“Where did Leasian go?”

“You followed Kamiel.”

thud-!

There was such a huge impact that I thought the mansion might collapse.

Ilho almost lost his balance for a moment, but quickly corrected his posture and lowered his head.

“Ilho. Did I hear wrong now?”

“No. You heard correctly.”

“That’s not what it says… You should know better, right?”

Lepuren’s anger was like a gently burning flame.

There was a ban on it. However, that did not apply equally to Ilho.

Because he was a doll made by Lepuren.

If Ilho had a sweaty body, he would have been in a cold sweat by now.

‘When was the last time I saw my master this angry? .’

There are so few situations that you can count them by hand.

I was facing that right now.

“You and I are the only ones who know where that guy went. Since Leasian didn’t come to me, the culprit was obvious.”

“… … .”

Ilho just lowered his head as if he had nothing to say.

There was silence.

A silence that was very heavy and oppressed my entire body.

* * *

A field of purple flowers under a never-ending night sky.

Leasian’s expression was distorted with turbulent emotions of sadness and joy.

Her tears fall down onto Camiel’s face.

“Lady… . How did you get here… … .?”

“Is that important now?! What the heck is this! Why are you so thin and pale? Any minute now… . No, no.”

Like someone who will die at any moment.

I couldn’t bear to say these words.

After a long wandering, I barely managed to catch him.

At this moment, I felt a feeling so overwhelming that I couldn’t express it in words.

She was afraid that this feeling would disappear like a mirage.

Rheasian was crying heavily and carefully looked at his face.

I touched it so gently that I thought it would break if I touched it.

“Really… I missed you.”

“… … .”

He couldn’t react in any way to the girl who was draped over his body.

However, he also shed tears.

Could this being crying from his chest be his own fantasy?

I was afraid to touch it hastily.

Because it felt like the joy I felt for a moment would be taken away.

but… He finally stretched out his hand.

‘ah.’

A silent exclamation flowed out.

The delicate arms were all in my arms.

I could once again feel her shaking as she sobbed.

It wasn’t a dream.

really… thank god.

He was relieved.

* * *

The two were sitting looking at the flower field.

Next to him was Ulka, who was still standing there.

purr.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two only hesitated, unable to open their mouths first.

Is it because it’s been a while since we last met?

Or is it because we had a dramatic reunion right away?

It was Rheasian who had difficulty speaking.

“This guy… .”

It was Ulka she pointed to with her voice.

“This is a child I met in the forest near the mansion and came here. He’ll love it when you pet his fur.”

“… … It’s true.”

Purr.

Judging by the way she clings closer to Rheasian’s hand, Ulka seems to like her too.

“Kya, tickle!”

“I love Ulka to death, right?”

Kamiel thought with a grin.

‘Was Ulka a male?’

perhaps… I didn’t even know there was something to be wary of.

“Camiel?”

“Yes?”

“No way… You’re not jealous, right?”

“Well, it can’t be… .”

Leasian’s eyes widened as he jokingly asked about the clumsy lie.

“What, was it true?”

“No. Could it be possible for me to be jealous of Ulka?”

“… okay? Then it’s Ulka. Let’s play together?”

purr!

“This is a little… I’m starting to feel sad.”

“It’s a joke, a joke.”

Even my slightly upset heart melted away due to Rheasian’s big smile.

They were silent for a while while looking at Ulka’s cuteness.

“You know. I was scared. I was so scared that I hurt you that I thought we shouldn’t be together?”

The tears, which I thought had stopped, started to well up again.

“Really… Sounds stupid, right? Selfish.”

Kamiel looked blank for a moment at her words, but then shook his head.

“Why is that selfish? It’s because you’re considerate of me.”

“Consideration? no. I kept getting hurt… As you probably noticed, it was self-harm. I want your attention… … .”

Kamiel was not surprised because he already knew this.

just… .

“How difficult was it for you to make that choice?”

“What?”

“It’s not easy to hurt yourself. And yet she did it. Wasn’t it more desperate than pain and fear?”

“… … .”

Kamiel gently hugged her, who was crying and frowning.

And I was worried.

Wouldn’t it be very uncomfortable to have a very thin body?

However, I thought it was fortunate to see Rheasian burying his face in my shoulder.

“I am truly sorry… . By making her worry and feel anxious.”

The tremor I felt in my shoulders replaced the answer.

“Don’t cry. You are the prettiest when you smile.”

These were not empty words.

Because her smile was so beautiful that you couldn’t buy it for a thousand dollars.

Pat, pat. When I patted his shoulder, the whimpering sound lingered in my ears for a long time.

* * *

Kamiel calculated his remaining time.

