I thought it was likely brainwashing.
I thought that if it wasn't magic, I might have been able to find a psychological gap and continue to hypnotize myself.
'It wasn't like that.'
The way Fidelio used to subdue Iris was very simple and primitive violence.
It's so simple that I feel like I'm stupid.
Crazy guy.
No matter how much you hold the actual power of the Empire, you can't touch her body directly.
What you can't think of as being sane.
All
"Huhhhhhhhh.
I looked at Iris, who was shedding tears sadly.
On closer inspection, there was a thin mucus on her mouth, and the mucus gave off a rotten smell of food. ...a bad smell?
Rain looked back at the mucus on the bed sheet with his head tilted.
'Oh.'
Was the gastric juice backflowing? Using the power of perspective, I looked at Iris holding the blanket.
The top was untied, but the bottom was dressed in good condition.
A sigh of relief, unknowingly.
I did.
Immediately after sighing, Kangwoo crumpled his face and shook his head.
'No, it's not a relief.'
The fact that the gastric juice was beaten back is crazy in itself.
Either way, the fact that Fidelio touched the woman's body does not change.
When she heard about the capital city, her face came to mind.
Her eyes show her trembling as if she were shivering in the cold.
'I see.'
I see.
I closed my eyes slowly. The grim face of Douglas came to mind.
I could hear what he said in my head.
At least, I want you to know that it's not his fault.
I have too many things to think about. An unpleasant and sticky sensation clung to the body. "What, what? Who is it?"
Perhaps he heard a laugh, Iris wiped his tears and looked around his head.
Rain turned away from her.
At least you don't want to see this.
It was then.
"... Oh, rainfall?"
".......!"
The eyes of the rain grew bigger.
'How?'
He is now using the power of seclusion.
to exist
I don't know if it's like Kim Si-hoon, but Iris can't recognize him. "Oh Kang-woo, right?"
He turned his head. Iris' eyes looking this way can see a golden glow. 'Hi Elf's blessing.
covet the horse in the blood of the imperial family
underground strength
That's the only way she can recognize herself.
"Yes."
There's nothing we can do now that we've been caught. The rain relieved the power of concealment. The appearance of the rainfall was revealed in the room where the black darkness fell.
"You, you, you, you, you, why are you here..."
Iris looked at Kangwoo with trembling eyes.
She pulled the blanket to hide the bruises and looked at the rainfall.
I glared. "Since when have you been hiding?" "I just got here."
A deathly silence fell.
Iris said in a low voice with his head down.
"...get out."
Chew and scream while swallowing tears. "Get out! Get out! Get out of here right now!"
a nervous cry
The voice, mixed with madness, sounded somewhat pathetic.
Rain looked up. I can see the ceiling. What should I do? What should I do? Shall we start from the top? Oh, that must have been painful. Fidelio, what a piece of rubbish he is.
That's why I got so upset.
I am
Yes, yes, I understand. I've been through this and I can't help it.
Really
It must have been hard.
What's the point of such empty comfort?
What is the point of such a mere word of consolation?
Comforting her here is nothing but self-defense to relieve guilt.
'If this is the case.’
Even if the Fidelio is removed, the problem will not be solved.
Even if he dies, the memory of being beaten by him does not disappear.
It is not difficult to see Fidelio's eyes as she is unable to meet them properly.
Fear has already taken root in her soul.
'It's not going away.’
Her fear, engraved like a brand, does not go away.
She has to live with the terrible pain all her life.
It's already too late to handle. I was far behind at the latest. I can see Iris shaking pitifully.
I can see a woman who sheds tears with her body covered.
Then, should she live like that all her life?
Should we live our whole lives in fear and touch the scars that will not disappear?
......"
I squinted my eyes. There was one way. A way to solve the deep-rooted fear in Iris.
Tooth
'But.
Just for a moment, the conflict passed. It's hard to solve her trauma in a normal way.
In other words, the way that comes to mind now is not a normal solution.
The aftereffects are bound to be huge. The rain slowly closed its eyes.
What should I do?'
Should we let them hold the fear to their hearts for the rest of their lives?
'Or else.'
Should we take the aftereffects and remove the fear from her roots? "Why... why?"
I can hear the voice of Iris. She was trembling with her hands on her red swollen cheek.
The trouble wasn't long.
Open your eyes slowly. "Did Fidelio do it?" he asks, knowingly.
