“I can see the entire Teran Mountain Range over there.”
Lorencia opened her mouth in awe as she gazed at the Teran Mountain Range, its high peaks visible in the distance.
“Do you think there are people climbing up there?”
“There are people climbing. If you wish to go up, please let me know. I will make the preparations.”
“I want to go up.”
“The view of the Teran Mountain Range from here is spectacular, but it will be even more beautiful at night.”
Teishar had a reason for choosing this small village in the vast Filian Empire.
“You can look forward to the night. Of course, I’m always looking forward to the nights.”
At his mischievous words, Lorencia averted her gaze. Teishar chuckled softly at her reaction.
“Ter. I’m tired from the long journey, so please restrain yourself tonight.”
“It’s the first night of our honeymoon, and you’re telling me to restrain myself. It’s torturous for the new groom.”
“Please bear with it for a bit.”
Teishar stretched out his arm and placed it around Lorencia’s shoulders, then kissed her cheeks and the bridge of her nose.
Feeling like it was impossible to resist, Lorencia pushed against his chest, and Teishar obediently stepped back.
Seeing him retreat so easily, Lorencia tilted her head in puzzlement.
After stepping back, Teishar closed the window he had opened and untied the blackout curtains.
“I don’t want to hold back…”
As his voice reached her ears with a sensual warmth, Lorencia trembled involuntarily.
In the darkened room, Lorencia’s mouth fell open. Teishar embraced her shoulders and started whispering in her ear while kissing it.
When Lorencia opened her eyes again, it was late at night.
“Are you awake?”
Teishar handed a glass of water to Lorencia, who had woken up. She gulped down the cool water he offered and glanced at the dark window.
“Wow…”
“I told you. It’s something to look forward to at night.”
Teishar opened the window wide.
In the dark night sky, countless stars twinkled. Lorencia gazed at the stars and moon filling the sky, her mouth agape in a daze.
“I had no idea the night could be so beautiful.”
For Lorencia, the night was a darkness that made her feel lonely. After Musilla’s death, whenever she couldn’t sleep and opened the window to look outside during the lonely nights, she only wished for the night to pass quickly and for the sun to rise.
“The area around the Teran Mountain Range is also the closest to the stars. That’s why you can see special stars that are only visible here.”
“It’s my first time seeing this.”
Teishar quietly approached Lorencia from behind as she looked at the stars and draped a soft, light blanket over her shoulders. Then, he kissed her fair nape and gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
“It’s beautiful.”
Teishar whispered softly as he gazed at Lorencia, who was looking up at the stars.
“Truly beautiful.”
His quiet whisper was like the stillness of the night.
“Ter. Thank you for bringing me here.”
“Loa.”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for marrying me.”
At those words, a joyful smile spread across Lorencia’s face.
“Ter.”
“Yes.”
“I love you.”
“I can’t hold back anymore.”
Teishar scooped up Lorencia, blanket and all, into his arms.
“What can’t you hold back?”
“Your hands and feet have gotten cold from the open window.”
“So?”
“I’ll take you to bed.”
She burst into laughter at his smooth words.
Teishar carried Lorencia to the bed as if she were a precious glass sculpture.
[This is the timeline separator]Through the open window, cherry blossom petals fluttered in.
“Spring is already here.”
Blondie stroked Leo’s head with the back of her hand and looked outside.
−Meow.
“Why are you crying even though I’ve fed you?”
−Meow.
“What a sharp cry.”
Blondie looked at Leo.
“Is it because the young lady isn’t here?”
Seeing Leo constantly flipping his food bowl as if wanting something, Blondie furrowed her brows.
The floor was dirty due to the fish porridge spilled from the overturned bowl.
“What are you unsatisfied with?”
−Meow.
Leo had been in Lorencia’s room and wandered around for a while before crying out quite sharply as if wanting something.
Blondie thought it might be due to the stress of Lorencia’s absence, but recently, his behavior was a bit different. He kept flipping over his food bowl.
“Do you dislike the fish porridge?”
−Meow.
“Are you asking for different food?”
After some thought, Blondie placed a whole fish on top of the food bowl. Leo took the fish in his mouth and disappeared outside the terrace.
‘Has he grown tired of fish porridge?’
Indeed, even humans would get sick of eating only bread and soup.
She felt a slight twinge of guilt for feeding him only fish porridge.
“Be careful while wandering around, Leo.”
It seemed he wanted to give food to his feline friends. While he couldn’t carry the fish porridge, he could carry the whole fish.
“I should prepare fish from now on.”
After watching Leo leave, Blondie stepped out of Lorencia’s room.
Every time she saw Leo, she was reminded of Lorencia. When would the newlywed couple return from their honeymoon?
“It’s already been almost a year, but they don’t seem to be thinking of coming back.”
Nearly a year had passed since Lorencia and Teishar left for their honeymoon. While it was unknown when they would return, occasional letters with paintings arrived from them.
