“The sea…….”?

?

A huge sea of moon and stars spread before Roselyn.?

?

The moon and stars were sprinkling their brilliant lights like jewels over the black sea.?

?

“Oh.”?

?

No gold, silver, or treasure had ever shone so beautifully.?

?

Humans may be able to imitate such splendor, but it was absolutely impossible to surpass it.?

?

Day and night, sky, wind, stars, and time were all God’s territory.?

?

It was a marvelous landscape.?

?

Forgetting that she was holding the dagger, Roselyn stared at the glowing sea for a while.?

?

“This kind of world existed.”?

?

Roselyn was born into a noble family and held all the good things in her hands, but she had never seen anything like this.?

?

She slowly closed her eyes and immersed in the moonlight.?

?

She even felt grateful that the last landscape she saw was so beautiful.?

?

The white blizzard that she loved wasn’t bad, but it couldn’t compare to the wonders that she was experiencing.?

?

She was also grateful to Tamon Krasis for letting her see such a landscape.?

?

If it wasn’t for him, who would dare run away with the abandoned Empress, avoiding the eyes of the Emperor??

?

With a smile Roselyn slowly took out the dagger.?

?

A clear sound echoed liltingly.?

?

Just before grabbing it with both hands and thrusting it towards her chest, the blade well separated.?

?

Clank!?

?

“You can’t be too careful, not even the moment you’re sleeping.”?

?

A gentle force grabbed her wrists.?

?

Roselyn looked at Tamon in surprise. She couldn’t believe he was so so close to her but she didn’t hear any sounds….?

?

“……… From now on, I’ll have to put all these things away.”?

?

His red eyes looked at Roselyn quietly.?

?

She got caught. She failed.?

?

‘I wish I hadn’t been mesmerized by that sea view.’?

?

Roselyn looked down at the dagger on the floor with disappointed eyes.?

?

The hand that missed the dagger felt like a bulky, dry leaf.?

?

Roselyn, who was gazing at the dagger on the floor, looked up nervously and stared at Tamon.?

?

“…Interrupter.” She said.?

?

Tamon squinted as if he was dumbfounded.?

?

Tamon, who was staring at her with small eyes, smiled wryly.?

?

“Come to think of it…”?

?

He grabbed her wrist and whispered as he cornered her.?

?

“Whenever you’re injured or sick, I’m going to heal you. Even if a hair falls from this beautiful neck…. I will do whatever it takes to save you.”?

?

He laughed, muttering the creepy words casually.?

?

“You’re a clever woman, so you’ve probably already figured out that I use a special method to heal you. A very debaucherous method.”?

?

Roselyn was well aware.?

?

She managed to suppress the heat on her face as she remembered the moment in the bathroom.?

?

She still couldn’t forget the confusion she felt when his breath entered her down below.?

?

Staring into Roselyn’s subtly flickering eyes, Tamon whispered.?

?

“Still, the fact that you continue to make these attempts means that you want it, right?”?

?

“What?”?

?

Roselyn was speechless. Tamon approached with a smile and snatched her cheek.?

?

“If that’s what you want, you can just say it. You don’t have to go to the trouble like this, I’ll listen to you as much as you want.”?

?

Roselyn didn’t answer.?

?

She just pushed him away and looked under the balcony railing.?

?

When she looked around, as if searching for something, Tamon asked,?

?

“What’s wrong?”?

?

“There’s a dog barking in the middle of the night without shame.”?

?

Tamon couldn’t help but laugh lightly at her reply.?

?

Roselyn scowled at him with an expressionless face as he laughed, but Tamon didn’t care.?

?

At that very moment, Tamon put his hands under her knees and quickly lifted her up.?

?

“What are you doing?”?

?

“While you’re awake, shall we go for a walk??

?

“I’m not going. Let me down……!”?

?

With a slight disregard for her wishes, Tamon’s long legs strode out of the room.?

?

In no time at all, the two of them were outside through the hallway.?

?

