“……I'm a little worried..”
Theodora's light green eyes sparkled as she spoke the words while pretending to hesitate..
“I'm worried. What do you mean??”
“As the princess said, the saint said... … You left a revelation.”
“timing?”
“yes. That's what the cathedral knight, Sir Kabar, says..”
‘The princess, who was lost in thought, said, “Hmm,” but soon smiled. I secretly swallowed my saliva at the sight of a green daffodil that looked like it was about to open buds..
“That's an interesting story. Instead of the priests close to him, he left a revelation to a knight he had never seen before..”
“……Hmm. So, before I continue my story, I want to make you promise..”
“tell me.”
“Please keep it secret.”
I continued speaking with a serious expression on my face..
“There must be a reason why the Son left a revelation to none other than me. So I think of this revelation as a kind of calling..”
“I see. You have to carry a very heavy burden..”
“Because I considered it entirely my duty, I did not inform the clergy of the Elganor Church, including Lord Kavar, of the details..”
“……What about the clergy of the Church of El Ganor? This means that the details of the revelation will be revealed to others, such as the priests of the Calandari Church.?”
“yes. To be precise, I will only inform the princess..”
There was something strange about my wide-open eyes..
“It's not like you're giving me special treatment. Can I ask why??”
“I heard that you exchanged letters with the saint..”
“exactly. “I was concerned about the dark clouds hanging over the continent, so I asked the saint for advice.” “At the end of the letter, I also heard that the saint summoned the princess to discuss something closely.. ”
When Theodora nodded in agreement, I slowly held out my left hand..
“If so, some of the revelations given to me may have been the Princess's share..”
“……If it's up to me?”
“Let's take a look.”
And rolled up my sleeves.
Wow.
The band of light around the wrist, no, the ‘dimensional seal’ lit up the room. A mysterious rainbow, as if illuminated by a colorful prism, appeared on Theodora's surprised face..
“Oh, the law? No, it's not mana.”
“hold hands.”
“hand?”
“Let me show you. The revelation given to me.”
What is contained in my dimensional seal is the quasi-dimensional ‘Dream Territory’. Since it originated from the world of illusion, the magic power emitted by the dimensional seal was also of the world of illusion..
The magical power that makes illusions and dreams come true is something that is rarely seen in Middle-earth. Theodora, a powerful paladin, also gulped at the unfamiliar magical power..
“Are you scared??”
“……That can't be possible. It is only you, the Sword of Light, who can make the Anointed one fear..”
The princess, who said that as if she had made a promise to herself, sighed 'huh' and took off her gloves. I've felt it before, but it's a small, pure white hand that I can't imagine belongs to a knight..
“Phew.”
She reached out her hand boldly, then stopped abruptly and opened her mouth..
“……Well, I'd like to know what this is, though..”
The big eyes are shaking like those of a young deer. The soft and gentle face hidden behind the thick coat, stern identity, and harsh tone of voice suddenly revealed itself..
I reassured her, sublimating the laughter that was about to burst out into a gentle smile..
“It's not a big deal, it's a leftover talent. Rest assured, no harm will come to you..”
“……“I understand.” Theodora squeezed and unclenched her small hand a few times and nodded..
“I will believe you. “I mean you, the knight of my mother’s house and the guardian of the sacred place.” Immediately after, she shook off her hesitation and held my hand..
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
Following the strange metallic sound of a marble rolling on a tray, black smoke erupted from the band of light..
“ oh-”
After holding hands resolutely for a moment, Theodora was startled by the strange touch of the smoke..
“Sir, wait a minute, this is!”
Theodora made a threatening noise and tried to back away, but I did not let go of my firm hold..
“Don't worry, just stay still.
“But, ugh, lord-”
The black smoke formed the shape of a disk. And just before Theodora started screaming in earnest, the disc swallowed us both..
the world turned upside down.
Theodora was thrown into the wide, green expanse..
“Wow!!”
With the strong wind passing by her ears and the feeling of floating on her back, she squeezed her eyes shut and screamed..
“Princess, calm down.,”
“Ahok, keaaah, yaaaah-!”
As Theodora screamed one after another, Phoenix, who was flying above the clouds while holding hands with her, smiled bitterly..
