150. Where the eyes cannot reach (2)
Generally.
People want to have what they want.
He jumps to pick the apples from the tree and somehow tries to get them into his hands.
But then you realize that no matter how much you run, you can’t reach the apples on the tree.
At this time, there are two options.
Because I know it is out of reach, I turn my back on the apple and give up.
I know I can’t reach it, so I use something else to help me reach it.
If you choose the latter method, you can easily get the apple you want.
But even if you use something else.
No matter how hard you stretch your hand, if you can’t reach the apple, what method should you choose?
There are three options.
Like I said before, I give up.
And, it uses something else ‘more’.
Lastly, cut down the apple tree.
When you cut down a tree, the apples that were high up fall to the ground and can be easily reached.
Apples will never bloom on the tree again, but you will be able to take a bite of the apple you so desperately wanted.
By pulling it down to the same level as yourself.
‘Princess Raelia is probably planning to use the rebellion to bring down the emperor.’
He’s probably tracking me down to kill me for that plan.
If I die, Nadia, Bluebell, and Yuri will naturally rebel.
I guess I’m destined to be obsessed with a villain.
‘In the original, you teased the crown prince, but I didn’t know you would mess with me. Well, even if I knew, it wouldn’t have changed anything.’
I had to run away anyway.
In an empire, the only way to deal with the imperial family is through rebellion, and if there is a rebellion, many people will die, and I will also die.
There was no particular correlation between the current situation and the princess’s pursuit.
In that sense.
“Bluebell.”
“… “Well, Damian.”
“It’s not your fault. “You don’t have to be so depressed.”
“… Noisy. It’s my fault. Because I looked at the future wrong… You’re going after… “
Where does the confident Bluebell go?
Gloomy Bluebell has appeared.
As I was walking through the desolate desert, I felt like I kept having bad thoughts.
I put my hand on her back to take away Bluebell’s gloom.
“Don’t think too badly. It will work out somehow.”
“If you die… ? What do you do then… ? You died because of me… I think I can handle that… ?”
Depression about the future.
Bluebell knew the future, so she was confident.
However, as the future took a different direction, her confidence disappeared and she began to feel extremely anxious.
In times like this, it was better for her to give Bluebell time to regain her spirit.
“Because I will be by your side. “Tell me when you’ve finished thinking about it.”
“… “
Kkdeuk-
Bluebell did not answer, but bit her nails in her anxiety.
I turned around to also check Nadia and Yuri’s condition.
Is it because I haven’t prepared for the desert?
They were having difficulties.
“Ugh… Whoa, it stings my eyes… “
“… I guess there is no way to get rid of all the sand. “I want to cover the entire desert with stones.”
Yuri could not come to her senses due to the fierce sand wind.
Nadia also showed signs of discomfort due to the sand.
With her neat personality, every single grain of sand must be stressful for her.
‘… Should I have gone back to the forest?’
Should I have hidden in the forest?
I felt a little regret.
However, the path has already been chosen and there is no going back.
In order to survive, you must run away until the end.
The sky is trying to judge me because I have changed so many fates.
In other words, to the being called God.
“… “Damian.”
Think of it as if you are carrying out an important mission alone.
Yuri rubbed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
“I have to go back one more time… I feel a vibration from over there… “
Vibration.
With those words, I focused on the movement of the earth.
I didn’t feel certain, but the grains of sand in the desert were vibrating.
“… “It looks like the pursuer has rejoined.”
“Yes, that’s right…” A little too much this time… And… I’m on a horse, so if I don’t take my time, I’ll get caught… “
“So Yuri, you’re going to go and kill time?”
“Ugh… !”
Yuri clenched her fists, saying she was biding her time.
However, I was a little worried.
‘Yuri has to deal with that many people alone?”
It won’t be resolved through dialogue like last time.
Unlike last time, we brought in a lot of numbers.
You are saying that you will kill me unconditionally.
I grabbed Yuri’s arm as she was about to leave.
“No, Yuri. It’s dangerous to be alone. “You could get hurt.”
