46 – branching point

– Wow.

As mentioned many times, Lane is not a noble aristocrat without dignity.

– Wow. Wrong.

But now I couldn’t stand it at all because of my boiling instinct.

Hurrying up, he ate a cookie that reduced his bloodlust.

When I was young, I hated it because I didn’t know what it was made of, but it became a daily routine after I couldn’t get blood from Lee Ha-yu.

1, 2, 3 a day gradually increased, but now I feel like 5 is not enough.

“ha. ha.”

And today I failed to let him go.

‘Is it too late to let go now…?’

He wanted liberation so much, so why did he refuse it?

A simple remorse? stubborn? not.

Clearly, he was also to some extent convinced that a big incident was about to happen.

However, knowing this, he intends to accept his fate.

Maybe it’s because of him.

“It’s over…”

The ribbon of the saintess tightly held in Lee Ha-yu’s hand.

On the way back, with her hair still blowing in the wind, he just silently walked forward and held her hand.

“Is it over…? I don’t want to end… it’s over…”

I can no longer make a connection with Hayu.

Someone else already has a place in his heart.

Now that the master-servant relationship has disappeared, Lane is no longer the number one priority for him.

This fact, which was taken for granted, was gradually accepted by Lane without even realizing it.

“……”

And I’m delusional

If I were a saint, would Hayu have asked me to run away first? in that way.

If you think about the relationship between the two of them, you might have planned everything after that.

‘I’m not in that plan…… I guess.’

Ha-yu and Seong-nyeo, a pair who don’t want to admit it but go well together.

Both of them are stupidly nice, so the porridge will match.

Even if there is a little loss, laugh it off, and look at each incident positively.

We will only try to be considerate of each other, so there will be very little fighting.

On a sunset evening like that, go to a place only the two of you know, hold hands, and kiss…

It’s no different from other humans… I’m going to spend the rest of my life.

Fishing by the lake, and going on picnics when the weather is nice.

The childish house play of humans that I couldn’t understand as a demon…

‘But… I also like flower viewing…’

When I was young, I often had flower viewing with my older sisters.

After Hayu became a blood bag, I always went alone with him.

The past where I could go out with him anytime, for hours, and as many times as I wanted.

I look back on those memories that are now fading.

.

.

.

The weather wasn’t very good that day.

However, Rain called Hayu and went on a picnic.

And when all the preparations were finished in the most splendid position, she said.

-You can rest now.

-yes?

-…Sit next to me.

-If the owner finds out, it will be difficult…

Lee Ha-yu always refuses once.

What kind of country is it?

-ha..

And when Lane sighs.

-Yep…

Sits reluctantly.

– Fluffy.

The smell of flowers when he sits.

Hearing me like that and sitting next to him, I felt something good.

Then it didn’t work. Maybe at the time, I thought of those actions as favors.

On the contrary, he didn’t even know that it was making him uncomfortable.

Doing favors arbitrarily, taking away precious things arbitrarily.

Make them your own, and make them your own…

.

.

.

“Lee Ha-yu… I’m sorry…”

And from a certain moment, I felt like I wanted to suppress him who treated me like an older brother by human standards.

The father, the owner of the house, told me to act like a gwonju, which I heard so hard that a scab sat on my ears.

The erroneous belief that I had to become strong first so that I could continue to embrace Lee Ha-yu.

.

.

.

-Hayu.

When I call him as usual, he turns his head away even while he is at work and answers immediately.

-yes. Are you asking me to read a book today? A little later, when the time is right…

-Don’t skip it.

At that word, he immediately smiles shyly and lowers his tail.

-…yes? sorry.

-Don’t come on your own from now on.

-yes?

-I’m not a kid. uncomfortable.

-Ah yes.

I thought that Lane, who took the initiative, was more stable than him who naturally came into my territory.

If I treat her more harshly, the family will also recognize Hayu as mine.

My sisters, my father, and everyone else.

-…If you come to my room in the future, ask for permission in advance. And wait in the hallway, not inside. Don’t forget to check the schedule.

-yes.

I shouldn’t have said that.

.

.

.

‘Wrong… I was wrong, Hayu, what expression were you making at the time…?’

That time may have been the only time for him to escape from the pain inflicted by other demons.

That’s how even I took away his daily life one by one.

So Lane’s tears start to flow again.

‘……’

If Hayu remembers the past, is there even a single piece of precious memory?

No, it’s a pity, but he, who was a member of his family, wouldn’t have it.

The world and memories he wanted existed when he was an ordinary human who lived a fleeting moment rather than a vampire.

What a trivial happiness… with someone he likes…

‘That’s how the saintess and the two of us… are you going to be happy leaving me alone?’

