Chapter 442

Chapter 78. If you come into my area (4),

you will feel refreshed.

The energy, which feels very similar to the magical energy that formed in my hands, is somehow unfamiliar. I was vaguely concerned about that and vaguely came to my senses.

‘...... clean.’

I hear a voice.

The smell of blood from the body and clothes disappears.

Only then did I feel the familiarity that had remained unchanged in the unfamiliar energy. The magical energy similar to mine that bothered me was definitely unfamiliar, but the magic created by that magical energy was familiar.

Actually, there weren’t many times when I was happy with something familiar. That is, until the comfort that came from Lucy’s warmth and the peace that came from Anne’s noise began to feel familiar.

The knocking on the door started off hesitantly and then got louder and then there was no sound. On very rare occasions, the sound of a violin could be heard quietly from somewhere. The sound of the gentle wind blowing outside the open window, shaking the young leaves.

That was all the joy I felt until then.

The blue haired crazy wizard casted it for the first time and I received it for the second time today, but instead of the unfamiliar magic that was still unfamiliar to me, I suddenly felt happy about the familiar magic that I couldn’t even count how many times I had received it even with my forgetful mind.

So I woke up. Because it’s familiar and nice.

‘Has anything been confirmed?’

However, in inverse proportion to my familiarity, I heard an unwelcome voice, so I closed my eyes again.

I’m never grateful for fixing me, but I feel like I should say thank you for fixing me and saving my life. But rather than saying those words out loud, I think it would be better to just sleep like this for 30 or 50 years. But if that happens.

‘yes.’

Because it was clear that the voice that had been changed like that would not come back.

Should I open my eyes? Should I not float?

I’ve been thinking about it for a while.

‘I will kill you.’

I heard these words:

So in the end, I had no choice but to open my eyes.

Meanwhile, an unfamiliar voice was heard again.

‘All.’

That voice is truly amazing.

The words spoken in that voice are even more shocking.

– Sreuk.......

I barely got up and sat down, holding on to the familiar ceiling of the familiar carriage spinning in an unfamiliar way.

How much time had passed before I let go of the leash? Looking at the talking piglet, I wonder if it’s time to take another drink off the leash and put a muzzle or gag on it.

I can’t rest at ease because of my little brother who frequently shows his teeth here and there.

So, I opened my mouth first.

When I had so much to say, something that could be called a sound finally came out of my silent mouth.

“wait.”

do.

At those words, my younger brother stopped walking.

He turned his head and looked distantly.

I saw those eyes.

And I found out right away.

What went wrong?

‘...... under.’

Why was the magical energy wielded by my younger brother so unfamiliar? Why was that voice so bad? The reason why the bright red eyes that were so familiar and a little welcoming had an overly distant glow.

It was only then that I realized it.

“I don’t know how much longer you want me to wait.”

The reason my younger brother didn’t take my side before going to sleep wasn’t because he was busy going back to being a king and then a prince over and over again. That’s not it.

It was because he was busy trying to come back.

But in the end,

“... I don’t like it.”

That I couldn’t come back after I left.

Having gone back, I have gone back forever.

– Tick tock tick tock.

It’s not that the leash came off as time passed, but that the clock inside my brother turned backwards and the leash disappeared.

“Kali...”

I was about to call him out, but when I realized it, I shut my mouth.

The person standing in front of me now is not the person my younger brother used to call out and pass on as if he was putting on a play. Like in a play, my younger brother is not someone I can call out and pass on to others.

On the contrary, he is a ‘ghost’ who inherited my younger brother.

Then what should I call that ghost?

Since I don’t know that, I’m afraid I might have answered wrong again.

– Jump and jump.

There was a sound of footsteps that I was no longer familiar with. Before long, the sound of the carriage door opening and closing was heard. I couldn’t help but listen to that little noise.

I can’t even call it again.

I can’t even get up and hold on.

– Tik Tok.

– Tick tock tick tock.

I turned my head.

I see a pocket watch.

A pocket watch I got from my younger brother. The watch was so noisy that I pulled out the crown to prevent time from passing after receiving it, and then pressed the crown again a while later. Before I knew it, time had stopped again.

– Tick tock tick tock.

There was no sound from the watch on the nightstand with the crown removed. Still, I could hear time passing, as if my head was buzzing. I had the illusion that the sound of a clock was coming from a clock that had stopped running that my younger brother was holding.

Were you holding that watch?

What were you thinking when you held that in your hand?

Did I try hard not to upset my time? Should time stop to return to the present? Should time pass to return to the present? How can I get out of the nightmare on my own? Did he worry about how to wake up from a nightmare where he was locked alone with no one to wake him up?

