I was excited that Luna had come to visit.

Because I felt quite lonely the past few days without being able to see her.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I thought I should go see him soon, and I was so happy that he came at the right time.

But, it was questionable.

Why did Luna come without warning?

It was hard to imagine that she, who values manners, would act like this.

There must be a reason, but I couldn’t think of it, so it was just frustrating.

So I decided to stop thinking.

He said that good things are good things, but he couldn’t show that he was worried when Luna came to see him.

happy.

I just accepted it that way.

However, the moment Luna got off the carriage.

I had the illusion that my heart, which had been pounding with excitement, had stopped for an instant.

It wasn’t because I was shocked by her beauty.

‘why… ?’

Luna’s gait after getting off the carriage was awkward.

As if one leg was uncomfortable.

There were red blood stains on the dress, and there were small abrasions here and there on the skin that were not covered.

In addition, there are dark traces left on the hands.

When I faced her, my hair turned pure white.

My heart, which was once full of joy, became tangled in confusion.

What on earth happened?

Could it have something to do with coming to see me?

‘I don’t know.’

A mind that had forgotten how to think could not come to a conclusion.

However, even if it were normal, it wouldn’t have been much different.

Because it was natural not to know what happened to her while they were away.

It was a time when I was feeling so confused.

Luna spread her skirt to both sides and lowered her upper body.

and.

At the same time, her delicate body lost its balance and stumbled.

“Lu, Princess Luna?!”

It was a reflex action.

My feet hit the ground and my body jumped forward.

The scenery was quickly pushed out of sight, getting closer to you.

I was almost surprised by my own movements.

It feels like I have overcome my body’s limitations.

Is this an ‘Auror’ that I once heard about?

I do not know.

I didn’t want to know and it wasn’t important.

I was just worried about you.

What happened somewhere I don’t know.

Why is it looking so painful?

My head was full of you.

And soon.

My vision is filled with you.

Tuk-.

I stretched out my hand and touched her shoulder.

A small body that has lost its balance is held in my arms.

Quiet the questions in my mind that were trying to come out of my mouth.

Calm your startled mind.

I say something that will reassure you.

“It’s okay. Princess Luna.”

I didn’t ask if it was okay.

He said it was okay since he came by my side.

Because while you are by my side, I will be your wall.

I will strike down everything that bothers you.

Even if it is everything in the world.

Luna’s head moved up and down slowly.

At that nod, which was weaker than usual, I felt a prickling sensation in my chest.

As I followed the wounds on my body with my eyes, I felt like my heart was being torn apart.

As time goes by, the pain grows bigger.

In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and hugged her.

It was so light that I was worried that I might not be able to eat properly.

Luna, who was hugged by me, opened her eyes wide.

I am reflected in the widened blue eyes.

He looked even more surprised than the day he gave me the pen.

She soon regained her composure and shook her head left and right.

It’s okay, so there’s no doubt that it means please take it down.

He must have been nervous because he hadn’t even finished saying hello properly yet.

However, I had no intention of granting her wish.

I held Luna in my arms and bowed my head to my parents.

“I’m sorry, mom and dad. Please forgive my rudeness.”

I had a huge stake in Luna not being able to finish her greeting, so it was something I had to do.

And if I didn’t do this, it seemed like Luna would struggle to get off somehow.

Of course, given Luna’s personality, she would apologize to her parents several times later, but I wanted her to at least remain calm for now.

“It’s okay. I’m more worried about the princess.”

“Yeah, right. Albert, I’ll call a therapist right away… .”

Father and mother were truly worried about Luna.

He didn’t seem to care that he hadn’t finished saying hello.

I couldn’t thank you enough.

I was moved to tears by the fact that I was also caring for the woman I love.

Suddenly, Luna searched through her arms and took out a pen.

It was a pen I gave as a gift.

A blue glowing line is drawn in the air.

[I’m really sorry.]

[Thank you for your concern.]

[I am okay.]

