[Side Story] Lizzy Paul Liana Ruerg—Love and Hate
Three years have passed.
Lobelia, now 3 years old, opened her eyes early in the morning and got out of bed.
She then walked to the front of her cabinet without even having time to straighten her disheveled hair. She took the herbal ointment from inside and tiptoed to open her door.
As she toddles down the hallway, her tiny feet stop at her mother, Lizzie’s room.
Click.
Immediately after she opened the door and entered, she saw her mother sitting on the bed and welcoming her with a bright smile.
But the bruises were clearly visible on her face, so even though it was a sight she was already used to, Lobelia was in tears as always.
“Uh, mom…… “
Lobelia took her ointment with her trembling hands and slowly applied it to Lizzy’s face.
Lobelia hated the days when her father, Fersen, was like this every time she slept with her mother, Lizzie, in her own room.
“It’s okay.”
Her mother’s hand brushing her hair was very gentle, but even so, Lobelia’s crying could not be easily alleviated.
Her slender wrist, exposed through her lowered sleeves, had an ugly handprint engraved on it.
“Why does her dad hate her mom…” … ?”
Even though she is only 3 years old, Lobelia is trying to figure out why her father hates her mother rather than the intuitive relationship reasoning.
It is not so much that Lobelia is outstanding, but rather it is evidence that she is in an environment that forces her to mature, which is not suitable for a 3-year-old child.
“…… “
Knowing that it was her mother who always kept her silent in response to these questions of hers and her own, Lobelia snuggled into her Lizzie’s arms.
The smell of her mother wafting in the air when she rubs her small face against her soft breasts.
Lobelia, who had barely calmed down her emotions through that, eventually had breakfast with Lizzy, which her maid brought to her room.
The outbuildings centered around a long corridor gave a clear sense of independence even in a not-so-large mansion, and although Lobelia was preoccupied with her solitude and loneliness, she developed a deep and deep bond with her mother, Lizzie.
Afterwards, Lizzie and Lobelia, who finished their bath happily, went outside to greet the short summer that had come to Ruerg.
This is the time when the bitterly cold waves subside further and vegetation appears sparsely.
She was Lobelia, who was trying to make her own snowman out of the snow that had accumulated in the wide open space near her corridor……
“…… “
When her small feet stepped on the snow field, what caught her eye was a family of snowmen happily placed in the distance – I don’t even know when they were made.
Her footprints have already been completely covered and disappeared, but how could she not know that her sisters who came here made them together, accompanied by their mothers and Fersen.
But Lobelia, who tried to ignore it, smiled brightly at Lizzy, who was sitting in her wheelchair, and began working hard to build her snowman.
Lizzie also used her own body to make her own snowmen with Lobelia, but for some reason, her two completed snowmen looked extremely shabby.
Lobelia doesn’t like it, so she moves her tiny feet and brings a tree branch, and tries to make her arms… But……
Compared to the snowman family located far away, who appear to be a harmonious family, the snowman modeled after himself and his mother appears lonely and isolated.
Crispy!
When the head of the snowman on top of her body fell off due to loss of balance, Lobelia could not stand it and ran to Lizzie, crying.
“Hwaaa!”
A daughter burying her face in her mother’s lap and crying endlessly.
Looking at Lobelia like that, Lizzy’s heart throbbed, but she bit her lip and took her into her arms and patted her delicate back.

The time to determine whether or not a person has a talent for magical power is in the first year of life, when a certain amount of magical power has been established in the body.
And through the verification process, it was confirmed that both Carlea and Linea had the talent for magic ── the qualities of an elemental wizard, so they received very basic training from Uriel and Fersen for a short period of time.
Today too, Carla and Linea, who received the training briefly after dinner, were praised by Fersen for using their magical powers, albeit clumsily, and smiled brightly, stretching out both arms in front of them.
No, it was Carlea who reached out first.
Linea followed suit and held out her arms.
Unlike her mother, Uriel, Linnea had a shy side, so she was not very good at showing affection.
Like this, her older sister Karlea always made her move first, and then she followed suit, revealing her own feelings.
And Ferzen embraces the two daughters in her arms.
“Dad!”
“Yes.”
Carla, who wraps her hands around her neck and kisses her cheek, smiles and lowers her head.
Linea also shyly kissed Fersen’s cheek and carefully grabbed his collar.
After taking his daughters to their respective rooms, Fersen carelessly touched the warmth remaining in his arms.
It is a body that clearly remembers the warmth of Carlea and Linea, but it does not remember the warmth of Lobelia as it is unfamiliar to it.
As I walked through the corridor to get some fresh air, I saw the snowmen we had made together a few days ago in the moonlit snow field.
Could that be Uriel, who for no reason used magic in front of Euphemia, who had no talent for magic?
That immature behavior may be due to jealousy toward Euphemia, who is pregnant with her second child.
Or perhaps she intended to compete as a better mother rather than as a better wife.
And even there, a bunny-shaped snowman made in the image of Laura stands out, and a heartless laugh escapes.
Despite her difficulties, Laura reluctantly helped turn herself into a rabbit because her children liked it.
There was something very endearing about her shy appearance.
Yes.
It’s been quite a while since the children were born.
Ruerg’s mansion was filled with such vivid memories.
“…… “
And Fersen, who was walking like that, suddenly noticed two clumsily made snow people and stopped.
She wasn’t so oblivious that she didn’t notice that this was the snowman that Lobelia and Lizzy had built together……
Fersen had to feel many emotions that were difficult to describe in her words.
Three years had passed, but Lizzy’s poison had not abated, and Lobelia was steadily growing in the twisted direction that Lizzy had hoped for.
It seems that she is full of the ugly emotions she has been imbued with.
Jeobbuk.
Putting aside his thoughts, Fersen walked towards the snow field and took out his gloves.
She then trimmed the head of the snowman that had fallen next to her, placed it on top of her body, and started making a new snowman next to it.

The night deepens.
Before going to sleep with her mother, Lizzie, Lobelia sneaked out and walked through the dark corridors.
She had forgotten for a moment, but she wanted to place the head of the snowman she had made in her own image on her body again.
“…… “
However, because there was a guest who came to the snow field first, Lobelia unknowingly hid her small body behind the pillar and stuck out her head.
Since it was a particularly bright moonlit day, it was not difficult to notice that the man standing next to the snowman she had made with her mother was her father, Fersen.
What on earth are you doing?
Before the question deepens……
Ttogak.
As Fersen disappeared, going back the way she had come, Lobelia toddled out from behind the pillar where she had been hiding and slowly approached the spot.
The head of a snowman modeled after himself had fallen and was resting on top of the body.
A newly created snowman stood next to him.
The one on the right is the mother, Lizzie, so this must be the father, Fersen.

“…… “
Lobelia hated Fersen for always hurting her mother, but on the contrary, she desperately hoped that their relationship would improve.
Her older sisters, Carlea and Linea, and Euphemia and Uriel.
In the meantime, Fersen as her father and her husband seemed very affectionate, and she created a happy family.
Even now, looking at her like this, Lobelia was sure that there must be a clear reason for the bad relationship between the two, but she didn’t know that, so with a depressed expression, she took a few more steps and stood in front of the newly created snowman.
She then stretches out her hands and gives him a hug.
Just as Fersen does not remember the warmth of her Lobelia, Lobelia also does not know the embrace of her father, Fersen.
Is that why?
Obviously, my father’s embrace made of snow was cold, but……
It felt very warm to Lobelia.
