Chapter 622 – Chapter 622 Magic School Shutra (4)
After kissing for a while, I gently stroked Karin’s belly and opened her mouth.
“I’ll use it when I finish this job, so wait.”
“… Yes.”
Looking at Karin’s expression of regret, she must have been really upset.
But on the other hand, it was also a look I liked.
‘Because he only makes that face on me.’
Someone poured cold water on my heartwarming words.
[… Maybe that counts too?]
‘….’
It hurts… Listening to Kang Han Na’s words, I think it’s really like that….
For Karin, I thought that even that might have been a calculated act.
When I put on a puzzled expression, Karin smiled and started guiding her again.
And she stopped in front of a room and said to me.
“Here it is. Please go in.”
Karin only guided her, then turned her body around and spoke to me.
“My belly… Please don’t leave it empty for too long.”
Haha… Keep that in mind.”
Karin left her seat, making my mind more confused.
After confirming that Karin’s back had disappeared, I carefully knocked on the door.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
(Yeah? Who are you?)
I opened her door and entered with Luna’s voice.
As soon as Luna, who was inside the door, saw me, she rushed over and hugged me.
“Uh!? Mr. Suho! Are you okay? Something big happened at the castle….”
I urgently hugged my worried Luna and told her.
“Luna.”
“Yes?”
“I have somewhere to go tonight. Let’s get ready.”
“Uh… Where are you going?”
I opened her mouth to Luna, who was taken aback by seeing me suddenly change the mood.
“It is a secret.”
***
As Luna lived her life, she had one iron rule.
It was just a refusal.
Willingness to reject those who reach out to them.
There was one reason why she refused to touch people like that.
It was because of the fear that if he felt her favor, the momentheheld her hand, the other person would face a terrible ending like his parents and family members.
But nonetheless….
“Come on, hold my hand.”
“….”
Luna smiled at her and slowly began to reach her arm into the hand of the man who held out hers.
She then stretched out her arm, placing her palm over his hand as if she were handling a precious object.
The moment he raised his palm like that, the man hummed quietly.
“I always think of it, but Luna and her hands are cold.”
“….”
Her man asked her slightly taken aback by Luna’s silence.
“Oh, did I make a mistake? It just meant good.”
A man who always joked like an immature man is embarrassed.
To Luna, such a man was like the rolling waves of her life.
A man who made waves in her own life that she thought would be calm.
Luna hummed as she climbed into her wagon, holding her hand at the man’s bewildered figure.
“Since Suho didn’t say anything, it looks like his hands have gotten cold as if he was grumpy.”
Haha….”
Luna smiled at the man who accepted her prank.
So, Luna first boarded her carriage with the help of Seongsuho, and then Seongsuho immediately got on the carriage.
After carrying only two people, the carriage gave the signal to start with the wind cutting through the leather.
Slap!
Dalgrak. Dalgrak. Dalgrak!
The horse began to move, and silence began to hang in the darkness.
Luna looked up at Seongsuho’s face sitting across from her.
‘Whoa… Where the hell are they going?’
She just couldn’t understand.
Until yesterday, she was Luna, who had not been able to sleep well due to the news of the treason.
It wasn’t just because of her own comfort that she couldn’t sleep on her own.
Seong Soo-ho.
It was because this man was in a dangerous castle.
She thought it was Luna, who wanted to jump right in and check his condition.
However….
‘… What could I have done if I went?’
Luna was already aware.
The ability to use magic circles with thoughts and the president’s infinite trust.
She said that she would save Seongsu-ho with those two things, and she knew that even if she stepped in, she would only get in the way….
But she said Luna didn’t move because she had a bigger reason than those two.
‘Karin… During the subjugation with Suho, it seemed that her relationship improved rapidly.’
It was because Karin prevented Luna from acting unexpectedly.
Karin, with her political savvy, could make her situation worse with her futile moves, and she stopped Luna.
Even Luna could understand with her clear head.
However….
‘… Wouldn’t Suho actually suit Karin-nim better than a girl like me?’
Her self-esteem was getting lower and lower.
And so the sound of the wheels of her wagon shook Luna’s heart, slowing her heart rate, and she began to see the color drain from her face.
If it were a dangerous situation, I would have come to my senses, but since the situation was so secluded, nonsense thoughts did not leave my head.
That was the moment when she sat still and felt dizzy.
“Luna.”
“Ah….”
Sung Soo-ho began to worry as she gently stroked Luna’s cheek.
“It’s okay?”
The warm energy that I felt when I held his hand began to enter the cheek he touched.
At the same time, her relief rose, and she felt her heart beat smoothly again.
Luna smiled bitterly and opened her mouth.
“It’s okay.”
“Ah… I should have just told you….”
Seongsu-ho kept her secret from her Luna, and was on her way to a place where she was leading her.
Luna had no complaints about that part.
Rather, it was just more enjoyable because this action he was doing was like a special event.
Luna shook her head at Seongsuho’s embarrassed expression and said to him.
“It’s not like that. Just… I just had a little trouble.”
“Worry?”
Luna lowered her head and started wiggling her hands.
Then Luna involuntarily spat the words out of her mouth.
“I… I’m not sure if I’m compatible with you.”
“….”
Luna couldn’t believe the words that came out of her mouth for a second.
‘I… What did you say?’
Luna could immediately realize how foolish her own words were.
The fact that her words now not only reveal her own low self-esteem, but are also not polite to the other person who likes her….
She waited
What will come out of Seong Soo-ho’s mouth….
If Luna knew Seongsuho, she would surely comfort her and calm her down again.
She believed so.
However, Seong Soo-ho answered Luna’s words by folding her arms, closing her eyes, and nodding her head.
