Soul Rest (1)
This was extremely rare.
Sitting on the same sofa didn’t make me goosebumps or nervous like I used to, but anyway.
“······what?”
“How are you, my lord? You said you were going to sleep in the morning.”
“Nothing has changed.”
“·················ogue.”
“He said he would wake up on his own.”
Ga-in nodded her head broadly, leaned her back on the backrest, and stretched her legs out.
Since it was a sudden visit, there was only one cup of tea and one plate of refreshments each.
Naturally, he reached out and bit a cookie.
Although she murmured without asking for permission, Cedric didn’t mind (or, to be precise, indifferent).
David couldn’t see where he had gone, but he was told he was very busy managing the inside and outside of the lord’s castle.
I heard that he directly manages the accommodations of the royal family and commanders, and checks all the food provided.
-Ododog, crunchy…
Somehow it didn’t taste good.

Occasionally, only the noise outside the window passed peacefully between them.
‘Kurreung….’ From afar, the sound of footsteps was heard. It didn’t look like an exhibition.
“Noe-san, no. Morhan will be fine.”
“·················ogue.”
gulp. Kristel, who swallowed an unknown cookie, said abruptly.
It was an unkind sentence with no context or detailed explanation, but Sedric quickly understood her meaning.
The priest, who was called the ‘abbot’ of Yeriho, passed out on the way out of the black market, and has not been able to find consciousness until now.
I was told last night that I had a sudden seizure and hyperventilation.
With the same grace as His Majesty’s Hahae, she received the pulse of the imperial medical staff.
After that, the highest healing priests and care workers took care of Morhan from time to time.
The priest was a major party to this case and at the same time an ‘informer’ who had intelligence about the surrounding area.
For the Lister Empire, it was advantageous to keep it alive by any means possible.
From a strategic point of view, that’s what it sounds like.
“It seems that the psychological impact is huge. The state of the soul is unstable, and as a result, the quality of sleep seems to be poor. This morning, I barely managed to catch my breathlessness.”
“·················ogue.”
“But fortunately, I have the will to live. So they said it would be fine.”
‘The healing priest has spoken.’ Cain added that and looked back at the man.
Soon, dazed eyes met. The two were still sitting far apart.
But now, one side never left the room or found another chair.
“Are you okay? Mr. Morhan deserves to be happy. He didn’t seem to think so.”
“What do you want to say?”
The Crown Prince closed the book he was reading and asked. Cain silently observed the cover.
I thought it was just boring papers or plays…
‘＜Pure Ether: The Principles Governing the Body and Mind of a Priest>’.
I don’t know where I got it, but a very worn-out book cover caught my eye.
I didn’t know maybe I found it here in the library.
The sentence he was about to say sank down, then rose with more power.
When did she hesitate to speak in front of the prince?
“Let’s think about it, too.”
“·················ogue.”
‘we’. There was only one case where two men and women were intertwined with the word.
When they have to talk as Jesse’s ‘mate’.
“If the palace lord tells you to go back to your house later, you can’t force it. That’s not even possible.”
“·················ogue.”
Cedric remained silent.
The twinkling blue-grey eyes had an unknown power.
The man often felt an irresistible brilliance in her. Just like right now.
“Then if we get it wrong, we’ll both end up like the warlock Noel. It’s going to be very messy and ugly. You can’t be considerate of your friends, but if you force yourself to do it, it becomes the truth.”
“·················ogue.”
“It hurts a lot. So that it hurts as I go through life and death like that.”
“·················ogue.”
The silence flowed long like the river Winite.
There was no answer from the prince, but Cain knew what he was thinking.
No, to be precise, I knew how ‘boiling’ the man was right now.
Because I could clearly feel the ether spreading out.
And that’s not anger against me.
“It’s going to be really good for other people to see there. Don’t you like that?”
“·················ogue.”
“I’m disgusted too.”
A sigh flowed out. Their eyes slowly turned towards the bedroom door.
The two vessels were full of stormy seas and raging active volcanoes.

On the other hand, the ether flowing from there was very calm and peaceful.
It was the perfect energy to immerse themselves in their thoughts.

