Lina waved goodbye to Ariana, who smiled warmly, and approached the duke again, holding his hand. A warm hand different from before.
“Duke…”
Closing her eyes, Lina remembered the events that had unfolded a short while ago.
Late into the night, Lina, who had been searching for Velige, heard the sharp clashing of metal in a narrow alley.
In a place where an ominous feeling was strangely felt approaching, there was a man receiving indiscriminate attacks from unknown individuals.
And that man…
“Duke?”
Even in the darkness, golden eyes were shining brightly. Lina’s body stiffened as if frozen for a moment.
The duke, who was single-handedly dealing with more than ten men, already seemed to be wounded, and blood was dripping from his right arm.
The duke, who looked burdensome even holding a sword, eventually couldn’t evade the falling sword from above.
Watching the sword that struck the duke’s shoulder, Lina, with a stiff expression, gasped.
The men with masks didn’t miss the vulnerable moment of the staggering duke and were raising their swords toward him.
“No.”
With a short voice, an unknown incantation began to flow from Lina’s lips. At the same time, an enormous amount of light poured out from her fingertips.
She didn’t remember what spell she recited or what magic she used. The only thought dominating her mind was that she had to save the duke.
And when Lina came to her senses, she was already holding the fallen Velige in her arms.
“No, Duke.”
His slackened arm, irregular breathing. Was the sensation that his usually warm body was getting cold just an illusion?
“Please…”
She was afraid.
Could it be that the duke was in the wrong state?
It was too frightening and terrifying.
“Is anyone there?! Please, someone help!”
She screamed like a cry in the empty alley.
“Teo…!”
“Ah, Princess Ariana!”
If Ariana, who was worried about Lina’s terrifying expression, hadn’t followed her out of the library,
Lina might have been shouting for a long time.
“Please, sob. Please help. This man…! The duke…!”
Seeing Ariana, the tears that had been holding back burst out without a break.
“Calm down, Teo. Give him to me.”
The princess, who embraced Velige instead of Lina, began to mutter words unknown to Lina.
Then, after a while, Ariana, who had finished her task, gently opened her eyes.
“Just now, that was…”
“We’ll talk about it later. I know a place. Let’s move to a different location for now.”
Lina, who pondered over her memories, slowly opened her eyes.
“Duke…”
A man she thought was stronger and more robust than anyone else, now closing his eyes with such a pale complexion. It hurt. Because everything seemed to be because of her.
As Lina softly leaned against Velige’s head,
Thud [dash].
Thud [dash].
Thud [dash].
The sound of a bell from a nearby bell tower signaling midnight rang out, and Lina’s body changed.
Amidst the sticky air filling the room, he shifted his gaze to the sharp sigh of the woman coming through.
Glistening silver hair like fragmented sunlight on calm river waters. Smooth and transparent skin like that of an untouched baby.
‘That woman.’
The woman who suddenly appeared and confused him with an unknown sense of eeriness.
‘Is this a dream?’
However, it was different from the dreams he had been having. There was something, a peculiar feeling of fullness in the chest and a sensation of blood boiling throughout the body.
‘What is this feeling?’
Like a refreshing breeze cooling the heat of midsummer. Like a sensation of cleansing the entire body…
As if it would disappear in an instant like sand scattering with a blink, he buried his face deeply in the woman’s nape.
Familiarity felt from the fingertips touching the woman’s body.
It relieved the thirst that felt stifling, like encountering a refreshing oasis in the desert.
‘This energy…’
He lifted his head to look into the woman’s eyes. Mysterious violet irises radiating a fantastical light like an orchid.
Yes, he knew these eyes. Even if the color of the eyes looking at him was different.
Because he knew the woman who always had the same gaze.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
The rhythmic beating of the heart, resonating like the sound of a drum, grew louder.
The serene sound of grasshoppers in the garden and the refreshing scent of flowers tickling the nose. And the enchanting night spent with a woman he encountered there.
How could he have forgotten that? The moment his heart swelled like the flames etched in the dark night sky.
Velige had a dream. A dream of a summer night’s memory that had been erased and a forgotten woman.
And when Velige lifted his heavy eyelids, the woman from the dream was holding his hand.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
