43. Someone’s Beginning, Ending, and Beginning

There are times when I suddenly feel that way. When I saw a person who lived a hard life die in vain.

A human life is lighter and more fleeting than you think. I also had such sentimental feelings.

No matter how hard I worked, I could feel such a death that only left those who remained sad without being rewarded like that.

It must be a tremendous thing to be able to save someone with someone’s life.

Because the life of a useless person can save the life of a useful person in this world.

However, if you exchange the life of someone who needs another person in this world.

Is that really the right thing to do? Was it a good thing

It has been three months since Yuni sacrificed her life to save Froden.

In the meantime, a lot has happened.

She woke up the young lady of Viscount May Lille who was lying on the side of the road, but she couldn’t remember anything.

She wondered why she was there, and why she had come all the way to the outskirts with this kind of clothes.

Seeing him act like a person who has lost all of his memories of the past few years, ah, this person must have been possessed too. I was convinced.

She gave her false information that she was being manipulated by her witch and lost her memory and that she had been acting all this time.

Her May Lil The young lady was puzzled, but seemed to be convinced. That’s because there was a corpse of someone who looked like a witch nearby, and I was standing in an unfamiliar place with no memory of her.

“Can you take me home?”

“Sure. I have to go home too.”

There is no home for her to return to, but first of all, I tricked her into returning to her empire and sent her back to her domain.

She still complains about how difficult it is to become a competent person while being manipulated by letters.

While wandering around aimlessly with nowhere to go, she met a butler who served as a maid in Froden. Hadun still appeared in front of me with his unchanging appearance.

She said it was wandering, but in reality it lasted less than an hour.

I just grabbed a nearby inn and sat there for a while before he came to me. Come to think of it, he said that Froden is running something called an information guild.

Once again, I realized how great he had accomplished.

I was led by Hadun’s hand and guided to the annex within the duchy. Emily, who had been away for a while on her maternity leave, stood in front of her mansion, weeping.

As soon as she saw me, she burst into tears and brought me to her arms, and now that she’s a parent, she cried so loudly that I wished she’d calmed down a bit.

Of course, I, who thought Emily had died as well, burst into tears as well, so she didn’t bother to say those words out of her mouth.

When I was spending peaceful days at the mansion, I would always look back anxiously once a day.

I still get the illusion that an evil spirit is clinging to my back and laughing at me saying “hehehe”.

When I heard the hallucinations of that bizarre and unpleasant laugh, I would tremble because my legs were so weak that I wanted to collapse on the spot.

I know very well that she is gone now.

One day, while dreaming of the future, I saw what evil spirits were doing.

At the time, I thought it would be a dream, but now I just live my life accepting it as a reality. Because that gives me some peace of mind.

“Miss, would you like to bring the car back?”

Emily spoke to me as I stared out the window and lost myself in contemplation.

When she lowered the cup at her words, she could see that the steaming tea had cooled.

She stretched out her hand, took the saucer with her left hand, and gently lifted the cup handle with her right hand.

If you pour freshly brewed tea, you can feel the heat through the outer wall of the cup even if you are holding the handle of the cup.

The tea water slowly flows into your mouth as it touches your lips. The bitter and deep aroma lingers in the mouth and comes out again through the nose.

The cold tea that had cooled down satisfied the tongue and nose, then went down the esophagus and disappeared in the room, leaving a scent behind.

“No. Even cold tea has its own taste. Emily’s tea tastes great when it’s warm, but it’s still the best when it cools down over time.”

“The lady is also Cha-am. You’ve been feeling a lot of nudity. You said you weren’t like that before.”

A smile came to Emily’s lips without realizing it.

“People change when they love.”

“That’s right. I did change when I met my husband, had children again, and fell in love.”

“Yes. Emily’s been way too pushy lately. Because her auntie is already done.”

I made fun of her while laughing at her meanly.

There are not many people in this world who can joke around and laugh and talk like this.

At least, all the family members who were in good standing died, and the family members who took care of me all met the same fate.

Without Emily, she might have suffered from depression.

“Recently, when I see the young lady, Prince Froden… Ah.”

Emily’s complexion turned pale when she brought up his name in the midst of laughing and joking around for a long time.

Her breath caught in her throat, and tinnitus rang in her ears. I felt something choking me.

“Ah, lady! Breath! You need to breathe!”

“Heo Eok!”

At those vague words, the breath I had been holding involuntarily was relieved. The blurred vision returned and the tinnitus disappeared.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry… Miss. I was wrong.”

When she turned her head, Emily’s face was covered in tears again.

Even though she asked me not to beg like a sinner because it wasn’t your fault every time, she apologized every time like this.

“It’s okay. I’m fine, Emily. Could you give me the car back?”

Inhaling, I held out the cooled teacup. Looking at her trembling hands, Emily quietly took the teacup and backed away.

When the bright and lively woman disappeared, only silence filled her room.

It feels like the slowly setting sun has taken away the light in this room as well as the sound.

Darkness enveloped the surroundings, staining them with darkness, seeping into my emotions.

I reached out and grabbed the hand of someone lying quietly next to me, trying to control my feelings of infinite depression.

In the suffocating silence where no sound could be heard, the sound of her clothes brushing loudly came.

The rustling sound was as if someone was shouting into their ears.

“Proden.”

I took his warm hand and brought it to my forehead, mimicking the appearance of praying.

Proden. Froden Excellent Young master, my lovely fiancé now.

I have been lying down for three months without being able to open my eyes and regain consciousness.

At the cost of Yuni’s life, her heart beat and breath again, her complexion returned and she became a human from her corpse, but her consciousness did not return.

There is something Emily said while watching this.

It was like this after I suffered from a lot of pain.

