episode_0059

Contrary to expectations, Martina’s actions in obediently leading Dahuin to where he was were not without suspicion. However, Dincia was also in a situation where she could not act carelessly, so she decided to follow her for now.

Turf.. plod.. plod..

The interior of the {Sentry} family mansion was eerily quiet and quiet. There was no sign of people who were supposed to be busy.

‘There are so many people that it’s suspicious…’

Aside from only a very small number of servants going about their duties diligently, there was not even a female knight guarding this place to be seen… so I couldn’t help but feel awkwardly strange.

Moreover, this unpleasant condensation of magical energy can be felt throughout the mansion.

Dinsai is wary of his surroundings the entire time he walks, but he stares at Martina, who is ahead of him, as if he never lets his guard down.

“When I first found him…”

“He was already quite broken, as if he had been drugged.”

Dincia seems surprised by Martina’s words, but when she arrives at the room where Dahein is, she opens the door without hesitation and tries to check on his condition, holding her heart as it sinks at the sight of his miserable appearance.

＂Ah, son..＂

just as expected. Dahyun’s entire body had already stiffened and she looked like she was fast asleep with a very distressed expression, and the burn marks and terrible scars left here and there on her body broke Dincia’s courage.

‘I can’t believe how harshly they endured it…’

I felt pathetic for not being able to relieve my child’s pain.

‘I’m really sorry that my mother was late…’

According to Martina, when Dahein was found, he was already on the verge of collapsing as if he was heavily intoxicated, so his identity could not be confirmed.

It is said that, as a {Sentgi} and a woman, she could not stand to see the man collapsing, so she brought him in and treated him.

“It was a symptom of [Heavenly Herb] poisoning.”

Furthermore, upon checking Da-hin’s symptoms, it was revealed that he was suffering from seizures due to strong addiction and side effects due to [Cheongung herb], and they had no choice but to arrest him.

“We managed to put him to sleep by giving him an antidote.”

Although Martina’s words could not be completely trusted, it was clear that she was already taking care of her son and had even provided treatment and protection.

Dincia, who thought it was not a good idea to doubt any more, bowed her head and expressed her gratitude, and then slowly picked up Dahyun, who was fast asleep, saying that she would return to her residence and proceed with treatment.

‘My body is cold…’

Dincia feels the cold embrace of Dahyun, as if her muscles have become stiff and hard, and decides to move, leaving her heartbroken heart behind.

There was no time to delay.

＂Let’s go, son..＂

Martina, who seemed to pause for a moment at Dincia’s sad voice, quickly turns around and leaves the room, saying that she will prepare a carriage so that she can safely reach her village.

Excited.. Excited..

If only I had seen Dincia holding Da-hein a little longer.

This is because I felt the impulse that he could not hold the life-filled magic power and just let it out.

***

3 days after that…

Dincia, who barely arrived at {Dirlin Village}, began to quickly run to the mansion, holding Dahyin in her arms, who was sobbing as if she was about to die.

Slam!! Slam!! Slam!!

‘hurry..!’

Obviously.. {Sentry} prepared a carriage from the Duke, but judging from Dahuin’s symptoms, Hansi was in an urgent situation, so he repeatedly rudely refused and changed his “Ignition” attribute to a minimum and converted it to the “Luminous” attribute. Measures were taken to allow the water to flow into Dahyin’s body and heal at the same time.

Just like that… Dincia’s horse, which had been running non-stop for three days and nights, slipped in the pouring rain as soon as it reached the village, and lay down as if fainting.

The female knights, who had been struggling to follow from a long distance away, also followed Dincia as she ran towards the mansion.

“You observe what the lord says, and the rest follows.!”

Slush.. Slush.. Slush!

just as expected. The gatekeeper guarding the main gate of the mansion was not taken aback by the sight of Dincia rushing towards him. He quickly secured the route and at the same time ran to the mansion first to report this.

“The lord has arrived!”

Hahyunt, who rushed out of the mansion at once upon hearing the news from the gatekeeper, tried hard to cover her eyes as if they were about to pour out at any moment… She picked up Dahyin, who was sleeping soundly, and turned to face Dinsia, who was standing steadfastly with her whole body soaked in the rain.

Tap.. tap..

Tears falling like crazy through the gaps between Hahint’s hands.

Tears, which had already dried up and seemed like they would never come out, began to flow like crazy, and Hahyunt soon ran to her through the heavy rain.

Slam!! Slam!!

＂Dincia!＂

At this moment when the cold, thick raindrops hit her body… Hahyunt was able to recognize that it was not a false dream or an illusion, so she urgently hugs Dincia, who looks like she is about to collapse at any moment.

dump!

How cold it was like ice…

Her lips were cracked and bleeding, and she was so tired that she felt like she was going to collapse at any moment.

In the meantime, Dincia did not show any sign of coldness.

It only brought out a bright smile and a feeling of regret crying out from within it.

Hahyunt runs outside through the heavy rain and hugs Dincia, who is collapsing, as if to support her.

＂Dincia..＂

For the sole purpose of protecting and healing her son, Dincia surrounded his body with her magic for three days without resting. Dahuin was in perfect condition without even a drop of rain.

