“I saw what I didn’t see, felt what I didn’t feel. There were two reasons for this. Either Luga was crazy, or it was because of a curse.

“Am I crazy?”

Is my mind completely gone because my head is in Carlos’s grasp?

“No, no, Loo. It’s not like that.”

Hayden smiled, shaking his head. He just smiled. It wasn’t a light, carefree laugh but a slow one, looking directly at her. The restless mind that had been leaping with anxiety instantly settled. Unconsciously, she nodded her head. Oh, that’s right. Then it must be because of the curse.

“If it were someone else, they wouldn’t want to jump to that conclusion so easily, but you figured it out right away.”

“I always…”

Loo wiped her lips and continued.

“Expect the worst. And it’s always as bad as expected.”

Or worse. So, considering only negative outcomes, she coolly evaluated which was worse among the worst. By listing situations she never wanted to experience again in her mind and thinking about them in various ways, she could at least prepare herself mentally.

“Loo.”

When the kids who felt something strange about their sister glanced this way and waved quickly, Loo waved back in that direction.

“From now on, whenever you face the worst situation you can experience, I’ll always be there, so don’t exclude me and consider it.”

Loo smiled weakly. Then, wouldn’t the worst be not having Hayden by her side? He had been visiting her relentlessly since she started staying at Grea Palace again.

Suddenly, he would come and see her face for just five minutes. Hayden gradually occupied much of Loo’s daily life, and Loo became accustomed to such a routine. No, if a little more time passed, it was clear that it would become natural.

“I always think, Loo, am I not warm enough?”

Even today, when he came after calling her, should he make more effort? How could he make an effort to reassure her? He looked at the anxious Loo and pondered.

“No, it’s not that you’re not warm enough.”

Hayden grabbed both of her hands and put down the sword he had been holding. Even at the palace, Loo never neglected physical training and studying.

A man who made a woman, who had only thought about revenge and retaliation all day long, gradually look back, grabbed both of her hands, and lightly pulled her closer. As Loo walked along with his pull, she said,

“I’m not warm enough for myself.”

Because she had repeatedly lost, even though she knew it wasn’t her fault, the fear of loss, vividly remembered several times, instigated anxiety, despite knowing that it wasn’t her fault.

She lost her parents, and then she lost Hayden. She couldn’t remember it well when they separated, but it must have hurt a lot. Then she lost her strength. Lost strength, lost honor, and lost everything she had built up.

Then, suddenly, everything was given back to her like a gift. It poured down like rain from the sky. Parents, plus two siblings she didn’t know were born, a comfortable home and warmth, and Hayden, who gave her back everything.
The English translation of the provided Korean paragraph is as follows:

I felt anxious for no reason at the thought that if too many precious things accumulated, they might be taken away again. The occasional headaches and unfamiliar sensations brushing against my head kept intensifying that anxiety.

“Then just trust me. Don’t think about anything else, not even about yourself, just me. Huh? It’s okay. It’s probably because a monster wave erupted in the south.”

Hayden took her into the shade.

“The sage has been absent for a long time, and being tied to a curse, it’s natural for mana to fluctuate. Emperor Caleta is quite restless, so sensations are somewhat shared.”

“How did you know that a monster wave erupted in Caleta?”

Instead of answering, he grinned. Strangely, even though he didn’t explain accurately, Loo’s trust in his abilities inexplicably increased. After all, wouldn’t an emperor of a country have eyes even beyond the wall?

“…Sometimes, I get a slight headache.”

“That’s also because of the curse.”

Hayden nodded.

“Is it hurting elsewhere?”

“Yeah, just a slight brushing pain in my head, not severe.”

“Even for such trivial things like now, tell me. You don’t have to worry about anything. There’s nothing to worry about outside, inside, or with yourself. Just trust me a little.”

As she sat down as he indicated, Loo looked at him hesitantly and then smiled.
The English translation of the provided Korean paragraph is as follows:

“I sometimes don’t understand.”

“What again, you tiresome girl.”

Why is it so hard to understand, and why are there so many difficulties? It wasn’t frustration, but rather, it felt painful and bitter inside. Rustica Genesis, who had experienced too many things she shouldn’t have, was hurt. Hayden gave her a wry smile while gently stroking her cheek. What is it that she can’t understand?

“How can you like me so much?”

He lowered his head and sighed.

“Why?”

“Just because.”
