52 – Distinct marks left on the body (2)
“It was that child who found me injured in that cold winter.
The two lone beings made a fire and shared warmth in a collapsing house.
Me, who was no longer loved by anyone,
A child who lost those who would love him embraced me.”
Ruterrier thought.
If she had known this would happen, she would have been better off running away alone, leaving Russell behind.
No,
I should have refused the request from the beginning and gone far away.
“Have you ever fed an animal?
Or, have you ever filled the hungry stomach of someone you love?
Have you ever seen the look on your face with your cheeks puffing out and your eyes sparkling?
How lovely that is.
To fatten that delicate body that seems to break if you hit it hard,
I never thought it would be so much fun to bring brilliant vitality to puffy eyes.
Although she had never been a mother,
She found out while raising Russell that being a mother is something she truly enjoys.
As she raised that child, I was able to laugh.”
Before she knew it, the tips of her nails began poking her chin.
Her dull pain had suddenly become sharper.
Ruterrier’s tears flowed out of fear.
An additional reason was added: pain.
“…For a few years, I thought he was my son.
Even though I couldn’t give birth, no, I wanted to give birth.
I wonder if I am more qualified to be a mother than those who disappeared leaving behind such a lovely child.
I asked that many times.
But now I understand.”
He fell on her hit leg again and hit her chin,
Fortunately, her tongue, which had been stuck, was not injured, but-
“Huh, huh, huh…”
Ruterrier had already completely collapsed a long time ago.
Her chipped teeth were feeling tingly.
Her sharp pain became a blunt blow to her head.
Nevertheless, her instinct moved her body.
She had dealt with many of her demons.
Of course, there were chimeras among them.
She is a mixture of people and animals, and she has killed monsters time and time again, giving unforgettable nightmares to adults and children alike.
However,
“That’s how you curl up, hide your tail,
If you try to bow to me,
Your fault doesn’t go away.”
Resistance was not among her options.
There was no fighting dog that would draw out her sword until the end and bite down on the prey once she had taken it.
The red woman in front of me was too huge to be considered prey.
I was engulfed in so much anger.
“The child is mine.
I taught,
I loved you.
Memories of that child, joy, sadness…
I have watched over them all, I have given them to them, and I have cared for them all.
Making that child forget about his unhappy ten years,
Seven years with me filled her little head.
But,
But you,
What did you do that made me deny my time with that child?”
“Well, I never meant to – “
– Wow.
Enough to make students who still can’t sleep shiver once –
Such a sound filled the hallway.
A voice made to reveal that one had completely surrendered.
It is within –
“Ugh, huh, huh…”
I was covered in blood dripping from my cheek.
A wound that looked like a long, straight cut remained.
“Lift your chin.”
The red liquid that wets your hands,
And the overwhelming feeling of despair.
She ended up following his words.
The thought that she would die like this filled her head.
However,
“Why did you think I was going to kill you?”
Her handkerchief was clean of blood,
Her hand touched her cheek, completely covering the wound.
The pain I felt just now seemed like a lie,
It just disappeared like one night of terrible nightmare.
“…Dying is too easy.
Isn’t that right?”
But she was not in a dream.
I was not given the opportunity to wipe away the cold sweat and stretch out casually.
“At first we killed the intruders.
I was desperate. Me at that time.
In order to survive, we just kill, kill again…
Then, when it became too easy, I found a lot of interesting methods.”
Her fingernails traced along her jawline.
As if to make sure the boundary between her face and head is clear.
“Rubbing salt in a wound… Have you ever experienced it?
How are her nails? “You seem surprisingly sensitive.”
Harsh words that give me goosebumps just by hearing them.
She always showed only a gentle smile to her son,
Rosaria was now imagining scenes that would make Luther’s spine go numb.
“But splashing blood like that didn’t suit my temperament.
More than anything, those who dared point a knife at me were already so strong in body that they could not feel the pain.”
With a faint smile, he lifted her chin once again,
Lutherrier looked beyond the yellow eyes that had no idea what was inside.
“Have you ever seen a knight chopping down the most precious people with his own hands and shouting for them to be killed?
Wandering through endless hallways without sleep for a week, who died first?
Dancing endlessly and inappropriately in an empty space with no one around, and crawling on the floor with my body broken was something worth seeing.”
“Stop…”
And then, I cried.
I shook my head roughly and cried.
Her tears, soaking the floor, eventually created a small puddle that reflected on her.
“Whose will it be?”
And the puddle also contained yellow eyes.
