by fnovelpiaToday is one of those days when Assis is alone. Karami has left to take care of other things, saying she has a lot to prepare.
-Don’t wander around alone. Whenever you go somewhere, always go with Perka.
Don’t forget to convey the words of earnest encouragement.
Assis followed Karami’s words and never let Perca out of his sight. Perca also didn’t have anything to do, so he sat on the bench and watched people work.
“People are really busy. It seems like we’re the only ones with nothing to do in Doomheim.”
These are all scenes created by Karami.
I also saw the scene where Karami persuaded the dwarves. With his unique plausible rhetoric, he created a situation where it was impossible not to be persuaded.
The thrill and goosebumps I felt when I saw people being treated like my own limbs.
Perka felt it instinctively.
Awe beyond respect.
And fear.
“I really can’t understand what that person’s purpose is.”
On the surface, he appears to be doing his best for Assis, but in reality, he is a grim reaper who plays with the lives of slaves.
The gap between what is rumored and what is seen with one’s own eyes is so great that it is impossible for the average person to understand it.
I’m just worried that such a Karami is the master of Asies. If you really care about Asies, you should free him from his slave status and treat him as an equal.
“It’s clear that you have dark intentions.”
I can’t figure out what they’re going to do to this innocent person.
It seemed that the ill effects of that kind of Karami had already spread to Assis. Assis tilted his head while repeatedly placing and removing his hand on her chest.
What else is the problem?
Perka asked in an anxious tone.
“Why is that?”
“This place… is weird.”
“Yes?”
Perka was startled.
Because where Assis placed his hand was where her heart was.
He quickly placed his ear on her chest.
Thump… thump… thump… .
It seemed to have taken after its owner’s easygoing personality, as its heartbeat was slow but steady.
“Are you okay? Are you sick?”
Assis shook his head.
I put my hand on my heart and recalled the feelings from yesterday.
“It just… got faster. My heart is pounding. My body is getting hot too… .”
When he felt that sensation, Assis swallowed his surprise. Because warmth, which he thought had no connection to his cold self, flowed out from him.
“Is it a cold? No, does Seolnyeo catch a cold too?”
Assis, who can’t feel the cold, has a cold.
That may sound funny, but Perka thinks it’s probably not a cold.
“It’s not like that now, is it?”
“Yeah.”
“When did symptoms appear?”
“Yesterday… …when I was watching Rami… .”
“When you see that person, does your heart beat faster and your face get hot?”
Perka quickly found the answer.
“Isn’t that anger?”
“Anger… ?”
“That guy made my sister his slave. That’s why I get so angry when I see him.”
There is a collection of emotions that Karimi wrote down herself once. It is an item that Assis created so that he can easily recognize the emotions he feels.
Assis recalled the collection of emotions and recalled the sensations of yesterday.
Is that the emotion called anger?
I thought it might be true that the symptoms were the same.
“Or there is one more… .”
Perka, who had been hesitating for a long time because it didn’t seem right, carefully opened his mouth.
“Love, huh?”
“Love… .”
Assis hummed softly, unfamiliar syllables brushing past his lips.
However, it was different from when I was angry.
The word love did not disperse, but slowly sank and reached the center of my heart.
A feeling of my heart beating quietly.
The heartbeat that was always steady and calm felt strangely irregular. I just said it, but why did this word shake me so much?
Assis closed her eyes and took a deep breath. But it was not a sensation so shallow that it would disappear with the breath. A fairy tale came to mind in her memory.
The prince kissed the sleeping Snow White.
Then, there were scenes that played out one after another. His gaze that had once looked at her. The affection that didn’t require any explanation, the smile, the way she spoke, even the touch.
‘ah….’
When I thought of them, my heart was already reacting. It felt the same as yesterday. My heart was pounding.
“Well, it might not be true, so you don’t have to think too deeply about it. Even if it is true, Mr. Karami is no good.”
“… ?”
As I was becoming aware of that hazy feeling, Perka intervened.
“That person is a villain who should disappear. You can’t like that kind of person, and you shouldn’t.”
“Is that so…?”
“Yes. Absolutely. Keep that in mind.”
Perka urging with a stern expression.
Her advice and curses combined to erase his feelings, but Assis treasured the feelings he had just felt in a corner of his heart before they disappeared.
***
“So there can be no love between a master and a slave. You can’t keep someone you love as a slave, right?”
Perka’s sermon continued all the way home.
If there had been an aptitude test, wouldn’t it have been more likely that Perka would have become a school principal?
