‘Come back, I’ll go… … ‘
It seems like it was just yesterday that I came up to the north, but the time that has passed so quickly informs that the time has come for Ferzen to head to the Lobelium Kingdom.
And unlike Yuriel, Euphemia, who had no ability to protect her own body, knew that it would be very greedy to follow her to the Lobelium Kingdom, where political strife with her children in her arms.
It would certainly be a nuisance to Ferzen.
Therefore, it would be right to entrust the body to Brutein, the safest place when he is not there.
‘At night… … I’ll have to speak up first.’
Obviously, my mouth won’t fall out of my mouth.
Knowing better than anyone that this was a greed that should never be pursued, Euphemia quietly stroked her belly.
‘It won’t be bad for me to be his return home.’
It’s less than half a year anyway.
Of course, it seemed pathetic that he felt afraid of the brief farewell of less than half a year… …
He did not hate Euphemia, who was in love with a life he lived only once, and was afraid to even say goodbye.
Perhaps the first time she felt proud of her weakness, she smiled a little and stepped out.
Then, like an old rocking chair singing a lullaby to a child in the womb, it began to creak regularly.
* * * * *
“no!”
Rarely, at dinner, Yuriel raised her voice and looked at Ferzen clearly.
Shake!
Laura, who was trying to appease her hungry stomach by the smell of fragrant food that aroused her appetite, slightly bit her lower lip and put her hand down.
Why is it that you spit at the dinner table?
Ferzen, who laid the foundation for such a situation, was more disgusting than Yuriel, who raised her voice. Laura glanced at him and sighed inwardly.
“Go to your room. I told them to prepare the meal separately again.”
“… … Yes Yes.”
At the rare welcome sound, Laura got up without hesitation.
read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe she had finally learned how to take care of herself, but it was Laura who felt better for a moment at the sight of a strange little boy.If this meal was going to bring up a sensitive topic of conversation in the first place, wouldn’t it have been better to give him a hint in advance and ask him to eat dinner alone?
‘huh… … ‘
Yes, he is a young man in his 20s, even if he is an adult anyway.
Laura quietly left the dining room, thinking that it was natural to be clumsy even in caring.
And immediately after Laura left, Ferzen briefly shook her head and looked at Yuriel.
“Is that why you don’t even listen?”
“For whatever reason… … ! Why are you not like you?”
“I don’t think it’s right for me to follow you either… … ”
It may be the first and the last, Yuriel and Euphemia agree.
Seeing that, Ferzen laughed softly.
“Now is not the time to laugh… … !”
Since he doesn’t have the ability to take care of himself and even has a child, Euphemia will surely become a stumbling block for him.
Rather than simply worrying about Euphemia, Yuriel didn’t like that Euphemia’s existence caught Ferzen’s ankle and put him in danger.
“I guess I didn’t even think of such a basic idea.”
know.
Know.
Yuriel grew even more resentful.
I don’t want to be separated from Euphemia even for a moment, so maybe he’s being greedy like this.
If the situation had been the other way around, would he have been like this?
“Uriel.”
“… … ”
“Brutein is definitely a safe place.”
If I had to trust someone precious, I would choose it without even a single hesitation.
“then… … !”
“Do you know the power of a warlock who has reached the Apollyon level?”
“I don’t know… … ”
Yuriel closed her mouth and slowly turned her head.
Because he wasn’t immature enough to give a clumsy answer to something he didn’t know.
In fact, a secret library owned by the Imperial Family, Brutein, Alfred, and several other dukes.
Even if you add up all the information on the 3rd floor or higher monsters recorded there, the number will not exceed 30.
“I… … I am not stupid.”
“… … ”
“Most people always have a bad habit of realizing value only after losing.”
But he didn’t.
He was already acutely aware of how precious Yuriel and Euphemia were to him.
“In spring, I want to be taken in by the beauty of the sight of the melting snow and the vegetation… … I don’t want to relive the sadness.”
Euphemia, who was quietly listening to his voice, flinched.
Because he implicitly noticed that it must have been a reference to himself.
“In summer, I want to savor the sweet smell and taste of a cup of hot tea and a set of peaches… … I don’t want to be filled with longing.”
“… … ”
Yuriel, who turned her head, met Ferzen again.
Then, looking at the love engraved in his eyes and the face with a faint smile, he hurriedly bowed his head.
Why is my heart beating so impatiently?
“It was made objectively, excluding subjectivity as much as possible. Not just once or twice, but dozens of times. At the end… … ”
A place where I can leave you guys with peace of mind.
Neither the imperial family, nor the Bruteins.
“Yeah, you’re by my side.”
If he entrusted Brutein, he could not solve it when his life was seriously injured.
