One fluorescent light blinked and then turned off..
A shadow fell on the faces of the men standing in front of the hospital bed. There is an unknown sense of discomfort in the air..
“……“Really?” “Uh, yes.” I feel dizzy, perhaps because of a hangover..
What kind of situation is this??
“I can't remember, does that mean I have amnesia??”
I scratched my head while fiddling with the patient uniform with the familiar university mark on it..
“……I think I just drank and the film cut out..”
A sigh flows from the men. In the hallway, a doctor is explaining something to a middle-aged man..
“......This class of drugs... depends on the prognosis.
So, an interview or an EEG test... … For now, absolutely no stability……
“Where is Jeong So-ha??”
Someone's question covered the doctor's voice..
“Jeong So-ha, yo?”
“yes.”
“uh••••••
There is an inexplicable anticipation in the men’s eyes..
“Now that I think about it, I think Soha came to pick me up yesterday... … “Yesterday.?”
“yes. Eleven o'clock, around twelve o'clock-”
“……Is that the end??”
After nodding, the men left the hospital room, looking disappointed and muttering amongst themselves..
I was left alone in an 8-person hospital room. I couldn't see any of my clothes or belongings..
As I looked around, I looked out the window and froze..
“……uh." The campus was covered in white snow.
“Uh huh-”
When I wake up from a good night's sleep and stretch, a groan comes out naturally..
Hmm, how long has it been since you fell into such a deep sleep? It really feels like I slept without knowing the world.…….
As I rubbed my eyes and looked around, I saw that I was now quite familiar with the guest room of the Yeongju Building..
There were two people sitting next to the bed where I lay..
The person sitting near my face was lying face down with his hair hanging down. I could tell who it was just by looking at the small body wearing a white shirt, the long, thin fingers, and the rich blonde hair, let alone the faint scent of lime..
I carefully brushed Ellen’s hair behind her ear. Long eyelashes, a sharp nose, lips exhaling colorfully, and transparent skin.…….
Memories come back to me at the small scar left on the pinna of my left ear..
Black Wolves, Randall's Mercenaries, Palace Wizards, Queen Anupad, Black Passage, Ushtu's Men, and Dark Knights…….
“rain.”
Ellen shrank her neck as a hand touched her earlobe. I quickly took my hand away and touched his hair..
Then, suddenly, I turned my head and screamed..
“Hey, I'm surprised.!”
A woman was sitting next to the sleeping Ellen. A woman sitting still and blinking like a still life painting.
“long time no see.”
“Uh, um-”
I stared blankly at the woman speaking in a calm tone..
This is the same face I saw a while ago when I experienced a strange out-of-body experience, and this is the same face I saw on the monitor on Earth..
However, I don't feel familiar at all. Is it because it's my first time seeing you face to face this close??
Wow, I'm speechless. How do people look like this??
While I was messing around, Ellen, who had been sleeping, woke up with her eyebrows twitching..
“rain,”
The guy rubbed his eyes and looked at me with blank eyes for a moment. Then, I was surprised and said, “Wow,” and suddenly he was hugged to my chest..
“trunnion!”
“Ellen.”
Ellen stretched out her arms and hugged my chest. I patted him on the back and burst into laughter..
“Were you very worried? Why is this happening all of a sudden??”
Ellen then glanced at the woman sitting next to her and pursed her lips..
“……Not suddenly.”
“ o Yes2”
“But are you okay? It's nowhere strange?”
“It's strange?”
“You were contaminated by magic from another dimension. It was cleaned up quickly, but you never know..”
I smiled at the guy who was looking up at me intently..
“are you okay. I feel like I just slept soundly……
“of course. Because I slept for two full days.”
“For two days?”
“Not only is it polluted, but it also puts a lot of strain on your body. If you lie down for two days……
For some reason, my back felt a bit stiff..
I was touching my neck and suddenly raised my head..
“That's right, it sticks together?”
“……Utequai searched the forest and brought back both him and Xanavas..”
“There are no injuries?”
“I got hit with a crossbow, but now I'm getting treatment.
So I'm fine.”
After heaving a sigh of relief, he cast his gaze again towards the black-haired woman..
……How should I treat this woman? Ugh, my head is pounding because the memories of Seungsu Kim and Phoenix are all mixed up..
‘Schiele’, the head of the family of Zaharkar and the Duke of Eyland, had a younger brother..
His name is ‘Achele’, and he is said to be the best knight in Eyland..
Unlike other noble families, the brothers Skiele and Akele had a strong friendship..
So, as soon as Schiele ascended to the dukedom, he gave his younger brother several titles, including the count of Danseung..