"What are you going to do? Didn't you hear to leave?! Get out! Get out of here!"
cried as sharply as a wounded animal.
Iris picked up the lamp on the shelf next to the bed and threw it at the rain.
Lightly strike.
Clang!
The lamp is broken. transparent glass shards
It spilled on this floor. "Please, please..."
There is a mixture of sobs.
Transparent tears flowed down Iris' cheeks.
"Get out, give it to me."
He begged.
I didn't listen.
I approached her slowly.
Stretching. Stuttering.
The low footsteps rang.
"What if I go out?"
With a deep, sunken look, he looks at her.
"What are you going to do next when you get out?"
"...what?"
Iris' eyes grew bigger.
Rather than talking down to him, he seems to be shocked by the content.
Did you think I could comfort you? Did you think I could sympathize?
'That's.'
That's nothing.
Can I really save you?
'What will you do next?' 'You, you!'
Iris' face twisted roughly.
"You're just going to let it go like this way?"
Wretched, terrified?
"You're done with nothing and you're done shivering?"
Iris shut her mouth tightly. She chewed her lips and opened her mouth in a trembling voice.
"Well... what am I supposed to do?"
Transparent tears flow through the cheeks. "What should I do? What should I do?"
shouted in a fit of fits The heavy rain grinned. 'What have you done so far?' '...what?'
"I know you've done terrible things to Fidelio."
**
by the way
"What did you do to get away?"
"I..."
You couldn't get away? Fidelio was in full power, so you couldn't help it?"
He twisted up his lips.
"No, it's not.
That can't be true.
"Power can't go to Fidelio like it's a palm off, can it?"
"Well, that's your brother..."
"Yeah, I know it happened because Reynald died. But after he died,
Did anyone really reach out to you? To you, who has the greatest power, the tradition of the imperial family?"
Iris didn't answer with a tight mouth.
"Yeah, well, let's say we can do that a hundred times, but if we did, we could at least tell Si-hoon, right?"
Kim Si-hoon's amazing military power must have been clearly seen with her eyes.
Kim Si-hoon must have known that he could save himself.
but
I didn't say. I didn't beg. I didn't take the chance. "Because you're scared?"
Afraid of Fidelio?
"For that reason, you didn't even grab a straw?"
The memory of hell comes to mind. The miserable, terrible memories of fear. Wouldn't he have been so scared. He must have been scared.
But he fought.
He drank the blood of the devil, chewed the flesh and swallowed it.
For victory, he abandoned everything.
" ...."
Once again, she was silent. Kangwoo, looking at her, clicked his tongue. "It's hard to talk nonsense like this." What he just said is sophistry.
That's nonsense.
'There's no way I can do that.’
What he is saying now is no different from going to the victim of the assault and asking why he was being beaten still.
Why do you think the victims of school violence cannot reach out to their parents or teachers?
As soon as fear settles in the mind, human beings become so helpless.
'But.'
That doesn't solve the problem. I can't get rid of the fear in her.
Iris should make herself think she was doing something wrong.
Otherwise, it will remain as an eternal victim.
He remains a loser with only a wound up.
To overcome fear, you must stand on your feet. "You just took it out on someone else."
He only mastered himself by venting his anger on the weak rather than himself.
"Oh, no."
Iris shook his head.
***
"I complained that I was so tired, that I was so distressed."
"No way!"
Iris howled.
Her eyes filled with life. Hatred began to sprout. 'That's right.'
The reaction was expected. "What's not it?"
"Well, that's..."
Iris was at a loss for words.
She bit her lips and trembled.
"I'm... so what am I supposed to do? What should I do?"
With his head down, he opened his mouth in a crawling voice.
Rain said with a tilt of his head.
"What do you want to do?"
"Tell me what you want to do most now."
'I know, you know.' Yes, I know.
I'm not stupid enough to not know that.
but
"Speak with your own mouth."
She has lived in the shadow of Reynolds all her life.
Even now, when he died, she was crouching behind his back.
He is shivering with fear. 'So.' She can't get out of there all her life.
There was a silence.
Iris shuddered and closed her eyes.
replied in a crawling voice
"I want to..."
I can't hear you.
"Revenge, I want to."
Iris said with his head down.
"Really?"
If then,
"Hope you."
"...what?"
The rain continued with a deep look.
"I beg you for help, kneel down and beg you, head over head."
Force.
To win,
Throw everything away. Iris' expression hardened.
"Why, does that hurt your pride again?"
"......."
