Unnamed Memory

I stopped dreaming.

Or maybe it's just that I don't remember, but when I wake up, I'm sure there's nothing left in his memory.

Ruth looks around when she wakes up from her bedroom.

I felt uncomfortable because I could not see the woman beside me, even though the night had not yet dawned.

"Rig?"

I'll call my name, but I don't see anything moving into a large room.

Ruth took her clothes in surprise and left the room to find her.

I don't want to admit that I live a life of being chased, but it will still be true.

Born by the king's play, Ruth spent the first decade or so after his birth in a corner of the royal palace.

Schools and martial arts to be packed, and slander and harassment to come sewing through those gaps.

Being a child, he lived in days like being chased shortly after he rested to protect his mother's position.

But his mother also died with his father's death.

I was sad, but I also knew it wasn't something to grieve about.

In Recai, when the king dies, the princess is buried together.

Her mother had been chosen as the pet princess because of the weakness of her position, but she was rather pleased with it.

I apologized to my son, who I was leaving behind, and my mother smiled and draped the poison cup.

Ruth was convinced of her mother's death because she found that the smile was not false.

And for more than a decade, Ruth also has a life to be pursued.

All he can do is pick the best of the limited options and not throw everything away and give up.

It's not the path I chose to take by stepping out, hoping.

He has also, at a minimum, kept only within his reach, just as many human beings have done so to protect the whispering freedom in their incapacity.

A new turning point that will soon come.

After being chased and jumping into it again, what will you see?

Ruth walks through the castle at night thinking blurry.

It is no coincidence that he was found looking like a rig.

Because I remembered the words of a woman who had begged me in a corner of her head not to "contact Noydia".

No way, Ruth, who went looking for a room with the Noydia humans in it, found her in front of one of them and looked up. Approaching the unlocked rig from behind, he grabs its shoulder silently and pushes it against the wall near each body.

"What are you doing"

"Le, Ruth"

"I hear what you're doing here. What are you doing while I sleep?"

Did you feel anger at the sharp words, she paled a little. Ruth stares at the agitating dark eyes.

"This is it if you think I made you clothes. If you want to be free, just wait till I'm gone..."

"No, this is"

"Then what can I do for the man inside?

The woman frowned as to whether the shoulder being held down hurt. But I can't loosen my strength when I know it.

Ruth took a step back with her tongue pounding when she realized she was being driven by a wrath she was ungrateful for. Hold her forehead with the hand that was grabbing her shoulder.

- - Even when I first saw her turned into a person, my trust in the "rig" didn't shake.

I never doubted that existence, my dear. He accepted the "rig" as such.

But now Ruth is frustrated with her, as if that trust had broken away brittle.

What the hell are the feelings that burn within you? He sighed in self-derision when he thought of it.

This is probably "jealous".

She tried to hide and go to another man. I am angry to see betrayal in that act of hers.

Even though a few hours ago she wanted to prioritize her life and leave it in the castle, Ruth couldn't contain her emotions after seeing her try to stop by another human being.

It seems to be very difficult at all, and if you know what I mean, you'll be scared yourself. Ruth tried to calm down the spirit of rippling when he covered his face with one hand.

"Ruth......"

"Shut up for a second."

I didn't have this kind of emotion when Rig remained a leopard. Instead, he respected his freedom and made it whatever he wanted.

But now that I can't forgive her for that, I guess that means that the emotions I have in the "rig" have changed.

Ruth thought that she also had the same love that she had always had for her, a person.

But it's not true. Now she's nothing more than a "woman" to Ruth. I've probably been strongly attracted to it since I first found out what it looked like.

"Rig, come on"

Reaching out, she fit heavily into Ruth's arms.

Supple temperature. Ruth exhales the air in her lungs into a presence that evokes scorching emotions.

"... bad. I got angry."

Its thoughts, its appearance, its dripping eyes, its delightful smile, the warmth it dedicates.

Everything can just be directed at him, and every single one of them seems terribly valuable.

She stood before him as a woman, and he loves her as a man. Noticed it, Ruth stared at the rig with bitterness.

"Damn. I've never been in love with a woman before."