“You still don’t know, do you?
Even though I gave such a lengthy explanation.
Even though enough clues were included in the story,
You didn’t understand a single one of them?”
Her tail wrapped around her neck.
It tightened the delicate thing and opened the tightly closed eyes.
The blue eyes have already lost half their shine.
“That child became my everything in just seven years.
It gave me a reason to live and gave me the will to do something.
Chased by humans, hated, and almost… Well.
I feel like I’ve been hunted my whole life.
Me like that for the first time.
When I was about to collapse from exhaustion after this long, long time, that child appeared.
I am the child behind that door.”
Twitching feet.
A hand tapping the tail.
But the blue eyes were already sinking deeply.
“Seven years.
For seven years, my traces were buried in that child.
A prisoner like you would have felt even more sensitive, right?
Didn’t you know what my scent on that child meant?
For seven years, I held that child, hugged him, painted him,
The smell that came from that cute child who slept soundly every day, hugging my tail.
From Noble mtl dot com
The token that was mixed together and smelled softly is no longer there.
No.
Your b*tch deleted it.”
– Clumping.
The tail became even tighter.
What seemed like a slimy coil to my son became a snake to my lover.
That too, a very hungry snake.
“You erased the smell, are you trying to hinder my tracking?
Or is there something that was done beyond my eyes?”
Wince,
For a moment, my struggling body stopped.
“…Han, is that it?”
There was no answer to the question.
Instead, the person facing death,
She thought there was no place to retreat anymore –
He only smiled once.
That was enough.
“This, this – “
The veins on her neck rose and she purred, and then she was thrown hard to the floor, but-
The hunting dog, sensing that it would lose its life, lifted its tail.
The opponent is someone who killed and tortured hunters in all kinds of terrible ways.
If you are going to die or not be able to die anyway.
If you are certain that you will not even have a chance.
The thought that even if I did the worst thing I could do, it wouldn’t be so bad, was in my blue eyes.
“Your son… He really has a strange charm.
I could understand why they were so anxious because they couldn’t catch it.”
“What… Did you… Do?”
It was effective.
And, it wasn’t a surprise to her.
The dragon explained in great detail in front of himself that he cared for and wanted the boy terribly.
Everyone in the hallway knew, and that was actually what Rosaria was targeting.
However,
With nothing left to protect, the dog stood up.
And then, he laughed.
“That child seemed to be very lonely.
He likes to hug anything.
Anything you can get your hands on.”
My neck was trembling.
If you ask me if I’m not afraid of dying, or of being worse than dying,
She would nod her head mercilessly at that.
However, there was no escape hole.
The being in front of my eyes was making an ugly sound with the intention of breaking its teeth and exposing its scales.
“When riding a horse… My waist.”
As if it wasn’t something she was used to riding for the first time, she recalled the feeling of her hand holding her with a very awkward hand.
It was warm, but did not provide much strength so as not to be a nuisance –
As the situation became more tense, the moment I held on to even more tightly was definitely a happy one.
“And when he slept, I could see how much love you had raised this child.
I hugged her tail. “She can’t get out.”
One word, one word.
I saw the dragon’s resentment grow bigger with each breath.
Every time I throw a provocation,
Every time I force an expression that doesn’t match my skills,
“Russell… Was really warm.”
Feeling that a very rapid death was approaching, she faintly raised the corners of her mouth.
As expected, her hands, which flew away with her tears, had nails that looked sharper than any blade she had ever seen.
If you get cut by that, you will definitely die without even realizing that your life has been taken away.
Like that, Luterrier closed her eyes.
Throwing away all her regrets.
“…Mom, please, don’t do this…!”
However, her life did not end.
I was still conscious and collecting the sounds around me.
The legs… Were loose.
I could feel the texture of my wet pants.
“Russell…?”
With a panicked voice, something spilled onto her floor.
If we say rain, it is something like heavy rain.
But my sensitive nose told me to avoid it.
“Why, why – “
Blue eyes opened once again.
The boy was reflected in the dull, lifeless thing.
Her deep cut wrapped around her arm, blocking her own path.
“Mom… I don’t think I’m in my right mind right now.
Ugh, I mean, calm down… Please. Please…”
Due to her injuries, she ended up dropping to her one knee,
To the boy who soon fell to the side and showed a pale face,
Blue eyes steadily took it in.
To the red dragon who doesn’t even seem to dare to fight back,
To her, who thought that her only way out was to have her life taken away from her at once.
Russell appeared.
