Confession and Apocalypse (2)
Gain didn’t cry.
I didn’t feel any pain or shiver in my neck.
“Because my dad hit me in the first place? Actually, I have a lot of memory. I was too young.”
“·················ogue.”
“And my dad only beat me and my sister. One day, the two of them taught me the wrong way, and I was just trying to figure it out. But the funny thing is, my sister was only 12 years old at the time. I am eleven years old here. 5th grade in elementary school.”
Shoot aaa… Over the waves that were constantly walking, her voice was clearly audible.
We just listened to our friends without saying a word.
It was the time when the sun had gone dark over the horizon.
The colors of Nam Bo-ra gradually spread in the sky, and Haenim was busy organizing the hem of his long robe.
Every time she paused her sentence, the sound of laughter and chatter could be heard from another tent in the distance.
“······ha ha ha! You’re in charge of washing the dishes tomorrow!”
“why······!”
Just like right now.
“Isn’t this kind of talkative?”
“no. Could it be? No, it’s not a good story…”
I hurriedly came up with an answer, but added hesitantly, wondering if this might mean something else.

Of course, Ga-in knew exactly what I meant.
She giggled as she looked at me, and calmly glanced at the Crown Prince and Sir John.
And spoke to me again.
“Isn’t that all you know? Well, even if you don’t know the little things.”
“·················ogue.”
“Isn’t it many times more disturbing to hear a human voice than to read it in writing? I think you don’t want to hear it.”
“······· I would like to hear directly from Ga-in.”
I just parted my lips and answered. It was a kind of courage.
I don’t know if I would dare to use the word courage, but it took a lot of determination to say it anyway.
I already knew what her past days were.
She was aware of what story she had and how she lived and lived.
This is because ＜I Resigned and a Princess from Another World> was a novel that faithfully showed the past and present of the main character, Ham Ga-in.
Writer Brigitte did not portray her ‘previous life’ lightly, but, conversely, vividly portrayed the process in which the experience changed or collided with the people around her.

Only through Cedric Lister and Jesse Penetian.
“Is this not a good thing?”
But, after all, writing is just writing. A depiction of a third party who has never borrowed the person’s mouth.
“no. Could it be?”
Ga-in smiled as he returned the answer I had given.
Then I looked at the dark sea again.
“···········Papa died very absurdly. If you just look at the news, you hear that a family who suffered from domestic violence couldn’t bear it and killed the gangster, right? But we never had a chance to do that.”
“·················ogue.”
“I just died in a car accident while jaywalking. I just died on the spot, without a will or anything like that. Rather, I thought that the driver was pitiful.”
‘Somehow, I got caught by such a human being unlucky.’ Such whispers continued.
I was fed up and laughed.
I thought about holding her hand for a moment, then decided not to.
He even thought about releasing the ether instead, but he didn’t.
“Well, it’s obvious after that. I thought the three of us would get along well somehow, but my mother became the new villain. We grow up being beaten by our mother again. My unnie loses all her salaries to her mother who works part-time, and in the meantime, I endure with all my body to make it less suitable for me.”
“·················ogue.”
I just decided to just sit by my side. Just like the other paladins who only listened intently.
“Then my mother ran away a few years later. I raked up the money I didn’t have and cut off contact. I thought our house was torn apart, but it seemed that we had something to pack and carry. Looking back, it’s amazing.”
“Even though the world we live in is different, there are some similarities.”
Sir John replied lightly. But the meaning of those words was heavy.
Ga-in made eye contact with him and chuckled.
“So. Well, that’s the thing. It’s fairly common, but if you look hard enough, you’ll find it surprisingly not around.”
“Who is your sister?”
the father asked quietly. For the first time, Ga-in had a painful expression on her face.
Even though I quickly got over it.
“My sister got married to Germany. When I was 25, I met a really good brother-in-law. It means that you married a foreigner and went abroad.”
“·················ogue.”
Fondant, I suddenly retrieved a piece of the memory of the Great Beast Subjugation.
‘Why is your sister here? If you get married like that, you should live happily ever after, what are you doing here!’
‘go. It’s dangerous, so go to your brother-in-law! hurry!’
A face mixed with deep affection and deep sadness like a paint bucket.
Seeing her sister’s welcome, she looked distressed.
A spring day when we were not yet friends.
“Have you not seen it since then?”
“yes. My sister never came to Korea again. Even though you love me so much, it’s hard to see your face now. I’m sorry for reminding you of the past.”
“·················ogue.”
“But now that I understand it, I can’t say anything. Until I graduated from that university, my older sister was by my side as an adult and as a parent. I was always the father. Now, I want to go out in search of my own happiness, but how am I supposed to catch my unnie?”
“·················ogue.”
“There must be many memories of hardship because of me. Just looking at our neighborhood would make your teeth tremble… How can I tell him to come over to play?”
‘Shut up.’ Ga-in finally made a noise of snoring.
When I hurriedly took out the handkerchief, the handkerchiefs of the two men had already arrived in front of her.
This is the first time I’ve seen this, so I was surprised.
She teased the three of us playfully and raised the corners of her lips.
“What are you doing? I thought you were a priest.”
That joke made me laugh too.
She took all three handkerchiefs, blew her nose and wiped away her tears.
