“When I came before, the feeling of the forest is different. Is this also your influence?” In response to Lacrahann’s question, Vercheria looked around with a new perspective. “It seems so. My power affects not only people but also plants and animals.” “So all the living beings on this land are influenced by you.” “Yes.” Although the weather was cold enough for breath to be visible, everything else was stable. The grass under the snow exuded a fresh energy, and the trees emitted a strong presence. “It’s my first time in this northern region, so it feels fascinating.” As Vercheria walked forward, Lacrahann’s palm lightly brushed against the back of her hand. Vercheria reached out, gently clasping Lacrahann’s pinky finger. Surprised, he looked at her, and she shyly lowered her head. Lacrahann, still holding her finger firmly, lifted her hand and pressed his lips on the back of it. “When we go back, I want to have a wedding ceremony first.”
Firmly pressing his fingertips, he lifted the back of her hand, pressing his lips firmly onto it.
“When we go back, I want to have a wedding ceremony first.”
Vercheria felt her lips tingling for no apparent reason and bit them with white teeth.
“It’s okay if the marriage still involves using me, and as promised, you can end it anytime.”
Lacrahann still wanted to consider that she was not an ordinary person. She was the goddess of weather, Vercheria, who understood the weight of her name, hoping that Lacrahann would not be an obstacle amid the variables that might arise.
“So, when we go back, will you marry me again?”
Vercheria took a deep breath. In response to Lacrahann’s words, her flushed cheek was pressed by the back of her hand.
Every time they reached such a crossroads and met again, from now on, they would walk a path holding hands.
“I want to. Me too.”
The two were showing each other their strengthened feelings.
However, suddenly, the eyes of the two widened as if tearing apart. Dikfer was talking with a woman in the forest, facing each other. The two hurriedly hid.
Where Dikfer was, not many people entered.
“I don’t come here often either.”
Vercheria glanced, and Lacrahann lowered his voice even more.
“It’s a bothersome place. It’s the farthest forest from the north, and the way is confusing. If you don’t have business in the border area, no one goes there. There’s no need to go there.”
“So, those two are saying that they are taking an unnecessary path at this time and being together?”
“In a sense.”
Vercheria tightened the muscles around her eyes. The last memory she had seen of Dikfer in the nest was when he proposed to her, and not even a few days had passed before he secretly met another woman. It wasn’t about taking away his freedom of mind. Even though there was another woman, the proposal to marry Vercheria was definitely not a normal pattern. It was not the common human love that starts to develop in the face. It was a marriage between gods.
‘What on earth is going on?’
“That man is Dikfer of the Contana Kingdom. The god of the earth.”
“Contana Kingdom?”
Lacrahann, turning his gaze away from Dikfer, looked straight at the woman next to him. The woman facing him. After completely narrowing her eyes, she scrutinized the woman’s face one by one.
It was impossible to understand.
“What’s going on?”
Lacrahann, wiping his dry face, Vercheria approached him in anxiety.
“Why?”
Lacrahann turned a calm gaze towards Vercheria.
“Listen to my story without being surprised. Can you do that?”
Vercheria nodded her head.
“He said he saw me from below the tower? In my childhood.”
“Yes.”
Vercheria nodded.
“You said you saw me from the tower, right? When I was a child.”
“Yeah.”
Although it was a memory from a very young age, whenever Lacrahann came, Vercheria waved at him. Sometimes, she muttered words of gratitude while he looked up.
“Every time you came, I was waiting. It was the only secret in my life that nothing else existed, even unknown to my mother.”
Vercheria smiled, revealing a bright smile.
Lacrahann opened his mouth to speak but refrained and clenched it tightly again.
This sudden attack seemed like a foul play.
“Hmm.”
Vercheria, still smiling without knowing what she had done, continued to watch him.
“That woman.”
Lacrahann pointed to the woman standing with Dikfer.
“I’ve seen her near the tower.”
“…What?”
“She came in a fancy carriage and waved a fan. She said she brought bread for you.”
Vercheria blocked her mouth.
She slowly turned her gaze to the woman.
The woman who had come to her tower until now had met her not long ago as a withered corpse.
“Maybe that face could be the real mother you’ve been so desperately looking for.”
Vercheria looked at the woman with a somewhat dazed expression.
The woman in fancy attire was talking incessantly with Dikfer.
“Really strange words, but if you think about it that way, everything that has happened so far makes a bit of sense. Dikfer, too.”
However, it was incomprehensible how that could be possible.
Why were the two of them, of all places, facing each other here and now?
