What is so sad?
Lilith cried loudly.
“W, what is it… Why are you crying?”
Oscar, who was frozen, barely raised his hand and slowly stroked the child’s back as if to comfort her.
“You’re not sick, so why is my princess crying like this? Did you have a bad dream?”
“Hiccup.”
She glances back at her father’s sweetly worried voice, and her crying gets louder.
“Aaaah!”
“Oh my, I’m sorry! Dad is sorry! My princess is sad, sad. Eung?”
Judging from the fact that she is crying with great strength, it seems that she is clearly not in any pain.
Enoch was rather relieved.
“Hey…”
Oscar, who was still worried, tried to at least look at Lilith’s face as she clung tightly to him.
“I, I don’t want to! Ugh, don’t, don’t go. Heung…!”
He couldn’t do that because she would get surprised and dig in if he tried to pull his hand away from her.
‘Why is she like this?’
He looked at Enoch in confusion, and he just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know.
It’s a strange picture, but it was a time when Oscar held and comforted the child countless times.
“Oh my!”
“Lady!”
The door opened and two maids came in.
Lilith’s dedicated maids, Jetty and Jun.
Their faces were also swollen, with tears and snot all over them because of Lilith’s holy fever.
‘Oh my.’
Enoch was embarrassed.
Seeing as they brought a water bowl and a towel for her, it looks like they came to take care of Lilith while she was sleeping…
‘It’s a bit difficult.’
Oscar and Enoch’s shocked gazes met in the air.
They didn’t have time and lost their mind, so of course they moved without even thinking about what happened in the future…
It was fortunate that no one was in the child’s room, but it would have been embarrassing if someone had seen it.
But the Lord of the Wizard Tower who suddenly appeared in the room of a Young Lady in a noble house?
Moreover, Lilith woke up in less than half a day after having a holy fever?
‘The fact that the child woke up alone should not go into the emperor’s ears now.’
Enoch, who quickly rolled his head, approached the maids.
“Are you surprised?”
Jetty and Jun stood blankly with puzzled faces, as if trying to figure out what was going on.
“L, Lord. I, is the Lady okay?”
“More than that, why is that person, no, the Lord of the Wizard Tower is here…? When did he come…”
“Ssh.”
Enoch put his index finger to his lips as if telling them to be quiet.
“Shall we go out and talk quietly?”
Enoch’s face smiles embarrassingly.
The two quick-witted maids immediately nodded loudly.
“Lord of the Wizard Tower.”
Enoch looked back at Oscar before leaving.
“I won’t let anyone enter the room. Please look at the princess for a moment.”
“Ah. Yes, well…”
“And don’t go and wait until I come back. I’ll take care of this and that and come back as soon as possible.”
After making a request, Enoch left the room, taking Jetty and Jun with him.
* * *
I feel stupid.
I can’t stop crying…
“Hicc.”
I definitely had a lot to say.
I couldn’t say anything because tears flowed easily as soon as I made eye contact with Oscar, so I just cried for 20 minutes…
In the end, I was so exhausted that I didn’t even have the energy to cry, and the tears finally stopped.
“You have good stamina.”
Oscar sat next to me on the bed and patiently wiped away all my tears and snot while I cried.
“Hmph, do it.”
Oscar placed a handkerchief over my runny nose again.
“Keuuugh.”
“Wow, it’s dirty.”
“Whaa.”
Even as he said this, Oscar put his handkerchief back into his clothes without showing any signs of it being dirty.
“Are you done crying now?”
“Yes…”
While I was wondering what to say first, I was surprised.
“But Master, why are you here?”
“Wow, you’re so quick to ask.”
Oscar said, leaning back slightly with his hands behind his back.
“I only say it once. It’s troublesome, so understand it right away.”
“Yes!”
“You just woke up after having a holy fever. It must be the Emperor’s trick. We knew you couldn’t wake up on your own, so we brought a holy relic from the south and forced you to wake up. You wrote down the method in the letter you left for your father.”
“….?”
Wow!
Imagine!
I couldn’t do it!
When the answer came, I opened my mouth.
‘Oh, for some reason, as soon as I woke up, Dad was strange.’
His eyes turned red as if he was crying, and he was busy checking my condition.
For some reason, I thought it was strange that I had a dream even though I didn’t remember falling asleep.
‘Wow, really… the Emperor…’
So, rather than falling asleep, it was true that I almost fainted because of a holy fever.
‘He’s really persistent in trying to take advantage of me…’
With Oscar’s help, I was able to clearly establish my Octava rank in the Emperor’s eyes.
Nevertheless, he still seems to think that I am the best leash to hold and shake my Dad and is bullying him in very unusual ways.