But that bitter smile was short-lived. As the owner of this semi-dimensional world, he had a duty to calm down this precious guest..
“It's okay, just calm down.!”
“Ahhh-”
When Phoenix lightly tapped the back of her white hand, Theodora trembled. And then I quickly reached out with both hands and grabbed his forearm..
“Princess, it's okay. This is just a dream.”
“Ugh, uh, da, you?” “This is Poinix. There's nothing going on, so open your eyes and see,”
Before she could finish her words, the princess' tightly closed eyelids fluttered and she screamed in a half-crying voice..
“What on earth have you done to me?!”
“In my dream, I invited you to the revelation left by the saint..”
With the sound of the strong wind everywhere, Poynix soothed her with soft and calm words. Theodora slowly regained her senses and slowly opened her eyes..
“Ah.”
A moan mixed with admiration and fear.
The two were falling through clouds that looked like fine cotton. The once blue sky was turning black..
The castle, houses, and village seemed smaller than a millet. The golden wheat fields and the thread-like road passing between them filled my field of vision. light and darkness intersected.
“Ha, ha.”
The noble paladin, who lived half her life as a nun, was completely fascinated by the majestic sight..
As if he had forgotten how to tremble in fear, his green-jeweled eyes under his eyelashes were wide open, trying to engrave the scenery below in his memory..
“Princess.”
Theodora slowly turned his head when he heard the soft voice again. Under a night sky filled with moon and stars, a man's black eyes were sparkling playfully..
“Are you okay now??”
Seeing that dreamy sight, she forgot to breathe for a moment and opened her mouth in a daze. It was only when Theodora's light green eyes filled with him that she realized that she was holding on to the man's forearms with both hands..
“……ah.”
“sorry. I didn't mean to startle you, but I think I made a mistake..”
She tried to let go of Phoenix's arm, but quickly tightened her grip. They say they are falling slowly like feathers, but they are still floating in the dark sky..
““How on earth did this happen? No, *off* what kind of harmony do you mean?” Looking at Theodora, who was flustered and correcting her tone, Phoenix smiled slightly..
“As I said, it is both my dream and a revelation left by the Holy Son..”
The cold impression was imbued with a warm smile, and the sharp eyes had a soft gaze. The handsome man with a contradictory look raised his hand and pointed to the ground..
“look over there.”
It was as if her heart had moved to her palm, and Theodora was alone in her distress as her pulse throbbed violently in the area that touched Poynix's bare forearm. She prayed in her mind and sought peace, but then looked down in surprise at Phoenix's words..
“It's a saint..”
“ What?”
There was a tall old man standing in the middle of the wheat field. A gentle-looking old man with a full, white beard peeking out from beneath a gray hood..
“That's the saint?”
“yes.”
“ O ugh '' ---丁he •
Although it was her first time seeing him in person, she was immediately convinced that the old man was Saint Abel. This is because the sacred energy emanating from the old man can be clearly conveyed even from a distance..
At that time, the old man who was standing still turned his head to one side..
“This is the beginning. take a good look.”
No sooner had Phoenix finished speaking than a sound of the earth trembling was heard from where the saint's gaze was directed. Theodora quickly turned her head towards him and took a deep breath..
A snake with shiny black scales, large enough to devour an ordinary building, was crawling somewhere, twisting and tearing through a wheat field..
“That is••••••
“close.”
“……Lord Phoenics.?”
“The saint said so. I am a black snake.”
Just as a question appeared in Theodora's eyes, a huge snake had suddenly crawled up to the feet of the two in the air, hissing its red tongue..
“That's not a monastery?”
“you're right.”
A snake climbed up a steep cliff as if climbing a fence and landed at Seteniora Monastery. The snake wrapped itself around the monastery in a coil as big as its body..
“……A snake is guarding the monastery. Just like the scriptures.”
“Next is the princess's turn..”
“my turn?”
At that moment, bright light began to burst from her body..
“Ugh, this is.”
Despite the pure white golden light that could burn the retina, Phoenix spoke calmly while holding Theodora's hand..
“also. It symbolized the princess..”
True to his words, Theodora shone like the sun and pushed away the darkness that had fallen on the monastery and its surroundings..
