59 – Ortaire (1).

My mind was hazy, and my head was ringing.

A terrible hangover overtook me, and I had no choice but to wake up involuntarily.

“eww… … .”

A suppressed moan came out of its own accord. When I opened my eyes and looked around, it was my room.

why is it my room? Surely I had a drink and went to Physis’s room?

I tried to roll my ringing head and recalled the events of yesterday. Hug him, confess that you like him… … Hearing that I love him, and even kissing him at the end.

I was going to run wild with happiness right away, but I couldn’t. Because of what Phishes said, I couldn’t tell whether everything that happened yesterday was real or a dream.

‘Yeah. It’s a dream. Physics in reality are cowards, so they can’t say such things.’

He clearly said so. Moreover, the one I’m in right now is my room… … I couldn’t help but think that yesterday’s events were just a dream.

But I didn’t give up hope. Obviously, if yesterday’s events were not simply a dream, his reaction today would certainly be different.

If yesterday’s events were real, he would surely look at me with affectionate eyes today.

Moreover, today is the last social gathering. I have no choice but to ride a carriage with Physis, avoiding the people I don’t want to see… … You will know then whether yesterday’s events were a dream or a reality.

“I’ll be sure to visit you next time, Princess Rodenov.”

“Didn’t you decide to call me Adylun, not Princess Rodenof? Next time we meet, I just want you to call me by my first name. Anyway, I’ll be waiting for you to come too. Ayla.”

At my words, Ayla smiled brightly and nodded her head.

“Yeah!”

The long social gathering ended in vain, and I rarely smiled. Now I can stop playing meaningless plays. Phishes and I climbed into the wagon, maintaining a cool attitude on the outside.

“It is finally over. It was an act I never wanted to do again.”

As soon as I got into the wagon, I told Phissis. How will he react to me? Will you put affection in those eyes, or will you put only the usual kindness.

“okay. Oh, by the way, Adilune.”

His gaze turns to me. However, what is contained is not any kind of love… … Just the kindness he always showed me. Slightly disappointed, I lowered my eyes.

“Yeah?”

“Are you okay inside?”

“… … yes? Ah yes. Why is that all of a sudden?”

no way… … Wasn’t it a dream? When a slightly swollen heart fills up, and disappointment turns into anticipation.

“You collapsed in front of my door yesterday, so I sneaked into your room. At the bottom, it was almost a big deal. If someone with a dark heart or other people had discovered it, the play would have been useless.”

“is that so… … . Did something happen?”

“Yeah. He just knocked on my door a couple of times… … You just fell down. You don’t know how upset I was. I said Please value yourself a little more.”

Phishis’ somewhat stern attitude blew expectations away. oh It was a dream too.

“… … Yes. I will be careful.”

“It’s a shame I found it… … Anyway, I moved it to the bedroom. From now on, drink in moderation. Did you know?”

“Yeah… … .”

I answered sullenly.

He was looking at me with a slightly bitter expression, probably angry at my sloppy attitude… … I couldn’t help but feel sad about that.

I hoped it wasn’t a dream, but… … It was nothing more than a dream after all. Perhaps that dream will gradually fade from my memory. A fragment of a dream always disappears leaving regrets behind.

“I’m sorry, Phissis. I just drank because I was stuffy, but I didn’t expect that to happen… … .”

“You seem to have reflected enough, so I’ll stop here.”

I apologized to him again, but he was still a little angry with me, and he kept his cold attitude.

I knew full well that he was worried about me and said such things. However, I couldn’t hide my regret for him.

A little bit of a tingling feeling was brewing. Is it because I heard him say I love him in a dream and exchanged affectionate kisses? It’s just a dream, a dream that will be forgotten in my mind in a moment… … The aftermath was so great that I blushed a little.

“eww.”

“Ah, Adilun?”

Tears flow without me knowing. just sad It’s so sad that the moment we confirmed each other’s feelings was simply a dream… … I couldn’t stop crying.

When I burst into tears, Physis looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I couldn’t help myself, even if I was pathetic and pathetic.

“Ugh… Whoops.”

“Oh, Adilun. why are you crying all of a sudden Is it because I am angry?”

“No, no. It’s not… … . I just had a dream today, but it’s so sad that it’s not true. So, suddenly, I started crying… … .”

