“Really… Tonight is the worst. To meet you even in my dreams… .”

“Oh my, Leasian. When you say that, this mother gets hurt… ?”

“I’m done pretending to be pitiful… Why did you come here?”

Leasian looked around.

An unidentifiable place filled with thick fog everywhere.

This was her dream world.

The woman smiling brightly has blue hair, not light brown hair.

However, the appearance and atmosphere were so similar that it was somehow reminiscent of Rheasian.

Leasian glared at her and opened his mouth.

“What kind of nonsense are you trying to make me feel better this time? I’m sorry, but no, I’m not sorry at all. I don’t care what you say anymore.”

She said to her mother, who was always clinging to her like an evil spirit and tormenting her.

I won’t be bullied by you anymore.

In fact, it was no different from a cry of evil.

If I don’t say that, this nightmare-like moment of being tormented by my mother… Because it seemed like it would never end.

However, this time was a little different.

Saruna seemed a little surprised and blinked her eyes.

“Hmm? Leasian. Are you serious?”

“What?”

“Surprisingly, there is no fear in sight. The fear that was always eating away at you.”

Saruna lightly circled around Rheasian and smoothed his chin.

It wasn’t long before she clapped her hands as if she realized something.

“Ah! Is it because of that Atran child?”

“What does that mean… ”

“That’s right, that’s right. Because you had that child, you could feel at ease. No matter how much sanctuary you have… I never thought it would change so quickly. It’s amazing.”

For a moment, I almost reflexively said “no”, but… .

The girl decided that there was no need to hide her true feelings from the person in front of her.

“… that’s right. Because I have Kamiel, I’m not afraid of you anymore.”

“You told me I should stay away from Camiel.”

There was a time when I believed those words and even put them into practice.

However, it was truly futile.

“One-sided love? no. That guy liked me too. Unlike you… .”

“… … .”

Saruna’s expression suddenly calmed down.

Her face, which was still and still, looked anxious as if something would happen at any moment.

“Leasian.”

“Why.”

“You… Do you really think he loves you? If I really love you, why am I worried about your future with someone else?”

“… I know too.”

Leasian also seemed to know what she was talking about.

“At least that guy is hiding something from me. I already knew.”

“But. I have absolutely no doubt that he loves me. It can’t be like that, but… Even if that sweet voice was whispering a lie.”

No matter how thorny the path that unfolds through the longing for love is.

Even if your whole body is pricked and cut by thorns and you bleed profusely.

A happy smile appeared on Leasian’s face as he gently closed and opened his eyes.

“No matter what he says, I will continue to love him. Because my heart will not change.”

“… … .”

Saruna’s eyes wavered for a moment.

Like ripples on a calm lake.

Her emotions were also moved.

“Okay… . If you do that, I can’t stop you. What right do I, who was like you, have to stop me in the first place? .”

“… What are you planning?”

“Hmm?”

Leasian looked at his mother with eyes full of some unknown wariness.

“You’re leaving so obediently?”

“When are you talking as if I was tormenting you to death?”

“I won’t say no. No way.”

Saruna just smiled without answering.

“It would be better to wake up sooner than that… .”

“What?”

“Your cherished treasure is in danger of being taken away.”

“… … !”

Leasian could not help but be shaken.

He soon asked with sharp eyes.

“Those words… Really?”

“Okay then. Ah, it must be rare to have as much conversation as today… Thanks to you, it was fun. Leasian.”

“Sleep… ”

I was going to ask how to get out of the dream… .

My consciousness was fading away.

It felt like the fog around me was surrounding my body… .

With an unfamiliar feeling of floating, she woke up.

Leasian faced the visit again.

There was no hesitation like last time.

If only for that one person. whenever.

I walked down a hallway filled with darkness.

It was completely dark, so I couldn’t tell what was in front and what was behind.

Leasian was able to walk just fine.

This was possible because she had spent a long time in the dark.

‘however… Where is Camiel’s room?’

Let alone his room, Leasian knew very little about places other than the hallways and his own room.

However, if you follow where your steps lead you, you will be able to meet Kamiel.

I felt an unknown intuition.

That intuition was correct.

‘Camiel?’