-Kwook

My chest gets stuffy. Dark clouds cover the body and thunder strikes.

‘Am I… missing that happiness?’

Every day, every time I think of him, I get a sharp ache, but I never get used to it.

Because Lane knew he didn’t deserve to be happy.

Unknowingly, words leak out of your mouth.

“I’ll treat you well. Hayu. Hayu. Come back… give me a chance… I’ll do well…?”

It’s the worst.

Even the one who regrets now

The current situation that has been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

The sudden meeting of the prince, the fact that Eliana is targeting Hayu,

Losing him to another crisis… all is not good.

It seems that the self who will surely regret it is waiting for me in the future.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… so, please live. please let me live…”

Rain sobbed for a while, clutching tightly at the blouse that had become empty due to the missing brooch on her chest.

And in order to find something he could do, he constantly thought and thought again.

.

.

.

[D-12]

With a familiar count,

– All right.

From early morning we were moving in a carriage.

-…

Eliana sits in the driver’s seat, and we sit facing each other in the rear compartment, just keeping silent.

.

.

.

-Eliana is trying to harm you.

Eliana is me…

Even before I came to the academy, she kept saying she would save me, and she suddenly kills me…

‘Convinced.’

yes, let’s get it I know the truth.

In the first place, there is no one to believe in coming here.

Isabella, and the prince who was there yesterday.

I don’t know what ulterior motive everyone is acting on.

but lane. Even if Lane’s actions or orders to me are always unfair, his intentions are clear.

After thinking about it all night, last night, she must have warned me.

‘Hmm.’

The current situation led by Eliana is certainly suspicious.

Things that I didn’t realize without thinking about Lane, the saintess, Floria, and the prince.

If you have doubts, everything will look twisted, but even taking that into account, she is leading us as she pleases.

First, the lie that Lane tied me up and applied for the assignment.

Second, could the existence of a court mage be called a mansion so easily?

Also, the prince who just said what he said yesterday and disappeared at will.

His behavior as if he knew our location and time in advance.

In the face of being spit in the face, I thought, given Kyle’s personality, he would find us and do something about it.

‘Nothing happened…’

I don’t feel good. Bad news gathers and gathers, and I have a vague feeling that it is about to explode today.

– All right. All right.

Even so, this carriage is running towards the Serius family.

It wasn’t that I didn’t listen to Lane out of vain stubbornness.

It’s just the difference between staying alive on the sea for 12 days or breaking through head-on with a glimmer of hope.

Everyone is awkward because of yesterday’s riot.

-……

At that time, it was Floria who broke the silence.

“Yesterday, the two of you… what happened after all?”

“…Seriously, it would be a lie if I said nothing happened.”

When I answered in a low voice, Lane, who had closed her eyes, quietly opened them and looked at me.

It’s not the gaze that tries to cover the mouth.

It’s late, but let’s say it now.

“Me and Lady Arain are no longer in a master-servant relationship.”

“yes?”

The saintess and Floria open their eyes wide and look at me.

And Lane had an uneasy expression on her face as if she hadn’t expected this to happen.

“And I’m thinking of quitting the academy after this assignment…”

“Uh, why…! And what are you talking about!”

Perhaps because the previous owner was right in front of me, the saintess did not dare to ask me to follow her.

I thought it was not good for Eliana to hear this conversation, so I put my hand to my lips and said.

– All right! rattle!

Fortunately, it is downhill, so there is some noise.

“I have business to take care of in the ecliptic.”

Literally, it was said that the ecliptic had the largest library and mage tower in the continent.

Ask about the pendant of the Andelsons, and find a way to live… I should try.

If the people around me are targeting me anyway, that is reasonable.

“Yeah, then I’m with Hayu-san…!”

“no.”

I immediately stopped the saintess’ decision.

“Saint, please complete your course. Did you promise me that?”

“……”

As if she understood my intentions at once, she looked at me with an unbelievable look.

“Mr. Hayu… Sa, it doesn’t disappear, right?”

I seem to remember what I said then, drunk in the mood.

“ah…”

As I pondered over my answer, Floria spoke instead.

“Is that your choice?”

It was just a faint smile mixed with his stiff face.

However, it is surprisingly reassuring.

“…yes.”

“This is my first time. Hayu-nim’s arbitrary action… Can you promise me instead?

“If it’s a promise…?”

“Surely, come back.”

Floria’s concise and kind tone seemed to have put her mind in order.

I can’t answer

“…Yes, definitely.”

Even if it’s a death flag.

‘……Is it fucked up…’

If you say this, you’ll never come back alive.

But other than that, I couldn’t reassure these two.

– Tiring.

“?!”

Then, suddenly, a sound effect rang in my ears.

‘It’s a surprise…’