“symbol? In the revelation of the Son, there was something that symbolized me.?”
“yes. It was the sun rising from the west.”
“the sun rising from the west……
“I share this revelation with you.
is one of the reasons.” “One of the reasons? There is another reason too.?”
“yes. Let's see.”
Zeng!
The ground on one side folded with a strange roar that sounded like a stone breaking. The scenery of that distant place came as if it were falling right in front of my nose..
Uh-huh!
“Ugh!”
Theodora frowned at the roar that came out of nowhere. In the corner of her gaze, a young lion sporting a silver mane was growling at the approaching shadow..
“This is Prince Ulkar..”
“……Yeah, I see. Silver lion. There is nothing more suitable as a symbol of my maternal uncle than that..”
“yes. This is another reason why I am showing this revelation to you, Princess..”
The sticky, wavy shadow soon turned into a wave and swallowed the lion..
“this!”
Theodora had raised her divine power without even knowing it. As if in response, the radiance emanating from her body gained more momentum, but the shadow that flowed like a river did not flinch..
“How do you do that?-”
“It's not over yet, stay focused!”
first
This time there was a sound like thin glass breaking. The scenery everywhere, including the monastery, the black snake, the silver lion, the golden wheat field, and the shadows, scattered like dust. The light that Theodora gave off also went out..
Instead, a faint silver glow came from far away. At the same time, unprecedented power
It blew up.
“Ugh, ugh.!”
“it's okay." The two rushed somewhere as if they were being sucked in. Theodora flinched again, but did not helplessly close her eyes. It was thanks to Poynix's arm wrapping tightly around her shoulders that she felt reassured..
The moment passed like an eternity. The two flew in front of a small window between the solid stone walls. It was the very place where the silver light flowed..
Inside the window is a mysterious woman, no, a girl
was sitting. A girl with a white scarf wrapped around her nun's clothes, revealing only her small face. Her bright navy blue eyes were looking out the window, but it seemed like she couldn't see Phoenix and Theodora..
“••••♦•Yurill?”
“yes?”
Phoenix was startled and looked back at Theodora. The paladin facing the girl in a nun's uniform had her eyes wide open..
“Do you know who that girl is??”
“I know. It's been almost ten years since we've seen each other, but Yuril, is there any way you wouldn't recognize my lovely little aunt? I can't believe I see you here……
“Young aunt? then,”
Theodora's father was the older brother of Elector Avilambus, Duke of Topal, and her mother was the daughter of Lionel III, King of Milan. Poynix, reflecting on that fact, narrowed his eyebrows slightly..
“So, does that mean that girl is a princess??”
“exactly. The fourth princess and only daughter of Her Majesty Queen Wesen..”
“……queen besen?”
“Yes, Her Royal Highness Queen Wesen. The mother of Prince Ulkar.!”
Phoenix opened his eyes wide and looked back at the girl. When I looked again, the navy blue eyes reminiscent of blue topaz looked exactly like Ulkar's..
“Ulkar's younger brother? Then this revelation—”
When Yuril and Poynix's eyes met, the sound of glass breaking was heard again, and all the elements that made the dream come true turned into powder and scattered. The solid stone walls and windows, as well as the glass, disappeared in an instant..
“Sir, this!” “… … The dream, the revelation, is over. I have to go back now,”
Poynix, who had been reassuring the startled Theodora, looked back at her and stiffened as if her heart had stopped. This is because Theodora, like the other elements around her, was turned into powder and scattered..
No, it wasn't scattered..
Theodora's platinum hair, light green eyes, and pure white face disappeared, revealing a new face..
“Who, me?”
“older sister?”
The voice remained the same. Not a nervous but warm voice, but a gentle but firm voice..
“What are you talking about? Come to your senses, sir.!”
At her urging, Poynix took a deep breath and blinked. The next moment, it was Theodora, not Kim Su-yeon, who was holding his forearm..
“kyung? Sir Phoenics!”
“……Ugh, ah, sorry, I have to go back, I'll go back..”
Phoenix quickly raised his magic power. A band of light, a dimensional seal, flashed on my left wrist..
As if responding to the owner's urgent feelings, the black smoke emitted from the dimensional seal instantly took the shape of a disk. And swallowed them both.
the dream is over.