“I waited, you..”

Dincia’s difficult voice heard through heavy breathing…

Even in this serious situation where he felt like he was about to faint at any moment, Dincia, who never lost his weight and responsibility as the head of a family, left only a few words and collapsed as if he was falling asleep due to {magic exhaustion}.

dump..

＂Dincia!!＂

Even… Dincia, who never let go of Dahuin even at the moment of fainting, entrusted herself to Hahyun while hugging her son tightly, and the female knights who followed behind urgently helped her and Dahuin inside the mansion. We started moving quickly to the infirmary.

***

“I will start the examination right away.”

just as expected. The only doctor in {Dirrin Village}, who was always on standby, checked the condition of the collapsed Dincia and Dahuin… and soon made an immediate decision and began treating them with a potion he had made himself.

“I will make a diagnosis.”

＂Hahyeont..＂

Looking at the doctor’s expression, which was not at all good, Hahyant decided to listen to her diagnosis while barely holding her trembling hands.

“The lord has used magic power for a long period of time, which is why he is experiencing {magic depletion] symptoms.”

“If you take a deep sleep and wake up, you will all recover.”

＂However, Master Dahein…＂

Hahyunt, who was relieved for a moment when the doctor told her that Dincia was safe, heard Dahuin’s diagnosis and looked at her son, who was in complete disrepair, barely able to hold on to his pounding heart.

“The wounds that are visible on the outside will not cause any major problems in your future life.”

“The scars all over my body and the burn mark on my left hand… I think it will take quite a long time to heal.”

“Honestly, the situation is so serious that it is impossible to fully recover.”

As a man in this world, such an ugly scar could not help but be the worst thing.

Even though the proportion of men in this world is small, that doesn’t mean that all women take care of those men… It was a situation where taking care of oneself was a priority.

Despite the doctor’s words that make her heart pound… Hahint looks at the scars of the sleeping Dahuin, barely able to think about the feeling of a nail being driven into her chest, and decides to listen to the doctor’s diagnosis.

“When I look at the symptoms of paralysis and stiffening of the entire body and the occasional seizures… it is clear that [Cheongung Herb] is a side effect.”

“The good news is that you take the antidote in time, so there is no major risk to your life.”

“If something goes wrong with the aftereffects, you may never wake up, or you may lose some of your memories.”

***

Three days have passed since I left Dahyin like that.

A desolate and quiet night when his emptiness felt so great.

Left alone again, Martina closes her red eyes filled with emptiness, as if she were a doll that cannot feel anything, and falls into deep thought.

Martina herself knew it.

That sharp threat he felt when he faced Dahin’s mother, Dincia.

A posture where you can’t even see a gap just by sitting still.

A situation where not only the concentration of magical power but also the difference in experience is clear.

Even if he tried to kill Dincia with everything he had, it wouldn’t have worked on her.

In the end… I had to let Da-hein go.

Because of my weakness…

“Dahein..”

Even though I tried to deny the cold feeling of my body and mind, I could never tolerate his absence, so I had to solve this thirst somehow.

Ssss..

Martina, lying down on the bed filled with Dahuin’s traces, naturally took out his shabby coat from her leather bag, wrapped it around her, and began to smell his strong scent.

It was a thick and thick scent that made one wonder if a human scent could be absorbed like this, but it seemed to help Martina calm down this crazy feeling a little.

“Dawhite scent..”

My body begins to move reflexively.

Memories of that moment with him come back to me.

Even if he feels a little bit of the presence of Dahyun, who has filled everything for him so far.

As if the huge void that could never be compared to something like this could not be filled, he just buried his face into the bed with a wrinkled expression.

dump..

Even the symptoms of his right eye, which was connected to the part he left, had returned to its original appearance… This feeling grew stronger as time went by.

Obviously, the loss of connection with Da-heein means that she can no longer feel emotions.

It was normal for Martina to have lost her emotions, but these mysterious feelings coming from deep inside her were driving her crazy.

A maddening bitter emptiness.

The loneliness caused by his absence.

Even… the coldness of my body and mind that seemed like it would no longer be filled was vivid and brutal.

In the days when she couldn’t feel emotions, these sensations were always natural to Martina, so she couldn’t sense them, but as she felt such warm and happy moments with him, the opposite case also seemed to come to her greatly.

＂It’s so cold.. Dahyun..＂

Martina wanted to feel Dahuin’s remaining warmth in the bed. She wanted to burrow deeper into the blanket, but when she sensed traces of him disappearing little by little, a feeling of uneasiness began to swirl around her.

Excited.. Excited..

The sound of your own trembling heart that you recognize for the first time.

just as expected. These feelings gradually made my whole body tremble, as if my blood was rushing upwards. Thinking that she wouldn’t be able to calm down if she continued like this, Martina hurriedly formed a chain made of black magical energy… starting from her legs and moving up her entire body, strongly binding her entire body.

Just like he did to Dahyin.

Well done!! Well done!!

“ha ha ha…”

Screams that seemed quite painful began to fill the room, and gradually became more and more intense, to the point that my entire body began to bleed.

If you don’t do something like this.

The thought that my mind won’t be able to bear it… is driving Martina crazy today as well.
