episode_0002

There have been more than once in Kamiel’s life that he wanted to leave home.

I want to escape from the prison without iron bars, find freedom, and no longer want to suffer… .

but. He was just a boy from the Atran tribe.

Moreover, he was suffering from a terrible disease called rotten wood, and even if he left, there was nowhere he could go.

I didn’t know any friends or relatives.

Everyone treated him with a friendly smile, but Kamiel felt uncomfortable at being treated that way.

Although I received kindness from many people, I could not become friends with many people.

I know that kindness comes from simple sympathy.

When I remembered that, the misery that struck me at times was indescribable.

‘Still, I wanted to get out of the village and away from my family at least once before I die.’

However, I had no hope.

I thought it was just a delusion.

Surely that would have been the case… … .

“Camiel. The Larun people came to our village. They are a disaster. With a simple gesture, this village could be devastated. So… Your sacrifice is needed.”

Katan came to visit him early in the morning.

Kamiel, who always woke up early, was able to greet him while staying awake.

For some reason, he seemed to have a very different expression than usual.

Camiel listened to his father’s words and closed his eyes.

“Father.”

“… Why?”

“If I am sacrificed to the Larun people, what happens after that?”

“… … .”

Katan could not easily open his mouth.

It was worth it.

The thoughts of the villagers and Katan when they first heard this proposal were that it would never end well.

The Larun people are such a strong race that I don’t know why they need the Atran people in the first place.

but… … .

“Kamiel… . He presented us with conditions we could not refuse.”

“… Is that so.”

Kamiel answered calmly with his eyes closed.

I don’t plan to delve deeply into what those conditions are.

Whatever it is, it seems like some people have already decided that they will pass him over.

Kamiel slowly lifted his eyelids.

I saw my father looking at the ground, unable to make eye contact.

Even if he went, there was something he wanted to ask.

“Father… .”

“… … .”

“… no. No.”

Kamiel looked like he was about to say something.

Normally, Katan would have yelled at me, saying that cutting off while talking is the worst thing I could do, but I would have listened to the backstory.

Not today.

Kamiel looks at his father with calm eyes and mutters an unspoken question to himself.

‘Did my father agree to my offering?’

The corners of Kamiel’s mouth rose slightly.

It was an answer you could know without even asking.

No matter how many people agreed in the first place, it would not have been possible if he, the guardian, did not agree.

When Camiel first heard those words, he felt a little bad.

As I looked at my father with his head down and looking so guilty, those feelings disappeared.

“Is that something you’re holding in your hand… Is it true what I think?”

“… … okay. It is ‘sleeping herb’”

If Kamiel refused, it seemed like he was planning on feeding it and offering it to the Larun people.

No matter how harsh I am to my son, I think the current situation is shameful.

He squeezed the sleeping plant in his hand so hard that the juice came out.

“That… Can you give it to me?”

“… … .”

Katan remained motionless for a while.

After several minutes, he could barely move his arm and handed the sleeping candle to Kamiel.

The hands were shaking very much.

‘someday… I wanted to leave. ‘This is how my dream comes true.’

Kamiel looked at the sleeping candle in his hand.

Now, if you eat this, you will be sacrificed in your sleep without your knowledge.

The Larun people will leave this village, and then Kamiel’s wish will come true.

‘The only way to get out of this town… Was there nothing but death?’

Kamiel masturbated, saying it was a good thing.

In any case, their lifespan is significantly shorter than that of other Atrans.

If you die here, you will not be able to see the outside world even after death.

It was destined to be buried lonely in the ground.

‘But still, the dream is coming true, right? ‘There’s no need to be depressed.’

The hall was filled with silence.

The two remained silent in the silence of dawn.

Kamiel had something else to think about,

Katan couldn’t bear to touch a son like that… .

For Kamiel, whose father’s image was always vivid in his mind, Katan’s appearance was new.

gulp-

After chewing the sleeping weed gently, it went down my throat.

After a while, as expected, as expected, as it is an herb that is excellent for treating insomnia, Suma came rushing in like crazy.

The already dark field of vision is covered with darkness that cannot tolerate even a single ray of light.

‘When I woke up… ‘I wish I was still alive.’

I don’t know what will happen,

For a Larun person to change his mind or kill himself with the original plan… I hope you will refrain from doing so.

‘I should go and see the outside world at least a little bit…’ … .’

I lost consciousness along with the fleeting wind.

Huh-

Kamiel opened his eyes to the feeling of cold wind sweeping his face.

‘This place… .’

“Are you awake?”

“Who… Are you there?”

In a dazed state, I stared at the man in front of me.

Kamiel narrowed his eyes.

Light brown hair exposed to the shining sunlight gave off a cozy feeling.