“Well, there was a sense of distance.”
“Uh… ?”
At her completely unexpected words, Luna’s eyes began to darken for the moment.
Even though it was already dark outside, Luna’s vision began to cover her world as if ink were sprinkled.
‘I… Why did I say that?’
The sense of loss that she lost everything in one slip of the tongue.
‘I… Did I make such a mistake?’
And the disappointment of a man who couldn’t understand such a slip of the tongue.
There was already nothing in Luna’s field of vision.
I could only recall Seong Soo-ho’s last words.
It was the moment when I was trapped in a dark world, repeating Seong Su-ho’s words in my mind.
“Luna.”
Along with Seong Soo-ho’s voice, the orange sun-like light around her suddenly began to flow into Luna’s eyes like the thick scent of flowers in a flower field.
Luna, who regained her senses, looked around her.
“Uh? Hey, this is… ?”
It was clearly inside the narrow carriage until earlier.
But now Luna and Seongsuho were standing in a huge hall.
‘Hey, where is this place?’
Luna, who was out of her mind as if her soul was lost at Seongsuho’s words, she did not remember the process of her coming here at all.
Yellow candles shining down from countless chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and a red carpet laid in harmony with the lights.
And a huge throne at the end of the long red carpet.
The king, whom Luna had only seen from afar, was sitting on the throne, and several of her knights and ministers stood on either side of the red carpet, facing each other.
The huge hall made it possible for Luna, who visited for the first time, to guess where it was.
“Ah, the audience room… ?”
“Let’s go in.”
“Now, wait a minute. Su, Suho….”
Embarrassed, Luna unknowingly crossed her arms and began to enter her audience room as if being supported.
Seong Soo-ho stepped on the red carpet as if to support such Luna and slowly headed towards the throne.
‘Eh, what is this… What? Why on earth all of a sudden….’
I couldn’t understand the situation because I was unconscious from the shock from earlier.
In a situation where she didn’t know what it was, Luna was able to stand in front of the throne while holding on to the holy guardian.
‘This, once….’
Even in the embarrassing situation, Luna recalled the formalities she had learned so far and began posting her polite greetings.
She held up the skirt of her dress with both hands and raised her bow, bending her legs.
“Luna Stadtfeld. It is an honor to meet you.”
And at the same time as Luna’s greeting….
Tuck, Tuck, Tuck….
Luna, who lowered her head, began to hear someone’s footsteps in her ears.
Since she didn’t open her mouth, the sound of her footsteps was especially loud.
‘For a moment… No way… ?’
Luna carefully raised her head to determine the cause of her footsteps.
And her doubts could turn into certainties.
“Lung… Your majesty?”
The king of Levin, alone, struggled over her body, coming down from the throne and approaching Luna.
Luna, unable to understand the situation, looked at Sung Soo-ho.
However, Sung Soo-ho only looked at the king’s appearance as if it were natural.
The king struggled to stand in front of Luna without being supported by anyone.
‘What, what… Did I do something wrong?’
Luna, who was distracted by various things that suddenly happened, wanted to jump into Seongsuho.
The incomprehensible circumstances that now flock to Luna began to weigh heavily on her.
And finally, the king, who was one of the causes that weighed down Luna’s heart, began to open her mouth.
“The last remaining blood of Stadtfeld.”
Luna felt a moment of shock at her king’s words.
It was the name of her own family, and nothing else of hers.
‘I can’t imagine using this treason incident as an excuse to come back to the past….’
Luna trembled in fear of her unknown, but she managed to answer with her mouth open.
“Yes… Your majesty.”
“Luna Stadtfeld.”
And the King is right in front of her Luna….
Thud.
“Your Majesty!?”
She suddenly stamped her knees on her carpet, bent her back, and began to wail.
“Me! Gohard Levin, as the King, apologizes!”
“Your Majesty!? What is this….”
Luna panicked and tried to stop him, but….
Not only the ministers standing next to him, but even the knights just lowered their heads and did not look at the king, but only looked at the ground.
And the king went on with his words.
“A hero who protected the kingdom of Levin. Caught up in false lies, the family that the hero built was destroyed with my own hands.”
“Uh, what is that….”
Luna couldn’t understand.
She believed in her parents, but also had to believe in her family’s treachery.
Because the world says so.
Luna, who was young at the time, lacked the knowledge to distinguish between truth and lies.
However, the king did not take care of Luna’s circumstances and confided everything about her.
“The Stadtfeld traitor was a false accusation that didn’t exist in the first place!”
King Levin said, starting with Dominique’s work and confessing all his faults.
“That… Then… My parents….”
“Your parents… I didn’t commit treason.”
“Well, then…. Whoops….”
As soon as Luna heard all her explanations to her King, she began to fall on her side, dizzy with tears.
But she never let her body touch the ground.
“Su, Suho….”
Seongsuho grabbed Luna’s body and started to support her.
Seong Su-ho’s eyes were filled with encouragement, as if looking at Luna and telling her to do her best and hold on until the end.
And Luna, who was encouraged by Seongsuho, barely stood up while holding Seongsuho’s hand.
Seeing Luna like that, the king struggled to raise her body by himself, returned to her throne, and opened his mouth wide.
“As of today, the Stadtfeld family will be reinstated! Luna Stadtfeld. I will bestow the title of count on you! And I will give you the land of Atler… No! I will give it back!”
At the same time as the king’s words, applause began to echo around.
Clap clap clap!!
Luna, who barely endured until the end, began to cry while looking at Seongsuho.
“Su, Suho… This… This….”
Seong Soo-ho, who saw Luna like that, put a pod in her hand and opened her mouth with a smile.
“I will have to work hard to close the gap again.”
