Neris Trued woke up crying.
The dark dungeon filled with the smell of rotting wounds was nowhere to be found. In a small room where the sun was shining, the fragrance of geraniums came in through the window, and the bed was not soft, but clean.
There was no one in the room. Instead, there was a tallow candle, long forgotten but very familiar.
A bulky wardrobe and basket decorating the walls of the house that her father built, with the wood grain exposed. Even the old rocking chair where her mother used to sit often.
Was it a dream? Or heaven?
If it was heaven, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Neris rolled out of bed and put on her slippers.
Then she realized that her body size was different from what she remembered, and looked at her arms and legs.
It was not the body of a woman who was already thirty. Much thinner and smaller, but full of vitality, just like a child before attending school.
“Riga?”
Just then, the door opened and an adult woman’s voice was heard. That very voice she had longed for. Neris ran toward the voice’s owner, crying out.
“Mom!”
“Baby, why are you crying?”
Wiping her wet hands on her apron, her mother, looking younger than Neris remembered, came into the room and widened her eyes at the sight of her daughter’s tearstreaked face.
The mother who looked a little older every time Neris came home for the summer break. Could it be that, while Neris was away at school, her mother had been under threat of death?
The threat to hand over the daughter, the owner of the estate.
Her heart ached and she felt guilty. How much she must have struggled raising her daughter alone, and her mother shouldn’t have met such an end.
Neris, afraid that this illusion might disappear, embraced her mother, who held her back as a vivid reality and comforted her. Neris wanted to forever inhale the familiar body scent in her mother’s arms.
It was too clear to be a dream, but could this be the truth? The prison? Valentin? Where were the filthy traitors?
Neris looked up at her mother and asked.
“Is this heaven?”
Her mother burst into laughter. She kissed Neris’s forehead lovingly and asked with affectionate eyes.
“Is home so good that it seems like heaven? You don’t want to go to school?”
That was the answer. Yes, it must have all been a nightmare. Such terrible things could not have happened. Neris embraced her mother again and sobbed.
Her mother, confused, held Neris even tighter.
“I’m worried about sending you so far away, my baby. Going from living only with Mom to a place with important people.”
…No, was that really a nightmare?
She had definitely heard these words before. With the exact same voice and tone. Neris hesitated.
She could vividly recall the despair, anger, and pain she felt right before dying.
She could also remember everything that happened before that, as if it had occurred just yesterday.
She had never had such a dream before. Therefore.
She had returned. The reason was unknown.
Listening to her mother’s words, Neris must now be twelve years old, the entrance age for Noble Academy, where all the noble children of the Empire of Bista must attend. Neris’s fist, tightly holding her mother’s skirt, paled.
She would soon have to leave for that place.
The place where the first nightmare began, the Academy.
“Mom.”
Neris looked up at her mother. At her daughter’s careful and sad face, her mother wore a downcast expression.
At least around this time, the mother and daughter never looked at each other with such sad faces. Neris was cheerful and bright as a child, resembling her mother.
“Why are you like this, baby?”
Why didn’t she know when she was young? Her mother must have been sad and lonely to send away her only family.
And yet, she endured humiliation and borrowed money from distant relatives to pay the tuition and sent Neris to school. Even from a family that had cast her out for marrying a lowranking knight, telling her to break off relations.
Because she believed that school would help her daughter’s life.
“You see.”
Yes, she had to go to the Academy. However, this time she wouldn’t be victimized as those hateful ones wanted.
“Yes, my baby.”
“I love you. I’ll do well and come back.”
Certainly! Here’s the translation of the given Korean passage into English:
Mother soon broke into a broad smile on her face that had been sad.
The bright silver hair of her mother caught the sunlight and shone smoothly, and for a moment, another person with that silver hair came to mind.
Nelrusion Elrandria.
A momentary flash of hatred crossed Neris’s face. Her mother looked at her daughter’s face and was startled.
But Neris soon smiled broadly, shrugging as if to say when had she ever worn a face that was not childlike.
“When was the departure?”
“Tomorrow morning. You know you have to get up early, right?”
“I usually get up early anyway.”
Mother burst out laughing.
“Sure you do. Just like how you overslept today.”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
