Morning sunlight streams in through the gaps in the curtains.
Soft black hair touches my neck and feels warmth in my chest.
Kuro, good morning.
I'm still sleepy. Kuro, I'm still sleeping.
"Yes, yes. Then I'll get up first."
When he woke up, Kuro, who had lost my futon, moved his coldly rounded body.
Beside getting ready for the morning, Kuro still doesn't seem to wake up. Kuro usually has a lot of time to sleep. I was taught that it is necessary to restore strength in a kingdom with little nature, since I came here to the land of the Dark Spirit.
However, even when you come to this place where nature should be easy for many spirits to spend your time, you probably like to wobble around to see how well you are sleeping.
"I'm going out a little bit." I'll be right back. "
I knew I would not get a reply, but I called out and left the room.
On the other side, of course, it was Louis' room. In the morning, it is my daily routine to go and see Louis' face after I have finished preparing.
I opened the curtains in Louis' room and changed the air. Don't forget to look at your complexion and speak up.
You know you won't open your eyes yet, but you'll always be expecting it. Today is the day I might wake up.
-Con.
“It's Rachel, Master Louis. I'll be in your room.”
Knock as usual and call out. Then pull the door knob slowly after opening the breath.
"Huh...?"
The room with the curtains closed is still dim. In the bed of the room, as usual, a beautiful person is lying down with her eyelids tightly closed.... I was supposed to.
The room was different from what I had imagined, but my head turned pure white for a moment.
--Why, why, why...
The room with the door open was filled with natural light.
That's why the curtains were already open.
That's why I instantly understood who the one man standing by the window was. Even without looking here, the blonde hair sparkled in the sunlight and snapped softly in the wind from the open window.
"Le, Louis... ma'am..."
A muffled voice seemed to have arrived. He leaned back and slowly looked back.
--Mr. Louie... she really woke up...
Tears overflowed unexpectedly when I was touched. The leg that rushed forward couldn't move well.
However, the moment I looked back at Lady Louis' face, the sound of the glass breaking rang in the back of my head.
"... why... are you...? Is this a dream?"
Looking back, Lady Louis looked suspicious the moment she saw my face. The pupils that looked like they were shooting at us were cold. Those eyes were the same as the last time I saw him in my previous life.
I thought about it over and over again. I was sure that when Louis woke up, he would look at my face and call me "Rachel" with a gentle smile.
But it was only a convenient dream for me.
I haven't thought about this possibility since I heard about the parallel world from the Dark Spirit King Nell. Still, there's not enough time to actually admit it.
He was not the Louis I had been waiting for, but the Highness I had disappointed so many times that I lost my trust.
