The reminiscences of my previous life as Ha Sohee have change into hazy now.

Even when Jung Seulbi hadn’t appeared earlier than me as Tia Blua, that identify wouldn’t have held a lot significance for me.

Maybe, if I had continued to dwell like this, feeling the love from my household, whether or not that is the unique story or not, this state of being might need been sufficient.

The seemingly irresponsible assertion that solely time is the reply might be the best comfort that those that have skilled everlasting time may give.

Nevertheless, how can we deal with issues that even the buildup of everlasting time can not resolve?

For instance, an obsession with a sure individual, or the will to guard that individual from that obsession.

So, is that why that individual retains showing in my goals?

Might it’s that at the same time as a god of demise, he, being a god himself, knew that forgetting is a present? Nevertheless, he gave me a punishment that wasn’t actually a punishment?

I continually carried the thought that sometime, these individuals I beloved would abandon me like shadows at my toes.

Due to the god of demise, I noticed that the passage of time was not the reply, however moderately a way of helplessness.

Like a ship that has misplaced its sail, simply drifting with the stream of the waves. He stated it was one thing he did as a result of he beloved her, as a result of he beloved me.

What’s love? If I had been to ask 100 individuals, 100 completely different definitions could be given.

Even Demimore and Arsene in entrance of me proper now would give completely different solutions.

If I had been to affiliate one thing with the phrase “love” proper now, Grand Duke Estin, my father, involves thoughts.

I continually doubted and resent him, however wanting again now, what he confirmed me was unwavering love.

He didn’t concern falling into the curse at my place, and he was prepared to endure all of the curses of our household for the sake of his youngsters.

Once I consider the love he confirmed me, the definition of affection is wanting to guard and cherish the opposite individual. Somebody who was there for me each time I had a nightmare…

I remembered the picture of my father, whom I noticed for the final time. Tia Bluea was beside him. It pained my coronary heart.

Throughout my time right here, Tia Blua was in all probability by his facet. If that’s the case, would he really feel much less lonely with out me?

If what he confirmed me was his definition of affection, I didn’t need him to really feel extra lonely and depressing as a result of I used to be gone.

Sure, maybe it’s higher that he misplaced his reminiscences. Leaving my father when his reminiscences had been intact would have been too tough.

I might need stayed inside his fence, continually fearing once I could be pushed away.

Simply as he confirmed me love, I even have love to point out him.

“Mary, are you crying?”

Misplaced in my ideas, with each of them in entrance of me, I ended up shedding tears occupied with my father within the Grand Duchy. .

This is the reason I attempted not to consider him. I attempted so onerous not to consider him, however right here I’m.

Seeing my tears, Demimore got here to me and checked out me anxiously.

I couldn’t assist however chortle on the sight of Demimore standing in entrance of me with an expression that appeared to say that he was in additional ache, although I solely shed a number of tears.

I calmly tapped Demimore’s chest with my fist.

“It’s okay, it’s simply that seeing you all of a sudden jogged my memory of residence…….”

“I don’t know for certain, however they appear to be doing nicely in their very own means. Nicely, I’m an outsider, so I received’t be aware of all the main points, nevertheless it looks as if they’re doing fantastic.”

“Yeah, that man, Logan, appears fantastic too.”

“I heard this too, however apparently, the Conler Knights’ navy energy has been at its peak since its founding. Vice Captain Hestia is totally operating the present. There’s a fuss in different knight orders as a result of they wish to be taught her coaching strategies.”

“Hestia is one thing else, actually.”

I burst out laughing at Hestia’s story.

Pondering of her, along with her high-tied hair, shouting slogans, the longing grew stronger.

I used to be bothered by not with the ability to meet her correctly in the long run, however listening to that she’s doing nicely put my thoughts relaxed.

“, Mary.”

“Yeah?”

“To get again to what we had been speaking about earlier……. I didn’t come all this fashion as a result of I assumed you had been pitiful, however as a result of I imagine in you. Quite the opposite, it’s as a result of I belief you and wish to allow you to with the issues it’s worthwhile to do. You could not notice it, however everybody within the Grand Duchy is doing their half of their respective positions in your sake. However possibly as a result of I’m not very intelligent or as a result of I can’t actually grasp the state of affairs you’re in… I simply don’t know what I ought to do for you.”

