Episode 135

Side Story 1. Summer Vacation (8)

‘What’s wrong with her?’

I narrowed my eyes to the unexpected response of Mrs. Tarien and peeked into the crystal ball.

However, unlike Mrs. Tarien, I could not see other people’s dreams, so I could only see fog.

“Oh, no. I’m sorry. I think I was mistaken for a moment.”

When I took my eyes off the crystal ball, Mrs. Tarien erased her embarrassed expression.

And with her eyes shining sharply, she stroked the surface of the crystal ball and looked at Cassius.

“Your Majesty, I’m so glad you seem to have a good dream recently.”

At her words, Cassius replied, raising one eyebrow.

“Did you see everything?”

“Not all of them. What I see is just a fragment of the most powerful dreams from the past to the present.”

Cassius nodded softly at the words of Mrs. Tarien, who spoke in a calm voice.

“But just by looking at this fragment, I can see for sure.”

Mrs. Tarien smiled and said. Her eyes, mixed with green and blue, were gently bent.

“Your Majesty has been very happy lately.”

Her kind smile warmed my heart.

‘Thank God.’

I always wanted Cassius to be happy.

Because he’s a person who deserves it, and the one I really like.

I was so happy every day with Cassius.

And he also wanted to spend happy days with me.

So I was relieved.

“That’s right.”

Cassius replied with a small smile at Mrs. Tarien’s words.

“I’ve been really happy lately, and I didn’t expect it to be revealed in my dreams.”

“Dream tells a lot.”

Mrs. Tarien replied with her eyes shining at Cassius’s words.

“Your dreams are quite intuitive and your feelings are well expressed in them.”

After hearing Mrs. Tarien’s explanation, I opened my mouth thinking it was amazing.

“Oh, does that differ from person to person?”

“Yes, we all have our own differences. Duke.”

Then she held the crystal ball in her hands and gave Cassius a slight glance.

“Is it okay if I show you your last week’s worth of dreams, Your Majesty?”

Cassius was surprised at her words and asked back.

“My dream?”

“Yes, not everything, just a week. It’s because I think the Duke should see it herself.”

“Wa, wait.”

Mrs. Tarien’s words made Cassius shake his hand, showing that Cassius was embarrassed, not like himself.

“I’m not ready yet.”

Seeing Cassius, who was red and restless until the end of his ears, I thought it was really suspicious.

“No, what did you dream about?”

“Yerine, this is nothing. It’s a dream you don’t have to wonder about. There’s not much to it.”

“Then it doesn’t matter if you show it.”

“That’s not true.”

Mrs. Tarien, who was staring at me and Cassius, opened her mouth in a clear voice.

“Your Majesty, how about taking a little courage?”

She smiled as she rolled her eyes, making it difficult to tell if her eyes were green or blue.

“The Duke will love it if you show her your dream. I’ll only show her the dream you had last night, so don’t worry.”

Cassius, who was trying to respond to the words, sighed and shut his mouth as if he had lost what to say.

“Okay, show it.”

He finally gave up, which made me happy.

‘Yay.’

I wondered what it was about to hide it like that.

If you see Mrs. Tarien trying to show me the dream of Cassius, you’ll see me in it.

‘What the hell did I dream of? I’m going to see him.’

Thinking so, I focused on the crystal ball, where the fog gradually clears.

Then, a voice that had not been heard until just now came from the crystal ball.

[Cassius, come here. Let’s make the route together]

[Wherever you want to go, I would like it.]

It was the voice of me and Cassius. More than that, that was the conversation we had last night. And on the crystal ball where the fog lifted, I was sitting on the bed and pressing Cassius.

“That’s what I wore yesterday.”

I murmured while looking at the crystal ball.

Apparently, I could see Cassius looking at me.

[Don’t do that, just tell me where you want to go. No, don’t push your face suddenly!]

I couldn’t resist the blatantly loud kisses voices and covered my mouth.

When I looked up, Mrs. Tarien looked at the crystal ball with a kind mother’s smile as if she was watching her child’s love.

Cassius had lost his soul.

“Well, as you can see, Your Majesty is having a very happy dream.”

Mrs. Tarien said, dragging the crystal ball back in front of her.

“I only see dream fragments, but I can see exactly how the dreamer feels. When you dream this, I thought Your Majesty was happier than anyone else.”

After hearing Mrs. Tarien’s words, I was deeply impressed.

“Wow, not only did you see other people’s dreams, but you could also see their feelings when they had the dreams.’

So Cassius was happily dreaming about what happened with me yesterday.

‘There are not only once or twice of quarrels, nor once or twice of kissing.’

I thought it was unexpected.

If a third party sees Cassius’s dream, it will be considered a daily routine of lovers, which is nothing special.

‘Don’t you usually dream about something that left a very strong impression?’

Or a dream of long-cherished wishes comes true.

“You must be very satisfied with your life these days because you are happy dreaming about what happened the previous day before.”

“I see…”

I replied with a slight nod.

Cassius looked down with his hands covered with his red face, seemed unable to answer Mrs. Tarien’s words.

“On top of that, the source of that happiness will be living with the Duke.”

“Hey, please. Please stop talking.”

Cassius waved his hands with a face that seemed to die of shame.

“It’s because I don’t think I’ll be able to endure it if you said more.”