The first letter was from the Filian Empire. It was a relief that they seemed to be having a happy trip.
While the family members were delighted to read the letters from the couple enjoying their honeymoon to the fullest, there was one person who fell into a panic every time a letter arrived.
It was Leanid.
Every time he received a letter from Lorencia, Leanid secretly sent out search parties.
However, before the search parties could even arrive, Teishar and Lorencia had already left the place.
Unable to find even a trace, Leanid had to endure the stress whenever the search parties returned empty-handed.
The family members didn’t expect the two to go on a honeymoon for nearly a year.
People were curious about their whereabouts.
Starting with Emperor Adrian and Empress Charlotte, the people they knew, including Welson and Abrelina, wanted to see the couple who had gone on a long honeymoon.
Blondie sometimes mentioned Adrian, who occasionally visited the Duchy of Di Glosten. Most of the practical official duties were being handled by Charlotte. While Adrian also assisted with the official duties, he primarily traveled around, taking the lead in eliminating bandits and pirates or touring the nobles’ territories.
And Adrian was doing most of the parenting for Crown Prince Calitz.
“I hope they return soon.”
Recently, Blondie kept being reminded of Musilla.
She wasn’t sure why he kept coming to mind, but she thought it might be because she missed Lorencia.
And finally, they received a letter stating that Lorencia and Teishar were returning.
There were no details about when they would return. It only mentioned that Lorencia dearly missed her family.
And as always, her letter and gifts arrived at the ducal residence.
It was very precious salt. Judging from the salt she sent, it seemed they were near a seaside area.
And the two finally returned. The entire Duchy of Di Glosten was overjoyed by the news of their return.
When Blondie saw Lorencia approaching with Teishar’s devoted escort, her eyes widened in surprise.
“How strange.”
“What is it?”
Owenna asked in response to Blondie’s murmur.
“I saw a very beautiful purple cherry blossom tree behind Lady Lorencia.”
“A purple cherry blossom tree?”
Owenna tilted her head.
“It must be a hallucination from seeing her after such a long time. How could there be a purple cherry blossom tree behind a person? I must be getting old too.”
Blondie was reminded of Musilla once again. Come to think of it, she recalled that when she first met Musilla, it was during the spring season. At that time, beautiful cherry blossoms were also fluttering.
“Yes… It must be because I missed her so much and it’s been so long since I’ve seen the young lady.”
“Blondie.”
“Don’t run, you’ll fall. Lady Lorencia.”
“Blondie. And Owenna, Kate, I missed you all so much.”
Lorencia said with a smile.
“You’ve become even more beautiful since we last saw you.”
Blondie approached Lorencia, who was running towards her with joy upon seeing her. Lorencia, whom she was seeing after a year, had a different kind of radiance on her face.
She looked like she had been loved a lot, and her smile seemed more natural.
“Lord Teishar. Thank you for keeping your promise well.”
Blondie bowed deeply to Teishar and spoke. After a long time, the ducal residence was lively again.
It was the start of a pleasant season.
Lorencia had a dreamlike honeymoon.
Especially the three months they spent in the Filian Empire were extremely satisfying.
At night, she fell asleep to the books Teishar read to her while gazing at the beautiful stars and moon.
During the day, she planted potatoes in a small vegetable garden. She harvested them when the leaves and stems turned yellow. The soup made with the potatoes she harvested herself was incredibly delicious.
They visited various other places as well. It was her first time traveling, but it was truly enjoyable.
However, she missed her family and Leo.
After spending a delightful year, they returned to the mansion.
As soon as Teishar returned to the marquis’ residence, he became the head of the Spencer family. Lorencia naturally became the Marchioness Spencer.
Many things had changed compared to the previous future.
She could implicitly sense that the future assigned to her was quietly flowing in that world.
Occasionally, she dreamed about events from the future.
In that future, Lorencia was also together with Teishar.
The 29-year-old Lorencia was plagued by guilt. Since many people had died because of her, the guilt she carried was quite deep. The deeper the guilt, the greater the wound.
Teishar helped her stand back up.
She didn’t seek forgiveness by saying she didn’t know. She didn’t forcefully seek forgiveness. Realizing that forgiveness was one of the most difficult emotions for people to have, Lorencia changed.
She didn’t rely on the power to see the future. She strived for a better future than the one she saw.
Seeing that, she felt the need to put in effort. Without the ability to see the future, she could focus on the present. Although the power to see the future had disappeared, she realized that she could have the power to shape the future.
And she had another dream about the future Lorencia. In the dream, on a sunny spring day, not only was Teishar by Lorencia’s side but also a cute baby, and she smiled at the sight.
After that, she never dreamed about the future Lorencia again.
Was the Lorencia of that future also watching her?
So, she had to do her best to be happy now. Only then could the Lorencia ten years from now smile when she saw herself in a dream.
Just like her current self.
The past was difficult, but may the present and the future be happy.