As I confirmed a smile, Demimore appeared to realize just a little braveness and commenced talking in a decided voice. I wasn’t unaware of Demimore’s emotions.

I used to be experiencing the identical feelings that Demimore was feeling proper now. Is it as a result of my thoughts is clouded, or is it actually tough for anybody to objectively perceive the state of affairs I’m in proper now?

Might Demimore actually assist me on this complicated state of affairs?

In keeping with Arsene, he allowed him to remain right here as a result of he may actually be of assist.

Actually, can Demimore be of any assist?  I leaned my head again, pursed my lips, and contemplated, however Demimore’s face all of a sudden appeared in entrance of me.

“Are you occupied with it?”

“You scared me!”

With out realizing it, I pushed Demimore’s face away with my hand.

Is it acceptable to deal with a prince of a rustic like this? Nevertheless, Demimore’s expression seemed cheerful.

“If I can’t be of assist, I can not less than clear beside you.”

“…You’ll be able to clear?”

“Isn’t it so simple as utilizing a brush or one thing?”

“…….”

“Or we are able to simply chat…”

As I checked out Demimore with an expression of disbelief, his pouty silver hair seemed lovely.

There aren’t many moments when Demimore seems like a youthful sibling. That’s why my coronary heart is weakened.

“……Thanks.”

“Are you going to let me keep right here?”

I couldn’t refuse Demimore any longer as he persistently checked out me with eyes that resembled a pet begging its proprietor for a stroll.

Nicely, Arsene stated he might be useful, so…

Once I turned my gaze in the direction of Arsene, he was shaking his head as if he anticipated this final result. What’s with him?

He was the one who stated Demimore might be useful!

“Nicely, then you definately’ll sleep in the identical home as me.”

Arsene stored watch over me in his canine type till I fell asleep after which went again to the neighboring home.

Figuratively talking, it meant that he would solely sleep there and spend most of his schedule with me. Though he appears to be busy in the course of the day…….

“I received’t sleep right here.”

“That is Mary’s home.”

“Oh…….”

Demimore, who was protruding her lips as if feeling considerably disillusioned, reluctantly nodded at Arsene’s urging.

“I’ve a query. So, what’s the connection between Mary and the God of Loss of life?”

“How do you know?”

“I simply had a hunch whereas listening to my mom’s tales. The one that’s been tormenting you is the God of Loss of life.”

How a lot does Demimore’s mom really bear in mind?

The truth that she, too, may change into a sufferer of the God of Loss of life felt surreal.

The person who had lived with an obsession to own a sure girl for a very long time.

And to keep away from that man she created a village and obsessively surrounded it magic boundaries defending it for therefore lengthy together with Arsene.

“In order that girl is you, proper?”

“Yeah, however I’m not totally certain. What that man actually desired wasn’t me, however ‘that girl.’”

He was much more insane than I assumed.

Demimore murmured in a dry voice. Every time he was too offended, he would paradoxically change into calm and composed.

Even in entrance of Rex, who had behaved rudely in the direction of him, he remained composed.

He appeared to already know every thing about “Yusa” from what he heard from his mom.

Demimore gave the impression to be misplaced in thought after listening to our story.

“How can we eliminate the God of demise…….”

“If Arsene regains his power, there is likely to be an opportunity.”

Even when he had nearly misplaced his energy, the God of demise tried to keep away from him. Arsene had barely managed to take care of his human type, and he was at the moment striving to regain his full energy.

“Or we are able to make it tougher for the God of Loss of life to assemble extra energy.”

“How?”

“By making individuals not concern the God of Loss of life.”

“That’s not a straightforward job. Individuals are afraid of demise… even your mom is afraid of the God of Loss of life.”

“What my mom fears is just not the God of Loss of life. It’s the ‘individual’ who tried to push her into demise.”

Demimore’s phrases seemed like a fallacious argument., but he sounded convincing.

“Let’s make the God of Loss of life laughable as an alternative of feared.”

“However how can we make the God of Loss of life laughable?”

“He’s already laughable. Dwelling like that is due to one girl.”

“That’s true, however…”

I felt like I knew what Demimore needed to say, but I additionally felt like I had no clue in any respect.

I glanced at Arsene, questioning about his ideas. He was merely Demimore with an expression of curiosity.

“And we’ve a storyteller specializing in such romances round us, don’t we?”
