depends (1)

Leaving YuRia behind, he came out and closed the door.

Through the crack in the door, I saw a blonde girl crouching in a circle as if protecting her small body.

I licked her still wet tears with my tongue.

It tasted slightly salty. By the time the taste faded from my tongue, I started climbing the stairs.

A girl who is not saved by the main character and eventually loses her life while doing dishonest things in order to gain strength.

I didn’t know if it was really the right thing to take away her desires instead of life.

‘Still, this would be better.’

At least Yuria wouldn’t die doing something useless.

Tring!

[Aware of Yuria’s tendency to depend. Progress (9/10)]

However, the achievement level that made YuRia aware of her dependence was still at 9.

Although it seemed that the castle that surrounded her had fallen from the outside, a wall still remained in Yuria’s heart.

The conditions for breaking it, I know.

This would probably break something in Yuria.

Still, what I said to YuRia wasn’t a lie.

I have no intention of ever leaving Yuria alone in the future.

So it will be fine.

.

.

.

A carriage was driving through the fog.

Fog rarely forms around the Hwangseong, but lately there has been a lot of fog.

It was so hazy that even if I lifted the curtains and looked out the window, I couldn’t see an inch in front of me.

I suddenly remembered hearing that the extreme weather from the distant sea was affecting this place.

Several days have passed since this fog.

I heard the news that people died for days without interruption.

Looking at the fog filled with the energy of death, YuRia got goosebumps as the fog seemed to see her future life with no way to survive.

“Yuria. Close the curtains.”

As he turned his gaze, he saw a beautiful woman sitting in a carriage with a dignified, modest attitude.

The woman in a voluminous dress, with her hair curled up in a formal manner, looked infinitely lethargic despite her splendor.

In the past, she was born as a woman of a low-class aristocracy, and because of her beauty, she was a woman who caught the attention of many men at first sight.

If you listen to the story, it was said that he was a lively person who sparkled like summer sunlight.

However, the woman who received the unwanted selection and lived as the emperor’s concubine for more than ten years now looked a little different from her younger days.

Mother now looked completely like a member of the imperial palace.

No, rather than being a member, it was more like an object placed somewhere in the imperial palace.

It’s also quite faded, like a crumbly ornament that has lost its vitality.

She thought no more. He was just living as a member of the Imperial Palace, which worked day by day like a machine.

“yes. mother.”

Yuria answered quietly as she closed the curtains.

I felt a terrible feeling that my stomach was going to fester.

Like a painting, the chaste figure of the woman seemed like the destination he was going to reach.

After losing in a power struggle, he will eventually get married as if he were sold somewhere, and spend his whole life like that as a member of the family.

Then, at some point, I wonder if I will become like her. A woman who has lost all hope and is just waiting for the day she will die.

YuRia gasped. have to run away have to run away

“Yuria. Thank you for listening to this mother’s request. Thank you for staying by my side and not going to the academy.”

Around that time, Yuria realized that this was a dream.

It was the scenery of one day that would have happened if he had not run away to the academy and had stayed by his mother’s side.

I heard that my mother was in a carriage accident, but I don’t know if it was really a carriage accident. It must have been just camouflage, why such a dream?

“mother.”

Yuria hurriedly stood up.

But, sure enough, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly screamed.

Quaang!

The carriage overturned with a loud, deafening sound.

Among the wreckage of the wrecked wagon, I could see my mother’s hand crushed by the rubble.

Hands wriggling and moving while bleeding.

My breath choked as if a damp cloth had been pushed down my throat.

it hurts, it hurts It’s a dream, why are you sick?

Yuria let out a cry of pain at the throbbing pain.

“What if I can’t do something as simple as this? don’t think about it.”

The boy’s gentle voice came into my ears.

right.

don’t think

I have too many thoughts right now.

Really, too many.

.

.

.

Yuria slowly lifted her eyelids as her hand gently ran through her hair.

Blue eyes, dazzling with tears, first noticed Leonhardt’s soft smile.

“Why are you crying?”

Leonhardt’s hand lightly rubbed the area under YuRia’s eyes.

Tears were wiped away, clearing the blurry vision.

“Did you have a bad dream?”

Leonhardt asked while wiping the corner of Yuria’s other eye as well.

