“I still hear my mother and sister’s screams when I close my eyes.”
Ines, unable to utter a word, tightly gripped the water glass she was holding. It was a pain that could not be easily gauged or understood.
“The saddest thing until now is that my father did not even include me in that death.”
At that time, he was twelve years old. He later mentioned that the pattern on the clothes of those men turned out to be the emblem of a high-ranking family that he could not even imagine at the time.
“For a long time, I hated myself. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t told my father everything back then.”
“…”
“Some wounds don’t heal no matter how much time passes. So, rather than trying to fight and overcome, it’s necessary to practice acceptance.”
Only then did Ines realize that he had laid bare his sad past to comfort her.
“If…”
Her throat was so dry that she had to pause for a moment.
“If you could seek revenge, would you have done it?”
Despite the difficulty of the question, the answer came out easily.
“I would have. But I didn’t have the strength back then. Of course, that didn’t change even as time passed. So, I learned to resign.”
He approached slowly and took the empty cup from Ines.
“Now, let go of the past. For yourself. It’s time to move towards the future.”
After saying that, he smiled a little more deeply.
“Of course, it won’t be as easy as it sounds.”
At that moment, without warning, Ines’s door burst open with the wind. Carson entered the room.
As if seeing nothing but Ines, he immediately grasped her face with both hands and carefully examined her eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine now.”
Hans quickly gave a salute and exited the room. He couldn’t be sure if the lord acknowledged his greeting.
“Are you really okay?”
“The princess asked you?”
“She just greeted and went back to the room with Emma.”
“How did you know?”
Louis appeared at the banquet hall, greeted, and stayed by his side for a while.
When he asked the child who wanted to return to Ines where she was, Carson inquired. Having already fulfilled his promise to Noah, it seemed fine to leave the spot vacant for a while.
Carson loosened his neatly tied tie a bit and, along with Louis, came as a sponsor.
However, neither the priest nor Ines was visible there.
As he looked around, a servant approached. He told Carson that he saw a priest carrying a maid and running. Understanding the situation, he immediately went to Ines’s room.
Throughout the journey, he thought about the situation where she couldn’t find him even though she couldn’t help it. Nevertheless, the strangely uncontrollable emotions made him unable to refrain from asking.
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
“You were busy today.”
“You should have said something.”
“I thought it would get better soon.”
But today’s seizure left something for Ines.
She looked at her faith.
Unlike her lying unconscious on the bed, he still shone like a star at this moment. Ines had hidden at the end of the corridor today, stealing a glimpse of him on his way to the banquet hall. It was a desire to see him dressed beautifully after a long time.
Naturally, he was dazzling. To the point that it was sad there was no way to capture that appearance forever.
However, Ines’ feelings became a bit strange as she watched him disappear into the distance. Unable to identify exactly what emotion it was, she left the spot before Carson completely disappeared.
It was a little while later that she realized the emotion she felt was some kind of uneasiness.
Sitting in the sponsor’s seat, she embraced herself while enjoying the spring breeze blowing.
Carson wouldn’t reject Ines. However, she knew. She couldn’t stay by his side forever. She couldn’t breathe only in his arms indefinitely.
The moment she had that thought, strangely, her breath caught.
‘You are so perfect like this, and I am crumbling so horribly.’
For the first time, she thought she didn’t want to show herself. It was a thought she hadn’t entertained even when she was the terrible Ines Sweden planning a calculated murder.
Today, Hans’s story was a great motivation for Ines. As he said, she wasn’t bound to the past. Only now did she realize why her seizures came, thanks to him.
Ines had reconciled with herself, but ultimately, she couldn’t forgive herself.
“My lord, I’ll say this only once, for the last time.”
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Ines…”
“I’m really sorry, but I still can’t leave your side.”