As if meeting someone welcome in the vast ocean.

Could this also be some kind of force at work?

Maybe it’s the power of love… … .

Although it was coincidental, it was unfortunate.

Rheasian was glad to see him and increased his walking speed.

Jerk, jerk. Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

“Lady?”

Finally, she stepped into the realm of moonlight and spoke with hidden joy.

“You… What are you doing here?”

He already seemed very weak, so I wanted to protect him… .

Camiel looked pitiful, shivering in the blue of the night.

‘for a moment… .’

Maybe it’s because it hasn’t been that long since it happened.

My vision was very blurry.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at him again and found tears welling up in her eyes.

“… what. Why are you crying?”

“Lady… … .”

Kamiel seemed to be trudging towards her, but then he suddenly hugged her.

Even skinship that would normally be unimaginable in the middle of the night… .

Leasian couldn’t be more excited.

“Woah, what’s going on? No, I said try talking?”

I had no way of knowing whether it was him or my own heart that was shaking.

Rheasian was so embarrassed that he even stuttered his words.

Kamiel, who was so distracted for a while, didn’t seem to know what was awkward.

“Well, there’s a ghost in my room.”

“What, what? Ghost?”

This time, I stutter again.

Although it was true that I was embarrassed, the reason was completely different.

‘What you said… … .’

Leasian’s eyes became cold.

Who dared to break into Kamiel’s room?

She was already thinking about how to kill the intruder so that word of mouth would spread that she had done well.

However, that is for later.

For now, I decided to be self-respecting since it was in front of Kamiel.

However, a question suddenly occurred to me and I asked.

“… you. Is that really why you’re here like this?”

Leasian’s mouth opened.

His pure white ears turned red in silence, and he stopped trembling, perhaps because of shame.

‘… cute.’

“Well, I’m a bit of a ghost too… ”

That’s bullshit.

I wanted to go right away and see if it was a ghost or something, but… .

For now, I decided that stabilizing Kamiel was the priority.

‘never… never. ‘It’s not because of my selfishness.’

He’s so scared right now, it would be impossible to send him back to his room.

However, there was nowhere to go.

‘Except my room.’

Dara spent the night with Camiel… .

Perhaps because I was excited, my voice naturally became softer.

“Really? Miss too?”

“Uh, uh… . What should I do with this?”

This is not intentional deception.

You are telling a white lie for someone who is embarrassed.

Rheasian rationalized his selfish desires like that.

“… It can’t continue like this. First of all, I have to stay up all night covering myself with something.”

“But… .”

He seemed hesitant.

It was worth it. I don’t know where I am right now, but… .

Since he seemed to have rushed out in a hurry, he probably didn’t have time to pack a blanket.

Leasian smiled inwardly.

“Well, then… Do you want to go to my room first?”

“Yes? No, anyway, that’s… .”

No, why does he keep trying to push me away?

Rheasian felt somewhat dissatisfied.

His tone became rougher and his voice became a little more heated.

“What is it? I don’t even want to go into my room, is this it?”

Kamiel, whose eyes were shaking as if he was surprised, quickly shook his head.

“That’s not it… Anyway, going to the room where the young lady sleeps is inconvenient in many ways… .”

As he said these words so calmly, I couldn’t help but run out of patience.

Leasian answered that it was okay and led him by holding his wrist.

‘There are too many useless words… .’

Even though Leasian grumbled inwardly, it was difficult to erase the smile on his face.

“Lady. that… If you hold me that hard, my wrist hurts so much.”

“Oh, sorry… .”

I was shocked for a moment.

Was I that strong?

‘but… Even if I don’t, Kamiel’s body is very weak.’

Even though I relaxed a little, I didn’t let go.

As if he would hold on to this wrist no matter what happens.

Warmth passed through the skin that touched each other.

Leasian blushed without realizing it.

Is it because of the atmosphere of the night? Or is it because his mind has become firmer?

She wondered what Kamiel’s face would be like and what he would be thinking right now.

But I couldn’t bear to turn my head.

The moment you turn your ripe tomato-like face, you will be caught.

Is there a window open somewhere in the hallway?

The cool breeze cooled the heat of affection a little.
