“I see. It must have been a long time, but I turned around and it felt so short. ”
Princess Sena nods as if she agrees with you.
‘It seemed like a long but short time. ’
Though it was a mutually beneficial marriage.
Surprisingly, marriage was not so bad.
‘It was annoying at the time, but in retrospect... I think it was quite enjoyable. ’
We went together to a garden full of unsolved ice flowers.
In the past, we explored the rare existence of ice dragons together.
Festive together, etc.
I had a good time with her.
“Recall is a privilege only for the runner to see. ”
“Memory is... strange. Obviously, those memories that were hateful and painful at the time can now be remembered with a smile. ”
“So what are you feeling right now? ”
When asked by Baikal, Sena tilts her head and smiles.
“Refinement?”
“Delightful.”
Not long ago, I secured the Ice Witch's seal.
As a matter of fact, their contract is over.
I was hoping for a different answer.
Was it the only time I saw a little happiness in all those little moments that I spent with you?
‘.. as well. ’
After all, they were pre-contracted couples.
‘It was the biggest thing I didn't expect to feel in the first place...’
Different time and different environment
Moreover, they were a different couple.
It didn't make sense to have these feelings.
"Yes. If she's out of my sight, this emotion will go away. ’
Emotions are like white eyes that differ in appearance depending on the environment.
"Yes, it will sag..."
“And a little regret? ”
But as Senna continued, Baikal opened his eyes wide.
I'll keep my regular face soon.
“Too bad... what does that mean? ”
“Well, what's the pity? ”
Let's ask her a silly question.
Baikal shows a faint smile and then switches the topic over for a few moments.
“How are you feeling? ”
“Body? Oh...”
Sena looks down at her arm with a bitter smile.
Her arm had previously been engraved with a tattoo of an ice flower.
“ · · · ”
Unlike the beginning, the petals were quite far apart.
“It's okay. The Ice Witch's Curse was nothing. ”
Senna smiles, covering her arms naturally.
Baikal looks at her with a worried look.
“I shouldn't have brought you to such a place even if things got out of hand... It was my mistake. ”
“That's what I wanted, right? My people are repairing the settlement. Of course I have to work with them. ”
Maybe it's because of her beautiful smile.
Baikal throws another horse instead of a horse in his mouth.
“If you leave here... do you have somewhere to go?" Are you going back home? ”
“Really? You know what happens when I go back? ”
Although formal, she was the wife of Baikal.
But if she goes back to her hometown, I'm sure she'll get a lot of stories from the royal family.
Furthermore, the relationship between the two countries was almost adversely affected.
“Is that so? Then...”
I was going to say that I was reminded of the Baikal a little.
Senna smiles and says.
“I'm going to the Eastern Human Kingdom. You know what? There's a desert where it doesn't rain. There is a hidden underground kingdom beneath the hot sand, and no one has seen it. ”
“ · · · ”
Maybe it's because of what she said.
The silent Baikal opens his mouth slowly.
“Humans are wicked and crueler than I am. I think it's too dangerous to go to their kingdom. ”
“Really? Well, let's head west, shall we? I wanted to see the annual Demibeast Festival. ”
A bical that shakes her head again at her words.
“Demibeasts are fierce and violent. Among them, it is said that the ferocity of the Towers is equal to that of Giants. It's dangerous."
Sena frowns at his repeated warnings.
“Do you have somewhere to go if it's dangerous here or there? ”
“Do you really need to go somewhere else? ”
“What? ”
When asked, Baikal stretches out his arms.
“This place is beautiful enough. Nor the snow in the dawn, nor the fields full of snow flowers. These are spectacles that can only be seen here. ”
“It's definitely beautiful, but you see it every day, right? ”
A bikal that shakes its head firmly to the princess' question.
“Don't be fooled by familiarity. Every day, if you see the world with a new mind, even the day you used to look beautiful. ”
“ · · · ”
I wonder what he said.