But if you’re right next to me, you can melt all the gold coins in the world and bring out the monsters that live on the 3rd floor one by one.
If time is running out, you can recreate the scene of that day by engraving the scars that lead to death.
“So know that I am not being foolish.”
After much deliberation, it became a certainty that would not be shaken.
And unshakable certainty soon becomes a belief.
“Besides, Yuriel.”
“Yes… … ”
“Even if things were the other way around… … ”
Yuriel, even if you had a child without the ability to protect yourself.
“This time, in this place, I would have chosen the same option.”
“… … ”
“Now, seeing that there are no objections, I understand that you agree. don’t start eating The food will get cold.”
Ferzen starts eating.
However, Yuriel and Euphemia were unable to pick up the tableware.
‘Sorry… … ‘
If that’s the case, doesn’t it only make you feel weird when you raise your voice?
Suddenly, the tickling feeling of his heart came down to near his lower abdomen, and Yuriel rubbed her thigh l*wdly.
It’s under the table, so you won’t be able to see it, but she realizes that Euphemia over there isn’t that different from her, and she smiles as if she’s excited.
It must be her, not him, who is sleeping with him tonight.
Can’t stand it even for a moment?
‘Lust year… … ‘
Even if I decided to take my time, being envious was envious.
Also, to be jealous was to be jealous.

breath leaks out
The five nobles, who arrived in Ruerg to prepare to follow Ferzen to the Lobelium Kingdom, saw the humble level of potential they each had, and felt ashamed.
And at the same time, his anger at himself soared, and he clenched his fists violently.
Obviously, their proud soldiers and vassals.
Why do I feel so small when I have to put it out in front of others?
jerk.
Not long after, the five nobles raised their heads when they saw Ferzen walking in front of them with a fever.
Ferzen, who glanced at them, was really thinking what was going on.
When they saw the armor their soldiers standing behind them, they were kicking their tongues inwardly saying that they were ugly.
“You worked hard to get here.”
“no.”
Some of them came directly from the head of the household, who is currently ruling the territory, and some sent their son, who was gaining experience, to inherit the territory.
Remembering their faces one by one, Ferzen continued.
“Time is ambiguous to go back, so I will go through it like this.”
“… … okay.”
I think I have enough time to go back.
Of course, arriving early is good.
However, the nobles were worried.
The fatigue of the soldiers who have to take their feet out of the snow when they step on them, and the cold that seeps into them in such a way will not cause frostbite on their feet.
“do not worry.”
“Yes?”
“The cold air that seeps into the shoe after being buried in the snow for a long time will not cause frostbite.”
Shake!
The northern nobles were quite surprised inside.
He probably doesn’t know much about life in the North, and his time in Ruerg must have been very short.
“I cannot empathize with the difficulties, but I fully understand them.”
“… … ”
“I’m not a tough person to uselessly abuse the talents I follow, so if you have strange preconceived notions, throw them away.”
Behind Ferzen, who speaks in a soft tone as if trying to relieve the tense atmosphere, two horses pull a noble carriage.
To cross, you would have to go through a mountain range, if not high.
… … No, the nobles cleared their doubts, thinking that there must be a thought.
“Do you need time to take a break?”
“Enough.”
“Okay, then we start moving right away.”
Ferzen, who caressing the altar, puts down an antique coffin on the floor, and, in a very respectful manner, raises the body of the former head of the family.
Then he looked at the snow-covered roads he had to go on, and consumed his magical power to stretch out the road made of fire.
Yes, it was literally a road made of fire.
As the road approached their feet, the soldiers and nobles were perplexed, but they were surprised when they felt the warmth of relief rather than the heat before long.
How strange it is to be a fire that can be stepped on.
Puroung!
And a few days ago, the horses, who had already adapted to the scene, laughed at them as if they were pathetic and began to move forward confidently.
The snow that had piled up to the ankles had suddenly turned into white water vapor, coloring the surroundings like fog.
“… … Count, don’t you ride a horse?”
If you have the confidence to drive a carriage, Ferzen himself would be better off riding a horse rather than walking.
Especially if you’re a wizard, you probably lack a lot in terms of physical strength.
“For what?”
However, Ferzen’s reply back was not so simple.
“It’s enough for me to look up at my face.”
“Yes?”
“Those who follow don’t need to look up at their backs.”
“… … ”
“Branch.”
Ferzen takes a step.
At the same time, those who were drawn to the words he uttered casually began to follow him one by one.
‘… … I also thought I would send my son.’
Some nobles laughed bitterly as they looked at the successors of their son’s age who participated on behalf of their father.
Now, it is difficult and difficult to hold on to as an old body——The figure of young people who embraced pure longing like the shining stars in the night sky was beautiful.

The starting point is North.
And the destination is Lobelium!
