Start A New Game

Fireworks that explode. Guitar tunes and lyrics that resonate. And the constant laughter. The festival in the metropolitan comas was in strife with other cities. But if anyone likes a festival like that, there must be someone who doesn't like it very much.

Night is not dark at all because of the festival lights. The exhausted Sahan leaves the bustling city and walks the road by himself.

It was about that time when George stopped drinking beer because he had been walking for a long time without destination. He senses a faint cry coming from somewhere. I've heard voices somewhere.

He slowly walks to where the sound comes from. And he eventually found out.

Sitting on a bench in the corner of an unknown garden, crying with her face buried in her knees.

Sahan approaches Cullen, who is quiet but terribly drooling. I thought I could understand why she was crying.

Three days ago, the Red Moon army arrived at Meden, the central city of the Cullen family, the ‘Meredith’ family. There was a great welcome, but Cullen's expression was always dark.

She was invited to Meredith's mansion to find out why. Cullen is a house of her own family, and she is not welcome here. Even the acolytes who work in the mansion.

When they arrived at Meredith's mansion, Cullen's father, Konjin de Meredith, welcomed them to the Virgin Islands. But the target was not Cullen, but Forgiveness.

He hesitates, alternating between Cullen and Forgiveness, and soon greets her with a firm grip. Konjin's eyes were dazzled with any complex emotion, and he was looking at the scene with a crying, very sad look on his face.

“…… What are you doing here? It's a festival.”

Sahan sits next to her pretending not to know anything.

Curlin glances at him, sniffing his nose and moving his butt toward him in a smurfy motion. And then, please, make a gesture to go away.

“ … ”

But after she didn't give up, she continued to stay away from him, confirming that she had followed him again. As the bizarre situation persists, Kurlin finally reaches the end of the elongated bench, at which point she falls down.

“Oh! Are you okay? ”

“… Oh really..”

Curlin clenches his teeth tightly on the floor and looks at his forgiveness. Clear blood flows from tight-knit lips, and eyes overflow with tears and grudges.

Sahan looked at her with mischievous eyes.

“... Why, why... Why are you doing this? Can't you just leave me alone? Ugh... Why do you keep coming at me?!! Why!!!! “

Cullen lets out a shout that could tear your ears. Such a cry of desperation and deep sadness.

Sahan just had to look at her quietly.

* * * * *

As everyone who was invited to Meredith's mansion began to fall asleep, Sahan followed the steward's call of 'Senior' and headed somewhere. In one of his arrivals, there was an old man old enough to be uncomfortable with his behavior.

“Haha... Are you the guy you used to hang out with, our daughter? Wizard Forgiveness. Haha. You're as bounteous as that talent. You're so handsome. You're so tall... You're amazing. ”

“.. Yes? Ah...”

In the words of the old man who introduced himself as Cullen's grandfather, he scratched his back neck and avoided the answer.

“It's okay. It's okay. Life, if you were born as a man's blacksmith, you'd have to resonate with a lot of women. And you didn't do anything wrong in the first place, and you said my granddaughter was a traitor. None of our family cares. Hahaha.”

In the eyes of the old man who appeared to be full of deceit and smiled as if he understood it all, there was a desire close to greed.

“…… No, I've done a lot of things wrong. ”

“No, no, no. What could a man do wrong in a relationship between men and women? You don't have to put it in your heart, it's just something my granddaughter did wrong. Hmmm... By the way, the reason I called you... Hmmm. Have you ever heard of this story? ”

The old man said that with a sly and clever smile. A creepy smile that looks like a bug will pop out of your throat right now. Sahan wanted to avoid a position that felt this filthy, but the old man did not listen to his answer and continued to talk.

“There was one commoner in the past. The commoner is very talented. It was a special talent that made everyone jealous, jealous of the timing. With a lot of work in the war and a lot of fame.

But he had one problem. It was something I didn't know when I was a kid... but the older I got, the more talented I became and the more I lived with people, the more jealousy and jealousy kept me from getting better. ”

The old man clears his throat once for sure.

“Hmm. But more importantly... there was no shield against that time and jealousy. Because he was a commoner. Of course, there is an honorary title. But that was a useless title. You can't even give your children an heir. You're nothing but a fool to be cut off from your own rank... Who would recognize that as a nobleman? Wouldn't you say? Haha."

I don't want to hear the sound of stinging.

“Eventually, every time he did something, he was tagged with a mockery called 'sovereignty'. And in the end, he lost all honor and fell to ruin. I... I'm sorry to hear that.

