‘Irene!’

Duguen!

‘Irene! Irene! Irene!’

Grid’s heart was exploding as he ran to the palace. The image of Irene in a pure white wedding dress was fluttering before his eyes. He imagined how happy Irene would be to regain her youth and tears filled his eyes.

“Wife!”

He even used Shunpo because he wanted to quickly see Irene’s smiling face. Grid arrived at the palace without the knights knowing it and opened the door to Irene’s bedroom.

“Wife...?” Grid was baffled. Irene was sitting in front of the mirror with her head lowered. She seemed to be crying.

“Y-Your Majesty? You’re back.” Irene belatedly noticed Grid’s arrival and rose from her seat in a startled manner. Her long silver hair was covering her small face.

Grid wondered, “Are you crying? What happened?”

Irene didn’t raise her head to the end and Grid was filled with an unknown anxiety as he reached out to her. However, Irene avoided his touch.

“What is it? Why aren’t you showing your face?”

Perhaps... had something gone wrong? All sorts of sinister thoughts struck Grid.

“I... I...” Irene’s trembling voice was heard in the heavy air. She raised her head with difficulty and her face was just as young and beautiful as the day when she first met Grid. The small wrinkles around her eyes and mouth had disappeared without a trace and the slightly dry skin gradually became shiny. Only the eyes that were deep from the passage of time were the same.

It was fortunate. Fortunately, there was no problem. Rather, his wish was fulfilled. Grid was happy after feeling that he had lost 10 years. Then Irene’s trembling voice penetrated him.

“My face changed like this one overnight. I... am I a monster?”

“......!!”

Grid belatedly realized why Irene was terrified. The unexpected reaction caused Grid to hug Irene’s small body.

“You aren’t a monster or a freak. Rejuvenation is a blessing to rejoice about. Why are you worried?”

"...Your Majesty, do you know what happened?”

“That...”

Grid started to explain. First of all, he talked about the concept of divinity and proudly laid out the saga of how he tried to build up Irene’s divinity. Irene listened silently and her expression gradually darkened. Intense emotions were swirling around in her deep eyes.

“Wife?” Grid had thought Irene would be happy so he was flustered when she showed a different expression.

Irene’s tightly closed lips slowly opened, “How... how can you do this without saying anything to me...?”

“It was a surprise event in the hope that your joy would double...”

“Please leave.”
