“Lady!”?
?
Surprised, Asrell bent her knees to examine Roselyn.?
?
Her face and features were different, but this middle-aged maid reminded Roselyn of Kanya.?
?
She was also one of the people Roselyn had failed to protect and had died.?
?
“Kanya….”?
?
“Ah…. Why does the beautiful young lady look so sad? Really.”?
?
Asrell knelt down and looked up at Roselyn, who was crying. She looked at her for just a few seconds, and it was a face that Roselyn couldn’t forget, feeling frustrated that she was crying in front of a stranger helplessly.?
?
Roselyn stopped, reaching for the maid.?
?
She wondered what she would do if the skin of this person she saw in front of her was as cold as Kanya’s, who had died in front of her.?
?
She was terrified, even though she knew it couldn’t be. She had never felt this way before.?
?
“‘Oh my God. What’s going on here…?”?
?
Unable to help herself, Asrell grabbed Roselyn’s hand, which was halfway extended, and comforted her.?
?
“It’s okay. It’s okay. Please don’t cry………. What in the world happened to make these poor eyes so full of sorrow?”?
?
After a moment of hesitation, Asrell reached out and hugged Roselyn. The gentle, caressing touch was like Roselyn’s mother’s.?
?
It was sweet and warm.?
?
“It’s going to be okay. Ralph’s blessing will protect you. Lersha Resha.”?
?
Lersha Resha.?
?
Ah!?
?
Kanya.?
?
This was what Kanya said as she comforted Roselyn before.?
?
“God will bless you.”?
?
Lersha Resha.?
?
However, God has never once helped them.?
?
If there really was a God they followed so faithfully, and if they were so proud with their faith…..?
?
The poor Athesians would not have had such a tragic history.?
?
Yet they believed in God. They prayed to God again and again.?
?
Roselyn loved that faithful Kanya. Very much.?
?
The maid patted Roselyn’s back with her big hand.?
?
It was really strange. Even if it was Kanya, she could not touch Roselyn casually. But all the people Roselyn met in this country touched her without hesitation.?
?
Roselyn closed her eyes, feeling the warmth within her reach.?
?
The dead Kanya was not here. There was no coldness of the dead.?
?
It was just the warmth that only the living could give.?
?
“My Lord!”?
?
“My lord! General!”?
?
With similar but different voices, the twin maids came running, shouting when they saw Tamon.?
?
Tamon, who was returning after kicking Ronasso out of the door, stared at the running twins.?
?
“I’m going to fall. Don’t run.”?
?
Tamon walked slowly on his long legs, his bulky head twitching lazily.?
?
Meanwhile, the twins came rushing in like lightning, surrounding him on both sides and waving noisily.?
?
“My lord, my lord, my lord!”?
?
“Master, oh… my breath!”?
?
“Do we have to agree on whether to call me ‘lord’ or ‘master’?”?
?
“That’s right, Master!”?
?
Tasha, the older sister , raised her head first.?
?
“The woman, the woman!”?
?
“Who is she??
?
“She’s incredibly beautiful. You told us to take care of her.”?
?
“Yes, she’s very, very beautiful! I’ve never seen anyone so beautiful in my life, though I couldn’t compare her to Halo. Isn’t that what a fairy would look like if she came down? Isn’t that right, Louie?”?
?
“Yes! Really! I was so surprised at first, I had hiccups!”?
?
At Tasha’s words, her sister Louie nodded her head as if her head was going to fall off and tried to explain the emotional moment that filled her heart.?
?
The twins had never seen anyone so beautiful in their lives. But they wondered if the Snow Queen they heard so many times in fairy tales looked like that.?
?
Or was she a fairy? A snow fairy. The twins couldn’t even breathe, let alone get close, but Asrell was really amazing.?
?
Asrell got closer, talked to her, and even touched the fairy’s cold forehead.?
?
Tamon, who was looking at the twins’ fuss with a grin, abruptly stopped walking.?
?
“What happened?”?
?
The twins punched each other in the forehead to regain their composure.?
?
It’s such a stupid thing to do!?
