Episode.59 My first love story

The sight of Illya continuing to talk with sparkling eyes as if she was asking me to help her with her immorality gave me a headache.

I had a mind-numbing headache and my eyes were hit so much that I wondered if I had a cold.

“I don’t think there’s anything more to say, right?”

“No. I’m not just asking to assassinate my father. The reason you view my actions now as mere immorality is…”

“What do you see?”

Illya appears to be pondering whether something suddenly occurred to her and does not tell us the end of her sentence.

“Listen carefully, this is simply about inheriting the throne.”

“What is that?”

“Shut up, don’t interrupt what I’m saying.”

I kept my mouth shut, as she said.

“Anyway, it is not a simple act of immorality that just kills one’s parents. Now, I am taking over the position in place of my father, who seems to be exhausted from everything. If I were to succeed to the throne, I’m sure my father would be proud. Well, if you look at it from the perspective of my father who wants to sacrifice my life anyway… it’s just self-defense.”

It’s a bit strange, but it doesn’t mean that what she says doesn’t make sense.

‘It’s better to strike first than to suffer quietly… I guess.’

Resist from beings that threaten your life.

Free yourself from the clutches that are trying to take your life.

And… Verdium certainly looked and acted as if he had given up somewhere.

So why did he suddenly attack me?

“Hey, did I do something wrong to Verdium?”

“Hmm… To my dad?… No matter how much I think about it, I have no idea. It’s the first time my dad has reacted like that.”

I stuffed the seemingly useless book, labeled Vampire Diaries, back into my inventory.

I passed through sub-space and left the book behind.

“First of all, you don’t want to marry a blood-drinking monster like me anyway, right?”

After that, ‘- Well, for us, high-quality blood is like delicious water.’ He continued and said.

“Huh?”

“So… let’s assassinate my father together.”

Illya Violet and Verdium Violet.

Who would have known that their relationship would actually be this bleak?

As if I was captivated by her eyes, I unconsciously stroked her cheek.

“Huh, huh… Really, you’re the only one who can forgive this kind of rudeness?”

Cheeks are red.

As I looked at Illya, whose cheeks had turned red, I felt my sanity that had run away from home come back.

Only then did I come to my senses, stopped stroking Illya’s cheek, and withdrew my hand again.

“Oh…”

Illya looks somewhat regretful.

“Well, so? Now what are you going to do next? Your father is strong.”

To Verdium, I am not even a practice partner right now.

==========

Even though I raised my level to 30, I felt a little depressed because I was still weak.

“…Please don’t make a strategy for me to surprise Verdium and kill him.”

Upon hearing this, Illya’s expression suddenly became solemn.

“… Leave that to me.”

“You’re not going to poison anyone, are you? I don’t think that strong person will be affected by the poison.”

“You simply need to waste time and attract attention from the front. The rest… we’ll take care of it… so, there’s nothing to know. About means and methods.”

The red moon reflected in her bright red eyes, making them even more reddish.

At this very moment, I began to worry about Harin, who was alone and imprisoned somewhere, looking up at the night sky and watching the snow cover the ground like a white blanket in the darkness.

I also began to look over the railing at the scenery that Harin was seeing.

The scenery that creates the purified beauty of nature makes you fall into deep thought.

As I was staring blankly at the quietly falling snow, Ilya tugged on the sleeve of my dress.

“… Why?”

“If you get hit in the eye like that, you will catch a cold.”

I was so focused on the conversation that I couldn’t avoid the snow coming over the railing and kept getting hit.

I snorted and said.

“It’s already been a while.”

The snowy night sky is like a scene from a fairy tale… it fascinates all living things that look at it.

‘Is there civilization even inside the gate?’

Even though the words were spoken in question form in her mind, Chaewon was speechless as she was sound asleep.

“Hey, Siwoo.”

Illya calls me by my name.

It feels a little unfamiliar somewhere.

“That ‘white female’ that came with you… Is that, by any chance, your lover?”

I think ‘white female’ is probably a word meaning Harin.

White from head to toe.

They’ve been hanging out a lot lately and it’s a good atmosphere, but… if you ask if we’re ‘lovers’, it’s because we’re not in a definite relationship yet… The answer to that question is.

“No, not yet.”

“… yet? So you don’t really have anyone to call your lover right now? Isn’t there someone else?”

I hesitated a little.

“Okay, not anymore.”

Ilya didn’t seem to like my answer at all, so wind got into her cheeks.

“Now?”

“Yes, there was one in the past…but as of now, well…you can say they broke up because they didn’t get along.”

“Well, then… that girl who was your lover… was she something that could be called the first love of your life?”

first love.

Sometimes it can be beautiful… but not to me.

“First love… It was a relationship that could probably be called that.”

As I look at the snow in the night sky falling from the red sky, I imagine the brilliant moments I spent with her.

“Now that I think about it.”

At that time, when I was dating Jena, I was afraid of being hurt by her.

“I was your first love.”

I was always anxious that my relationship with her would change in an instant.

“Maybe I wasn’t her first love?”

Anyone would be afraid of that, but I thought it would be different.

“But… I still felt like the relationship would last forever.”

I thought I was different from others.

“Whenever I saw her smile, I thought it would be okay no matter what happened.”

I even start to think that maybe… she wasn’t interested in me in the first place.

“People say you can’t forget your first love, when you were younger than when you were dating her. At that time, I thought it was a lie.”

However, if you think about it again, this problem could be solved quickly.

“I thought I had forgotten everything.”

Is it worth dating for 3-4 years with someone you’re not interested in in the first place?

“When I think of those moments again… I miss them. School days.”

My answer to that question is ‘no’.

“Do you want to go back? At that moment…”

I shake my head from side to side.

“No, it’s definitely a little different from how I felt back then… I’ll be full of nervousness and excitement… but I don’t want to go back.”

Because.

“Because it’s my first love.”

It can be described as a feeling that feels like spring-like warmth and freshness combined into one.

Everyone has a different way of expressing their first love.

I think that the beginning of such feelings is first love.

‘They were moments of pure, magical emotions.’

“Can you tell me?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Your ‘school days’. If you say it that way, you can’t help but be curious about past history, right?”

“Umm… what should I do…”

I was worried.

no. What is there to worry about?

On a late night when I couldn’t sleep well… I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to tell you about my past at least once.

“Okay… I know it’s a high school?”

“‘High school’? By any chance, is that the word that refers to ‘higher’ magic?”

“Yes, that’s right. I know it well.”

“Are you really looking at this body as a child?”

I smiled slightly.

“Then, I will summarize only the important parts.”

Ilya nodded her head up and down quickly.

“Where should I start? Yes, it was the first day of high school entrance ceremony-”

The year goes back to 2037.

The story from the moment I first met her and promised her a future to the fountain on ‘that day’.

And now the story of me, student Han Si-woo, begins.
