Its not polite to refuse without thinking about it.

What about coming without prior contact?

Lady.

Regan Liesl smiled, but it backfired on me.

The other day, Duke Liesl said he would introduce me to you. Did the Duke ask you to be rude?

With his father mentioned, Lord Liesl shut his mouth. Apparently, it seems right that the Duke did ask him to apply as my partner.

It was me who clearly had the upper hand in this relationship.

Go back. I will not see you off.

Lady!

Go, Lord.

Beside me, Mother, who had been silent the whole time, stared at Lord Liesl coldly and said something.

Unless Lord Liesl wants to show your insolence to the master of this family.

With an infinitely gentle and beautiful face, the cold words spoken were colder than Varens cold.

Liesls second son left without hiding that his dignity was getting insulted.

I sighed and tried to go up to my room, but this time Mother grabbed me.

Are you going with the Emperor again?

There was no nuance in her voice, but I couldnt help but ask.

Mother knows right? Why did Tess become like that?

The dark green eyes like mine trembled.

Mother encouraged me to date, but Tess was not among the love interests. I know it wasnt just because he was bothering me.

Mothers red lips quivered, but I didnt stop looking at her.

Euseniel, my daughter.

Mothers always calm face looked pensive.

Its not that I didnt like Millen. It was annoying at first, but it got better later.

It was something Father would be happy to hear, but I couldnt laugh.

The only thing I wanted to avoid was starting a family, having children.

Mother must have opened her mouth to speak, but her voice did not come out.

Mother!

It is forbidden.

Mother, who added explanations, looked exhausted.

Regardless of her own will, there were some things she cant say. It was a similar situation when Mother tried to tell the secrets of the elves and the details of the other races.

You are my daughter, but I am an elf and you are not an elf. So I cannot directly interfere in your affairs.

Mothers eyes, always glittering as if sprinkled with gold dust, were wet with sorrow.

Does Tess have something to do with it?

Its not directly related, but its obvious that nothing good will happen if you get involved with him. Who would want to push their daughter to fire?

Mother, I.

What should I say? I didnt want to hurt Mother, but I didnt want to hurt Tess either.

Euseniel, my love.

Mother hugged me and whispered in a trembling voice.

Elves live longer than humans and keep memories for a long time. Their emotions are expressed like calmly flowing water, but now Mother seemed to be hiding her raging heart.

I cant even tell you not to meet him. We learned that way.

The elves?

Yes.

Mother smelled of fresh herbs.

Even if youre young, I shouldnt stop you from doing what you decide to do. Its an old rule. The more we break the rules, the more corrupted we are.

Little by little Mothers behavior began to make sense. Even if she hates Tess, if I like Tess, she cant force me to erase my feelings.

After a while, Mother moved away from me and stroked my hair. She was trying to smile.

I thought Mother would cry, so I changed the subject.

Mother, can you go to the temple with me later?

Of course.

Perhaps relieved that the subject of the conversation had changed, Mother smiled broadly.

Since we came to Alin, we have never been to the temple. I have to go see God after a long time. Do you want to go with Ganiel?

Sure.

I was finally able to come up to my room. The pain that pierced my whole body had long been forgotten.

Breaking through the stillness, I slowly made my way to the study that was connected to the bedroom. I opened the last of the three drawers attached to the desk.

There was only one thing in the deep drawer.

Slowly, I reached out and grabbed the cloth bag. I opened the lip of the pocket, through which some heaviness was transmitted.

Tess.

I muttered the name of the poor man who was the only person I could lean on in this world.

The red heart, as brilliant as it was sad, shone even in the dark.

* * *

As promised, Mother, Gael and I visited the temple.

Priest Calisis has moved to another area.

Calisis?

It was Mother who responded. Her lips quivered.

Yes, Priest Calisis. Do you know him?

There was an acquaintance with the same name But it cant be him.

I wanted to ask in detail, but Gael and the priest were there, so I only asked about Calisis situation.

When did he go?

Recently.

The new temple librarian held out a book to me.

As he left, he asked me to pass it on to Lady Hardland.

While Mother and Gael looked around the library, I flipped through the books.

Calisis seemed to be impatient to reveal Tess identity to me, it made me laugh. So far, I have read books related to the founding myth of the Northern Empire and the founding myth of the continent where the Northern and Southern Empires exist.

[God and Demons].

Calisis, like Mother, cannot tell me directly what he wants. At this point, he seems to have run away in fear of being discovered.

Tess true identity and Calisis true identity, both seem to be correct in my prediction.

Gael, come here.

Perhaps because she was an elf called the child of light, Mother seemed very happy to come to the temple of light. Come to think of it, I used to come to the temple from time to time with Mother.

Until Tess came to play.
