‘It was a close call, with the Ice Dragon opening his eyes at the same time. Either way, it’s a relief you found her safe and sound, but what are you going to do now?’
‘When was I ever the type to plan?’
‘Your marriage was a one-time thing, in the first place.’
Their eyes that pretended to be worried about the subject of their arranged marriage, which they regarded as a one-time thing, were filled with pity.
So Izek was more sarcastic than usual.
‘I don’t know, if either of us were slaves, we’d be filming the romance of the century.’
‘I don’t know why you’re mad at me. With your temper, your or your father would have sent her on a ship bound for Romagna by now, no matter what she said. What’s bothering you?’
What was bothering him?
He didn’t know. All he could be sure of was that he got annoyed whenever King Feanol acted like a caring outsider.
Even when he pretended to be adept, while having a former pagan slave as a queen despite all kinds of opposition.
‘She’s known all over the royal families now.’
‘She’s the daughter of the Pope.’
‘As your wife, in the north, she’d be under your jurisdiction. If what you’re feeling is just a clumsy sense of responsibility, let it go when you can. I won’t stop you. You’ll regret it a lot if you push for it with compassion or responsibility.’
‘…….’
‘At times like this, you look more like your mother than Ellen.’
You look more like your mother.
That wasn’t even funny.
Princess of Britannia and Duke Omerta.
A woman who had always been unhappy while living in the center of power and yearning for life, eventually hanged herself.
He was the first person to find her mother hanging from a willow tree early in the morning.
His father, who ran one step later, hit the willow tree until his fist was covered with blood.
Like the tree was the one who killed her.
At first, they really loved each other. They were so passionate.
No one interrupted the love between the two, nor were there any obstacles, so they just struggled in the pit created by themselves, but eventually the wife hung herself and the husband drove her to that act.
Neither side understood nor wanted to understand.
Yes, at first Izek wanted to meet his mother again and ask her.
He became a paladin with the desire to reunite with his mother, who became a ghoul in exchange for her unforgivable sin of suicide.
Such naive thoughts died down every time he killed a wild beast.
His mother really had died. But now, as a ghoul, she was just another being to kill.
The question of whether his mother would be among the countless fallen remains of his sword became irrelevant.
It was not for any other reason that he kicked himself out of every marriage talk and claimed to be an ascetic.
It was not because of the shock caused by his mother’s suicide, as others recklessly guessed.
