39 – Trouble

parting time.

Shiron said he wanted to say goodbye, and sent the party out first.

Once leisurely in front of the castle gate, Shiron looked around at the servants.

There was no one shedding tears. Rather, they just criticize Encia and Ofelia, who left first, leaving only them alone.

This is a welcome fact even as a theory of poetry. It’s not like I won’t see it for the rest of my life, and the fewer things I have to cry about in my life, the better.

So speak in a calm tone.

“I’ll come back when I get stronger. Until then, take good care of yourself.”

“I have to pray that that day comes quickly. “I think I’ll want to see your face even tomorrow.”

Yuma speaks softly, but his eyes look sad.

She immediately handed a pouch to Siron. Siron accepted the bag with a question mark on his face.

“what’s this?”

“I selected items from the warehouse that could be exchanged immediately. “No matter how much you have, the only thing you don’t have is money.”

When I opened the pocket, colorful accessories and jewels popped out. Siron smiled happily and put the bag inside his body.

“Why are you taking care of all this?”

Even though he had already taken everything that could be useful, Yuma gave it to him so generously. As expected, it occurred to me again that Yuma was favoring Shiron.

“Take care of yourself.”

“I am rather worried about you, Master.”

“Yes, please worry a lot. “I’m also really worried because my future is bleak.”

Even in this situation, Siron told a joke to Yuma. The way he never lost a smile on his face all morning was compared to Yuma’s shadowy face.

“And this.”

Shiron handed Yuma a letter.

“What is?”

“Are you going to leave me and go to my father? “Don’t look now, open it then.”

“…All right.”

Yuma politely received the letter Shiron handed him.

A master who awakened the power of prophecy, which was unprecedented, before the coming-of-age ceremony. He had a clear view of his future direction.

But it doesn’t give me goosebumps or anything. Rather, trust in the theory only increases.

Only then was Yuma able to laugh, even if it was just a little.

“I’m done.”

We have to finally say goodbye.

After finishing his business, Siron turned and looked at Lucia.

Looking at her awkwardly standing there, it was clear that she was still having a hard time with Yuma and the maids.

Lucia looked away with a sullen expression.

“it’s okay. “It’s not a child.”

“You’re a kid. And as I say goodbye, where is the child? ”

“…”

This guy doesn’t even respond.

‘Did you get reincarnated and become a real child?’

Feeling that it wouldn’t work, Siron approached Lucia and pushed her back hard.

“Don’t be stubborn.”

“Ha, don’t do it!”

Although the resistance was strong, Siron pushed Lucia with all his might as if he would not be defeated.

Lucia looked back and glared at Siron as if she were going to kill him, but Siron pretended not to notice and closed his eyes.

like that.

Lucia and Yuma faced each other.

Lucia said with resignation, as if she couldn’t do anything anymore.

“…I was grateful for the time.”

“I believe that Lady Lucia will adapt well to the new place.”

The two maintained expressionless expressions throughout the conversation.

“I’ll just go now.”

“good bye.”

With those words, Yuma bowed his back.

It was a very simple goodbye.

Because Shiron and Yuma had a friendly conversation just before, their relationship at first glance seems like enmity.

‘They are enemies.’

Shiron watched the two stiffly and laughed.

The person who gave Yuma the title One-Horned Yuma was Lucia’s previous life, Kylie. I don’t know about Yuma, but it felt very pleasant to think that Lucia was aware of that.

Lucia bowed her head towards Yuma.

Then he turned around and glared at Shiron.

“You’re really mean.”

“Do you finally know that? “I endured it and it started to hurt.”

“Look at how shameless you are, you’re really mean.”

“So, why is my personality like this? “I guess my brain got weird because I kept being raised by demons.”

“……”

“I couldn’t sleep and I felt like I was going to die. “I go first.”

After finishing speaking, Siron yawned and walked away. Lucia quietly watched Siron walking away.

‘In the end, I left without finding out anything.’

Lucia suppressed her uneasiness and looked around at the view of the Castle of Dawn.

The remnants of the past that one experiences for the first time after reincarnation.

What I found out here was that a family called Prien was raised and maintained by demons.

A little over two months was too short a time to find out for myself the reason for my reincarnation.

He spent most of his time outside of morning training in the study, but in the history books he was barely able to read, not a single line was given as to how the Prien family was formed.

It is only mentioned intermittently that he is a descendant of a warrior.

‘If I had been stronger, would I have been able to ask Yuma directly for the reason?’

Lucia looked back at Yuma, who had just exchanged greetings. As she lowered her head to see her off, a horn stood out on her head.

The reason Lucia felt uncomfortable every time she saw Yuma could be because she was a demon, but the existence of those horns was the biggest.

500 years ago, the time when we fought every day against the demons.