A handsome man who is considered beautiful even among the Atran tribe.

He was looking straight ahead and made eye contact with Camiel.

“It looks like you haven’t woken up yet. You’d better come to your senses quickly.”

The callous eyes and calm tone went well together.

As Kamiel began to recognize that this was reality, he felt like he knew who the person in front of him was.

‘Larun people… .’

It was my first time seeing other races.

Kamiel observed every inch of his face.

“What a weird guy… . Am I not scared?”

“Yes? no. Is it scary?”

“That guy rolls his eyes without any fear?”

“Ah… Just because it’s amazing.”

“… … .”

It’s ridiculous, or is it? There was no reply back.

I just turned my head back to the front.

All Camiel could see was his chin, and he slowly turned his head to another direction.

“Wow… … .”

I wonder why the wind keeps blowing… .

Even before Camiel woke up, he had been flying with the Larun man in his arms.

I looked behind me and saw black wings flapping on the back of a Larun man.

This time I looked down.

The open view of the ground felt small, like a kingdom of ants.

‘But where are they taking me now?’

Kamiel, who had already achieved his wish, was able to throw away his last remaining regrets.

Fortunately, I feel grateful to the Larun man who saved my life.

‘I really… Why do you need it? The Larun people probably don’t need the abilities of the Atran people.’

I heard that the Larun people are born with a superior body as well as strength.

That’s why it’s their race that lives their whole life and never suffers from a minor illness… .

Kamiel had doubts, but did not ask questions here.

‘What’s worse than killing him?’

If it were not for the purpose of treatment, would they be torn apart by the cruel and violent Larun people?

While Kamiel was thinking about a million things.

‘Have we arrived?’

Two people land slowly, spreading the wind.

Kamiel once again looked surprised.

There was a huge mansion near where they were going down.

The roof of the mansion was as blue as the sky we had just seen above.

It was a refreshing shock to Kamiel, who had lived in a small village all his life.

“Master. Welcome.”

“What is Leasian doing now?”

“The lady… You are still refusing to eat.”

“… Let’s go in first. No. 1. Get this guy ready and send him up to my room.”

“Okay.”

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler approached Kamiel.

“Follow me.”

The first thing Camiel felt when he entered the mansion was desolation.

Maids and servants were often seen rushing around.

Their expressions were stiff and unhuman.

“You can wash here, change your clothes, and then go see Lepurun.”

“Who is Le Blue… .”

“This is the name of the person who came with us earlier.”

The facial expression of the middle-aged butler who said that was no different from the unnatural facial expression seen earlier.

I can’t feel the vitality of people.

“We will help you.”

“No, that’s not necessary… ”

I have never had anyone help me bathe in my entire life.

However, when a young maid offered to help, Camiel tried to refuse.

But… .

Kamiel’s face was extremely red as he put his clothes back on, blowing out steam.

No matter what they said, the maids took a strong stance, claiming it was their duty, so they had no talent to deal with it.

For the first time in my life, I was washed by someone else’s hands.

‘This is my first time wearing clothes like this… .’

Lepurun was a type of clothing similar to that worn by Larun men.

I don’t know what size the clothes were, but they fit perfectly so there was no discomfort in moving around.

“Follow me.”

As he went out the door, the middle-aged butler from earlier guided him.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Kamiel, who had a hard time enduring the silence, looked at the middle-aged butler’s gaze and cautiously opened his mouth.

“That… What should I call you?”

“Please call me Ilho.”

“Ilho… .”

Is it because of my mood that it feels like a name given to an object?

Camiel shook his head.

‘To think of people like objects… .’

Even if you are a warrior of the Larun tribe, this is impossible… Is it? indeed?

Kamiel wasn’t sure yet.

Because the reason he was brought here was questionable.

smart.

“Master. I brought you here.”

“Let’s take a look.”

“Please go in.”

The butler opened the door and Camiel took slightly trembling steps.

Squeak-

The door closes with a faint sound of hinges.

Kamiel looked around.

I don’t know what this place does, but there are a lot of books.

There are dozens of books on the shelves that are hard to find in the village.

Kamiel was slightly surprised.

“Why do you think I brought you here?”

Lepuren asked, taking off the glasses he was wearing.

Kamiel thought about it a little, but he didn’t know anything enough to guess the answer.

He shook his head, and after a moment Lepurn spoke.

“I have one daughter. To put it bluntly, the situation is strange. Plus, the child is sick. What you have to do is simple.”

Kamiel watched his mouth.

Because the words that come out of that mouth determine your future.

“Treat my daughter. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. Fix it so that the child can eat normally.”

“Really… Is that all?”

