Episode 319 < Infinite path. (1) >
One.
It’s free.
“…….”
I blinked.
I blinked and tried to move my fingertips at the same time. It moved.
Without any problem, I raised my head, lifted my back, and moved my lips.
“seaweed… … , Confucius… … .”
It has been done.
I could tell. my name. Coordinates of my traces.
I didn’t lose it.
“Wha…!?”
At that moment, a sharp pain gripped my head.
“Ugh…! Ugh…!”
The blood vessels on the side of my head were bulging and felt like they were going to explode. The headache quickly spread from the side of my head to the front of my head. Thick! My lips parted and my salivary glands throbbed, refusing to be controlled. I managed to wipe the drool flowing from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand.
“Huh… … .”
“miss! Are you okay!”
Someone jumped up! came running in. The sound of the door and footsteps were intertwined.
Even the noise filled with urgency was loud, as if my fingernails were gnawing at the metal in my head.
“laugh… , quietly… … .”
I couldn’t help but moan.
“Make some noise…” … .”
“oh my god. “Look at the heat on your head.”
Fortunately, the other person seemed to understand what I was saying.
“I thought you were feeling a little better over the weekend, but oh well. “I’ll get a doctor.”
“hmm…….”
“Please wait a minute. miss. “The other kids will come right away.”
It was difficult to understand the situation.
Seeing as I was called “Miss,” I guess I had become a woman.
So, was ■■■■ ■■ ■■■’s original gender female?
‘Strange.’
■■■■ ■■ ■■■’s original gender was not recorded. He was obliterated. He has stripped the tower of its name and appearance, so even if I could catch a glimpse of the trauma with my skills, I wouldn’t be able to tell.
Aren’t my skills also cast from the tower?
‘why?’
I was blinded by the pain.
‘What kind of person has the trauma been replaced by…’ … .’
And the moment I raised my head and faced the mirror in the room.
I even forgot to moan and opened my mouth.
“…….”
Silver hair that makes the moonlight shine.
Blood-colored eyes that make those who face them feel scared.
However, the curve from the forehead to the jaw line is so heartbreaking that it is impossible not to watch the acrobatics that seems as if it will break, and while humans feel a fear unknown to them, they are also not allowed any option other than to look at her.
that.
“Lady Raviel? “Are you okay?”
“As soon as I woke up today, I felt like I had a fever in my head again… .”
“Because he is a person who naturally suffers from many minor illnesses. it’s okay. “It’s probably nothing serious.”
“What should I do? Should I tell my wife?”
“It would be like adding worry to worry. After I saw the doctor… … .”
He was the person I loved.
2.
It’s free.
“…….”
I lay down by the fountain in the garden and looked up at the sky in a daze.
I guess I have become the beloved goddess, Raviel Ivansia.
That was also when Raviel was very young.
“I guess I’m about twelve… … .”
Even though this muttering voice may have been refracted once in the mouth, it still has a beautiful sound.
“eww.”
Even though I was just muttering to myself, I still felt embarrassed. It felt like Raviel was whispering something to my head.
What should I do?
If others see this, they will look like a person who is embarrassed because they fell in love with their own voice, but they are just crazy people.
Regardless of my shame, it’s a bit… .
“is it.”
I realized.
“I have no choice but to become mute… .”
It was a genius answer.
“I guess I’ll have to live with my eyes closed while I do this. It’s okay if you don’t look in the mirror, but then the maids will have trouble dressing you. “It’s best to keep your face bandaged.”
“miss! Boo, you shouldn’t be lying by the fountain!”

A maid came running hurriedly from afar.
“Welcome.”
I was lying on the stone ledge of a circular fountain. Even though the sun is shining, the cold air from the fountain seeps in and it feels cool.
Raviel liked cool energy. It was true that she didn’t know since she was living with her. As if it was the same when she was young, her body instinctively sought a cool place.
“No, you said it wrong. Come slowly. “I’m out of breath.”
“Hehe, hehe… Oh my, oh my, I’m dying… .”
“Has it already fallen? The advice is late. “It’s the owner’s fault for not being able to take care of the servant’s panting.”
“Ah, miss… . If you lie down in a place like this carelessly! As the greatest lady in the empire, your dignity is questioned… !”
The maid covered my waist with a thin blanket. Even the blankets have a top-notch feel. The Ivansia family has been extravagant until now, as if trying to prove that there is no need to save money.
“is it?”
“yes!”
“But think about it carefully. As you said, I am the greatest lady of the empire. However, being the best lady of the empire is not only given at birth, but is like a qualification document that must be proven repeatedly in the future.”
“yes?”
“If I am not worthy of being the best lady, as you said, lying leisurely by the fountain will only make me look vulgar. In the end, my bowl is just that. But what if it’s not vulgar?”
“yes?”
