Episode 84

Startled, I waved like a fish and pushed Iker away, but his body did not budge like a wooden stone.

“Oh, sorry, were you surprised?”

He stepped back and frowned.

I was really irritated.

I was expecting to some extent that my proposal would not be accepted, so I couldn’t help but feel bad.

I can’t believe I ran into Iker in this situation.

‘This leech-like prince….’

What are you? Liu Bei?

Of course, I’ll be surprised. Maybe I’ll curse also. But if I had actually spit that word out of my mouth, I would have been cut off on the throat for insulting the Imperial Family, so I clenched my teeth and treated him with courtesy.

But he didn’t, and he took a risky shortcut and guided the way.

‘That bastard.’

Now that I see it, I’m sure he did it on purpose to make a mess of me.

It was also a moment that burned with anger.

After leaving the capital, I began to feel drowsy, and my eyelids were heavy.

“Yerine, get some sleep. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”

I nodded slightly, but I still don’t know if Cassius saw it.

Then he came over to my side seat and covered me with a blanket.

“Now, sleep leaning against here.”

Without answering, I fell asleep, and my consciousness sank into the darkness.

***

Inside the rattling carriage, Cassius sat still and looked out the window.

The sun was setting before he knew it.

The red-coloured sky was really beautiful.

Cassius, enjoying the red colour, turned his head and looked at the sleeping Yerine, leaning against his shoulder.

Sleeping with her mouth slightly open, she looked comfortable.

‘That’s a relief.’

Cassius was worried that she might wake up with another nightmare, but luckily she didn’t seem to have it today.

Soft purple hair brushed against his fingertips.

Behind the long eyelashes would have been the red and purple eyes that Cassius loved so much. With confidence, her eyes twinkling with confidence.

‘I’ll never lose you.’

Let him take away things that have been taken away.

But he won’t stay still any longer.

Cassius vowed to himself, clenched his fist in his hand on his lap.

Surely, he’ll protect it this time.