Or, it was the perfect warmth to forget everything for a while and leave your body in a good mood.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
An unpleasant silence passed by caressing the two of them.
‘What is it, cloth? Like the hem of the robe?’
‘ah······.’
-dump!
But yesterday, when the king fell, there was a real uproar.
‘Oh! lord!’
– Hey!
‘Oh my God! Hurry up and call the healing priest!’
– Whoa!
The audience flipped over, and the wizards were astonished to pass out.
‘Oh, oh, oh!’ The gods began to cry restlessly as if a disaster had come.
Soon, the surroundings became very noisy.
Teacher Johan approached faster than anyone else, grabbed the wrist of the fallen priest, and said in a hoarse voice, ‘It’s not poison.’ You said such a scary thing!
Seeing his pale, tired cheeks, he felt the blood evaporate from his body.
Fatigue was accumulating. Everyone was similar, so it was predictable, but the fainting was too sudden to be attributed to it.
The feel of the hand he was holding until the very end was still vivid.
Above all, the expression on the face that the king showed just before he collapsed…
“Yesterday, when the king passed out.”
“·················ogue.”
“He looked a bit scared. It passed really quickly, so I’m not sure, but the ether was also released for a short time. Did you see it too?”
“okay.”
Eh? Ga-in’s eyes widened at the immediate answer.
I was just wondering if I had seen it wrong, but now that I see, the prince said that he saw the same thing.
Had I known this would be the case, I would have asked earlier. Excited voice twisted!
“Well then, was it really because of that black piece of cloth? Didn’t Marquis François collect it after all? Even if you heard it yesterday and today,”
-there’s nothing.
Startle. The answer to the question came from outside the door.
The two immediately got up from their seats and bowed down.
“His Majesty Hanan!”
“Are you here?”
– Sit down and listen. I did not come to you to receive an example.
Hanan Lumayyan, who borrowed Isabelle’s body, spoke politely.
There was a solemn dignity in his bronze eyes and voice.
While listening to the old tombs, Ga-in found an object in her hand and opened her mouth.
that! That stinky thing!
“Isn’t that a piece of cloth? Did your Majesty look into it yourself?”
-It is true. This body took a close look. Even wizards and falcons don’t know why, and even the priests just shake their heads, so what’s the difference?
“Then what about the gods?”
– The Heroic Spirit is too pure to even cover itself. What more can you ask of a being who knows cloth as fallen leaves? The young emperor had more to talk about.
‘ttt.’ The ancient king came to them with a click of his tongue.
Hanan’s gait and attitude were very different from Isabelle’s.
It wasn’t necessarily the color of the eyes or the voice, but it was enough to tell the two apart easily from a distance.
She snorted when she found the book Cedric was reading.
– This guy, who can’t read cesarean studies all day, has been studying the priesthood since the 100th week.
“·················ogue.”
– At my time. If the paladin carried the priest and made him happy day and night, there would be no etheric worries until he ran out of breath. There was no need for such a study.
Wow, what a really stupid remark! Your Majesty, an old man!
“Your Majesty, don’t say things like that! So did you find out anything?”
-Didn’t you tell me a while ago?
“·················ogue.”
-Nothing, no reaction. This is just an odd piece of cloth.
‘tuk’. Hanan laid down a black cloth on the table.
It was a piece that was nothing special except for the clear bite marks that Loffy had bitten.
Cain quickly picked it up and wrote arrogance.
I even cleaned the laundry and now it just looks really normal.
However.
“But…but, it’s the loot that Lofi brought by risking a run into the burning mansion.”
– I heard that.
“I don’t know what was going on, but he had a reason to judge that, so he probably took it instead of spitting it out right away. And as soon as the king saw this, he lost his mind with a face in terror. If so, this is definitely…”
She clenched her teeth and looked up at her partner.
The sky outside was still clear, but a dark sunset was falling in the prince’s eyes.
“It must be Berner Penetian’s.”
A creepy low voice came out.
Hannah looked around the bedroom and sighed.

