“Lausanne Arstans?”

There’s just one particular person round me and Demimore who focuses on romance. It was a reputation that hadn’t been on my lips for a very long time.

Though we couldn’t meet usually, we used to trade letters repeatedly. Nonetheless, these days, we hadn’t even been ready to try this.

“…Is she doing nicely?”

I requested about Lausanne’s well-being, albeit a bit late.

Demimore chuckled softly, as if discovering my awkward face amusing.

“She’s doing very nicely. Nicely, His Majesty was planning to seek out her a husband, so she was feeling pissed off and irritated, however because of Cameron falling ailing, that received postponed.”

“So Cameron has been useful in some methods.”

“Haha. Nicely, Cameron does take excellent care of her, in his personal approach.”

Taking excellent care of her, huh?

I wished to object to Demimore’s phrases, however after I considered what Cameron had achieved to me and Demimore, I might vaguely guess the factors for “excellent care.”

Anyway, Demimore simply casually talked about it earlier, however Cameron appeared to be in a extra severe situation than I assumed.

Nonetheless, I used to be extra curious than fearful about why he was sick, what his precise situation was.

Nonetheless, Demimore appeared surprisingly reluctant to speak about it.

“Is she nonetheless writing?”

As a substitute of citing Cameron, which might solely make the ambiance uncomfortable, I requested about Lausanne.

Come to think about it, it has been fairly a very long time since I learn Lausanne’s novel.

There had been many issues occurring, however I nonetheless harbored the hope that Lausanne was nonetheless writing. Nonetheless, Demimore’s failure to reply instantly made me anxious.

“I’m unsure. She hasn’t talked about writing since then. We talked about it as soon as earlier than. She stated there was nobody to learn her work, so the enjoyable of writing disappeared.”

“Oh…….”

Upon listening to Demimore’s response after some contemplation, I felt an inexplicable sense of guilt so lowered my head.

I hesitated in my response as a result of I used to be fearful that it is likely to be due to me. After I considered it calmly, I couldn’t fully blame myself.

Nonetheless, I couldn’t assist however really feel bothered by the truth that Lausanne had stopped writing as a result of there was nobody to learn her beloved tales.

“Don’t blame your self an excessive amount of. I heard she had taken an curiosity in flower preparations not too long ago.”

“…Princess Lausanne?”

Demimore laughed awkwardly. I remembered the time when Lausanne stated she was uninterested in taking a look at flowers due to His Majesty’s obsession with greenhouses.

I remembered it clearly as a result of Lausanne, who’s often elegant and delightful to the purpose the place one may suppose that’s what a real woman seems like, spoke in an unusually tough method.

“Nicely, tastes change, you recognize.”

“I want Princess Lausanne would proceed writing…”

Lausanne appeared glad when she was writing.

She most likely turned upset when the Emperor introduced up the topic of marriage as a result of that meant she wouldn’t have time to write down anymore.

In spite of everything, no noble would welcome his spouse being locked in a room, writing.

It will be higher if she ended up with Gilbert, identical to within the authentic story… No, there isn’t any authentic story. However why did they embody the story of Gilbert and Lausanne’s engagement?

“So, Mary, it’s as much as you to persuade her to start out writing once more. If her solely reader needs it, for positive she’ll attempt to write once more?”

“However…….”

“Apart from, Princess Lausanne already feels a refined sense of guilt in the direction of you. For those who make the request, she’ll be genuinely glad.”

Demimore tried to steer me and it sounded convincing.

If I have been to ask Lausanne to write down once more, it would alleviate the awkwardness and discomfort that lingered between us.

“Do you may have any concepts in thoughts?”

“Write a narrative in regards to the saint who tried to flee the God of Demise.”

Demimore observed my constructive ideas and spoke with pleasure.

“Give it some thought. The saint who wished to guard the individuals who suffered by the hands of the God of Demise. If we included the illustration of the saint from the appeal my mom had, it could be fairly convincing, wouldn’t it?”

“Hmm…….”

“Those that learn the story will naturally understand the saint and Arsene as noble beings, whereas seeing the God of Demise as a creature to be averted. After which, those that search the God of Demise will naturally disappear.”