Sentences completed one after another.

My parents blinked as if they were amazed at what was happening before their eyes.

When Luna’s pen stopped drawing in the air, her mother said with a gentle smile.

“It’s okay to explain slowly later, so let’s get treatment first.”

[yes.]

Finally, Luna held the pen tightly in her arms.

I hope you feel this.

That you are a person worthy of love.

“I will take you to a therapist.”

“Yes, do that.”

I left behind my parents who looked a little distraught, picked up Luna, and headed to the therapist.

I have never been more glad than now that there is a healer in the castle.

As we entered the building that looked like a small outbuilding, a man around my father’s age greeted us.

“Master? and… .”

“She’s my fiancee.”

“Excuse me. Princess Luna.”

He bowed his head in apology and guided me to a nearby bed.

Following the instructions, I carefully laid Luna down on the bed and stood next to her.

When I saw her lying on the bed, I realized how small and delicate she was.

said the therapist.

“Princess, may I ask how you ended up like this?”

[I fell.]

After seeing Luna’s writing, the therapist’s eyes turned to me.

It was an unspoken question.

How could I pick him up after just falling?

Then Luna’s eyes turned to me.

The meaning of the gaze seemed similar, but it was a look with a bit of resentment mixed in.

But, did you know it was me?

I didn’t know that I got hurt that much because of the fall.

Even my legs were limping, so I couldn’t help but notice even more.

Feeling like I was making a fuss, I looked at the ceiling for no reason.

It’s very old, so should I give instructions for it to be renovated soon?

“It must have been a big deal. Still, I’m glad. If it is an abrasion, it is not difficult to treat. Then, we will make you comfortable in no time.”

The therapist stretched out his hand and brought it close to Luna.

Green energy began to ooze from his hands, and soon seeped into Luna’s body.

The wounds on her arms and face heal quickly and then disappear completely.

Even to me, who had no knowledge of magic, his healing magic was amazing.

Well, to this extent, I guess the imperial family hired him as a therapist on behalf of the cardinal.

I remember hearing that even the emperor felt regret when he said he would retire with his father.

That’s probably how outstanding his skills were.

I don’t know why he gave up his honor as an imperial healer and resided at Duke David’s Castle, but I was glad that Luna was able to get better quickly thanks to him.

“Could you please check if there is any inconvenience?”

Luna tried to move her body around as the therapist spoke.

The rest of the place was fine from the beginning, and the leg that was the problem seemed to have completely healed.

A blue line is embroidered in the air.

[No problem.]

“Thank goodness.”

As the therapist said, I was really fortunate.

However, if she is completely healed, isn’t there any reason to have skinship?

It was so pitiful that I felt a little bit disappointed.

Of course, I felt much more fortunate.

Luna got up from the bed and bowed her head to the therapist to express her gratitude.

I also thanked him and we went out together.

When we came out, the dark sky welcomed us.

Maybe it was because he was relieved that Luna was safe, but the sky, which was still red, looked a little pretty.

I turned my head and looked at Luna.

Luna was just walking next to me with an expressionless face as usual.

As if nothing had happened.

What on earth happened?

The question that had been dormant slowly emerged.

Of course, you will naturally find out later in the process of explaining what is going on to your parents.

But maybe it’s difficult to tell your parents.

In that case, it would be better for me to coordinate from the middle.

To be honest, it was greed.

The desire to know what you went through before anyone else.

So I asked.

“Princess Luna, can you tell me what happened?”

Luna’s head slowly moves towards me.

The walking speed gradually slows down and then comes to a complete stop.

Your expression was the same as usual, but for some reason, it seemed like you could feel the depth in your eyes.

Is it perhaps difficult to say?

Did something serious happen?

In the midst of those anxious thoughts, Luna slowly began to write with a pen in her hand.

I guess I was just being oversensitive.

But when her pen stopped, I couldn’t help but be dazed.

[sorry.]

Luna bowed her head to me.

Like a person who has committed a sin.