“If I still look noble despite lying by the fountain, that is proof of my lady power. Isn’t it? The greatest lady of the empire is someone who should feel nobility in eating, sleeping, wearing, and just being alive. Of course, shouldn’t even the sight of one lying down by the fountain be a painting?”
“uh… … Ugh, wow… … ?”
“So the blanket is unnecessary.”
I tapped the blanket and let it flow into the fountain.
“oh! Rain is expensive… … !”
“Even a fountain might want to cover itself with a blanket sometimes. Instead, look at me.”
The maid didn’t know what to do and followed my orders.
My image was captured in the maid’s eyes.
The image of me lying on the stone ledge of the fountain, with one arm down, looking askance at the maid.
“…….”
“How is it?”
“… … “You are noble.”
“Is it a picture?”
“yes. Miss, it’s a painting… … .”
“Ask your aesthetic sense. Is putting a brown blanket around the waist of this portrait a cultural gain or a cultural loss? If a picture has to be hung in the hallway of the imperial palace, should there be a blanket here or not?”
“… … what? It’s more beautiful without it… … ?”
“That’s it.”
I nodded in satisfaction.
“In other words, it has been proven that there is no problem with me as the Empire’s number one lady. They are trying their best to create a picture that can be hung on the wall of the imperial palace. “It turns out your worries were unnecessary.”
“huh? ……Yes?”
“Go quickly. “I want to enjoy the freshness of the garden and the sound of the fountain a little more.”
“Ah yes… … . huh? huh… … ?”
The maid continued to tilt her head and stepped away. The whole time she was backing away, she didn’t stop gawking. When she saw that, her cold heart felt a little cheerful.
wee.
The sound of water flowing from the fountain next to my head.
“…….”
It’s free.
“…….”
It’s free.
“…….”
It’s free.
“hmm…….”
What is it?
This bottomless, sinking boredom. no. What about the boredom that is the bottom itself?
“indeed.”
This is Raviel’s childhood.
“Am I not interested in the world?”
An emotion that dominated my entire childhood.
“Whether I’m reading books, chatting in social circles, or learning how to use a sword, I don’t feel like doing anything is worthwhile.”
The sky was blue. It was clear and there were few white clouds. But even that sky would have more diverse expressions than my face and Raviel’s face now.
Absolutely expressionless.
From now on, let’s assume that there are several tracks or tracks that you can walk on while alive.
‘Become the emperor’s wife. She becomes an empress and makes the emperor her puppet to play with her empire. Or, gather together a faction of nobles and rebel in Ivansia’s name. She rules over the newly built empire and enjoys twenty years of reign.’
Perhaps that was the maximum of the line given to Raviel from the time she was born.
‘Anything is possible.’
I had an intuition that no matter which of them I chose, I could succeed as long as no accidental misfortune intervened.
‘Your Majesty, the current emperor, is a saint. There is no reason to plan treason. The sight of the subjects working hard under His Majesty’s knees, and the subjects wielding pickaxes every season in the land of Ivansia, is very satisfying.’
I thought the scenery was beautiful.
Just like when you see a famous painting you don’t know much about, you just feel it’s beautiful, but it’s not fun.
The feeling of [I want to protect beautiful things as they are] was in my heart.
‘Then I want the empire… … . Exactly, will we be able to endure a life lived for the people of the empire?’
It must be meaningful.
only.
‘It’s boring.’
I can’t stand it because it’s boring.
Every morning, he wakes up, brushes off the dust from famous paintings, works to preserve the colors, catches thieves who try to destroy these paintings, and kills thieves who try to steal them.
That’s it.
Life is all set from morning to evening.
“hey.”
Fondant.
Ripples rippled on the water surface of the fountain.
When I slowly turn my head, I see a blonde boy in the middle of the garden, holding a pebble and smiling.
“ma’am.”
“…….”
I opened my lips expressionlessly.
“Not yet madam. majesty.”
“Then I plan to deny it.”
“Wouldn’t it be rude if I called you Emperor Yeonje?”
“I consider it a virtue of a married couple to accept each other’s rudeness. If you don’t accept it, well, you’ll have to hire a spy. Do you hope for that kind of future?”
“Honestly, I don’t mind.”
“My wife, Ye Jeong, is a woman with a truly cold heart.”
The blonde boy lamented quite convincingly.
The only legitimate son of this empire. Heir to the Empire, Crown Prince.
He was also the man who was designated as my fiancé 20 years ago.
This means, even before birth.
‘Is this also a railroad track?’
The blonde track spoke.
“You never stand up and show respect. “Except for you, you are the first person to lie down even after seeing me.”
“Because you said that it is a virtue of a married couple to accept each other’s rudeness.”
“oh. “Then it’s okay if I go out a little more rudely.”
