Ttogak-.

Ttogak-.

The sound of two footsteps echoes through the long hallway.

The fact that I am walking with you in a new space feels special.

Come to think of it, you never went back to your parents’ house after marrying me.

I was so indifferent.

Just as I value my family, you must also value your family.

I’m sure there are valuable things in this mansion.

I am once again grateful that they gave up those things and waited for me.

‘It’s gorgeous.’

I captured the mansion that was precious to her with my eyes as much as I could.

Compared to the Duke of David, it is so gorgeous that it can be said to be the polar opposite.

Expensive ornaments decorate the walls of the hallway, making it a feast for the eyes no matter where you look.

However, Luna actually hated luxurious things.

Even if I gave him a ring or necklace as a gift, he never wore it.

Maybe it’s just a difference in taste, but for some reason, I felt that way.

I wonder if something happened.

Since I don’t really know anything about Luna’s past, I couldn’t come to any conclusions right now.

All I can do is take my time and find out.

I walked down the hallway, up the stairs, and down the hallway again.

Then, Luna suddenly stopped in front of a room.

Where did Luna want to take me?

That was the moment when that thought occurred to me.

Luna naturally opened the door.

Air was pushed out through the open door, and Luna’s hair that hung down was gently swaying.

At the same time, a faint floral scent wafted out.

It was a scent that seemed to put my mind at ease, but also strangely made my heart pound.

It even felt a little familiar.

It didn’t take long to figure out what it was.

Because that was the scent Luna had.

She had invited me to her room.

The moment I realized that fact, my hair turned completely white.

What I had planned to say to her today fell apart.

‘What is this… .’

A room is an extremely personal space.

From being a place to sleep to a place to change clothes.

Maybe it’s a space where you hide something you don’t want others to see.

Inviting others to such a place means infinite trust.

That means I can show you everything I have.

So I asked.

“That… Princess Luna, I would like to ask you just in case. Are you here to pick up something for a moment?”

Yeah, maybe to pick up some stuff. Otherwise, to place the potted plant I received.

If that were the case, it might be rude for me to even step into the room.

However, my expectations were completely wrong.

Luna shook her head.

It meant that it was right to invite him to the room.

“Well, I see.”

Embarrassed, I stumbled over my words.

Of course it’s something I’m happy to do.

To the point where I wonder if there is anything happier than receiving infinite trust from her.

However, apart from that, I couldn’t easily understand her actions.

Because there was no reason for something like that to happen between her and me.

We haven’t been together for a long time, and we’ve never expressed our feelings to each other.

Although she has the status of fiancé, that is ultimately a family decision and not what she wanted.

‘What on earth should we do…? .’

Is he acting in such a difficult way?

My heart was pounding and I couldn’t organize my thoughts.

Step by step-.

Anyway, it wasn’t polite to decline the invitation, so I stepped into the room.

Plain.

That was exactly how I felt when I stepped into her room for the first time in my life.

Even the luxurious ducal residence, especially the princess’s room, couldn’t be this simple.

Bed, desk, and bookshelf.

The large room felt a little empty because only the necessary things were left there.

‘Do you like reading books?’

The bookshelf was full of books, and there was a book on the desk that seemed to be being read.

I looked away, thinking that it would be a good idea to give a book as a gift next time.

The curtains on the window sway as a soft breeze blows.

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, it felt a little elegant.

The scenery outside the window was quite beautiful.

The fresh feeling of the forest full of greenery gave me the feeling that my insides had been opened up.

The corners of my mouth naturally rose as I imagined you looking out the window.

Tuk-.

The sound of Luna placing a flower pot on the desk brought me out of my imagination.

As she was looking around at the flower pot, she started writing something down in a small notebook.

And then he showed it to me.

[What is the name?]

name?

Are you asking the name of the evening primrose?

As I was tilting my head because I didn’t understand the meaning of the words, she moved the pen again.

[The name of that plant.]

I usually want to give a name to a plant, but… .

“I don’t have one yet, but it would be good to think about it together to see if there is anything good.”

There is no law that says something good is good.

I’m a little happy that they think they value it enough to give it a name.

[salad.]

“… I think you might want to think again.”

Apparently, Luna didn’t have a talent for naming names.

However, it turned out that I also had no talent in that area, so I started putting my head together and thinking about it.

I sit across from you in silence and narrow my eyebrows.

It was truly a new experience.

When I raise my head, I see you.

What was so serious? The emotions hidden in the expressionless face felt quite serious.

For some reason, I found it funny and happy, so I burst out laughing without realizing it.

Luna raised her head at the sound of laughter.

You look at me from a distance that I can reach just by stretching out my hand.

Reflected in those blue eyes, I looked happier than anyone else in the world.

[Did it come to mind?]

“Oh, no. I just found this situation fun.”

Who would have guessed that the first thing I would do with you would be to name a flower.

At least I didn’t know.

So it was even more fun.

Luna’s pen, which had hesitated several times on the small notebook, moved again.

Sussseu-.

Black ink draws lines and soon the letters are completed.

[Moon is.]

“Oh… .”

Moon is named after the ‘moon’ of evening primrose.

It was such a simple name that I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it until now, but I didn’t think there was any other name that would suit it better.

This will do.

“I think it’s good.”

[Then that child’s name is Moon.]

Luna slowly moved her gaze towards the evening primrose, and I followed her, looking in the same direction as her.

The evening primrose was swaying gently in the blowing wind.

It felt strangely good to be exposed to the warm sunlight.

May you always be beautiful in that place.

I hoped so and turned my gaze to her again.

“Princess Luna.”

She turned her head at my call.

The face is still expressionless.

I didn’t care and continued talking.

“The weather looks nice. Would you like to go out for a while? I wonder what the garden of the Duke of Iris is like.”

There was no particular grand reason.

I just wanted to enjoy the special day a little more and do various things with Luna.

And I wanted to capture the things you loved in my eyes as much as possible.

Nod-.

Luna’s head moved up and down.

It meant positivity.

I jumped up from the chair and naturally tried to reach out to her who was sitting on the bed, but stopped for a moment.

This is our second meeting, and I thought it would be uncomfortable to see a man holding hands.

Even so, there were widespread rumors that he was a bastard, so I had no choice but to be more careful.

And in the meantime, Luna stood up on her own.

The hand that has no place to go ends up turning awkwardly.

You were still a very difficult person to me.

The coward, who expressed the feeling of not wanting to be hated, spoke as if nothing had happened.

“Shall we go?”

Luna nodded and walked away first, and I followed behind her.

When I came out, the midday sun was shining quite strongly.

Compared to the morning, it even felt hot.

‘I’ll make a hat as my next gift.’

A walk under this kind of sunlight would definitely burn Luna’s delicate skin.

It will turn red and become sore later.

Of course, the best way is to not go out while the sun is up, but you can’t give up the midday time when the flowers are most beautiful.

‘Which hat will suit you best?’

Well, since it’s pretty, it goes well with everything.

I thought so and took steps with her.

Trudging-.

The sound of footsteps echoes in the quiet silence.

It was the same as that day.

There was no conversation between us.

But, why?

If I was impatient to get to know you that day, I wasn’t today.

I like this comfortable, gentle silence.

I just wish this time would last forever.

I could only hope so.

Eventually we arrived at the garden together.

and.

You grabbed my hand.
