Lucia Erenion.

The second High Elf of the current generation to be ruled by the World Tree in nearly 100 years, and the one who will become the leader of the Elves following Fraun.

Due to the combination of Fraun’s love for her younger brother and her precious status, she lived with countless expectations.

As everyone’s idol, and as Erenion, who will one day lead them in place of that Fraun.

Lucia’s talent lived up to the expectations.

Charisma that dominates the elves. Ilshin’s might is worthy of that. A brilliant mind that remembers the names and characteristics of all the elves under its command.

When it comes to her talent as a leader, she was more than just Fraun.

… however,

-sister. I can’t see well… .

-what… !!!?

As she began to go blind, Lucia’s life gradually fell into darkness.

As the world tree’s demonic energy erosion progresses, Lucia, who receives its protection, also begins to be eroded by demonic energy.

It was five years after the demon king’s army materialized that her eyesight completely disappeared.

-Lucia, I’m sorry… .

-are you okay. Because I practiced, I can act without being caught.

-Tsk, tsk tsk.

Lucia became completely blind at the age of thirty-eight, barely an adult by elf standards.

But she couldn’t be sad.

The leader who inherited Erenion’s protection, the High Elf, is blind. If the elves found out about this, despair would cover the forest.

That’s why she pretended she could see for the past five years.

Using ‘echolocation’, which detects surrounding landmarks through the sounds returned after clicking one’s tongue as a habit. With a nonchalant expression.

… It was very difficult for Lucia, who had just become an adult and had been treated like a princess her entire life.

Even though it was hard, he couldn’t even show it, and despite his struggles, the battle situation against the Demon King’s army was getting worse by the minute.

In the dark, with no future in sight. Lucia’s emotions gradually faded into colorlessness.

—however.

Brilliant hope came to Lucia and the elves.

-Lucia? Are there any other patients besides here?

‘What are you saying all of a sudden? What can he do? .’

One day, a party from the Kingdom of Hohenstein suddenly came, identifying themselves as a warrior party.

When one of them, a thin and small man, started cooking, the hopeless situation took a major turn.

-Roaring.

‘… amazing.’

The elves who were walking between life and death were completely recovered with just one bowl of food.

In the meantime, the elves sent an irrational complaint, asking why they didn’t come earlier…

​

He’s not even angry. I just cook with gentle compassion.

It was a very impressive sight.

‘Since other elves hate humans, I should help them as well.’

Because she is a warrior. No, I pledged to help the warrior with all my might.

A milestone has been set for the first time in a long time in her life, where she felt no emotion and was just living because she could not die.

And, with Lucia’s full support, Sihyeon performed miracles to his heart’s content.

Rescue the kidnapped male elves and serve them warm food. It soothed their broken hearts.

Thanks to this, the elves had a chance to make a comeback despite the loss of numerous personnel.

And in the end, even the magical energy erosion of her mother, the god of the elves and the world tree, was completely cured as if it had been washed away.

Sihyeon became a savior who deserves infinite gratitude at the tribal level.

‘Savior. A very amazing, compassionate, wonderful, and kind person. … But what about us?’

… However, Lucia felt guilty toward Sihyeon.

Her secret that she has kept hidden all this time. Being blind is a very fatal flaw for a warrior.

But didn’t my sister manipulate the hero’s group while hiding the fact that the hero’s identity was Blind Lucia?

Even if there were ten mouths, there was nothing to say.

Even if they didn’t know that they were heroes, the two sisters ended up deceiving the warriors.

but. Sihyeon accepted their lies without any hesitation.

-It’s noisy here, right? Hehehe.

-… By any chance, warrior.

-Shh. It’s still a secret.

‘… In a situation where it is natural to be angry, please consider our situation instead.’

During the elf recapture war. The warrior gently held her hand as she hesitated, unable to use echolocation due to the surrounding noise.

How warmly those gentle touches and gentle voice resonated in her anxious heart in the darkness.

-also. Lucia was a warrior.

-No way… .

-Everyone calm down. This is something I just need to go back and talk to Fraun about.

A truth that even she didn’t know. He even knew right away that Lucia was the third hero.

But rather than asking why I lied about it even though I knew that, I told him that there must be a reason and that I should talk to Fraun about it.

It was natural that Lucia had feelings for him as more than a savior.

So much so that he even showed off his bright smile in front of people, something he hadn’t been able to do for several years.

———And now, I’m chewing the pancake that Sihyeon tore into pieces.

Her heart was very excited.

“Now, Lucia. Aang~.”

“… … Aang.”

-Help. Mumbling.

Unlike her expressionless expression, Lucia’s heart is very excited.

This wasn’t just because of the combination of crunchy, savory and delicious chive pancakes and sour soy sauce with thinly sliced Cheongyang peppers and onions.

Because soon my blind eyes will come back.

… Because you will be able to see the Savior with your own eyes.

‘How did you come to be… Since you have that kind of ability, you must have an ugly appearance. hmm. Actually, that might be good.’

As Lucia continued to purse her lips, various thoughts passed through her mind.

