Episode 52

Translator : Missme Editor : Aru

Aside from the question of why the place is here, it was difficult to believe that it was unreasonable in many ways, so it must be a dream now.

‘I wasn’t going to sleep, but…..’

Did I doze off without realizing it?

Ha, you damned hallucinogen. It’s like a ghost.

It’s too late to blame. Seeing that nothing changes even if I realize it’s a dream, it seems that I can’t help it, as I did last time.

“Noonim.”

Then Ash called me. The calm voice shook my shoulders.

Is it a nightmare?

I didn’t know yet. However, at first glance, the composition and flow similar to that of the time caused my heart to rattle.

‘Please.’

I wasn’t confident of seeing Ash’s gaze again.

As in my last dream, I only checked with my side eyes that Ash was reaching for me, and soon closed my eyes.

Ash’s touch, which brushed my cheek, slowly moved to my neck.

The feeling was real. The body shrunk at the last memories as if it were carved on the body.

But the next one was a little different from what I remember.

Instead of strangling me, Ash’s hands lightly wrapped around the whole side of my neck.

I could be intuitively sure.

It’s different.

Not this one. It was a different dream than then.

I hold my breath.

The next moment, a very soft touch touched my lips.

>…….<

Chapter 5. Harvest Festival

I pulled the line immediately to inform people that Ash had awakened.

I then left the room that soon was crowded with doctors.

I said I would leave the room for a while because it was crowded, but I was in a hurry as if I were running away from the hallway.

I walked as far as my feet could reach, and it was a reception room inside the first floor.

I sat on any chair I could see, and then covered my face with both hands.

What is this?

My head was about to burst.

I couldn’t believe it.

In that dream, Ash to me–

“……crazy.”

A dream of kissing.

I lowered my head and hit my forehead on the table.

I lowered my hand, which was wrapped around my face, and touched my chest instead.

The heart throbbed loudly. It was crazy just to think back to my dream.

“…….”

I touched my lips and soon hit my forehead again on the table.

A painful groan came through my lips.

“That’s really crazy, Lydia….”

Why?

Why did I dream like that?

No, I actually knew the answer without asking.

The most desired things.

It was the dream that the hallucinogenic ingredient took out from the most desired things that were hidden deep inside me.

I didn’t know what that meant.

I couldn’t help not knowing.

My heart is about to burst just by briefly reviving the scene I saw in my dream.

“………ha.”

I raise my head. I felt a tingling sensation on my forehead, which I received from the table without mercy, but I didn’t care.

I felt indescribable.

It was just complicated, but on the one hand, it was daunting.

‘When was that?’

Since when have I been looking at Ash like that?

‘Although, I’ve been feeling attached to Ash for a long time.’

I cherish Ash.

I was worried when he got hurt, and I felt bad when I saw him overdoing himself.

I knew it was part of my affection.

……but I didn’t know that my affection was this kind of thing.

‘Am I crazy?’

I blocked my view with the back of my hand.

This is how it turned out, but it always like this.

I never thought of Ash as a family.

For as long as I remember, I have never considered myself as a family member even though I had a mechanical perception of being a brother and sister on paper.

Why was it? Was it because I realized the secret of my birth before Ash was born?

‘Maybe……’

In fact, the biggest reason might have been the pessimistic illusion that I would be abandoned as an adoptee because Ash, the real bloodline of the family, had been born.

Based on such anxiety, there was a part of me who inadvertently distinguished between me and Ash’s origins, and I was constantly aware of the fact that I was a family only outside and didn’t have a real relationship as a family by bloodline.

It’s like hoping for nothing and trying not to get hurt later.

As time went on, I found out that it was all my useless delusions, but it may have already been a reality as if it became a habit to distinguish between Ash and my birth.

Maybe that’s why. Ash has always been a stranger to me.

I’ve never seen him as a brother.

Always, every moment.

“Ha….”

I didn’t recognize him as a family, but we lived like a family. Then, inevitably, bonds built up.

This is the result.