YuRia was about to shake her head, but hesitated for a moment. I have too many thoughts.

She nodded slowly.

“yes.”

Yuria realized that suddenly not doing what she always did was quite difficult.

Like some kind of withdrawal symptoms, something kept coming up.

It was a bit difficult not to do something.

I haven’t had a dream like this lately. The dream also seemed to have something to do with it.

“Did you think again?”

Leonhardt asked as if reprimanding.

Yuria pursed her lips like a baby.

“yes… Sorry.”

Sadness and anguish filled his throat before he knew it.

I’ve always lived with this.

My busy life was all about ignoring this pain.

Leonhard, who had been squeezing the white Yuria’s eye area, pressed his cheek down with his lips.

Warmth lingered on his cheeks.

“Yuria.”

Leonhard spread his arms.

Yuria stood up with a limp body as she should, and wrapped her arms around Leonhardt’s body. Then, helplessly, she rested her head on his chest.

Leonhard’s heart thumped at a steady beat. As I inhaled, the slightly chilly scent of Leonhardt filled my lungs.

“Are you still struggling?”

YuRia breathed quietly for a while, then shook her head.

Before I knew it, the stuffy feeling that seemed to fill my chest was gradually disappearing.

I remembered the dream again.

The people who were on my side in this world eventually disappeared one by one.

Leonhard, as he had sworn, would always remain by his side and never disappear.

‘But hasn’t he also disappeared for three days?’

Yuria ignored the thoughts in her heart.

I knew I was running away from reality on my own, but it wasn’t good to think about it.

Leonhardt ruffled Yuria’s messy hair as she just woke up, then hugged her tightly.

YuRia gasped for breath and gave out a faint groan.

“I’m glad. It’s not hard anymore.”

YuRia hurts a little from you hugging her. I stopped trying to say

Because Leonhardt seemed to like being a little lethargic.

“yes.”

Instead, he answered in a thin voice and buried his face in Leonhardt’s shoulder.

Leonhardt liked YuRia’s slightly stupid appearance.

Even knowing that he had broken Yuria, he still loved being so weak.

“kind.”

Leonhard ran his fingers through YuRia’s hair and touched her ears as if rubbing them.

As the warmth moved to the nape of my neck, I felt a chill spread along my skin. The fluff rose up.

“I made a little progress today.”

Leonhardt lightly rubbed the nape of Yuria’s neck and whispered.

“It will be over soon.”

Will it be over soon, when?

As YuRia’s blue eyes stared blankly at him, Leonhard said with a strange smile on his lips.

“Just wait.”

Leonhard whispered.

“That’s fine.”

Leonhard put a little force on the hand that was brushing the soft nape of his neck.

And he held her neck firmly and met her gaze.

“it’s okay.”

Leonhard looked at Yuria’s pupils, who were trembling uneasy, and spoke as if to soothe him.

YuRia inhaled.

She softly closed her eyes.

Leonhard already knew someone else was there.

But is it really okay? Anxiety pricked his whole body lightly, as if pricked with a prickly needle.

Meanwhile, Leonhard lowered his head.

With a gap of about a finger, the two people’s breaths intertwined, and their sweetness dispersed.

His lips met hers.

A warm feeling rose up in the area where they were facing each other. Leonhard lightly sucked on Yuria’s lower lip, then lazily whispered.

“Don’t think about it.”

The complicated emotions gradually faded.

no more back What was desperate was himself.

Because Yuria Rodmas can no longer live without Leonhardt.

As if it had been promised, when he was out of breath, Leonhardt opened his mouth.

And kissed again.

After the end of the kiss, Leonhardt’s hand ran through Yuria’s hair and kissed her ear as well.

YuRia gasped for breath.

Complex emotions welled up and tears welled up again.

It seemed that a strange sense of rebellion still remained in Yuria.

Leonhardt patted YuRia for a while as he ran his hand down from the white nape of her neck to her slender waist.

until she calms down.

After that, Leonhard said he had work to do and disappeared.

YuRia pulled the blanket Leonhard had brought and wrapped herself in it.

Then he crouched down and looked at the black iron door.

In fact, there was nothing in this room that Leonhard hadn’t brought.

Not only the blanket, but pillows and blankets, food and water, books worth reading, cosmetics, and even the clothes that covered YuRia’s body belonged to Leonhardt.