Iris closed her eyes tightly.
It was time to open your mouth slowly.
Clang! "What, what? Why are you here..." I heard a voice from the doorstep.
the old man in comfortable clothes instead of the white priestly dress he usually wears.
I see
Fidelio glared at the rainfall in the room, dropping a bottle of liquor in one hand on the floor.
'Hwangnyeo, what's going on?' 'Oh, ah."
Iris' expression turned pale.
She shook her body with a snap.
"That's what I want to ask."
The rain turned.
Slowly he reached out and touched Iris' swollen cheeks.
"What have you done to Iris?"
Fidelio's body trembled slightly. Rolling his eyes, he soon replied in a calm voice.
"It's education."
Education?
It's called the rod of love. Don't you know how she behaved in this situation in Hwangseong?"
"Well, that's...!"
Be quiet."
Fidelio glared at Iris with his eyes open.
Trying to say something, she soon shook her body and bowed her head.
"The rod of love?"
Beat it until the gastric juice flows back.
Education?
There was a short silence. "Laughing." There was a smile coming out of Kangwoo's mouth.
I can't stand it, I burst. "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"I grabbed my stomach and laughed. "Wow, you're such a booger. You've got a great sense of humor."
Fidelio bit his lips and said in a nonchalant voice.
"It's not something that outsiders care about. It could be a bit radical, but it was inevitable for Iris to go in the right direction."
He went on, holding his chest, as if he were really in pain.
"I didn't want to do this to her. But... because I love her! She had no choice but to be beaten by the opposite woman."
"Oh, my God."
Did you get a steel plate on your face?
I was in pure admiration.
How could you come out like that without being so embarrassed in this situation?
The sound of dogs is also an art at this point.
Fidelio glared displeasedly at the rainfall.
He turned his head toward Iris and said,
"Tell us yourself, Lady Hwang. The reason why I had to hit her."
"Dear Iris."
Fidelio continued with a threatening clenched fist.
"You have to answer me, right?"
"Well, that's..."
Iris looked at the rainfall with a pale look. The heavy rain waited for her words without saying anything.
She continued with her head down, shaking.
"Eh, that's right. Fidelio, the Chancellor of the Exchequer... For... for me. You've had a hawk."
A pent-up voice came out. "Fidelio... Nothing, nothing's wrong... It's strong."
shudder pitifully
chew on one's lips "You've heard what she said, haven't you?Fidelio is here. He grabbed the heavy rain by the shoulder. "No matter how much you helped save the dame, it's still there.
I can't let this go.I didn't care.
"You don't know how much sinful it is to break into the lady's bedroom without permission?" he ignored.
The gaze of the rain was on Iris, who was shivering with blue.
There is no point in him reaching out more here.
From now on, it's her fight. "Iris."
If you want to win,
Throw it out.
The last remaining pride, the fear that weighs on you.
To the place where you've been hiding.
Iris' teeth bumped into me.
Fear of Fidelio, terrible memories encroached on her.
"Orabani."
a strong back that protected her
The days I spent hiding behind it, laughing and chatting.
But as soon as the light disappeared, it was her hands stained with greed.
So what have you been doing?
I couldn't argue back.
She didn't do anything. Did anyone really reach out to you?
It was here.
There was Douglas, with Reynald.
There was a party member who had a long adventure.
They reached out their hands.
But he didn't catch it.
Cowering, he was only terrified.
Why? Because you're scared?
It was scary.
I'm afraid more retaliation will come. I'm afraid it'll bring more pain.
So I didn't say. So I couldn't say.
We didn't fight.
I gave up fighting.
That's why you didn't even grab a straw?
"Ah, ah."
Grab his head. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
I can see the back.
Reynald's back.
protecting oneself, etc.
It's something I've never seen before.
Gently pass by.
"Do..."
She looked up at the rainfall with trembling eyes and said,
"Do, help me."
Kkkkkkkkkkkk. "That's a little short."
"........"
Iris slowly stuck her head on the floor.
He sobbed and opened his mouth again.
"Do, do, help... Please, please, please... Help me!"
That's right.
"Hwangnyeo, what are you talking about..."
Chin
He grabbed Fidelio by the wrist.
"The rod of love?"
I couldn't help it because I love you. Go?
"Fidelio."
I’ve got a bit of a confession to make.
"I love you, too. You bastard."
Pulling his arm.
Phew!!
The heavy rain struck Fidelio on the head.