Akelle, who became a count, played an active role as the commander of the guards of 'Tawz Den', the third admiral of Eyland, and the commander-in-chief of the ducal palace..
Akele was a worthy heir of the twin royal family. It means that he was a person who revered power, enjoyed killing, and was as ruthless as a snake..
There was a woman who stole Akele's heart. She was a beautiful woman who became a slave whom he met while exterminating pirates..
Acele, who was captivated by her appearance, soon fell deeply in love with her character..
‘The woman named ‘Lira’ had a rich sensitivity and good character that deeply colored the emotionless Akele..
Akele and Lyra fell deeply in love with each other, and soon their love came to fruition. to have a child.
Then, despite the cold opposition of his cousin and first wife, Akele brought Lyra into his concubine..
Lira, who entered the palace, gave birth to a healthy son, but died because she could not overcome childbed fever..
The child born that way was Poynix..
……Suddenly I have a doubt.
No matter how much I search through Poinix's memories, I don't think I ever felt sad because of longing for my dead mother..
Could it be that I simply don't remember??
Or is it because of Phoenix's personality of not revealing his true feelings??
If not, did I really feel no emotion at all??
To the extent that these questions arise, Poynix was a child with the blood of the twin royal family running deep in his blood..
He was indifferent to people, enjoyed practicing martial arts, and never missed an opportunity to kill..
Although he was somewhat lacking in natural magic or blood magic skills, as he grew up, he became stronger than his father, Akele..
Although she couldn't help the cold atmosphere flowing through her veins, she also had a beautiful appearance, just like her mother..
Poynix, who grew up with the other children of the family thanks to her father's consideration, became an adult at the age of 15 and became engaged..
The other person was my cousin Hayla..
Heila of Valuin. She was a girl from the same family as Jaharkar, and she was also the younger sister of 'Caisis of Baluin', the man who would become the next Duke of Eyland..
Hayla was renowned as the most beautiful and intelligent girl in Razil, but Poynix was not happy at all..
Because it wasn't Hayla he wanted, it was her older sister Ayla..
As Kim Seung-su, I felt it was a truly mysterious feeling. It was a way of thinking that was difficult to understand at first..
Heela and Ayla were so different that it was hard to believe they were biological sisters..
Her younger sister, Hayla, was as beautiful as if she were sculpted by an angel, but her older sister, Ayla... … Well, to be honest, she was a woman who could not be called beautiful, even as a joke..
Nevertheless, Poynix wanted Ayla. To be exact, I wanted her smile.
Ayla was a mutant.
She laughed cheerfully when the wind was good, cried sadly when her Rottweiler died, and got angry when her cousins cut each other..
That's what Phoenix wanted. He believed that Ayla could make up for his shortcomings..
Perhaps, in Kim Seung-su's view, Poinik
I think he loved Ayla.
However, Ayla married Poynix's older brother and Akele's legitimate son, Ganix. He was selected as the so-called 'breeder', the concubine who would give birth to the next duke..
The day Ayla got married.
Poynix shed tears for the first time in her life. Beneath the shady gardens of the ducal palace, till the moon has fully set.
Fortunately for Phoenix, his marriage was postponed. This is because the other person, Hayla, is suffering from an unknown disease. It's a disease that absorbs the magical energy of the atmosphere at will..
And 5 years passed.
By the time Poinix, who had the best skills among his peers, finished his life as a squire and was ordained a knight..
Ayla committed suicide by hanging herself..
Immediately after the funeral, Phoenix left the ducal palace..
After clearing my mind, I scratched my eyebrows and opened my mouth..
“Heyla, right?”
“huh.”
Hayla was staring at me. It feels like those emotionless eyes are digging into me deep inside..
……You must have noticed?
Yeah, I'm sure you noticed..
Hayla is Poynix's cousin, and they were once engaged to each other. There's no way you don't know Phoenix's personality. Today, I am a person much closer to Kim Seung-soo than Poynix. He is not a cold and cold person like Phoenix, but an ordinary citizen..
Unless you're an idiot, you'll quickly realize that I'm a completely different person from Phoenix..
Well, for now, let's make the most of Phoenix's memory. Personality... … I insist that I changed while traveling, whatever..
“Umm - it's been a while. Has it been 5 years??”
“that's right.”
Hayla blinked quietly..
Is it because of the beautiful face??
Even the slightest flicker feels so interesting..
The movement of the eyelids and the long eyelashes crossing each other breathed a little bit of life into the face that was like a painting or sculpture. It is a drastic change that seems insignificant, like a drop of red ink on white drawing paper..
A calm voice tickled my ears..
Moving the lips also attracted attention as much as blinking the eyes. When my red lips open and my white teeth show, I feel sad for no reason.…….
