Briefly, even the melancholy moments.

Yuvan, too, began to help with a hoe, but Oliver, who was walking unsteadily, seemed to be hiding behind tall pine trees, avoiding them and breathing heavily.

“He doesn’t want to show me dying.”
“There are deaths like that too.”

In case Oliver runs away again and wanders through this white forest, Henna quickly ran to him.

Yuvan admitted that Clad’s words were not entirely wrong, looking at Oliver trying to go somewhere else.

“There might be deaths like that. But even if he’s leaving the way we can’t see again, we can say goodbye.”

Oliver, who had no more strength to escape, collapsed into Henna’s warm embrace.

His unfocused eyes blinked very slowly.

Yuvan, smiling at Oliver looking at him in Henna’s arms, carefully wrapped Oliver in the coat that Clad had secretly brought from the laundry room.

“Oh, Oliver!”

Then Oliver went crazy. After sniffing hurriedly, he cried again, and then stuck his nose in it.

“In fact, he didn’t want to run away. He wanted to die while looking at you in your arms.”

Yuvan sadly wrinkled his lips. Henna’s eyes had already reached a point where they could no longer swell.

Yuvan sensed that Oliver’s death was now imminent.

The sound of ‘phee’ gradually faded, and as the black eyes, illuminated by the setting sun, were about to lose their glimmer, it also became apparent in her eyes.

Yuvan whispered to Oliver, who was dying, as he hugged him like wrapping a dog to avoid the rain, along with Henna.

“I’ll make your house clean again.”

When your owner’s face becomes clean and bright like the beautiful prince you used to love, I’ll scold you for why I did that.

As if Oliver understood the words again, he made the ‘phee’ sound again.

Oliver, as if trying to meet Yuvan’s eyes, raised his head laboriously and finally buried his head in his clothes again.

Feeling the warmth from Henna and Yuvan, and smelling the long-awaited scent of the owner, his black eyes slowly went out.

“Your owner actually wanted to come to you.”

As the extinguishing candlelight was desperately blocked and protected by both hands, Yuvan whispered like someone protecting it.

“He loved you, Oliver.”

The dog made the ‘phee’ sound, as if hearing or saying something, and finally closed his eyes.

Henna, who had suppressed her cry, burst into tears with a loud sob!

Yuvan also lowered his head, his forehead and mouth twisted.

The once noble figure known as Clad Yufrees, who was once called Clad Yufrees’ wolf, when was it, piled up in a soft coat, looked too small.

The butler climbed upstairs with Clad’s dinner, smiling contentedly.
Following the advice of himself and Ranslet, thanks to Clad, who had been diligently trying to be kind during the day even if he couldn’t be kind at night, these days were quite peaceful.

“Lady is a troublesome lady. Your Grace should treat her even better.”

It was almost like a miracle compared to before when even a passing breeze made him frown.

Giving strange instructions like basking in the warm sunlight and decorating the garden, Clad, who finally began to do his work a little, looked definitely better than before.

Emotions that couldn’t be hidden beneath his indifferent face were visible in Gustaf’s eyes.

It was like a momentary shower of rain that soaked the heart. It was also a short glance that proved the closeness psychologically, such as Clad lifting the corners of his mouth slightly without hurting Yuvan’s forehead or head.

“By the way, milady is so affectionate.”

Even without asking for permission from Her Grace, causing an accident, and still pleading for dinner from Her Grace.

Although it was difficult because the wind blew away to the kitchen, Gustaf, who had to use his skills, felt an indescribable gratitude whenever he saw Yuvan taking care of Clad.

“Your Grace should also know how to be thankful.”

Even after getting such a beautiful and kind bride, not going for a walk even once! As Gustaf, who was an old man without a wife to cling to, he couldn’t understand it at all.

“Because of Oliver, if Her Grace gets angry, I should lean a bit towards milady. What to do if milady is so affectionate. Even though he told Oliver to send the servants or guards to bring him, he went out himself.”

After knocking a few times, the butler, who was about to enter Clad’s room, was surprised to see Clad standing in front of the window in the same posture as before.

“Your Grace?”

Butler Gustaf called him several times.

Clad didn’t answer.

The dark gaze looking outside didn’t show any anger Gustaf expected for Her Grace going out without permission.

“Your Grace…”

He just looked very empty and sad.

Moreover, the cheekbones were protruding, as if he had bitten his teeth for a long time.

Although the butler knew that he should go out in this atmosphere, for some reason, he thought that he couldn’t leave Clad alone and followed him until the dinner was completely cold.

That evening. Yuvan, who came back drenched in the rain just before the sunset, started to snow along with the drizzling rain.