Yuri shook his head and lightly removed the arm I was holding.
“It’s okay for me to get hurt, Damien…” “
“What is okay about being okay? Dangerous. Don’t go.”
“No… It’s not dangerous… Because it will only take time… Are you okay… And, it’s more important to me that Damien doesn’t get hurt… If I die… Because when Damien died… Are you okay… “
Yuri said that and smiled at me.
“I’ll be back…” I’m moving forward first… “
Dedication.
What is it about me that makes Yuri do this to me?
I knew that I was important to Yuri.
However, I had no idea that Yuri, who always values other people’s opinions, would be so proactive.
Even if I die and wake up, I won’t be able to understand that feeling.
“Okay, then I’ll come back…” !”
Yuri ran towards that vibration himself to make me leave first.
Me, Nadia, and Bluebell stared blankly at that for a moment.
“… “Let’s go quickly so we don’t waste the time Yuri bought us.”
“… Uh.”
Bluebell’s answering voice was filled with vitality.
And, a small muttering sound was also heard.
“… “I was looking at the wrong person.”
Just like Bluebell.
Did Nadia feel quite a shock at that sight?
Her cool-headed expression was slightly cracked.
“How can you do something like that for someone else?”
Nadia, who had always been there for ‘me’, didn’t seem to understand Yuri’s dedication.
However, for some reason, Nadia’s face showed a bit of resentment.
***
Yuri always cared about other people’s thoughts more than her own.
I was always busy paying attention and understanding the other person’s feelings.
It’s like a ‘habit’ she acquired from living in the North since she was young.
Yuri had secretly abandoned her own thoughts.
Until she met Damien in the North.
‘If Damien wasn’t there… I’d still be in the cold North… I wouldn’t have been able to be foolishly stubborn… ‘
A child’s complaint.
She failed to do the things she should have done as a child.
However, she could do it for Damien.
Damian said he wouldn’t abandon me.
‘Why did I abandon you? He’s a precious friend. No matter how many times I tell you, I won’t give up.’
After hearing those words over and over again dozens of times, Yuri was able to completely wash away her anxiety about being abandoned.
She was able to feel a sense of belonging that she had never felt before in her life. She has become able to tell lies to deceive others.
From then on, she stopped being swayed by the words of others except Damian.
Because it was something other people threw around without knowing themselves.
‘The place I will return to is Damien…’ A place without Damian has no meaning… To me, Damien is a place… Language… It’s a reason to live… ‘
But.
They keep trying to destroy my house.
It is a precious thing that was barely obtained and longed for.
If she hadn’t known this feeling, she might have given up, but the moment she found out, she could never give up.
As she worked hard to gain, the loss will be twice as great as anything else.
“Never… They will never let you see it… “
Yuri stood still in the middle of the desert and watched the procession of her horses.
“I can see Archduke Justia!! “The man is nearby!!”
“Kill him at all costs!!”
“The Emperor’s seat is for the Empire Month!! “If we can’t kill Damian, even if the rebellion breaks out, it will easily end!!”
The knights, engulfed in madness, drew their swords and rushed toward Yuri.
Yuri quietly glared at them.
However, contrary to his actions, his emotions were fluctuating inside.
“How precious Damian is to me… I just want to use it for rebellion… They’re trying to kill Damian… ? I don’t even know how precious Damian is… I will never let you go where Damian is… “
Yuri took no action until his knights had reached a distance of ten paces.
And then, when he got to 5 steps.
“I’m sorry, horses… You guys did nothing wrong… “
I bowed my head to the horses and apologized.
“The bad ones are all the people who want to kill Damian… Sorry… “
Fussuk-
So that the horses cannot head towards Damian at high speed.
One by one, one by one.
Dodging or ignoring the knights’ attacks, he broke his neck and let them go without pain.
Unlike people, be merciful.
In order to take as much time as possible so that Damien can escape safely.
“You guys don’t care… I won’t let you go easily… “
Yuri was determined to always keep his position.
Just like he received from Damian, he wants to return it even if it hurts him.
It was dedication.
