“Either we run away together with Marie until the end, or Mom has to deal with the rage that is rushing towards us right now.”

Marie looks at me with infinitely serious eyes.

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by her aura.

“Can you handle it..? What should I do..”

But without giving a proper answer, Marie looked at me intently for a while, then took a step back with a short sigh.

“Sorry, Mom. It’s already been a while. You can’t run away anymore.”

“Eh..?”

“…It won’t hurt. Maybe.”

With the meaningful words of an unknown Marie.

Boom-!

A huge explosion was heard from the door, and at the same time, a tremendous amount of heat filled the room.

I looked at the place where the explosion came from with a puzzled mind.

Then, for a very brief moment, it felt like time had stopped.

Boom- Boom-

As I looked towards the door… no, to be exact, as I looked at the person standing in front of the door, my heart began to pound loudly.

A majestic figure like a great general.

Such beautiful bright platinum blonde hair.

Golden eyes that shine like a sun.

When I saw her, my heart started pounding like crazy.

“Uh..uh….?”

He is a person I don’t know at all.

I’ve never seen it before.

A complete stranger who does not exist even in one’s memory.

But why?

Why on earth are you doing this?

He clutched his chest with trembling hands.

I was out of breath.

My hands and eyes began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred, and tears began to well up in my eyes.

The golden woman stared at me intently and then slowly began to approach me, one step at a time.

Jeobuk-

Jeobuk-

Every time she took a step closer, my heart felt like it was breaking.

I felt like I couldn’t bear the overwhelming emotions any longer, so I closed my eyes tightly and took a step back.

“Hey..wait..don’t come..”

I instinctively waved at her and tried to speak to her, but the golden woman walked towards me without a trace of hesitation.

A woman came towards me without me knowing.

As I looked into her eyes right in front of my nose, a teardrop fell from the corner of my eye for no reason and flowed down my cheek.

“…..”

“Uh….over there..”

She looked down at me for a long time without saying anything.

“Who…who are you? Huh?!”

Before I could finish my words, she hugged me tightly with all her might.

In an instant, he found himself in her arms.

I could feel her warmth and her madly beating heart through our skin touching.

As she hugged me tighter, indescribable feelings began to swirl inside me.

Obviously..

This is definitely the first time I’ve seen this woman, so why…

Why does my heart become so enriched?

Why do I feel so…happy?

After a passionate and intense hug, the woman took a step away from me and stared at me intently from right in front of her nose.

I spoke up awkwardly in response to her gaze, which was so intense it was burdensome.

“Uh…Uh…Who the hell-”

“One year.”

A woman’s voice interrupts me.

As I looked at her, my mind wandered, and I saw her eyes blazing as if they would explode at any moment.

“I lived like I was dead for a year.”

“Yes..?”

“I couldn’t sleep at night, so I took medicine to fall asleep, and I couldn’t stay sober during the day, so I always had to live with alcohol in my hand.”

She continued speaking, grabbing my shoulder firmly.

“Half of the year I cried tears of blood and mourned, and the other half I screamed and cried out in despair.”

“What the heck..”

“But you.”

Her voice was so cold it was almost hollow.

“But you. Have you been having fun and having fun here all this time, with your memories erased?”

“Eh..?”

Kkadak-

While she was flustered by the unexpected words, the woman snapped her two fingers together and made a snap sound.

“You really better be prepared, Hera.”

As her words ended, golden stems began to surround me.

“Eww?! Eww!!”

The stems completely blocked my mouth and even covered my eyes, completely blocking my vision.

The woman lifted me, wrapped completely in golden stems, and placed me on her shoulder. She then began to walk away.

“…I had Hera all to myself for this week.”

“But instead, you came back like this.”

Marie’s voice came through the only ear that wasn’t blocked.

“That’s right. If you hadn’t come back, I would never have forgiven you.”

“…huh.”

They are having a conversation that is completely incomprehensible.

In a situation that I could not understand at all, I staggered around, trying to break free from the bonds.