Kamiel blinked with a puzzled expression.

“You’re not going to kill me?”

“You are talking nonsense when you ask me to treat my daughter.”

Lepuren responded in a tone that said it wasn’t the same.

As Kamiel stood there blankly, he immediately gave the order to congratulate the guests.

“Please come here. I will guide you to the young lady’s room.”

Kamiel was still in a dazed mood and then returned to reality.

I asked Ilho in front of me a question.

“Ilho. What kind of person are you?”

“You are a pitiful person. Because of the many incidents you have experienced, you are now so devastated that you cannot even eat properly.”

“… … .”

It was an answer that could not be easily guessed about a woman called Miss.

Still, I could see that she was in a difficult situation right now.

‘Can I really cure it with my own power?’

If treatment is impossible… Could it be that he is killed?

In a way, it would be natural.

If it’s useless, there’s no reason to keep it.

smart.

“Lady. The therapist is here.”

“… … .”

“Excuse me.”

Crackle, crunch… Crash.

Ilho picked up the bundle of keys and put one of the many keys into the keyhole.

I heard a clicking sound, so it seemed like it was locked.

Ilho opened the door without hesitation.

Hiss – Boom!

“Lady. The habit of throwing things is bad.”

“Get out!!!”

A sharp shout rang out.

Kamiel opened his eyes wide and looked at Ilho.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. By the way, lady. There is no problem with this for me, but the new therapist is weak. Please be careful… ”

“I told you to get out! Get out!!”

Items came flying again.

Instead of being hit like before, Ilho grabbed it with his hand.

“Please wait a moment.”

Ilho did not look agitated, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

I skillfully entered the room and lit a candle.

The darkness cleared and I was finally able to see the inside.

‘That person…’ . ‘Is she that man’s daughter?’

Her light brown hair was long enough to reach down to her waist.

Their skin is pale and their limbs are thin, as if they have lived only in the dark.

An extroversion that stimulates a person’s need for protection.

However, Kamiel focused on other things than those things.

Big eyes revealed through long hair that reaches down to the eyes.

It was the look in the eyes of someone whose emotions were worn out and whose spirit was worn out.

“You… Who is it?”

“… … .”

When Kamiel closed his mouth without answering, he asked back in a sharper tone than before.

“Who are you?”

“I… This is the person who came to treat the young lady.”

“Treatment? There’s no need for that, so get out quickly. No. 1. Take that guy out.”

“Sorry. Miss.”

“Ilho!”

“I apologize for not being able to refuse as it is the master’s order.”

With those words, Ilho closed the door and left.

An awkward atmosphere flowed between Leasian and Camiel, who were suddenly left alone.

She warned, glaring fiercely at Kamiel.

“You… Don’t think about treating me. Because I’m going to die like this.”

“… … .”

Kamiel was shocked and speechless.

Why does this little girl want to die?

That too, a girl from the Larun tribe.

‘Is there a story…? .’

There was no way I was stuck in my room like this, skipping meals for no reason.

When I thought about it, I felt sympathy.

‘No, what am I thinking?’

Kamiel was startled and quickly shook off his wrong thoughts.

Isn’t sympathy what he hated the most?

I can’t believe I’m feeling that right now and looking at the girl with pity.

If she had known, things might have been thrown at her too.

“Lady. Please excuse me for a moment.”

“No need! Why don’t you listen to me? Listening to your father so well?”

Her voice started shrill and ended in tears.

I could hear even a little resentment in his voice, as if he didn’t have a good relationship with his father.

‘It seemed like he cared for his child… .’

When Lepurn gives instructions to Kamiel.

He clearly had feelings for his daughter.

If you don’t have that feeling, there’s no way you’d go to the trouble of bringing Camiel to treat your daughter.

However, what Camiel knew was only fragmentary.

‘I’ll figure this out later… .’

“Lady. I’m not doing this because I listened to my father’s orders.”

“What? Do not lie. Do I look foolish enough to believe that?”

Even as he stared into her moist eyes, Kamiel composed himself.

“Although it is true that I was forced to come here, and it is true that I am here by order from your father.”

He had shaken off all his regrets and had no desire for life.

The current state is one in which you can let go of yourself at any time.

So, if I really didn’t want to, I could bite my tongue and die in front of her.

However, the reason for not doing so is… .

“I’m here because I want to get to know you.”

“… What?”

Of course, she looked like she was saying something stupid.

However, Kamiel was sincere.

He added with a grin.

“Can you be my friend?”

I wanted to get to know her.

I want to know more about this girl who looks similar to me.

“… … .”

When she raised her head, the light brown hair that covered her eyes fell down.

Her once gloomy eyes were shining with a light she had never seen before.