It was because I remembered a promise I made sometime ago.

‘Shall we get married?’

At the time, it was just a temporary remark to reassure her.

Now that I was here, my thoughts had changed a little.

There were still many obstacles and concerns.

A short period of time and a gradually weakening body condition.

And even the fear that comes from ignorance about the outside world.

It was not something that could be easily resolved.

but.

When he separated from the young lady, he realized.

‘I don’t want to die like this.’

I wanted to leave even a little more of a mark on this world.

Like the one you love.

Build unforgettable memories even after you die, and remember only happy memories when you lie in your grave and close your eyes.

I wanted to experience everything.

Worries about the short lifespan left, and the lethargy that comes in the morning.

Even the vague fear of going out into the world… Everyone had no hesitation when they were with the young lady.

“Lady. Are you feeling better now?”

“Huh? ah… .”

Leasian hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly.

Kamiel laughed as if he knew that would happen.

‘perhaps… Wasn’t the young lady’s illness a mental illness?’

Common diseases can be treated with medicine.

Mental illness was very tricky.

Because I need to understand that person and help him overcome difficult moments.

‘But the only people in the mansion… … .’

The servants of the mansion, the first butler, and the young lady’s father were all far from comforting anyone.

It felt like watching machines doing their own thing.

Whatever it is. Kamiel was satisfied as long as the young lady was fine.

“Lady. A promise I made before… Do you remember?”

“… Yes.”

For a moment, an uneasy feeling appeared in his light brown eyes and then disappeared.

“You’re healthy now, right?”

“Yes… .”

“Then I’ll ask again. me… Do you still like it?”

It was a truly absurd question.

We were so glad to see each other after such a long time that we shed all our tears and snot… Do you still like it?

“… Are you kidding me?”

puck!

“Ah! Lady, your fists are a bit… ”

“Still? still? Do you still like it?”

Ulka, who had been watching with bated breath, flinched at her loud voice.

“That… That’s it!”

That was enough of an answer.

Kamiel stretched out his hand like the wind and lightly grabbed the nape of her neck.

And then he placed his face on top of hers.

“… … !”

Her pale face turned red in an unexpected situation.

After a long and short time has passed.

Kamiel slowly walked away, blushing shyly and wiping his lips.

“Was this the first time I did it first? haha… … .”

A shy smile came out.

Leasian, with a face like a ripe tomato, touches her lips with her hand and distorts her eyes.

“Huh… . Is this really true?”

“It’s a pity that we can’t hold the ceremony right now… .”

There was a lot to prepare for the ceremony, but we didn’t have the conditions to do so.

It was simple, but when I said that the contact I just made was a declaration of marriage in its own way, Leasian responded with a straight face.

“No way… That’s the end? Don’t play around.”

“Yes? sleep… !”

… It was Leasian who rushed towards me before I could even shout “Siman.”

She pounced on him and knocked him down, exhaling excitedly and repeating what she had done a moment ago.

It was a deeper and much longer kiss than before.

* * *

An energy weighing heavily on the intestines.

I don’t know how many hours it’s been already.

Ilho’s legs were shaking so dangerously that he looked like he might collapse at any moment.

It was then.

smart.

“… Who is it?”

“This is me. Ruanel.”

“… Come in.”

After Lepurun gave permission, a girl with elegant beauty opened the door and came in.

Because she was within range, she felt the same pressure as Ilho.

It didn’t show that tone at all.

“Please stop.”

“… This is not your decision. Since the situation is like this, just say what you want and leave quickly.”

“I’m here to tell you to stop. It’s not just here. The entire mansion is being affected.”

“… … .”

Lepuren stared at her with emotionless eyes.

Ruanel sighed and said.

“I now have the item my uncle wants. I played a part in forcing Leasian to leave, so if you would stop at this point, I will offer you an apology right away. How do you feel?”

“… … .”

Ilho almost collapsed due to the pressure that disappeared in an instant, but he miraculously survived this time.

An ordinary person would not have had the strength to even stand, but it was possible because of the doll’s body.

“Just go out.”

“Okay… .”

Ilho bowed once, and after saying hello to Ruanel, he slowly left the room.

When only the two of them were left, Ruanel walked in front of him without hesitation and put down an object.

“It is the heart of the Atran people. I never knew it looked like this, but… There’s no doubt about it.”

It was called the heart of the Atran people and was a crystal that gave off a brilliant light.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

Ruanel left the room without any hesitation as if he had finished his business.

Left alone, Lepurn held up the crystal called the heart of the Atran people after a moment of silence.

The slight raising of the corners of his mouth was probably not due to his mood.