The last sheet was soaked in clean water and washed.
I think I gained courage by that courageous look.
“······· Actually, my mother is ill.”
Seeing such a story spilled over.
Everyone’s eyes turned to me. I spoke timidly.
“’Early onset Alzheimer’s dementia’. That’s why you don’t recognize me and other family members.”
“Ugh······.”
Gain’s eyes widened.
Prince Sedric looked a bit startled, and Sir John looked closely at me.
I smiled softly and shook my head.
“it’s okay. It’s been a long time actually. My mother is also holding up well for a long time. Sometimes it gets better so we don’t know, and we visit together regularly.”
“·················ogue.”
“You have always been mentally weak. My father was a firefighter—oh, putting out fires and saving lives. It seems that my mother was worried every day that her father would go wrong. He suffered from severe depression and was constantly receiving treatment.”
‘Tadak, tadak.’ The bonfire at his feet burned with a peaceful sound.
I stared at her heart and thought of my mother’s face. A mother when she was healthy.
Now it’s a little fuzzy. Does your brother remember you more clearly?
“After my father died at the scene of the fire, my mother became very depressed. My aunt, who is a nurse, said that we should get a thorough examination first. I think the diagnosis was pretty quick.”
“When was that?”
“Well. My father passed away when I was ten, so I think it was probably when I was twelve. It was before I wore a uniform.”
“Gosh. too young what should we do.”
Ga-in put his hand on the back of my hand.
It wasn’t completely covered, but it was overflowingly cozy.
I smiled cautiously and poked my tail.
“therefore······. So I thought there was no way my older brother, who was a writer, would have written their story.”
“·················ogue.”
“I heard that Prince Jesse’s mother, King Christaner Penetian, also suffered from a similar illness.”
“ah.”
“If hyung wrote a story like this, it would be too cruel to me and Eunseo. He likes your story the most in the world… I named the prince after my older brother, and I created someone after my mother’s situation.”
“Oh my gosh······. That’s it. It crosses the line.”
Ga-in’s face grew serious at the same time. The father was speechless the whole time.
I looked carefully at my complexion to see if there was any pain, but he looked at me in reverse and remained silent the whole time.
I thought I could interpret this guy’s expression quite well these days.
The man felt distant again like a lie. I couldn’t figure it out at all.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
Dark talk like this must be uncomfortable. Of course it will.
And how many people would welcome the fact that they were the characters in the novel with open arms?
But a friend called me reminded me of that and sat down.
“Great.”
I awkwardly averted my gaze.
It will take some time for the two of you to feel comfortable even a little. maybe a very long time.
-Whee
-Stick, squat, slap…
Again, only the sound of the sea rang in our ears.
I dug up the sand with Ga-in and played meaningless hands for a while.
“I was actually the one who got the proposal.”
tuk. Such a confession flew by out of nowhere.
We were so shocked that we looked at each other blankly.
At the same time, he slowly turned his head.
Sir John’s white hair was fluttering like fine smoke in the night breeze. Whoops woo…
“Excuse me, but what did you say?”
Did we hear it wrong? Will it be like that too?
“Josephina first talked about marriage. He said he didn’t want to leave me alone.”
“Huh!”
“Wow, great event. Persevere! Call Marquis François! A wren is issued!”
“Mr. Gain! calm down!”
I barely managed to hold our protagonist waking up.
The grayish northern sand splattered in all directions.
Even the prince looked at his master with his slightly widened eyes.
Herit’s father only showed a smile that seemed to have been brushed by the breath of God. Wow······.
“Of course I refused.”
“Oh my, why? Why did you do that! You said you were going to do it anyway, but you refused to do anything!”
Ga-in slapped him on the forearm and was delighted.
Sir John lowered his eyebrows in embarrassment.
“Well, I was a wanderer, an orphan, and I didn’t have a stable job.”
“No, honestly, if you’re as good-looking as Sam, you can earn money and live with him, right? Are you doing this because you want to hear me talk about it now? This is why handsome men are the problem—”
“Besides, I was about four years older.”
“crazy!”
“Wow, I heard that the four-year age difference doesn’t even look good!”
Ga-in and I raised our voices with great excitement.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and my heart raced.
This is private life. A real full-fledged Sir John’s private life!
“Then what did Josephina say? I mean, wouldn’t it be better to marry someone who is younger than you?”
“How did you know?”
The master looked at the disciple with pure astonished eyes.
After that, there was silence for about two seconds.
“Oh, what!? You completely fell in love while roasting sesame seeds!”
The black sandy beach soon turned into a crucible of enthusiasm.
December 31st was an unforgettable day.
*
crumble, crumble.
“Oh, dear, dear….”
deep dawn. I woke up Booth.
I slept in an uncomfortable position and my back was very sore.
The scenery of the tent house with the brazier was unfamiliar.
It wasn’t until I closed my eyes a few times that I remembered that I had crawled in here after nodding on the beach.
“I told you to wake me up just before sunrise… big.”
He must have slept deeply, and his neck was locked in the meantime.
The moment I stutter and wake up in search of a place—
“The preparations are over. From now on, his choices will determine.”
Through the thick tent, a familiar roar could be heard.
It was the shadow of an old woman.