“trunnion?”
“Uh, uh‘?”
When I turned my head in a hurry, Ellen was looking up at me with a worried expression..
“My complexion is not good. are you okay?”
“Oh, um, it's okay.”
I shook my head a couple of times and smiled..
“I'm fine, completely.”
“ o Ugh......”
—m •
I left Ellen, who was drooling, and turned my gaze back to Hayla..
……Well, let's avoid eye contact as much as possible. I feel like I'm losing my mind for no reason.
“I'm sorry, what did I say??”
“He said it was his first time seeing him since Ganix and Ayla's wedding..”
“ ah.”
I nodded awkwardly and then fell silent again..
Well, no matter how much I search through Phoenix's memories, I find nothing special about Heyla. A guy who was so indifferent to people
Is that why?.
Then my thoughts reached Heyla's companions..
“Ah, the blood knights?”
I feel ashamed when I think of my body going crazy and running wild according to its instincts. But I continued speaking in a shameless tone..
“I think I lost my mind for a moment and made a mistake..”
“are you okay. I treated it with a potion..”
“Thank goodness. I'd like to at least say hello. Where are you, everyone??”
“It's on Mount Graduil..”
“……On Mount Graduil? why?”
“Because I have to avoid people’s gaze..”
What are you talking about??
I narrowed my eyes and asked her.
“Why are you avoiding my gaze??”
“Anyone who sees the Blood Knights will think of the two families of Raz'il..”
“however?”
“If there are blood knights near you, people will guess your identity..”
When I still looked like I didn't understand, Hayla continued..
“You are the conceived son of the Zaharkar family. The fact that he was ordained a knight by a prince of the Geore royal family must never be made known..”
……Ah, yes.
After the conquering king Zeoth of Zeore subjugated Eyland, Jahakar and Baluin, who had been kings, were reduced to mere great nobles..
Therefore, the two families traditionally regarded the Jeore royal family as enemies. However, it is natural for the concubine who will inherit the family to be loyal to it.…….
……wait for a sec.
“But, I am the pregnant one.?”
« o ” huh.
“What does that mean all of a sudden.”
I quickly remembered and said to Hayla:.
“The pregnant women are Ganyx and Ayla. No, I heard that Ayla died without giving birth and you would become the impregnate.,”
Seeing my confusion, Ellen joined in from the side..
“Didn't you know? This woman said she was your fiancée..”
“fiancee? Uh, I did..”
At my words, Ellen’s eyes sparkled..
“I said so?”
“The engagement was broken off when Hayla was designated as the new impregnate. Continuing the succession is much more important than the engagement of an illegitimate child..”
“••••••under.”
The guy snorted, then turned his head and glanced at Heyla..
“I was wondering if something suddenly popped out, and it turned out to be my ‘ex’ fiancee.?”
Hayla was still facing me, not even looking at Ellen. She nodded and answered calmly..
“It almost happened like that.”
Is it an illusion??
Hayla's flawless black eyes twinkled darkly..
“But with Ganix dead, you were appointed as the new impregnate..”
“••••♦•what?”
“And the engagement wasn't broken from the beginning. Poi, you left without a word, and I had no intention of breaking off the engagement..”
I held my head and threw up my hands..
“Wait, wait. who died?”
“ganix.”
Ganix was rescued from Poynix's memories..
A young man with three hundred eyes, a hard look, and a mean heart. He is a half-brother with Poynix, who is three years older than him. After getting beaten up while sparring with Poynix, he was an ugly older brother who bullied him with all kinds of bullies. The idiot who married Ayla despite not having anything to show for himself.
That's all I remember about Ganix..
“Ganix is dead? why?”
“I caught a fever and died..”
“……fever? Even though Ganix was not very good, he was a blood knight, but he died from a fever.?”
Heyla just nodded quietly..
“When did you die??”
“4 in month.”
“4By the month, he died as soon as he married you.?”
“no.”
After a firm nod, there was silence for a moment. Hayla blinked three or four times before opening her mouth again..
“He died the night before the wedding..”
“ ah.”
“Duke Schiele also passed away that day..”
“……My uncle also passed away.?”
My head is getting hot because I received unexpected news one after another..
From Kim Seung-soo's point of view, they were like strangers, and from Phoenix's point of view, they weren't people that bothered him that much. Still, I couldn't help but feel confused..
“There's no need to make it complicated.”
Hayla spoke in a calm manner..
“Kaisis has become the new duke, and you and I have the obligation to produce an heir..”
“No, suddenly that……
“That's all.”
Looking into Heyla's black, sparkling eyes, I swallowed dry saliva..
