seen her burn magic weeds. On the one hand, I felt willpower and determination, and I even had respect for it.
As I entered the room, where this unpleasant odor and fumes of smoke were as thick as dry ice, I had to admit it frankly.
Did Elgar go back to 2 years ago too?
“So, who are you?”
you don’t recognize us