Sena opens her eyes wide and smiles slowly.
“All you have to do is talk.”
“I'm just telling you how I feel. ”
“Really? Did you really just say that? I think I'm missing something.”
Sena glances at Baikal with her ponytail.
The Baikal gives no answer, and she lets out a few tears.
“Usually, I don't have a tough choice, and I seem to be hesitating today. ”
“ · · · ”
“You could have just told me not to leave, is it that hard to say that? ”
Suddenly, she stabbed him in the heart.
“I... it's...”
Baikal blushes his face, blabbing nonsense.
“ · · · ”
Hundreds of times in my head.
Why is it so difficult to take out a single word?
Are you afraid that I'll be rejected? ’
A valiant warrior and king of the realms, he can hardly hold a woman captive.
It couldn't have happened, and it shouldn't have happened.
‘I didn't think I still had this weakness. But... I must admit. ’
She's a pretty big part of his life after all.
‘Even if this decision were to go down like snow... I won't leave any regrets. ’
A clear Baikal.
He slowly bends his knees and puts his hands in front of her.
“I want to extend our contract. ”
“You want to... extend the contract? ”
Princess Sena smiles at Baikal's bold offer.
‘Don't just say what you have to say. ’
Is it really that hard for him to say that he wants to be with you more?
What a magnificent Giant.
‘Well, you know, it's a different look, but it's fascinating. ’
Who do you think would have seen such a vicious bical fall so far?
“Is that why you thought about the duration? ”
“Yes. It was originally until the Ice Witch's rebound was over, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to extend either of them to their death." ”
Princess Sena smiles brightly at his proposal close to confession.
“Can I think of that as a proposal? ”
“.. we're already married. ”
“What? It was a contractual marriage, right? ”
Sena, who was looking at the Baikal, sighed.
Look straight at him.
“Well, let's say you're extending the contract. So let me ask you one question. Does this contract involve your sincerity? ”
“I am... willing to throw away my throne. ”
Maybe it's because of his sincere words.
She steps closer and asks again.
“Tang Khan and I. If I asked you to choose between the two, which would you choose? ”
“I won't miss either of them. ”
“.. there's no such answer! ”
She was turning her head in a playful manner.
Baikal whispers in her arms, carefully hugging her body.
“I'm greedy. ”
“Then promise me. I forgive you if you promise not to leave the other woman with me. ”
“I promise, no one will sit next to me but the Tang Khan on my head. ”
I wonder if you liked Baikal's answer.
She also hugs him silently with her eyes closed.
“ · · · ”
Around the time the snow piled up on the shoulders reached the ridge.
It was only by virtue of letting her go.
“Don't forget to say that. If you're used to deceiving me, then you won't look back and go home. Okay?”
“That's not going to happen. I promise you in the name of Tang Khan. ”
Reassure her that Baikal mentioned his god.
When Serena tried to hug him again with a satisfactory smile.
Tuk
Suddenly, a petal falls from the ice flower that was on her arm and begins to disappear.
Tuk
One leaf.
Tuk
Another leaf.
Soon all the petals will fall.
“ · · · ”
Her complexion suddenly turned pale.
“Sena!”
She shouts in haste, noticing her sudden change.
“.. it's okay. It's nothing... nothing. ”
“It's no big deal? ”
Even white skin is paler.
Your body's freezing like an ice cube. It's nothing.
“What the... what the... what the... what the...”
When the bewildered Baikal spoke.
Woong
Suddenly there was a chill in her body.
Her body begins to cool at a rapid rate.
“I'm... fine. Don't... worry... so much. ”
“It's okay! It's okay!! Even if you're okay, I'm not okay! ”
Baikal hugs her.
It crazily returns to the palace across the snow.
“Ride! Ride!! Where are you! Get in!!! ”
An old, ugly Giant rushes in front of him and chokes his head as if he were leaving the palace.