“However will individuals imagine the novel?”

“Nicely, there’s already substantial proof, isn’t there?”

“Huh?”

“This village itself.”

Demimore’s phrases made me leap to my toes.

“You imply this village?”

“It’s not as far-fetched because it appears. We are able to flip it right into a resort like Tahata…”

“That is the sanctuary of these individuals. Take into consideration the injuries they’ve endured.”

This place was like a sanctuary the place individuals who have been virtually harmed by the God of Demise gathered and lived.

Demimore’s suggestion to show this place right into a resort or vacationer attraction made me react with frustration. I caught Arsene’s refined response.

In spite of everything, he was the guardian of this village.

As he stared at Demimore with none seen expression, making it laborious to find out what he was pondering. He appeared displeased nevertheless it’s not as unhealthy as I anticipated.

“I get it, Mary. Settle down, that was a rash of me. My mom was additionally from this village.”

Demimore took a step again from my protest. Till now, every part he had stated appeared like a solution to the dilemma I had been dealing with. Nonetheless, I felt hesitant about exposing the village. Aside from that, it didn’t appear to be a foul thought.

“My mom felt the identical approach. Though she wasn’t born on this village, she nonetheless thinks of this as her hometown. However give it some thought. So long as this village continues to exist, the God of Demise can solely be seen as a terrifying presence.”

“Though which may be true…”

“I at all times wished my mom might go outdoors the palace. However she was too afraid and by no means ventured out. Mary, will it’s the identical for the individuals on this village?”

Demimore started to steer me earnestly..

Listening to Demimore’s phrases, I couldn’t assist however surprise if maintaining the village individuals confined to this place was really of their finest curiosity.

It might be seen as safety, nevertheless it is also seen as isolation. I considered Jenny, who was born on this village and believed it was every part.

Jenny, the younger youngster who fortunately ate the bread and snacks Arsene introduced from outdoors.

Nonetheless, if we have been to take the village individuals outdoors, wouldn’t the skin world develop into one other supply of worry for them?

“To try this, we want Arsene’s permission and his assist.”

So, I quietly left the choice in Arsene’s fingers. It was truly the proper factor to do.

Demimore checked out Arsene expectantly. Arsene scratched his cheek together with his tongue, showing deep in thought.

“I instructed Mary final time too, however I’ve no want to resolve my issues by her.”

“It’s not simply your drawback.”

“I do know, I’m conscious.”

Arsene abruptly stood up from his seat and walked briskly in the direction of the window.

He leaned towards the wall together with his arms folded and stared in silence on the sky, the place the solar had lastly settled, turning it an odd mixture of orange and pink.

His face was imbued with an indescribable depth of regret.

What number of occasions had Arsene witnessed the dawn and sundown? What unerasable regrets had he held onto all these years?

“Will individuals really see her as stunning?”

After an extended silence, Arsene posed a query to us. It was a query that neither Demimore nor I might simply reply.

Arsene didn’t appear to count on a selected reply from us both.

“I, too, was afraid that folks would neglect her, so I made her face right into a appeal and had individuals carry it round. I instructed her story to individuals every single day, not simply to the individuals on this city however to many others as nicely. In fact, nearly all of those that obtained her assist have been the individuals on this city, in order that they regarded her as a noble saint. Nonetheless, within the minds of those wretched people, you don’t have any thought how she was modified. She had develop into a depraved girl possessed by the God of Demise. There have been even options to exile her for not being a correct saint. And criticisms arose relating to the god she worshipped.”

Arsene hesitated as he spoke his lengthy story. His voice was uninteresting, however his anger in the direction of these individuals might be felt.

“What worries me is that if her story begins circulating amongst individuals, there could also be unworthy people who will speak about her recklessly.”

Demimore pursed his lips as if he wished to say one thing, however then hung his head in resignation.

Arsene, who seemed no older than Gilbert, had a gaze in the direction of us that appeared to include numerous feelings we’d by no means totally comprehend in our lifetime.

“So I’m going to consider it some extra.”