What did I hear and see when I went back to the past?

Until I just entered the carriage, until I paid for the treatment with white roses, until I said thank you, until then, it was clearly ‘Kalian’.

Since then, I’ve been alone, what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, what I’ve thought of, and what I’ve thought about from the time I fell asleep until I woke up again at the end of the day. Because I was so scared.

Did he eventually go back and never come back?

‘are you okay.’

I should have said that. I should have done it. I should have done something.

It all doesn’t matter now.

‘Try to keep it that way from now on. I will bless you.’

okay.

Just like it used to be. Just do the same thing as before.

– Jump and jump.

I just have to protect it somehow.

All you have to do is protect it somehow.

I thought that no matter how I did it or what I did, all I had to do was keep it alive. I thought it didn’t matter anymore what the method was.

– Jump and jump.

So I stopped moving forward.

I got out of the carriage and turned around. I walked back the way I had walked.

That was the path I walked.

– Multi-faceted, multi-faceted.

– ...... Jeopuk.

however.

Me, who was going around like that.

– Oh, I found it.

An unexpected gesture towards me.

The hand gestures that come across me.

By calling them out.

– I was worried that you might have gone down this path.

He called me as I was lost and heading back. Stand in front of me, face me and call me. You brightened the dark path I was walking on alone and called to me.

– A caring prince.

Under a name that is neither Bern nor Calian.

For calling me by that name.

“...... Hina.”

I stopped walking.

I stopped without realizing it.

Then, I raised my fingernails and closed my fist. This was because I was wondering what would happen if I couldn’t feel anything in my palm when it touched the tips of my fingernails. I couldn’t figure out on my own whether the sudden light I encountered in a place like this was a lie, an illusion, or a nightmare.

But it hurt.

It definitely hurt.

Hina has arrived.

Without even having time to be surprised by that, I ran forward without even having time to wonder if Ronil, like Chase, might be a fake. No matter how I looked at it, I ran towards Hina, who was getting off a horse with a platinum color and the prettiest name in the world.

“How did you come? Why are you here? How are you here?”

– My brother contacted me, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t connect. I called again, but there was no answer, so I waited for a long time, but there was no word. I’m worried about that. My brother has never been like that.

Hina pointed to the communication earring. Because magic goes out of the shield, but cannot come in. Because of this, he received a communication from Kirie, but was unable to connect, so he seemed to have come to visit him himself.

Hina like this.

– I thought if I told the corps commander, he would ask me to come with him. But I heard that the corps commander is not allowed to come. So, like that over there...

Hina, who was talking, looked back.

Only then did I see the black horse that had been hidden in the darkness. Only then did I see the black chain armor that had been hidden in the shadow of the trees.

-Snap!

The sound of a heavy sword was heard late.

– I asked the Little Duke to come with me for a moment.

Demirea greeted Calian, who was walking with an absurd expression on his face, from a long distance away and without approaching any further.

After nodding my head in greeting, I looked at Hina again.

He said, looking down at his pitch-black eyes full of worry.

“Kiri is fine. I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong.”

– What about other people? Is everyone okay?

“Yeah. Nothing’s going on. Everyone...”

While saying that.

I suddenly felt relieved.

“...... Hina.”

I thought Hina was there.

Because I realized that one thing. Unfortunately, only now.

“Hina... Hina.”

I forgot that there was a wonderful fiancé on a black horse bigger than Raven, I forgot what I was on my way back to, and I forgot who I was pointing my blade at.

“I had a nightmare... I thought I would be okay now, but I had the nightmare again.”

Forget everything.

That it wasn’t okay.

I answered like that.

– So it hurt again?

Hina has never forgotten what she said about how it hurts when she has nightmares. I looked at Hina like that and nodded. I kept nodding my head several times.

“It hurt. I was scared and scared... It hurt.”

I finally felt reassured by the pat that made it impossible for me to hide anything. I couldn’t even hide it and told it all.

Because Hina came.

Because Hina is there.

– It’s okay now.

There is light.

Even though you probably don’t know that I’m not saying this because I’m hurt. Even though it must have been difficult to come all the way here while treating the Balkan soldiers.

-There is no need to be scared. A kind prince is better.

Hina, who knew nothing, said this.

I ended up laughing at the words spoken as if comforting a child.

– Don’t come when you’re sick, come when you’re sick. Ask them to come and get treatment at the right time. Don’t forget I’m here.

I ended up crying while trying to answer the question of not forgetting.

“......huh.”

Like a child.

Like a child who woke up from a scary dream and finally relaxed.
