22 – A feeling of unprecedented times

The poetry that Lucia experienced had a somewhat precocious aspect to it.

This is not another word, but it means that you are mature beyond your age. The serious appearance he occasionally showed made it impossible to think of Shiron as a child. Should we call it a pushing force? That’s the vibe it gives off.

It wasn’t just the kind of thing that comes from reading a lot of books. If it was white school students’ tabletop discussions, they’d been fed up with it in their previous lives, so there was no way Lucia wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

It makes the illusion that it is an atmosphere that seems to come from experience.

If I had to give an example, it could be compared to the leisure of an old farmer who gets through the situation based on a lot of experience.

It hadn’t been long since I’d known Shiron, but the appearance Shiron sometimes showed was more seasoned than her reincarnation.

Even two days ago, Siron showed that aspect. The sight when Siron squeezed her trembling hand gave off a light so strong that it was impossible to resist.

I can’t forget that memory from my mind.

I can still vividly recall it.

Siron approaches Lucia, who is trembling and clutching her coat. Despite staying up all night, his face showed no signs of fatigue.

Even though I am still at an age where I need to be looked after,

Although he was much weaker than Lucia, Siron tried to cheer up Lucia, who was trembling with fear.

The feel of that time is still vivid, as if it remains in my hand. At what point did it start? Lucia began to think of Siron as not just a child.

‘What did I just hear?’

That’s why Lucia couldn’t easily ignore Bertha’s remarks.

Bertha’s white naked body comes into Lucia’s eyes. The symbol of maternal love on top of a lean, well-trained body is attractive even to the same woman.

‘Come visit me at night?’

‘why?’

I tried my best to pretend not to know, but I had some answers in my head.

Although she had never experienced a relationship, let alone a man, in her current and past lives, Lucia was not stupid enough to not know the meaning of asking her to come to you at night after washing up.

Even more so.

The place where Kylie and her colleagues were mainly located was a battlefield where people could die at any moment.

In such extreme situations, moral boundaries are broken to some extent. In addition, it is also the place where the bottom of a person is most clearly revealed.

In any era, there were more men than women on the battlefield, and it is natural that the place had a macho atmosphere.

Even the ladies who ate some ink talk about their first night as if they were bragging about their heroic feat. So, sometimes blushing at obscenity at a drinking party was something even the nuns who volunteered at the monastery wouldn’t do.

however.

I couldn’t easily ignore Bertha’s remarks because of one factor.

Lucia lowered her head and looked back at Siron’s age.

‘I’m sure…wasn’t he eleven years old?’

Siron was too young to require night care. Lucia’s pupils shook at that fact.

If I counted the days correctly, I had at least three more years to go before I reached normal puberty.

Lucia slowly raised her head and looked ahead. Contrary to the jumbled thoughts in my mind, I could clearly see the woman in front of me.

Did you think the awkward atmosphere disappeared after your conversation with Lucia? Bertha was in a more comfortable position than before.

The confident posture of leaning her back against the wall made me recognize her as a very attractive woman.

just as expected.

“Do you have anything to say? You’ve been staring at me since before.”

Suddenly, Berta looked away and scratched her cheek.

There is nothing surprising. She wasn’t so insensitive that she didn’t notice the dull stares pouring down on her for a long time.

Lucia thought it was a good thing. Could it be that he was just mistaken? Lucia bit her trembling lips and opened her mouth.

“You know…”

“Yes, please tell me.”

“Why did Siron call you?”

Never ask explicit questions. Lucia thought it was impolite to ask such questions to the other person.

‘Did I say something too rude? ‘What if I avoid answering?’

However, contrary to Lucia’s concerns, Bertha answered calmly.

“… … well? “Maybe you want to make me your person?”

“Chiron’s… person?”

“Yeah, I can’t think of anything else other than that. “Because I’m a person who feels more comfortable using my body than using my head.”

Bertha finished speaking and smiled bitterly.

Siron did not kill Bertha even though he could have. I’ve been thinking about the reason for this one night, but I can’t think of any other reason.

What’s more, isn’t it Prien?