Phissis was flustered, not knowing what to do, as she watched me continue to shed tears. Even after seeing it, I couldn’t stop crying.

As if a dam had collapsed in my heart, I felt a certain emotion inside me that I had not recognized before rushing like a wave.

Affection. or love. I didn’t just like him, I wanted him to be my lifelong companion who would stand by my side.

* * *

I couldn’t help but be very upset.

It was because I didn’t know that I would be so sad that yesterday’s event was simply a dream. Like a child facing an unresolved problem for the first time, I just stared at Adilun, not knowing what to do.

What should I do?

She was weeping in a way I had never seen before. But even so, I couldn’t tell the truth. Because I wasn’t qualified yet.

Because I didn’t dare to tell her that I loved her. I still haven’t forgotten the deadline I promised her. During that time, I had to keep my promise to her.

Even though I knew she liked me, I couldn’t help but do it. Until that deadline, I swore to atone for my sins to the best of my ability.

If I am easily swayed by this circumstance and break my oath, I will do even more harm to her. She said it clearly before. He said he wanted to stand on the same line without any sense of debt.

I also think so. If I convey my feelings to her like this, surely she might be happy now.

However, I will deal with her with a sense of debt within me, and in the end, it may be the starting point of another problem.

so that… … It had to be clear to break up.

So I did not dare to speak the truth. instead.

I stretched out my arms toward the woman who was sitting facing me.

“… … !”

I can feel her startled. But I didn’t care about her attitude and hugged her tightly.

until she calms down. After a while, she seemed to have regained some stability in my arms.

“I don’t know what kind of dream it was, but Adilune.”

“… … Yeah.”

But the tears that still lingered seemed to show me the kind of sadness she felt.

“If you miss that dream that much… … Surely that dream will come true. Definitely.”

“… … Will it?”

“Yeah. I’ll bet you. So don’t cry no more And… … I’m sorry I just got angry. I’m worried about you… … .”

“I know that. Thanks for your concern, Phissis.”

I listened to her answer and tried to relax my arms.

“Physis.”

“Yeah?”

“Can you stay like this for a little while longer?”

At Adilun’s words, I gave strength to my arm again and hugged her tightly. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer you, Adilune.

But, sure.

The day I am sure that I have atoned for my sins to you, I will confess to you.

So just wait until then.

The carriage arrived in Rodenov in no time, and we returned to Caltix Castle. To the Duke, who asked if everything was alright at the social gathering, I told him that everything was fine, but that Adirun had made a friend.

“friend?”

“Yeah. Ayla Isvanthe is a princess… … He said that Adiluun had saved him before and wanted to get to know her.”

“He was actually a nice person.”

“A friend. hahahaha. Good thing. That’s it. Ah, Phishes by the way.”

“Yeah. dismissal.”

“They found you at your home. It’s not a big deal, I just wanted to say hello. So try contacting Sujeonggu later.”

“ah. All right.”

You found me in Ortaire?

I immediately returned to my room and activated the crystal ball.

[Is this Phish?]

“Yes, father. I just returned to Rodenov after the social gathering.”

[Is that so?]

“Yeah. But what did you find me for?”

[It’s not a big deal… … This time your mother used the torch.]

“Your mother?”

[yes. It’s been a long time since I’ve been wanting to see you. Just in time, Ortaire is also in full swing right before harvest, so the wheat field scenery is quite beautiful, so stop by Ortaire to give Princess Rodenov a good look.]

“uh… … I’ll ask Adirun first, and if he agrees, I’ll go with you soon. But now the social gathering has just ended… … I think you should rest a bit.”

[Let me know that for now.]

“Yes, Father.”

Ortaire. Certainly, Ortaire’s bountiful land shines just before harvest. A field of wheat with golden waves, by itself, evokes a certain scent in the heart.

Seeing that the scene from that time is deeply rooted even for me, who lived violently because I was not aware of my previous life… … It can certainly be said to be a marvelous level of beauty.

I’m sure Adyllun will like it too.

Moreover, since I had the idea of taking her on a tour of Ortaire someday, I had a good opportunity.

I thought I should tell her next time… … I threw myself into bed at once. There was not much physical fatigue, but I was quite tired mentally from all that had happened at the social gathering, so I was able to fall asleep quickly.