It had been a long time since Assis had covered his eardrums with a thin layer of ice from the tiresome sermon that made his ears feel like they were going to freeze.
“Ms. Karami is a person who suffers from habitual female flirting syndrome. She did the same to me. If she had shown me that face, I would have been able to fight her. Of course, I didn’t fall for it.”
“Yeah… .”
“I’m telling you to listen, sister. Just in case. I’m telling you just in case. Please listen carefully.”
Assis also learned to protect his own safety. Here, he learned that he had to say “I understand” to stop listening to those annoying words.
He nodded with a soulless voice.
As I walked like that, houses began to come into view.
A knocking sound was heard.
Assis and Perka head to the blacksmith shop.
Torvar was pounding his hammer while covered in heat.
“What should I make?”
“Make a ring.”
“A ring? Who are you making this ring for? Father, no way?”
“That’s not it.”
New mom?
Torvar dismisses Perka’s thoughts.
There was no reason to hide it since Karami hadn’t specifically asked for it to be kept a secret.
“The slave killer asked me to make it.”
“Huh? Are you talking about Mr. Karami?”
There was no other reason for Perka to be surprised. Rings tend to have a special meaning compared to other jewelry.
There are some for decoration and some for friendship, but it is especially famous for being used as a symbol of love.
Even though I had just had a love story (a one-sided sermon) with Asis. The fact that Karami ordered the production of a ring at such a time was bound to be biased in one direction.
“No way?!”
Perka turned his head and looked at Assis.
To give her a ring?
Proposal?
Master to slave?
That too, a slave messenger?
Should I call this romantic or perverted? Are they planning on making a ghost bride?
No, even if he is a slave messenger, Asis may be too precious to kill. He may be planning a sincere proposal.
“Sister. You absolutely must not accept this. Do you understand?”
“Why…?”
“Why? I’ve been explaining it to you all this time. Have you already forgotten? That won’t do. I’ll explain it again from the beginning.”
“──Ah.”
Assis belatedly realized his mistake, but it was already too late. Perka’s sermon began.
***
After finishing a meeting with the Nanwarf warriors and craftsmen to discuss how to proceed with the battle, I returned home.
“Why is the atmosphere like this?”
The house I returned to had a different vibe than when I left.
Asias with droopy eye corners.
His shoulders were slumped and limp, like a puppy that had been caught by kids during the holidays. He looked extremely gloomy.
Perka, who seemed to be the cause, opened his eyes and glared at me.
What the hell is going on with these guys?
Well, they are such special kids.
Is there anyone in this world as normal as me?
If I worry about it, I’ll just get tired.
Don’t waste your time thinking.
“Miss AS. Pack your bags. We’re going on a trip.”
“Is it a trip? Is it a trip in this day and age?”
“Yes.”
“No way──”
“Don’t worry too much, I’m not running away.”
I blocked him in advance for fear of him talking nonsense.
As expected, he thought that only the two of us were running away, so he closed his Perka membership.
“Where should I go? I want to follow you too!”
But the bird can’t stand it anymore and moves its beak.
“Not this time. Just me and Miss Assis will be going, so please be quiet.”
“How can something so fatal be like that? What, are we going on a honeymoon or something?”
Why are you suddenly talking about a honeymoon?
I felt like I was becoming an idiot if I dealt with it, so I just ignored it.
“Miss AS, do you ever want to go back to your hometown?”
“Hometown… ?”
“If it’s my hometown, maybe?!”
Perka, who had become a huge fan of Snow White, was quick-witted.
“That’s exactly what you’re thinking. We’re going to the Winter Kingdom, which was cursed by the dragon and became part of a fairy tale.”
Then, Perka’s momentum, which he thought had died down, flared up once again.
“Frozen! I want to go too!”
I understand how you feel.
I’ve been hearing stories about the kingdom every day since the days of Perkado Lake Fortress. At first, I thought it was a dementia patient’s delusion, but it was reality.
A fairy tale that has become reality. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to see it with your own eyes.
“What is not possible is not possible.”
But you can’t.
If you talk loudly next to me, it will disturb Assis’s enjoyment.
And you were glaring at me with an impure gaze earlier?
At first glance, it seems like I was thinking about useless things, but it’s revenge.
Ignoring Perka, who was whining that it was fatal, he met Assis’ eyes.
A look of bewilderment appeared on Assis’s blank face, as if he had never even thought about it.
“What should I do? If I go, I’ll be able to see a lot of things.”
Assis, who had been standing still, moved his head as if possessed.