“You summoned me, my lord. ”
“There's no need for formalities! Take a look at her now! Now!!"
I've been looking all over for the princess on Baikal's orders.
A flame that found her arm painted with a crooked cane.
“ · · · ”
Tar's expression hardened.
Baikal's expression distorts.
“Did you find it? Did you find out why? ”
“Well... I guess you were cursed by a witch. ”
“... cursed? ”
Tar nods at his question and points to Senna's arm.
“Among the stories passed down among the Giants, there is a story like this. Those who are cursed by the Ice Witch are cursed and become cold corpses all the time. ”
“So... she's cursed by a witch. ”
Tar hurries to nod at the sound of even the frenzy.
“It's an old tale, I'm not sure, but I... I guess I should say so. ”
“How do I break the curse? ”
“.. Yes? ”
“I'm asking how to break the curse. If you're cursed, there must be a way to break the curse. ”
The burning that shakes its head while sweating cold.
“I-I 'm sorry, but I've heard that no one has ever missed a witch's curse. With all due respect, Princess...”
The old Giant said it carefully.
Kwazak
The blade pierces deep into the floor.
“Figure it out. If there's no way, make it up. If not, consider her death the last of your tribe. ”
“ · · · ”
The growling of a Bikal close to intimidation caused the old Giant to dig through the old memories with all his might.
I finally think of something, and suddenly I snap my lips off.
“The caster... yes! If you kill the cursed object, the curse will also be lifted from you! ”
“Are you sure? ”
I wasn't sure.
That was all the old Giant could think of.
“At least that's all I know.”
“ · · · ”
If that's what Tar, the longest of the Giants, says.
Maybe that's all there is.
Tuk
Without saying a word, pull out the Great Sword and it will be a bical on your back.
“Then... we must kill the witch. ”
Tarl is furious with the monarch's murmur, and hurries to stop him.
“Killing witches! We've only just strengthened the barrier, and the Elves are all gone! ”
There was no reason for the Elves to break the coven.
“Even if the elves agree to break the seal because they're crazy...”
Will Princess Sena live until then?
“Please reconsider...”
When tar had a hard time vomiting his opinions.
“Baikal...”
A weak voice echoes the bical ear.
“Sena... save your strength. You can live. I can definitely live. I will, and I will. ”
“Too bad. I thought I... finally understood... what happiness is.”
His first encounter was close to the worst.
What we found in our time together was a little happiness.
“We'll be happy. I'm just going through a little ordeal right now to be happy. ”
“Is that... it? When the time of trials is over, we will be happy.
Tuk
The words that were leaking out of my lips were cut off.
White arms are stretched out with no strength.
“ · · · ”
Princess Shen looks more than ever.
And Baikal's silent gaze at her turns red.
“After the time of trials... we... will surely be happy." I'm sure.
“My lord...”
His intermittent back seemed to be telling him how he felt.
“I wish I didn't know... Kuhahahahahahaha! ”
A frenzied laugh echoes through the palace.
No one dared open their mouth.
“I will never have this feeling again. You were my first... last. ”
When Baikal looked at Sena and whispered.
Twitch
At that moment, Baikal saw a slight tremor in her lips.
You didn't get a good look? ’
No, it's not.
There was definitely some subtle movement! I'm sure!
“ · · · ”
Baikal pushes his face close to her heart.
Biceps
“This...”
Apparently she's dead.
But he's alive.
In this contradictory situation, Baikal slowly looks up at the Tang Khan Apostle.
“Sena... is she alive? ”
[She's dead. But alive.]
“I want to... save her. Anything's fine. I'll do anything. I want to... save her. ”
If that's the way it's going to be, maybe it's possible.
Akma breaks her silence for a long time.
[It's not that there's no way. But... there will be sacrifices.Can you still endure them?]
“I can lay down my life! ”
The end of Baikal's cry, close to the cry of prayer.
Zec
He realized that his vision had returned to its original location.
End