I’m going crazy. So what the hell am I supposed to do with this?

I can’t even laugh.

I had to run away from Ash desperately. If I don’t run away, I’ll die in Ash’s hands.

In the meantime, I couldn’t truly know what to say about realizing this feeling.

‘Should I say I’m screwed?’

I’m surprised there was a way more damned.

How long have I been sitting so absent-mindedly in the parlour room with no one around?

Suddenly the parlour-room door burst open and Bessie appeared.

Bessie welcomed me as soon as she found me.

“Lady, you were here!”

“…… did you look for me?”

“There’s a man from the Imperial Palace.”

“What?”

Already?

I heard from Sir Davery that a man would come from the Imperial Palace to take the sinners.

But he said he wouldn’t be here until afternoon.

Even if he leaves early in the morning, he wouldn’t be arriving now, thinking about the distances.

Bessie added an explanation to my expression of doubt.

“Well, only the person in charge came first. The wizard accompanied him, so he must have used space-movement magic.”

“Really?”

‘Space-movement magic.’

As far as I know, the wizard who can use such real magical magic was a high-level wizard that was hard to find in all of The Empire.

There was no possibility of a dead sinner fleeing, so I wondered why he came in such a hurry.

‘And so are the living sinners.’

They’ve been tied up so tight.

‘Well, is it such an urgent matter?’

Well, treason is not something that can be taken lightly, either.

I pulled myself together and raised myself first.

“Where did you take him?”

I could know without hearing the explanation of why Bessie came looking for me.

If the person in charge is assigned to this issue, he must have a fair position in The Imperial Palace.

In order to welcome such a person, it was a basic courtesy for Ash to go out in person.

But because Ash was injured and couldn’t move now, I’m the only one left.

“This way.”

As the mansion was quite large, there were several places to entertain guests on the same first floor.

Bessie took me from among them to the parlour-room closest to the entrance.

And this “person in charge” was quite unexpected.

“Your Highness?”

“Princess, are you all right?”

I forgot to make courtesy and stared at my opponent with embarrassment.

In a limited indoor space called the parlour room, the Crown Prince radiating his presence in all directions.

It was so noticeable that I couldn’t think that I was misseeing it.

The crown prince even stood up as soon as he saw me.

I was perplexed for a moment at the scene of my vision.

‘The person in charge, is it The Crown Prince?’

I imagined a suitable high-ranking position in the imperial palace, but I never thought the Crown Prince would come in person.

I gave a courtesy belatedly and hurriedly.

“I greet The Little Sun of The Empire.”

“No need for greeting. More than that, I was surprised to hear that……..”

The Crown Prince, who shook his hands to dissuade me from bowing down, looked at my whole body as if he was observing.

Soon, a more relaxed voice came out as if he was relieved.

“I’m glad you seem safe.”

“……thanks for your concern.”

Soon after, I sat face to face with the Crown Prince in the middle of the parlour room.

As I sat down, I glanced at The Crown Prince’s side, and I saw a person standing silently.

‘The wizard who accompanied him?’

I guessed so because he was wearing a robe that came down to his ankle.

A neat brown robe without wrinkles felt like a symbol of a wizard.

What surprised me was that the wizard was a young woman.

I thought he might have come all the way here by using space-movement magic, so I thought he might be an old man wizard.

‘I think she’s around my age……or the Ash peer?’

Contrary to my expectations, I was more surprised to see The Crown Prince appeared here along with a young-woman wizard.

In many ways, it all breaks my expectations.

I turned my eyes to the Crown Prince and opened my mouth relatively calmly.

“I didn’t know you would come in person like this.”

“Really? But, I thought I couldn’t help it but come in person for this matter.”

“Oh, I’m not saying to think this matter lightly……”

“That’s not what I meant.”

‘Huh?’

When I looked at him, I wondered what he meant, then The Prince’s words continued.

“I felt like I wouldn’t be relieved if I didn’t check with my own eyes that the princess was safe.”

“…….”

“That’s the only reason.”