I’m suffocating…
“W, wait. Then I shouldn’t be caught by His Majesty for waking up alone.… What should I do about this…”
As I was biting my nails and thinking about a solution, Oscar tapped my head.
“Kid, don’t be so stupid.”
“Yes?”
“Hey. Your father knows everything now. He knows you’re Primera. He has your letters and gives me everything without even lifting a finger.”
“….”
“His behavior may be a bit ignorant and extreme, but your father is not stupid. So don’t try to do anything, just trust your father and wait.”
Oscar frowned as if he didn’t like it and continued talking.
“If it’s your business, you’re the kind of person who can roll in the mud. You say you’re ready to work hard, but why aren’t you working hard and what are you trying to do?”
“That’s true, but…”
“But what, what!”
Oscar, who shouted loudly, calmed down a little when he saw me looking surprised.
“Because your father will take care of it somehow, so you.”
“….”
“Just relax and don’t think about anything.”
Oscar blurred his words.
I could clearly see the worry in his expression, and my nose got hot again.
“Yees. I will.”
“But why did you cry? Are you sick?”
“Ah!”
Yeah. I don’t know what to say first…
“Master.”
“Yeah.”
“Um… you know, I’ll tell you my secret now. Only to Master.”
“Is there a secret about you that I don’t know?”
Oscar laughed.
“I think you don’t know this?”
“What is it?”
I took a big breath and started talking.
“Master, I’ve actually lived here in a very strange world.”
“What?”
“Instead of a carriage, there is a car, and instead of a bird, there is a plane… It was that kind of world.”
At my words, Oscar’s eyes widened in surprise.
I smiled slightly, took my eyes off him and said again slowly.
“I was really, really happy. I had a lot of friends, and I studied hard… I even taught children how to study like Master.”
“….”
“Uhm, if I teach them how to study, I can make a lot of money. So I tried eating a lot of delicious food and going out to have fun.”
“Th…en?”
Oscar’s voice, which seemed to be breaking off, was relieved.
When he looked back, his eyes were wet.
However, a faint smile.
I guess he felt relieved.
That I had a happy memory, just as he hoped one day.
“It must have been nice.”
“Yes. It was really, really good. I was never sad or sick. I only met good people…. And they all liked and loved me, so I was really happy.”
“…That’s a relief. Was your father there, too?”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“I had no family. So… I had a lot of good friends and teachers, but… I didn’t have a family, so I felt a little, a little lonely.”
“Your father, he wasn’t there?”
I looked back at Oscar.
When I said I was lonely, his eyes were shaking sadly.
Oscar wanted me to be happy with my dad.
“Yes. He wasn’t there.”
I almost burst into tears, but I held it in and smiled brightly.
“But now that I think about it, I know why my dad wasn’t there.”
“….”
“If I had my dad and a family, I would be really, really happy to live in that world… So…”
“….”
“Because I probably wanted to stay there forever, but I have to come here, come back, and see my dad again. Again.”
Eventually, I couldn’t hold back, and tears flowed down my cheeks again.
“Because I have to meet Master again.”
Oscar looked at me blankly.
“Master. I’m sorry for forgetting everything… I’m sorry for being such a fool and not remembering anything, Master, I’m sorry for forgetting
…”
The surprised Oscar opened his mouth slowly.
“But I… You know, I forgot about Master, right? But I didn’t forget the time I spent with Master because it was painful and hurtful.”
“You…”
“It’s really not. Heukh. I wanted to tell you this…”
The last greeting he gave me.
Now I remember everything without exception.
“Forget all the painful memories of this life.”
But you’re never been a painful memory for me.
It’s very precious…
“For me, I was really happy when I was with Master. I don’t have my Dad, and His Majesty the Emperor is scary. It’s so… so lonely and difficult, but, hicc.”
“….”
“Because Master was always by my side. Because you came to see me. Because you told me I was pretty and that you loved me… That’s why I was able to endure it.”
Wiping away the endlessly flowing tears, I smiled at Oscar.
Tears were already welling up in his red, wet eyes.
“I wouldn’t have come back if it wasn’t for you, Master. To remember you, I’m so happy that you were by my side. I’m going to tell you that…”
I swallowed my tears, got up and hugged Oscar’s neck.
“…That’s why I came back.”
He must have been so surprised that he couldn’t do this or that for a while with his breathing rough and his hands shaking.
“….”
Soon Oscar hugged me tightly, slowly, with his still trembling arms.
“Ha…:
His heartbreaking breath permeated my ears.
What is so sad?
Lilith cried loudly.
“W, what is it… Why are you crying?”
Oscar, who was frozen, barely raised his hand and slowly stroked the child’s back as if to comfort her.
“You’re not sick, so why is my princess crying like this? Did you have a bad dream?”