It was Yuma who reigned in fear over the expedition, but even she was no match for Kylie. Even when Yuma first met Kylie, Kylie had already entered the realm of being a swordsman.

-I heard you guys are proud of your horns?

-stop…

-why me? You killed people even though I told you not to.

Kylie turned Yuma into a single horn with a cold look. I can still vividly recall it. The moment he broke his left horn with his hands full of history, Yuma let out a shrill scream with a desperate expression on his face.

Occasionally, there are times when Yuma’s face, which used to shoot venomous eyes, is now overlaid on his face.

If I had been Kylie back then, I might not have considered her resentment as a big deal. They might have laughed and ridiculed me and told me to attack them if they wanted to.

It was definitely like that in the past. But that shouldn’t be the case now.

Because I didn’t know I could be reincarnated.

Because I didn’t know we would meet like this.

Kylie, who was reincarnated as Lucia, was too weak. He is so helpless that if Yuma makes a single gesture, he will die.

‘If I had revealed that I was Kylie… I would probably be dead.’

Now, I send a warm smile to my children as if I were their mother, but when a person’s emotions break down, it is not easy to bridge the gap.

‘Compared to that time, Yuma and I have become much gentler…’

Even so, it does not change the fact that Yuma is a demon. Lucia still hasn’t forgotten her poisonous eyes.

So, leaving Dawn Castle was liberation for her.

If Hugo hadn’t suggested it first, I might have had to live here forever with the burden of uncomfortable feelings.

Fortunately, Siron decided to follow Hugo. Although it was a choice to say goodbye to people she had known for a long time, Siron decided to leave the Castle of Dawn.

Siron’s face was full of confidence as he said he got off hastily. I was curious as to why he could make such an expression, but I couldn’t find out even if I asked him directly.

He seemed to think he was some sort of bard, and only told strange stories about starlight and such.

It is unclear whether he is telling the truth or diverting words, but

Since Lucia was hiding the fact that she was a reincarnated person from Siron, I couldn’t dig any deeper than this.

‘At least until I can reveal that I am Kylie…’

From noble mtl dot com

Lucia feels the need to become stronger in a hurry.

Even if she reveals herself to be Kylie, Lucia has no intention of revealing her identity to Siron until she can overcome all dangers.

Lucia hurried her steps, hoping that day would come quickly.

I could see the carriage prepared by Hugo in the distance.

*

The road to the capital.

At the end of the knights’ procession, inside a particularly fancy carriage.

“I guess you’re really tired, brother. “I’m sleeping without the world knowing.”

Siriel chuckled as she looked at Siron occupying the entire corner of the chair. No matter how luxurious the carriage Hugo prepared was, Siron could sleep very well even though it was shaking so badly.

“So, what did you do last night without sleeping to be so tired?”

Lucia answered curtly and glanced at Siron’s hand.

The hands placed neatly above the navel look like a person lying in a coffin.

Before he knew it, his hands were completely healed. This is absolutely not human regenerative power. I thought it wouldn’t heal for at least a few months.

“…Your hand is fine.”

“huh? Ah, you mean the hand. “I’m glad you got better quickly.”

“…I know.”

Although she spoke calmly, Lucia’s expression did not look comfortable. Siriel laughed without thinking, but Siron’s regenerative power was something strange even to Lucia.

Is it the power of the bloodline called Prien, or is it the influence of the holy sword? Since Shiron is a child who cannot even handle history, speculation naturally goes in that direction.

In the end, it was a time when nothing could be resolved inside Lucia and only curiosity was piling up.

Kugugugugugung-!

“what?!”

The carriage began to shake violently.

It was dark inside the carriage, as if there was dust outside.

“landslide? attack?”

“Hmm… I guess it’s not both?”

“No?”

Lucia narrowed her eyes at Siriel’s denial.

The carriage was shaking on the ground as if there had been an earthquake, but strangely, Siriel’s expression was extremely calm.

I’m glad that’s all. Despite all this chaos, Shiron is sleeping peacefully.

After a while, the shaking stopped.

“…It stopped.”

“right? “It happened a few times when I came here.”

Rattling-

When the shaking stopped, the carriage started moving again.

“How many times has it happened like this?”

“huh.”

Siriel smiled brightly and helped Siron, who was about to fall off the chair, to lie down.

“The cause is probably your father.”

“Hugo… you mean your uncle?”

“huh. “Would you like to look out the window?”

“?”

As Siriel finished speaking, she looked out the window. Lucia also turns her head to him.

After a while, the dust cleared, and Lucia’s eyes widened.

Something huge had been split in two.

Now, a procession passed through them.

As the carriage moved forward, something limp filled the landscape.

“…”

“I guess my father killed the demonic beast blocking the path.”

Lucia turned her head to Siriel.

Siriel was smiling carefree as if this was nothing.