“Where are you going?”?

?

“I don’t know. A nice place?”?

?

Where in the world is a nice place at this early dawn??

?

Tamon was nimble and firm in his movements.?

?

Before she knew it, they were at the stable. Tamon went in and came out in an instant, riding a horse.?

?

Then he pulled Roselyn up with one hand.?

?

“Hold on tight.”?

?

“…”?

?

Roselyn purposely narrowed her eyes and glared at Tamon. Tamon smirked and ruffled her hair.?

?

Roselyn panicked at the tender touch. It felt like she was giving away a part of her that she had never given to anyone in her entire life.?

?

Of course, he was a man who had touched and licked her deeper places with impunity, but now that hand was somehow unnerving her even more.?

?

She also felt a little embarrassed. Roselyn silently glared at him, but that brazen man didn’t care at all.?

?

“Neighhhh.”?

?

The splendid horse recognized his master as soon as he got on. It ran unbelievably fast.?

?

They were quickly out of the mansion’s territory and into the deserted dark forest.?

?

With one hand on the rein, and with the other, Tamon skillfully held a simple lantern to light the way ahead. A brighter than expected light streamed out from the small lantern. The surroundings were so dark that even that small light seemed to appear larger.?

?

It was only when they came deeper into the empty forest that Roselyn felt a little curious as to where on earth this man was taking her.?

?

“We’re almost there.”?

?

He whispered in Roselyn’s ear as if he could read her mind.?

?

It was too quiet and his voice sounded closer and closer. Small fluffy hair stood up behind her back.?

?

Roselyn clenched her teeth and tried not to be disturbed.?

?

Tamon’s every move was spontaneous and improvisational.?

?

Perhaps it was one of those actions that had brought Roselyn from the iceberg.?

?

Until then, she had no idea that Tamon was such an improvisational man.?

?

He looked sharp and solid, and always seemed to be as precise as a sharp sword. He also sometimes acted like one.?

?

The Tamon Krasis she knew and the Tamon Krasis she met just before her death were completely different.?

?

“Where …… Oh, there it is.”?

?

Tamon jumped off the horse, sweeping up his hair in the wind.?

?

Roselyn looked down at the outstretched hands. her. She didn’t know how to treat this man, who was more mysterious than before.?

?

She pushed his hands away and jumped off the horse herself.?

?

She had a hard time balancing herself because of her injured leg, and the man had already seen how she walked countless times, so it didn’t matter if she fell anyway.?

?

“Where do we go?”?

?

Tamon, who was empty handed, smiled and took the lead.?

?

“This way.”?

?

He led her to the deepest part of the forest.?

?

This was Tamon’s private forest.?

?

It was a place that existed for a long time, but there were more interesting things here than anyone would expect.?

?

He discovered it not so long ago.?

?

It would be about three years at most.?

?

Five years ago, his body used to get too hot after the outbreak of blood disease. At first, I thought it was the aftereffect of overcoming the disease, but it turned out not.?

?

It was the amplification of his life force.?

?

It was also by chance that he learned about it.?

?

If he hadn’t looked at the worn-out book he found in the family’s library, he might not have known it until now.?

?

He didn’t know that the fifth generation of the blood disease was Krasis.?

?

It was a fact that neither the emperors of each country nor the parties of the family knew.?

?

The five fragments of God. Five humans received it.?

?

They have a special history.?

?

However, there had only been five people who had actually inherited this legend.?

?

The fifth one didn’t appear until after the first manifestation, and then it was considered a lost power.?

?

But that was because no one had ever been overcome by the power before.?

?

After the power manifested, his body became very hot.?

?

It was burning hot, in fact, that for a while, he had to relieve himself of it or his heart would be overwhelmed.?

?

The way to relieve the heat was amazing and strange. It was spewing out something that made up his body. It could be sweat, tears, or even blood.?

?

His life force escaped through his body fluids. However, draining the sweat and blood came with some restrictions. In the end, there were two ways.?
