213─Reunion
The time of our affectionate reunion has passed.
Ferzen and Uriel dressed up again and slowly left the basement, as if nothing had happened.
Then, outside, as if a long time had passed, the sunny sky turned dark as if it were a lie, creating a cloudy weather that looked like it was going to rain soon.
It certainly doesn’t feel like a long time has passed.
However, because both of them were focused on sharing each other’s warmth, they did not fully trust the sense of time conveyed by their respective bodies.
Yuriel, in particular, wondered what it would have been like if some kind of force had come into play and time had passed quickly……
She had such thoughts without realizing it.
After the Elmark Empire’s army had already swept through this place, it captured the Ernes Empire.
If tens or hundreds of years have passed since then.
‘How good would it be…? … ‘
Of course, this is a selfish idea.
Euphemia is also carrying his child.
Marquis Jeremiah, who can be said to be his only blood relative.
It means that the imperial family that has been loyal to generations from generation to generation does not exist.
Of course, if such a world suddenly appeared before our eyes, even Fersen would fall into a sadness that he could not escape.
But since she was the only one who could support Fersen, Uriel secretly longed for that delusion.
As the distance gets closer.
The deeper your relationship with him becomes.
In proportion to the growing love, the extremely obscene desire for exclusiveness also grew in size.
Quuk!
This is the part of my inner self that I never want to show to him.
And soon, as if breaking that selfish delusion, the Ernes Empire’s position is revealed and the voices of the soldiers are heard.
Ferzen and Yuriel walked away, each sighing slightly with different meanings.
* * * * *
Sureuk.
Yuriel straightened her back as she tidied up her hut where she would stay for the day.
When will he arrive here next?
Shoo!
You can hear the sound of rain falling outside.
Seeing as the rain isn’t that thick, I wonder if it’s winter rain that will pour down for quite a long time.
Kirik.
Yuriel, who had been quietly alone in his thoughts, suddenly turned his head when he heard a familiar noise coming from behind.
“…… “
“…… “
Then, Lizzy is seen walking inside, carrying her own body and leading a wheelchair, without using even an umbrella.
Dirt and blood flowing from unkempt, scattered hair.
Perhaps because her musty moisture had settled down, her faint odor came from her even more strongly.
“…… What’s happen.”
“I really want to tell you that I’m sorry…… “
“…… “
Yuriel closed her eyes for a moment as she faced the purple eyes of Lizzy, who looked up at her with such a haggard complexion that she felt as if she would collapse if she were to be touched.
When she wants to apologize, half of it is sincere and half of it is because she wants to feel sorry for herself.
She wanted to say sorry to herself for being sold out to Fersen while her family was expanding its power.
At the same time, she said that the sight of her getting along well with Fersen was nothing more than an act on her part.
You probably want to catch both of those rabbits.
…… If only she could do anything for Lizzy in front of her.
It would be right to match it.
Just knowing that there is someone with whom she can share the pain she experienced from Fersen will be a small consolation to Lizzy, who is standing on the edge of a cliff.
But Uriel could not respond to Lizzy’s earnest wish.
Destroy a family.
Killing a family.
My love for the man who persecuted a woman was not intentional, but voluntary.
For this reason, Uriel did not want the feelings she had for Fersen to be interpreted in a distorted way by even one person.
Even if it is cruel violence to Lizzy.
“Lizzy.”
After making up her mind and making a decision, Uriel opened her eyes, faced Lizzy, and opened her mouth.
“It’s okay if you don’t apologize to me.”
“Ha, but…” … “
“I wasn’t sold to him, and I don’t live in misery.”
“Hey, here!”
“…… “
“Look, because there are no eyes to see…… “
Her hands holding on to the armrests of her wheelchair were trembling pitifully.
The distorted face is about to burst into tears at any moment.
Her desperate struggle to somehow ignore the fact that came out of her own mouth that she most hated to hear.
However, because her hesitation had already been pushed to a corner of her mind, Uriel……
“Lizzy. “I love him.”
To one woman, she said the cruelest words in the world.
“What a joke…… “
“…… “
“Huh, okay…… ! A lie, a lie…… “
“…… “
“My sister…… You know what kind of person that person is…… “
“…… “
“My, my family…” … My family…… And he is the one who completely trampled my life for no reason——!”
“Is that why I have to give up my happiness?”
“Ah…… “
“You’re not angry that I love him even though I know that, but you can sympathize with her situation right now…” … “Maybe you want me to be marred by the same misfortune as you.”