While Leonhardt was gone, Yuria lived on everything Leonhardt gave her.

A strange sense of belonging and dependence bloomed in YuRia.

Yuria spent the day surrounded by Leonhardt’s belongings.

After spending time in it, Leonhardt came to visit.

At that time, he managed everything for Yuria and whispered a word whenever he went.

“It will be over soon.”

Hearing those words, YuRia trembled with anxiety, and he lightly kissed her and reassured her.

“Then we can go outside.”

YuRia thought for a moment.

‘Will it end?’

Leonhardt never told Yuria about the situation outside.

I just said it would all be over soon.

Maybe he was making excuses to keep him here forever.

But oddly enough, it didn’t seem that bad either.

Trying to stop thinking, maybe going crazy.

My sense of time was blurred, and it seemed like a very long time had passed.

But in fact, it might have been a surprisingly short time.

‘It’s not important.’

As the time she didn’t think about grew longer, Yuria gradually forgot what she was suffering from.

“Almost done.”

“yes.”

YuRia answered while looking at Leonhardt with her eyes wide open.

It will end. someday this time

But, I couldn’t figure out why it was so scary.

‘Even if I leave this room now… ‘

Will I be able to adapt properly?

Can I go out of this room and become Yuria Rodmas again?

Am I capable of such heavy responsibilities as the princess or the student council president?

Gradually, I became afraid of the outside.

He could not imagine a world where there were other people and Leonhardt not protecting him.

This small room felt like a castle wall protecting him.

“You have to chew well. I’m sick.”

One day, Yuria was eating food given by Leonhard.

Leonhardt would sometimes feed YuRia directly like this.

It was embarrassing as if he was handling a baby, but Yuria held back and followed his hand.

YuRia took the piece of bread that Leonhard had handed him to her, took it from his hand to her teeth, passed it into her mouth, and mumbled.

Leonhardt was clearly focusing on Yuria’s face.

I didn’t know what he was thinking, but for some reason, in Yuria’s eyes, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

“Leonhard.”

Leonhardt raised one eyebrow as if to say something.

Yuria opened her small lips, then closed them.

“… never mind.”

YuRia was about to say that she felt scared outside and that she didn’t want to go outside, but she gave up.

If he really doesn’t let me out, I think that would be scary too.

After all, he is protecting himself.

But it was one day when time passed like that.

The appearance of Leonhardt, who entered the room as usual, was a little strange.

He looked a little tired, but at the same time he looked happy.

“It’s all done.”

Leonhard said while holding Yuria’s hand.

I had a bad feeling. The hair all over her body stood on end.

Leonhardt lightly kissed Yuria’s cheek, which was shrinking with tension.

And whispered, sucking her soft flesh.

“Let’s go now.”

he laughed softly

Only then did I realize

With his hands, he was again tearing down the world that Leonhardt had created for him.

How to.

Are you going out of this world again?

Can I live without Leonhard?

Leonhard realized that Yuria’s body was shaking.

Looking at the whitened complexion, Leonhardt smiled and rolled his eyes.

“Don’t worry.”

Leonhardt grabbed YuRia by the waist and lifted her up.

Raising her up, he held her swaying wrist and walked to the door.

When he opened the black door, a staircase was revealed that he hadn’t seen in a very long time.

The stairs without light made me feel more afraid than when I climbed these stairs a long time ago.

Leonhardt realized that Yuria was trembling violently.

Maybe it scared you too much.

However, I liked this look because it was more erotic and prettier.

“Yuria. You just have to rely on me outside.”

Leonhardt went behind YuRia and hugged her.

YuRia felt Leonhard’s body firmly touching her from behind.

He whispered in her ear as he stood supporting Yuria.

“You know. That I will always be by your side.”

Leonhard lightly buried his face in YuRia’s nape and bit off the area near her shoulder blade.

A sharp pain ran down the back of his neck. But strangely, the pain gave me a sense of relief. It was like a token engraved by Leonhardt.

Anxiety gradually disappeared.

No, I was still anxious, but Leonhard was by my side.

“yes.”

Yuria blinked slowly and answered.

Leonhard started leading Yuria again.

YuRia, clinging to his hand as if relying on it, stepped down the dark stairs.