I know it’s a dream, but I couldn’t move.
“Are you okay!?”
No, my body was moving. Even in my dreams, I spoke well.
But I didn’t move and speak as I wanted.
Suddenly, a man in an old robe stood in front of him.
This was the shrine located at the end of the labyrinth, the heart of the temple on the border.
A sacred space with no injuries. Exactly the same as back then.
「Shhh
Everything was going according to the memory of ‘that day’.
I knew all too well what was going to happen here.
I felt nauseous from the rush of fear, and my hands and feet trembled.
It’s strange, but it’s always been like this. really every time.
Imprisoned in the prince’s body, the only thing I could do was slap my fists in all directions.
I couldn’t tell if it was a wall or what, but somehow I had to break it down to give a warning.
Even if your hands are crushed like this.
Soon our eyes met.
Light purple hair engraved like a tattoo in his brain, and sharp chocolate eyes were visible.
“How come this… You cannot use healing powers here. First of all, hemostatic drugs—”
‘hey! Run away, that’s a crazy bastard! Don’t look back, just run into the labyrinth!’
-bang! bang! Quang! Quang!
I screamed for my throat to burst.
They were kicking towards the darkness around them, and they even started rioting like crazy.
I had to get this body to run no matter what. Absolutely had to do that.
However, under the nose, the scene of that time was being reproduced.
without a single error.
-Soo-wook!
He pulled out the dagger that Berner Fenetian had stuck in his stomach.
At the same time, bright red blood splattered everywhere. I forgot to breathe and ran forward.
However, it was not possible to change the established flow.
‘Please run away!’
– Whik!
– Whoop!
“aaah!”
scream. It was a scream that felt far away as if it was not mine.
I bit my bloody lips and opened my eyes tight. Let’s be calm, be calm.
This is not the end. Besides, I don’t feel any pain. This is just a dream.
It’s been a nightmare I’ve had so far.
-Soo-wook!
“Huh!”
There’s still a chance.
– Wheeik!
– Kagang!
The blade that was pulled out of the prince’s body flew in again, and I succeeded in miraculous defense.
Instinctively, he raised a dagger and slashed it. This was also part of the memory.
Now you just have to disappear like this.
“Heh, ha, uh…”
“Come on······. Come on!”
where he can’t find me.
“Do you not want to be free? Don’t you want to get rid of this kind of bridle?”
“Ugh, yep…..”
If necessary, even under the protection of the guardian spirit of the labyrinth or General Rupert.
“It’s all over.”
Finding Cedric is probably the fastest.
In my last dream, I was lucky enough to meet Ga-in first.
“You will want to finish it all.”
“Ugh. Cologne! What the hell…”
Then the nightmare ends.
Although the prince’s legs were running in a different direction than I wanted, it will soon be over anyway.
The dream will come to an end somehow. Blood and fear, panic and death will also be soon forgotten.
“Hey, cool!”
Because the unconscious was always clouded around this time.
– Sarrr!
‘······uh?’
But both eyes grew as if they were about to fall. This was an unexpected development.
The man in question was magically hiding in front of his nose.
At the same time, a feeling of falling as if the floor was falling apart ran down my spine.
It was the reality of despair.
I couldn’t believe it.
“I won’t make it like that.”
‘No, no, no…’
It was like an invisible person. I shook my head like a madman, denying reality.
Then the prince’s vision began to shake relentlessly as if an earthquake had occurred.
This is not, no!
“Sparkle!”
– Whoop!
“aaah!”
I screamed and jumped up. I could feel a startled look right next to me.
“The king?”
– Wheeik!
There was nothing more to think or do.
He immediately grabbed the object on the side table, pulled him by the neck and threw him onto the bed. Whoops!
Then, he quickly suppressed the bastard from moving, and aimed at the neck pole from above.
as fast as I can get it.

Only by the instinct to live.
“Ugh! Heh heh… Ugh······. Cologne….”
“It’s okay, don’t hesitate. You can stab it.”
And at his words, I woke up in a flash.
At that moment, the foggy eyes cleared and all directions were clearly visible.
“Ugh······. Cool… Sir John?”
What just happened?
What memory did I see…?