A man of extraordinary talents who was so desperate, he even had the extreme thought of taking his own life. But then, an old man approached like a savior. The old man was the housewife of a reputable author, but there was one serious concern like that man. There was no son to inherit the throne. ”

Hearing that, Saehan clenched his fist tightly. I felt popular outside. Someone is leaning carefully against the door right now.

“To a desperate man, the old man said, ‘Marry my daughter and be my successor. I will give you the honor of being noble.Be my son and raise up my family.’ I said.

But the ordinary man replied, ‘I don't know who your daughter is, and I don't love her.’ He was a very wise and frustrating man. But the old man replied, ‘You don't have to love me. It's a woman's emotion. What's the point? I'm glad things got better in my marriage, and if they don't, I just have to be patient until my son is born. Once he's born, you can let him go. ’ ”

Hearing that, she bites her teeth tightly. The clenched fists tremble. That old man is a snake in a man's hood. At least a person shouldn't say that to his granddaughter. I wanted to pull out all the teeth that didn't fit my age.

“And he added, ‘It's convenient not to think of women as human beings like us. If only you and our family could make it so much easier to fly, neither you, nor me, nor our family. It's all good.’... What do you think? I'd like to hear your opinion on a story that has not yet been given an ending...”

As soon as I heard that, the reason for forgiveness flew away. I remembered the sad face of Cullen. A granddaughter mixed with her own blood. It should not be like this. As he becomes enraged, the door of the room opens roughly as he tries to roughen.

“... Grandpa!!!!! ”

It's Cullen. Her fury fills her face with distorted tears.

"I... I wonder who... doesn't look like my father..."

* * * * *

“.. You don't even like it... Why are you making me so miserable...”

She wraps her hands around her face. I was distressed. I hated it. What my grandfather did to that man, I felt so ashamed and disappointed that I couldn't stop crying now.

When I stood outside the door and overheard my grandfather's story, my heart stopped. I couldn't breathe. Whether I'm the only one, or a useless little girl in my family, my mind is still complicated and sad.

“... What are you crying about? Cry that you did something wrong. ”

He says, she disappears momentarily.

“Then I... should I smile? Do I have to smile now? You heard me. My grandfather doesn't even treat me like a human being, and the man that I really, really loved... sh... ha... you know what he said to me at the end? ”

I remembered that moment. She regrets everything she did back then. I realized I was wrong, and I shouldn't have done that. After realizing it, I thought I was separated just by my half-conscious actions. So I regretted it even more.

“ … ”

“You know, you know. I know. Why didn't you tell me? Say that again. You can't have forgotten that. ”

But over time, I've been objectively distant and thought about his behavior, his tone, and all of his attitudes. The self that always wanted him and the self that he refused to get close to.

“... then. Never. You never tried to love me, did you? You stopped the relationship from beginning to end. ”

At that time, he didn't even try to say a word. I always treated him coldly. He had a lot to hide about himself, and when he asked, he was just angry and didn't tell me. It was not a romantic attitude. He just said he 'confirmed’ our relationship that it would end ‘unconditionally’ with me one day. That is why they called each other 'a dirty, ugly, ugly, crazy, sinister relationship'.

That is, even if he was blind to love and did not commit such terrible things, he would have ended it someday.

“ ……. ”

Forgiveness was silent. It was in his favor. It's a perfect fact, without one lie.

Cullen's fault. it may have been the result of some part of his faults. Like she said, she didn't even try to love her, and she hid a lot. Cullen would have no choice but to doubt himself.

“But why are you doing this now? Why are you approaching me again? Sorry again? Then you really are a bad son of a bitch...”

Cullen says that and turns away. But Saehan grabbed her wrist like that.

“Oh, why! ”

She rubs his hands roughly.

“... I just don't want to talk about it right now... I just don't want to get too excited. ”

“... what? That doesn't make any sense...”

“Family business. It's never your fault. ”

The past has wronged each other a lot. But this time, I really wanted to help her. I want to help her take pride in the recognition of everyone.

“ … ”

“Let's try. When you try and become a knight that no one can ignore, all together. Serzin, Ian, and me... Let's try and convince your family. Serzin and Ian are going to take off their clothes and help out, so...”

“But.”

Cullen looks at him with cold, tear-drying eyes.

“… Huh? ”

“Between Serzin and Ian... why are you in there? ”

Her voice trembles, unlike her cold appearance. I feel sorry for you as if you were crying right now.

“...... We have nothing to see. ”

Cullen turns around and runs quickly towards somewhere. She was just dazed. She had no choice but to look at her.