"Is that because I'm a 'rig'?

"Because you're you, I guess."

Quite frankly, the rig blushes and leans just a little. A reaction that makes you feel naive. Seeing how adorable he looked, the man strengthened the power he could put in his arms.

I don't want to let her go. I wish to keep it beside me all the time. - If it's going to happen, risk it.

"Totally...... makes me want to greed"

"You don't have to go north."

"Don't be impotent."

"It's not impotent."

Rig looked behind him as he twisted his body and took it off his arm. At that time, the door opens as if we had shown each other.

Speaking of which, she was unlocked, when Ruth remembered, a man appeared at the door.

The man who had retained the belligerent girl in that yaki - a man with a samurai-like forged body - opens his eyes when he notices two people standing in the hallway.

The gray eyes captured the woman, and she remained solidified.

"No way...... Alta Ditiata?

Unfamiliar word. Ruth tilted her neck in surprise.

The man's gaze is pointing straight at the rig.

To the plundered question, she nodded silently without surprise. He stands up as if struck by lightning.

"What do you mean?

Looking at the two of them, who seemed to have some nasty circumstances, Ruth asked as she held the rig.

Hands turned to her hips. She smiles bitterly and looks up at the man.

I mean, I was originally born in Noydia.

"- What?"

A country surrounded by mountains, a mysterious country with blue forests.

Ruth was thus to find out in an unexpected cut about a neighboring country whose entirety was unknown.

"Alta Ditiata"

It means, in Noydia, a prophet who manipulates magic and preaches the Word of God.

Basically, it is considered a hereditary clergy, but the truth is that many adopted children from outside are also welcomed in order to preserve the power of magic.

Among them, "she" s mother was a man who had crossed from the western continent and had strong powers.

"She" was born when the mother was married to a man who is a cleric.

Ruth strokes the back of a leopard that is rounded in front of her.

"Sheride"

That's her real name, he said. A daughter who should have inherited her father and become a priest.

Ruth asked why she was in Recai as a leopard, but didn't get a clear answer back.

It just seems there's her own power involved and the man who currently rules Noydia. He remembers the words of a man from Noydia.

"Originally Noidia is a country ruled by the King and Alta Ditiata. Alta Ditiata hears the word of God, preaches the given word to the king and rule is exercised. Those prophecies are mostly about the weather, but the trust in the priesthood held by the people is serious and has great influence outside of politics. But I guess Luxa, one of the great nobles and criticizing the old faith, didn't like this system. One day I turned the king's nephew against his majesty, and when he used his children to rule the castle, he quickly seized the real power of the country."

If that is to be sarcastic, it would be "a short period of reform by competent individuals," Rigg said.

Luxa ruled the castle, while also attacking the priesthood and the humans around it, rendering it completely powerless.

And the men who chased the martial officers and civilians who had fled the castle, and managed to shake it off, are the ones who are currently staying at Willidis Castle.

When the man who had finished talking about the situation told him that he was a martial officer, he closed the conversation by saying that he would return to Noydia as soon as the injury had healed.

"What are we gonna do when we get home? Don't you just get caught?"

"Neudia didn't change the system beautifully either. The people live in fright because the puppet's king nephew is sifting through the atrocities, and there are fortifications in the south of the country that have not yet been reached by Luxa. If you can rendezvous with the remaining troops there and reclaim the King's capital, you will regain your former peace. There's a land survey of the king's capital. We'd better be there..."

By being chased around by the chasers, they were heading south, down the mountains of the southeast and feathering across the border with the rhinos.

Luckily it is now in the form of being protected by Castle Willidis, but if you mean it, I want to return to the country as soon as possible.

But to do that, he has to regain strength over the mountain - before the man who shows such annoyance, Rigg looked up at Ruth.

"Ruth, you can be angry with me if you don't deserve to think about it. But I still, my country matters, and I can't keep my mouth shut about this one. So I propose to you. - If there has been a fight between countries on this southwestern border. Still, will the king try to rip you off from here?

Ironic black eyes stare at him for his intertwined destiny.

And Ruth, who understood what she intended to do, looked at the unexpected third path and decided to reconsider her choice.