The crown prince grabbed my wrist. His wrists were cooled to just the right amount of cool, so when the Crown Prince held them, his body temperature shifted. It will probably remain as a red mark on my wrist.
“Let’s go.”
“Where do you mean?”
“Anywhere. Well, to be honest, Abama needs to fawn over you. What I’m saying is that there’s nothing wrong with showing off to the Ivansia family. I agree. “If you’re going to flatter her anyway, wouldn’t it be better to fret over the most beautiful lady in the empire?”
“You speak well. “In the future, it will be a disaster.”
“huh?”
The boy tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“Words are spontaneous, but actions resulting from spontaneous words leave a lasting mark. Considering even these traces is called responsibility. Words only speak once you open them and close them, so in order to take responsibility, actions must follow. “Your Majesty speaks well, so your journey will be that long, so I hope you can handle it.”
“……?”
indeed.
I didn’t understand.
The crown prince is imitating adults as best as he can, but that doesn’t mean he can understand advice that touches the vein of life.
Because only an adult or a genius can understand that.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince falls into neither of these categories.
“You sound like a prime minister. Well, that’s it. “I didn’t come here to get tutoring from my wife, Ye Je-dang.”
“If you please?”
“There’s a new store opening on that street! I heard it’s a refreshment shop. “There are a lot of exotic refreshments, and they say they’re very delicious with seasonal strawberries!”
“… … If it’s a snack, you can prepare it right at home. Should I ask you to bring it to me?”
“Ah, you have no idea. This is planned. “I have no idea!”
The title has changed from wife to wife, is it now planned?
“Aren’t the refreshments served from the kitchen nothing more than proof of service? I’m not looking for service. Appropriate exchange between free people and free people… . yes . “I want to do business freely!”
“My subjects will look at you and me and envy us for being so free.”
“You guys envy each other. “It’s an ideal military-citizen relationship!”
doesn’t listen
Rather, this man has no idea what he is talking about and is just picking up plausible sentences and scattering them around.
“Come on, come on! I already got a carriage. It’s not the imperial carriage or your family’s carriage, it’s just a carriage borrowed from a merchant. “No one will recognize us!”
That can’t be possible.
Her silver hair is a symbol of the noble Ivansia. As soon as she entered the tea shop, Raviel could easily imagine the sight of the employee kneeling down in embarrassment and the owner running out in a huff and bowing down.
is it.
“Your Majesty’s will be done.”
“Oh oh! Still, it makes sense, Jejeong!”
Is there a simple way to get off the track?
“After stopping by the store, let’s go to the market! Phew. I’m not bragging, but I’ve already visited all the 6-day and 3-day markets held in the Imperial Capital, and even the permanent market. “It can be said that he is a far superior expert than you in this field.”
“yes.”
All you have to do is be a little stupid.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Look forward to it!”
When I’m with this man, I feel like my life is shaking.
Things that are familiar to me, the daily life I will spend today, what I will eat and drink, where I will sleep, all the tracks are shaken and twisted.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was ‘fun’ though.
Without a doubt, it was something that could be considered ‘fresh’.
“Ego! expected! “This way, this way!”
I can forget myself, just for a moment.
Where is that?
If that’s the case in your life, wouldn’t it be a reason to give your heart?
“That’s amazing. Have seasonal strawberries ever been this delicious? Now, try planning too. hmm. After this… … I suddenly wanted to see the sea. ocean. What is it like? “Let’s go to the sea.”
Because getting away from myself is the hardest thing.
To forget.
For a person like myself, forgetting has always been the most difficult.
“It’s so dark I can’t see the sea…” .”
“majesty.”
Yes.
“hmm?”
I decided to be satisfied with this life.
It’s free though. It’s absolutely free.
“I will try my best to love Your Highness.”
“oh! at las… … .”
“Yes, there is a condition.”
Sometimes, there are lives where you have to be satisfied with only the moonlight reflected on the water, not the sun.
“Love only me.”
“…….”
The surface of the water must be calm for the moonlight to shine through.
I decided to just ask this world to be quiet.
“Do not take a concubine. Don’t even look at her. “If love is possible in your heart, please allow the love she has only for me. If love is impossible, please pour that effort into only me.”
“…….”
“Then perhaps I can stay by your side. By assisting Your Majesty, I will be able to protect the empire and protect all people. majesty. “Can you promise that you will love only me?”
The boy kept his mouth shut.
Not long after, the boy spoke brightly, with a plausibility that was no different from usual.
“of course!”
“…….”
“I will love only your wife!
okay.
It would be good to have expectations about the world.
At least, rather than the sound of water rippling in a fountain—the sound of waves echoing in the invisible sea, without knowing the end or even the bottom, is a little cooler.
[It embodies the trauma of the enemy who killed you.]
I am.
I quietly closed my eyes.