Then it must have been in a strange state where only the body was alive because it had no soul.

However, I couldn’t move or even feel my soul.

In addition, it is impossible to ignore the aftereffects left behind by evil spirits, such as difficulty breathing when someone else hears his name.

“Actually, I know how, Froden.”

As the last witch left in this world, she knew what kind of wish would bring Froden back.

However, she hesitates because she doesn’t know what the price will be. Just in case he ever gets his powers back.

But I understand it in my head. There is only one way to save him.

“Romeo. Oh Romeo. Why are you Romeo?”

A line from a story that the evil spirit recites every day.

A story that ended in tragedy when their paths diverged. I thought that Proden and I were like that now.

“I will do anything to save you. However, I’m afraid you’ll be sad about what happens after that. I’m hesitant because I’m scared.”

Tears ran down his cheeks and dripped onto his body.

I agonized and agonized as I watched the teardrops slowly soaking the bed linen.

After three months, she finally made up her mind.

After thinking about it for so long, she doesn’t know why she suddenly made up her mind. It just seemed like now was the time.

I had a strong intuition that if it were not now, I would not be able to retrieve his soul. No, it was safe to say that it was foreknowledge.

I felt like I was peeking into the future with my mana moving by itself.

“I don’t believe in destiny. Death may have taken your soul, Froden, but my magic can kill it and bring you back.”

So, whatever the cost, I will bring you back.

“This time it’s my turn to save you.”

I deliberately smiled coolly. I could feel the tear marks drying up on my cheeks, but I ignored it. Although my eyes were sore and my nose was stuffy from crying.

I made a wish. Please bring his lost soul back here.

As I felt my mana draining away, something warm was slowly approaching me.

Instinctively, I knew it was Froden’s soul.

His spirit hovered around him and, as if finding a connection with his body, entered his body in an instant.

[The price of bringing the soul that is caught in the time axis is not enough with his life.]

Suddenly, the surroundings became dark, and huge spheres I had never seen before were floating around, and I was positioned in the darkness that was breathtaking just by looking at it.

“Grrr…”

I was startled by the sound of boiling phlegm and looked to the side of her to see a face I had never seen before, drooling with its whole body grotesquely twisted.

I saw her face for the first time, but I recognized that she was an evil spirit that had taken over my body.

In an instant, the intent to kill lingered. I wanted to kill her by squeezing her mana, but in an instant, her mana was empty.

[That’s my toy. It’s a little difficult if you try to kill it.]

“Are you a star?”

There was no answer, but that was enough. She met the subject who made the wishes of the stars come true.

[One life, one witch. That was enough for the price. However, the soul is a different matter. It was a soul that would come back on its own if another 30 years had passed. I couldn’t stand that much, so I wished for too much. Human greed really knows no bounds. I admire it every time.]

“For those 30 years, you never know what kind of pain he will live through, right?”

[Didn’t you ever think that you would be safe?]

“A creature called a woman in love is, to the point of being annoying. She constantly wants to be loved and validated. At the same time I want to give her that love. They are troublesome creatures who think that love requires an emotional exchange between both parties.”

By the way, how do you check if the other person is lying down like that?

I could see the stars smiling at Tina’s bold words. She couldn’t be seen, but she seemed to be acting that way.

[Nice answer, but that doesn’t reduce the price.]

She thought so. I have already abandoned the idea of persuading such a powerful being with words.

Can’t you just show generous mercy?

I leaned on such a trivial idea, but nothing changed in the end.

[For the rest of your life, the clock in your life will stop and repeat.]

————————

“Please break off the marriage with me, Gongja.”

When I saw his shocked face, my heart felt torn as well. When I saw him trying to control his expression and take this position, he unknowingly hit me on the head.

I felt something strangely familiar. Watching the hand go through his head, he raised his hand and looked at his translucent body.

A vague feeling, as if I could barely remember it, tickled me and caused annoyance.

I tried to take out my anger on this strange person who took over my body, but to no avail.

‘Young master, I am here! That person is fake!’

But that voice did not reach Gongja. I hated my body for walking confidently with his mind wandering.

**

A distance of 0 meters where you can feel each other’s body odor. A hug where you feel the body temperature of your loved one with your whole body was enough to give each other the feeling that they are in love even without words.

But I decided to add more here. An expression that I didn’t practice often after making up my mind every time.

“Froden, I love you.”

At that, Froden smiled brightly and replied the same.

“Me too, I love you. Tina.”

I felt a sense of déjà vu at those words, but the feeling of happiness was greater than that, and swallowed the déjà vu.

Once again, I gave him a familiar lips and kissed him happily.

**

Wishes made by the witch gnaw away at her body and take the place of her body.

The serpent of letters made up of countless desires and letters coiled around and slithered around with wishes.

I saw a scene where a snake made of letters bites Froden’s neck.

Involuntarily, I screamed and ran as hard as I could, but Froden was already dead.

“No. Don’t do this, Froden… Please, please don’t leave me…”

I was used to it, but drowned in the unfamiliar feeling of hopelessness, and my consciousness fell into sadness.

While I was in a daze, Yuni came up to me and pushed me away and revived him by paying with her life.

**

Can’t you just show generous mercy?

I leaned on such a trivial idea, but nothing changed in the end.

[For the rest of your life, the clock in your life will stop and repeat.]

**

“Please break off the marriage with me, Gongja.”

How many hundreds or thousands of times have you repeated it? Now I’m so used to it that I’ve been so used to it that I’ve been watching this scene that I’ve been in the middle of a long time.

In a little while, the memories will disappear again.

Then I’m going to have this horrible nightmare all over again.

And again to see Froden die, again to grieve, and again to start again, and again to see this terrible nightmare prologue.

Ah, this is the price the stars said.
