It wasn’t long before the room became quiet.

I lowered my arms that were wrapped over my head and my eyes grew wide.

The intruder was slowly disintegrating, falling to the floor like a dead moth, black smoke rising from the remains.

A man standing with a shining blue sword turned to me. My heart pounded. I didn’t know if it was because of what just happened or because of the unexpected first encounter.

Or is it because of the overwhelming aura that flowed from him? His silvery blue hair, clear red eyes, sharp jawline, and defined facial features were quite similar to Ellenia’s.

However, their personalities were quite different, and if Ellenia was like an ancient, cool-headed ice princess, this man felt much more barbaric and dangerous.

The gaze directed at me was so overwhelming that it made me flinch.

Why are you staring at me like that?

“What’s the reason?”

 

“What?”

 

“Why did you turn that off?”

Had I been the culprit who had turned off the torch, that tone of voice would have reduced me to a blubbering mess, who couldn’t even give a proper excuse.

 

Do you think I made this fuss on purpose?

 

“I don’t know why…”

 

“You didn’t even have to do this. Don’t you have enough attention already? Or is this one of the excuses to use for later?”

 

He seemed to think that I was already trying to figure out an excuse for breaking up. I knew he wouldn’t like me, but this is one of the worst first images I’d ever made, so there’s a long way to go.

 

It was then that Ellenia came up.

 

She said calmly, facing her brother, “Don’t rush her, brother. We don’t know who did it yet. Even if she did, she wouldn’t have expected this to happen. In Romagna, you wouldn’t have had torches like here.”

 

I love you, Ellen. Even if I die, I will save you and die.

(T/N: lmao i choked xDDDD)

I reached out to Ellenia’s back and clasped her dress.

 

She was dressed in casual clothes, not pajamas.

 

She was probably drinking tea or something.

 

“I was just so cold that I woke up…”

 

“What? Speak up.”

He was quite the character.

I took a short breath. It was very natural for tears to form around my eyes. But it was not just acting that made my voice tremble.

 

Holding the sword, with a heated gaze, was my husband. He looked like Satan incarnate who had just come out of the desert.