Considering the background of the theory, no matter how many words I had at my disposal, it was not enough.

Berta already had a half-resigned look on her face. Actually, the conditions weren’t that bad.

In about ten years, Siron will definitely be appointed as the head of Prien. There is no harm in making a string like this now.

Since thinking deeply was not for her, Bertha decided to accept it calmly.

When I thought about it like that, a part of my heart felt relieved.

On the contrary, instead of clearing up Lucia’s confusion, her mind became more confused. No, it would be more correct to say that doubt turned into certainty and became clear.

what?

Are you comfortable using your body?

Whose person?

Lucia comforted her lips that would not close.

‘Is that something you’re going to say in front of others? ‘Why are you so calm?’

Bertha becomes Chiron’s person tonight. As soon as she recognized that fact, blood rushed to Lucia’s face.

‘Children these days are so… precocious.’

Lucia put her head under the water to cool off.

But there is no way my head can cool down.

Because the place she is soaking in is a hot tub.

Fuha-

Then, Lucia suddenly remembered that the times she lived in and the present are different.

‘Of course, even I heard that kids these days are precocious.’

Lucia felt a difference in times that she had never felt before. Five hundred years have already passed since he defeated the demon god and died.

‘Yura definitely said that even rivers and mountains change in ten years. In 500 years, it has changed fifty times.’

When I thought about it, it seemed foolish to think that common sense back then and now would be the same.

It is natural that common sense and culture have changed to some extent.

‘and.’

Lucia looked at Bertha through her dripping hair. There was something light about her expression.

“… … .”

When I thought about it, Siron was a master from a great family called Prien.

Even from Lucia’s perspective, the value of the name Kylie the Sword God was great. Even after 500 years, we can see that they have produced a strong man like Hugo. It didn’t seem like his power would have waned.

Becoming the master of such a great family will certainly bring many benefits.

It seemed like a simple glance would be enough to pave the way for a high-ranking official.

In the past, stories of sacrificing one’s body for success were often heard.

‘Come to think of it. He was good at telling dirty jokes to the boss.’

Lucia opened her eyes blankly and slowly woke up.

“Are you going out?”

“… … huh.”

Lucia stumbled and pulled herself out of the bathtub.

I was so dizzy that I couldn’t stay there any longer.

Lucia trudged down the hallway. Even if I lay in bed and tried to sleep, I couldn’t because I thought of Siron when I closed my eyes.

‘I… have become an obsolete person who can’t keep up with the times…’

This is the day when common sense collapsed.

Because of the slight dizziness, I have no strength in moving forward.

It was not because I had been in the bathtub for a long time, but because of the shock I received from the feeling of a different world.

‘Things these days. Oh, I’m so open-minded. Me too, I wonder how it ended up like this.’

Lucia just laughed at herself, saying that her thoughts were really old-fashioned.

The mean-spirited face of Siron that I once saw was reflected in my eyelids. The sight seemed to be taunting Lucia, calling her old.

‘The problem is that people from the past like me are trying to understand the world these days. What will others think if they see it? The generation gap… wow, it’s 500 years.’

Lucia let out a sarcastic laugh.

She, unable to accept the passage of 500 years, needed support now.

‘I believed you were a colleague…’

Siron, who was the only human in this mansion, was not his companion. The book that preserved the past was Lucia’s only understanding and friend.

‘okay. I’m reading a book. If you empty your mind and cool your head, you’ll feel better.’

I walked endlessly and eventually arrived at the study. Lucia placed her hand on the study doorknob. Then he slowly opened the door and entered the study.

There is no need to even worry about which book to read. Lucia proceeded as if being led somewhere.

“… … uh?”

however.

There was no biography of Kylie who was there every time.

“Why isn’t there one?”

No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the book I was looking for.

Except for Shiron, he was the only person in this mansion who would read such a storybook. Chiron slammed Kylie’s biography as too much bravado, so she erased it even if it was possible.

Then, Lucia’s gaze was suddenly focused on a desk in the study.

“Did you find it…?”

The storybook, which had worn parts after reading it over and over again, was being held by an unfamiliar girl.