Perhaps because she found me annoying, the woman brought her hand down hard on my buttocks, which were resting on her shoulder.

– Ouch!!

“Hyakkkeup?!!”

“Stay still. Unless you want to get scolded in front of everyone.”

Her seething voice took my breath away.

The woman remained silent for a moment, then spoke to Marie again.

“One month. I will find all of Hera’s memories and return within a month, so tell everyone.”

“Will they be convinced?”

“If you don’t like it, then come at me.. I’m so angry right now that I could do anything.”

“…….”

“I’ll assume you understand.”

A woman who exchanges a few words and then starts walking away again.

“Disciple!!”

I raised my head at the sound of my teacher’s voice coming from behind me.

“Ugh..! Ugh!”

I wanted to call out to the Master, but the golden stems that blocked my mouth only allowed me to babble.

“My… disciple! I can’t tell you much, but listen carefully to what I say! Never reject her! Otherwise, an unbearable wrath will come upon you!”

to..?

Master, what does that mean?

“Calm her down as much as possible and then talk to her-”

“Shut up.”

A calm silence came along with the woman’s growling words.

It was an extremely heavy silence for me, as I couldn’t see anyone.

Soon the woman began to move her body little by little.

Exactly-

I felt as if my body was floating along with the sound of my fingers clicking.

In that instant, I was separated from the Eastern Continent forever.

*

The feeling of floating in the air for a moment is also felt for a moment when your feet touch the ground again.

The golden streaks that had been covering my eyes and mouth disappeared.

As my vision gradually brightened, what came into view was a large mansion.

For some reason, it felt like a mansion I had seen somewhere before.

“This is a familiar situation. Isn’t it, Hera?”

She smiled faintly.

“No. Should I call you Sowol so you’ll understand?”

He was clearly smiling, but inside he didn’t look happy at all.

Rather, it gave off a chilly feeling, as if it was engraved with cold frost.

“You…”

There were too many things to ask her in this absurd situation.

Who the hell are you?

And why did you tie up the teacher like that?

And why did you kidnap me here?

I opened my mouth with the intention of asking everything.

“What the hell is this out of the blue-.”

“I’ll only say this once, so listen carefully.”

But my words were cut off so easily by her voice.

“Your name is Hera, not Sowol. It would be better for you to drop the name Sowol when you’re with me.”

” in?”

“You were meant to be my wife.”

My eyes widened at her sudden confession.

“I loved you more than my life. You accepted me like that. Then all that was left for us was to get married.”

“Marriage? Huh? Wait… ”

I stared blankly into her eyes at the story that was much more serious than I had thought.

“But…it definitely happened..”

As she placed her hand on my shoulder, I could feel the anger coming from her heart.

“My bride… ran away one day and has been living like this, forgetting about me?”

“Hi.”

“Do you know how angry I am?”

“A little…?”

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I looked into her blazing eyes.

“So just follow what I say. Unless you really want to see me go crazy.”

She said that and then held out her hand to me.

It was clearly a hand that was reaching out for me to grab, but I couldn’t move.

Well, I was just dumbfounded by the ridiculous story.

Not only did he try to marry a woman who wasn’t even his husband, but he ran away right before the wedding.

Who would easily believe such a story?

Now that I think about it, Marie also said she was my daughter.

A daughter who wields mystical powers and was born alone out of a deep desire, and a wife who loves me more than her own life.

What on earth was I doing before I lost my memory?

I just couldn’t figure it out.

“Catch him quickly.”

She speaks quietly, still with her hands outstretched.

“Yes..yes!”

Her urging, full of pressure, made me run to her and grab her hand without realizing it.

Her hands felt warm and sturdy.

She just took my hand and started leading me into the mansion.

“Uh…Uh…”

“Say it.”

She gave me the answer without even looking at me.

“What is your name..?”

Only then did the woman stop walking and look at me in response to my question.

“Athena. Caladbolg.”

With a short answer, she pushed my bangs behind my ear and gave me a faint, pretty smile.

“Remember this person well, he or she will be your companion.”