Cassius’s voice, which said so, had no power in it.

I patted him on the back and said in a low voice.

“Well, I think enough has been told, so that’s enough.”

Cassius turned his head and asked me.

“What’s been told?”

There was nothing to say about the question.

This is because the more I thought about Cassius’s dream, the more complicated I felt.

It was complicated in my head and a corner of my chest was numb.

“Just, many things.”

Thank you for cherishing my daily life like that.

However, at the same time, feeling happy from such small things made me think that the wounds of the past when I had not been loved have still unhealed.

I’m still not used to being loved, so I thought if it’s okay if he puts a lot of meaning into what I call ‘our daily life.

“Yerine?”

I put my head on his shoulder, arm in arm with Cassius.

‘’I have to do better from now on.’

I should make him happier so that even a mere kiss shouldn’t even make him feel happy.

“Yerine, what are you doing all of a sudden? You lean on me first.”

Cassius looked back at me in embarrassment and asked.

“Oh, stay still. I do this because I like it. Because I like it.”

“Did I do anything good today?”

Cassius had a face as if wondering whether this was a dream or real, and Mrs. Tarien looked at him and smiled.

“You two have a good relationship. Good to see.”

Mrs. Tarien who said so spread the card in front of her.

“Now let’s look at the overall fortune.”

Card fortune didn’t take much longer than I thought.

Cassius’s fortune this year was very easy.

Mrs. Tarien explained that all he had to do was remember not to miss the opportunity to roll in.

My dream interpretation and fortune analysis were followed.

Mrs. Tarien told me that I don’t usually dream.

My most notable dream was to have a picnic with my friend at the Academy.

My card fortune was very good.

She said I will hear several good news this year.

“Well, that’s the end of the rough analysis. Please take this note, both of you.”

The two of us each took the note she gave us.

The note sealed with green wax was engraved with Mrs. Tarien’s shop seal.

“This is more detail about your dreams. You can go back and read individually or read together. I recommend reading them together as much as possible.”

“Okay.”

Cassius replied with a nod.

“Okay, thank you for using our store. Your Majesty, and the Duke. I hope you have a great time.”

She smiled at us with her head down and said.

“Thank you for reading our fortune today. I’ll come back next time if I have a chance.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I was preparing to leave the store like that.

“Oh, Your Majesty, I have a question.”

Cassius looked back at Mrs. Tarien’s voice.

“Ask me.”

Then Mrs. Tarien opened her mouth with slight hesitation.

“Have you had a bad dream a few years ago?”

Cassius opened his eyes wide as if surprised by her words.

However, a few seconds later, he cleared his embarrassment and answered in his usual voice.

“That’s the old days.”

Mrs. Tarien smiled rather broadly at the plain answer.

“You’ve grown up.”

She said, with her blue and green eyes.

“I’m so glad.”

***

“Yerine, I’m really grateful, and I really like it.”

“Yes, then?”

“You don’t have to hold me that hard.”

Coming out of Mrs. Tarien’s shop, I walked down the street with my arms wrapped around Cassius’s right arm.

When I was looking at Cassius, I thought I should continue to be nicer and I should be closer to him, so I couldn’t help it.

As a result, I clung to Cassius’s arm like a leech.

“I’m sorry. Does it hurt a lot? Let me relax my strength a little bit.”

“Yerine, I’m not running anywhere, you don’t have to hold me so desperately.”

“I know that, but I don’t want to lose my precious boyfriend in the crowd.”

“Well, maybe I’m too big to lose. That doesn’t seem to happen.”

“Oh, that’s enough. Just stay still. Not if you don’t like it.”

“No, I’m sorry. I’m actually so happy that I’m going to bleed, so please keep holding me.”

“Yes, you should.”

As soon as I stepped forward with elation, the stone beak struck the front of my feet.

“Argh!”

Because I only cared about Cassius, I couldn’t see what was in front of me.

In an instant, my ankle was slipped and I lost my balance.

If Cassius didn’t grab my back quickly, my knee would have been swept to the ground.

“Yerine, are you okay? Aren’t you hurt?”

Cassius asked, raising me up carefully in an urgent voice.

“Ouch, I don’t think so, ugh!”

I felt like I almost broke my ankle.

‘What the hell is this……’

My face was burning with shame, but Cassius had a serious face without a smile.

“No, let’s call a doctor.”

“No, I just sprained my ankle, no need to call a doctor.”

I was surprised and stopped Cassius.

“And I’m gonna get better soon. This will get better soon, so I can walk alone.”

“No, don’t walk today. It still takes hours for your ankle to get better.”

Saying so, Cassius hugged me.

All the eyes of the people around were on us, and I felt the heat coming to the end of my ears.

“Come on, hold on. Please drop me off! We’re not inside of the villa, we’re on a crowded street, and I’m heavy, so how can we go around like this?”

“It’s okay, you’re not heavy.”

“That can’t be true. You don’t have to do this, Cassius.”

But Cassius shook his head.

“It’s okay. It’s not heavy.”

His golden eyes looking down at me sparkled with warm light.

“And it’s because I like it.”

When I saw his bright smile, my heart seemed to stop.

And I only had one thought in my head.

‘Let’s get married.’

As of that day, eyewitness accounts spread throughout the Duke of Jacqueline that the Emperor of Tigris had been running around the business street holding Trump dearly.