“Well, that kind of thing…” … “
“You need someone who can sympathize with your situation, so you are the one who wants me to be unhappy too…… “Have you ever thought of it as cruel and selfish?”

“Oh, no…” … Ah…… “
No, I wanted to say it.
Every single word of Yuri El struck her to the point that it was so painful.
Lizzy was completely speechless.
In fact, she said that she was being persecuted by Fersen just as much as she was.
Like stray cats rummaging through a trash can and licking each other’s wounds.
Because I just wanted to receive a little comfort and comfort.
But can we call it excessive greed?
No, I can’t do it.
Just like back then, as her most reliable older sister.
Couldn’t she share a piece of her affection?
“Why…… “
“…… “
“Why…… !”
He can love and cherish others so much, but has he done such a thing to himself and his family?
“Why…… !”
Is that kind of person so loved?
“Ugh…… !”
Like a person left alone in the world, Lizzy cries freely, pouring out her tears.
And looking at Lizzy’s pitiful appearance, Uriel could not say anything.
Her Iroso befits her villain, her own husband……
Would she have become a wicked wife?
Yuri El turned her head and smiled bitterly.
* * * * *
“…… “
How much of a break has it been?
Of course, this is nothing more than a process of preparing for each other again.
Looking at the soldiers who had regained some vitality after eating their fill of the supplied meat, Fersen threw away the tobacco he was smoking on the wet floor and held up his umbrella.
And then, in order to drive away the darkness of the night that is creeping in, I walk using the flames of the elemental wizards as a guide, which brighten the surroundings perhaps even brighter than the sun – and which do not go out even in the rain.
When he entered his hut, he found that it was not an empty cot……
“Oh, it’s been a while…… This is it…… “
I was able to see Laura sitting quietly, welcoming me.
“Other people may have seen you enter here, but isn’t this a very thoughtless action?”
“Yes, people’s eyes…… Chu, avoid enough, avoid…… Come in, come in…… “
What is it?
Laura felt herself stuttering even more than usual and clenched her delicate hands into fists.
Perhaps she didn’t even care about that?
To be honest, I think she is more considerate than Yuri El, who just ran away with a b*tch smell on her face.
No, before that.
Laura was moved to tears at the fact that those were the first words she said to herself after a long time.
Honestly, the person who became his greatest strength on the front line was himself in his previous life.
She even felt sad that Fersen in front of her, who knew nothing of that fact, gave her the feeling that he was treating her so poorly.
“…… “
And Fersen, seeing Laura’s somewhat sulky mood, reminded her of the situation from a moment ago, and she immediately realized what mistake she had made.
“I’m sorry.”
Finch!
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“…… “
“It was hard to come this long way. “Laura.”
With a sudden apology, Fersen, sitting next to her, ran his large hand through her hair and said the kind words she had longed to hear……
Laura quietly lowered her head, her whole body trembling slightly.
I was embarrassed because I felt like my inner thoughts were being read by him.
Because of that, I was worried that she might think of me as a troublesome woman.
‘Women who like their men…… ‘
Do we all live with such complicated emotions that we get sick of ourselves?
But even though it was unfamiliar, she didn’t hate it, so Laura quietly slipped into his arms.
“Lord, the preparations are…… I’ve done everything…… “
“What preparations did you mean?”
Laura lightly snapped her fingers as Fersen patted her back and asked.
Then, borrowing the ability of a shy person living on the first floor of the Underworld, a curtain is spread that blocks all senses except touch.
“…… “
However, Fersen did not feel any discomfort from Laura’s behavior.
Because the sound of her breathing, her fresh body scent, all of it was completely conveyed.
Rather, it was only vaguely realized through her actions that Laura borrowed her shy ability and used it.
“With this…… Well, don’t worry about getting caught…… ?”
Even though it’s the first floor, is being free from the monster’s abilities a change we should like?
If I had to point out the cause of this change, it would be my own unique ability, for which detailed information has not yet been provided.
「3/5」.
When faced with inevitable death, a monster from the underworld is forced to descend without paying any price.
There are now two remaining uses for that deus ex machina-like ability.
And exhausting this will definitely tip the scales towards the negative side.
On the contrary, positive changes unfolded as a result of the reaction.
For Ferzen, only truly strange thoughts were floating around in his mind.
“Ah…… “
Right after that, when I had barely escaped the wave of thoughts.
Fersen smiled bitterly as he saw the pure white rabbit looking up at him, sulking once again.
Even though I was very perceptive, it was quite tiring.
In that respect, why do women complain that all the men they thought were decent men were married?
I felt like I understood the reason a little bit.