From the face of an ugly man with free-spirited eyes, nose, and mouth, to the innocent face of an innocent child.

But the happy imagination did not last long.

———Because light slowly began to shine through tightly closed eyelids.

“… … … .”

‘This… .’

-gulp.

A light that was once familiar but has now become unfamiliar.

​

I was startled and swallowed the contents of my mouth, and my vision immediately brightened.

In an instant she realized what that meant: her eyesight had returned.

-Badulbadeul.

‘… … Can I really open my eyes? The Savior may be turning his eyes to me. Then I don’t think I can bear it.’

However, when her blind eyes returned, Lucia became frightened and trembled.

Paradoxically, the darkness of not being able to see anything was also her defense mechanism, but now she had to face Sihyeon without that.

Because of the thought, ‘What if my savior hates me?’, I didn’t even want to hear even a millimeter of fluttering eyelids.

Sihyeon quickly noticed her trembling.

“Umm… Lucia. Has your eyesight returned?”

“… … … .”

-Nod.

“Hehe. Then slowly open your eyes. It might be dazzling, so take your time.”

Sihyeon’s voice, which became much softer, tickled Lucia’s eardrums. It was a kind voice that seemed to embrace anxiety.

Because of this, she was scared but gained courage.

The courage to take a step out of the darkness. Have the courage to face your savior.

Her fluttering eyelids slowly lifted up…

And then, several figures passed by around her field of vision.

-Swipe.

“… Lou, Lucia. You, your eyes… … !!!”

“What is it? Was he blind? … A blind warrior, even though I say it, he is really different.”

“It looks like you recovered thanks to the angel, so isn’t that a good thing!!! … It’s a bit shameful that Fraun Erenion has kept the hero’s existence hidden until now.”

Her older sister, Fraun, greets her with a grimace on her face that is several times more gaunt than she remembers.

Nearby, a pink-haired human woman was rolling her eyes, and a brown-haired human knight was smiling kindly and then looking at his older sister with confusion.

… … and,

“Proun must have had his own reasons. Right, Fraun?”

“Well, uh… … Ugh. Black. yes… … … .”

“Snap! Don’t cry! Anyway, let’s resolve this over a glass of makgeolli or something. Then where… .”

“Lucia, can you see clearly?”

‘That’s it, Savior… … ?’

Among them, the savior sits on an unusually low chair and looks at her. revelation.

Lucia’s mouth slowly opened.

“… … yes. So much.”

‘More than I thought, much… .’

Sihyeon looked completely different from what she imagined.

She was much smaller and thinner than I thought. By causing such a miracle.

My eyes were more sexy than I thought. It was amazing that such an innocent expression that knew nothing could display such decadence.

Other than that, my hands were smaller than I thought, and the white cooking uniform suited me better than I thought.

… Just as I thought, it looked so noble.

“… … Savior, sir.”

“Lucia. As expected, your eyes are pretty. Looks like a prawn.”

“… … … .”

Lucia is at a loss for words and stares at the savior in front of her.

Sihyeon’s gentle smile was engraved on her retina and heart.

As a benefactor who must repay the favor throughout his life. As their savior recognized by the world tree.

As her first love.

-Thump thump thump thump.

‘Poetry, the heart… … .’

Although she was not even aware of her feelings, Lucia’s heart was pounding and she eagerly showed that she was in love.

My face gets redder and redder as my heart beats so hard that I’m embarrassed to hear the person in front of me. My breathing is getting harder.

—and,

‘for a moment. I cuddled with someone like that all night… go… … ?’

A shock beyond the opening of eyes that had been blinded for five years enveloped Lucia.

That small, cute, handsome and noble savior. Didn’t she cuddle all night?

The scene from last night came back to her mind again.

​

Due to the limitations of echolocation, the new figure, which I remembered only vaguely like a clay doll, was now completely replaced by the image of Sihyeon.

Every time Sihyeon writhed from the cold, she stroked his head. Every time that happened, Sihyeon pressed her body closer to him as if asking for more.

It’s a bonus that he hugged me like he couldn’t win even though he could pull it off with force.

Because of those slender arms, delicate waist, and surprisingly plump thighs. I was able to enjoy it with my whole body, even beyond the clothes.

… … … Everything, including the mysterious life phenomenon that occurs naturally in the morning.

-Whaaaah.

‘Did I feel something like that from that person all night?! Under the World Tree!!?’

“Gu, gu, savior, neim… … .”

Lucia’s face burned red as the memories she had barely forgotten in the morning returned several times more clearly.

“Lucia? What’s wrong? Are you in pain somewhere else? .”

“Oh, no. No.”

‘Boo, it’s definitely because of this food. The reason why my body feels so hot and why I have sinister thoughts. It’s definitely because of this food.’

… For an elf who had just become an adult when she woke up to her first love, it was an unrefreshing scene in many ways.

* * * * * *

And, that night.

A journey in the forest of the World Tree.

The ending is a vision,

“Why did you call me alone… … … Ph, f, f, prawn!!? Lucia!!!?”

‘Why on earth are they like this!!!? This is not a gay game!!!!!!’

———It struck.