?
They were running in amazement and their souls slipped out of their bodies as they thought of that person’s beauty again.?
?
It was a very beautiful face that deceived people whether they were looking at it or not.?
?
Oh, this was not the important thing.?
?
The beautiful one held Asrell and was shedding tears like holy water. That was the important thing!?
?
“She’s crying! She’s crying!”?
?
Yes! She’s crying! She is crying and holding Asrell! Please go quickly ……..!”?
?
For a moment, the twins thought they were getting winded.?
?
But it was only when they blinked that they realized that it was an afterimage of Tamon moving like the wind.?
?
Tasha and Louie looked at each other. Their eyes were the same, only the color of their eyes was different, and they both turned at the same time.?
?
They lowered their voices and whispered to each other, even though no one was there .?
?
“I knew it…”?
?
“Right. Let’s go and watch. Come on!”?
?
“I’m so nervous!?
?
And the twins, who were whispering and laughing, hurriedly ran after Tamon.?
?
***?
?
She cried aloud.?
?
Roselyn only realized this when her tears stopped.?
?
It was embarrassing.?
?
She wasn’t crying physiologically due to pain and suffering, she was crying because she was really sad.?
?
She hadn’t heard herself cry since she was a child.?
?
Her ears turned red with belated embarrassment. For no reason, she stretched her neck and sat up straight, but the embarrassment still persisted.?
?
“Are you feeling better now?”?
?
Asrell asked softly as she sat beside Roselyn, comforting her.?
?
Roselyn gave a small nod, smiling at Asrell to mean that she was fine.?
?
“······ Oh my, you are more beautiful than spring flowers. How can you have such beautiful eyes?”?
?
Asrel was stunned for a while by Roselyn’s smile.?
?
Is this what it feels like to have your eyes purified??
?
It was as if all the radiance in the world could not compare to her smile.?
?
Asrell’s face reddened and she didn’t know what to do, she looked at Roselyn again and let out a small cry.?
?
“Oh, my God, I’m being silly. I’m stupid. I keep peeking without realizing it.”?
?
“Don’t peek, just look at me as I am, Asrell. You have to see me face to face in order to have a dialogue.”?
?
“Hehe, now let me look at you with confidence. Oh, it’s dazzling.”?
?
Asrell smiled brightly, her eyes widened mischievously.?
?
Roselyn felt her innocent smile soften her heart.?
?
She had heard so many compliments about her beauty.?
?
They were compliments filled with dark ulterior motives, trying to rely on her authority and power as an empress.?
?
Perhaps that was why. Roselyn had rarely been impressed by the word beautiful.?
?
But now it wasn’t so bad to hear Asrell say it.?
?
It was just as heartwarming as that time when her mother had told her that she was beautiful, that she was lovely.?
?
It seemed to be because of those warm, green eyes full of fondness.?
?
“Do your eyes hurt? Would you like some water?”?
?
Roselyn took a sip of the water that Asrell gave her.?
?
That sip of water pushed away something that had been hanging on Roselyn’s chest.?
?
At that moment, the closed door slammed open and a huge man appeared.?
?
Asrell stood up quickly and greeted him.?
?
“You’re here, Master.”?
?
Asrell shifted in her seat. Roselyn looked at Tamon, who was trudging towards her, and turned her face away.?
?
She didn’t want to show him her face, which still had traces of tears.?
?
It was embarrassing.?
?
She averted her gaze and silently bit her lips.?
?
Standing in front of Roselyn, Tamon stared at her sharply.?
?
He lifted her chin gently.?
?
“Red.”?
?
When Roselyn didn’t answer, Tamon turned her head around and looked at her face.?
?
Roselyn let out a small sigh and pushed his hand away from her chin.?
?
Tamon, who missed her chin, looked at the nape of her neck this time. He raised her hand and carefully examined her wrist as well.?
?
“I see you didn’t hurt yourself anywhere. I’m glad.”?
?
Roselyn was dumbfounded and stared at him.?
?
At that moment his hand gripped her chin again.?
?
“What about your tongue?”
