Lesche opened his eyes after being immersed in deep water for a long time.

He was walking.

He didnt know where he was. The space, which was completely different from any place he had seen since he was born, was just like the space of Tuban that he had seen before.

A space as dark as the night sky, where the stars gently float.

The maze-like structure was still there.

In this unknown place, the reason Lesche continued to walk without stopping was simple. Because Seria was walking by his side and holding his own hand.

Her hair, like the green of a midsummer day, fluttered in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, Serias shoulders trembled.

She slowly looked behind her. Lesches eyes stopped. Seria was crying. He wanted to wipe the tears running down her cheeks, but his hand didnt move. Seria smiled with a wet face and looked forward again.

In the meantime, her steps never stopped.

Only then did Lesche realize where she was taking him.

I promised to marry you back in the day.

Its said that I dont have time anymore, but when I think about it, I dont feel very good.

She didnt know how she found out right away. Just like an animal that instinctively learns how to breathe at birth, it was a fact that came to mind naturally.

Lesche.

It was a voice that crushed his chest painfully.

Can you die without me?

Lesche couldnt answer. His hands had not moved. Seria raised her other hand and rubbed the corners of her eyes.

You always say that I am cruel to you. Who is really cruel?

Why are you whispering all kinds of good things and getting so far away?

I hurt my ankle and I couldnt run straight to you.

.

Because I couldnt leave you either

How far she had walked. The time that Seria wanted to live flows like a meteor over the black sky. There was one thing that she learned thanks to him.

Seria burst into laughter with her wet eyes.

I thought Lina was married to you in the past, but did you know she wasnt?

.

When Mies pretended to be you. When I believed that it was the original story, I couldnt remember anything about you as a child.

It was the memory of Mies, so it was not necessary to keep it.

Lesche did not return any reply, but Seria laughed.

The fact that this man had never been married to any other woman was somewhat pleasing to her.

At one point they were standing in a place like an exit. As Seria, who had been to the world of Tuban many times, it was the first exit she had ever seen in her life.

If she went out here

If only traces of the lost time were real

Then she would be able to bring back Lesches heart at that time.

But if time has already completely evaporated.

Lesche.

Seria turned back. The fact that she cried the entire time she walked through this space, but still had something to pour, was a miracle in the midst of it.

Ill tell you in case its the last time.

Tear-soaked cheeks rubbed against Lesches face. Seria lightly kissed him.

It was nice to meet you.

The exit was open. It was a place full of warm divine power, and there was also a place where the light was too strong to see anything.

The smile on Serias face was painfully distorted.

Whether we live or die, were going to see our old days. We both died early, so it wont be a big deal, but itll be fun to see you proposing to me while bewildered.

Squeezing Lesches hand once more, Seria turned her back. That image clearly remained in Lesches eyes.

It was painful as if someone was pressing his heart tightly, but he couldnt take his eyes off of it. Soon after, Seria stepped forward.

****

14. A long time ago

***

(*First timeline)

Seria was the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Kellyden.

She was also the only Stern of the vast continent.

With strong divine power, her whole body was full of yellow and black bruises, and she had never taken her bandages off except when she was bathing.

Stern, who alone bore the power of the stars, spent her whole life in solitude. Seria, in particular, had strong star power and lived alone in her deepest lavish villa. Everyone froze when they saw Seria. They couldnt even speak. Thanks to this, Seria worked hard to learn how to read other peoples facial expressions.

A crack came to that quiet life on one spring day.

Her starting point was that Seria, who was taking a walk, almost tripped over a stone beak.

.!

A hand gripping Seria as she was about to fall. She couldnt help but panic. The power of the stars in her body was at a level that humans could not handle.The weak ones could be seriously burned even if they touched her for a short time.

She hurriedly shook the opponents hand off and looked at him.

A man big enough to break her neck was a very great looking man. Red eyes were staring down at her.

Seria asked, flinching.

Doesnt it hurt?

It would be normal if it hurts

Why? (Lesche)

A voice dripping down to the confused Seria.

I think there must have been only weaklings around Stern. (Lesche)

What?

So why are you alone like this? (Lesche)

No, why are you so rude?

It was later that Seria learned from the priests that the man was the headmaster of Berg. He was always wearing a helmet that completely covered his face, so Seria didnt recognize him.

And why did that young Grand Duke come all the way here?

Seria held the jewel called Bergs Circlet tightly in her hand. It was hard to control it, and she could feel the power of stars, which had always tormented her, slowly flowing.

Its the first time Ive seen something like this.

She called it the heirloom of Berg.

Can he just present such a precious relic ?

It was true that Seria helped a lot in Bergs subjugation. She was hurt a little bit, but she used to get hurt everywhere that much.

But it was not enough to receive the heirloom of the Grand Duke.

With that thought, Seria had trouble sleeping for several days. In the Great Temple, they were incredibly aware of Serias lovesickness and proposed marriage to Berg.

She was embarrassed by the speed of their work. Seria almost fainted when she heard that Lesche Berg had accepted the marriage proposal.

Are you crazy? Get away right now! If you stay close to me, you will die! (Seria)

However, it seemed that Lesche had no intention of leaving. He groaned and raised his eyebrows.

I thought I told you I wasnt a weakling.

What?

Lesche continued with a more gentle attitude, like a gentleman, who had come to promise his marriage.

Besides, the precious Stern chose me, so is there a reason to refuse?

Chose?

It was a word that could only be used by nobles under the title of Duke. Wasnt Grand Duke Berg on a different level? Seria hesitated and asked.

Dont make fun of me and give me an honest answer as to the real reason why you want to marry me, Grand Duke

Well.

He looked at her and said,

The purpose of Berg is to protect you.

Lesche smiled faintly.

You look so lonely.

Seria didnt understand his words.

Being a noble who protected Stern, he was arrogant.

Lesche tilted his chin and added.

Again, the priests pleaded that you have love sick.

What?!

Were at the marriageable age, so why not get married?

Whether Seria screamed inwardly or not, Lesche took a booklet out of his pocket. Seria took the booklet from his hand and read. The more she turned the pages, the more strange she felt.

What is this??

This is Bergs memorandum.

Read it all and return it to me when we get married.

Then Lesche drank all of his tea and left. Seria was stunned. Does the Grand Duke of Berg change like this once his marriage is confirmed? She felt like she was standing in the middle of a storm.

The funny thing was that she didnt hate it at all.

After Lesche Berg became Serias fianc, there has been a noticeable decline in solicitation to rely solely on her favors.

Seria was the only Stern on the continent, and she was always called around to purify the lands where the demons thrived.

Still, you must have called me because you needed me, but its a little too much to say no.

Its because you are so kind.

Then next time

Seria became embarrassed for no reason.

Next time, Ill try to be a very mean person.

Lesche chuckled.

Ill look forward to it.

One day not long before the wedding.

Lesche, who always visited Seria, took out two small, luxurious boxes from his pocket. When he opened it, there were two blue jewels. One was a unique jewel in the form of a flower, and the other was just a blue diamond.

In the Glick Empire, it was customary to give blue flowers to brides, so he understood the flower jewelry had that meaning, but what about the other one?

Lesche said with a rare hesitancy.

I think its the same color as your eyes.

Instantly, Serias cheeks flushed. Her face turned so red that she quickly turned her head away.

In this mans eyes, her eyes looked like that.

Her heart pounded wildly.

The genuine relics in Berg were really unique. Thanks to this, Lesche also learned how to control the power of the stars himself. Seria poured the power of the stars into the two blue jewels that Lesche gave her.

Since she received the heirloom, she wanted to return the favor. He came every week, and she wanted to relieve the burden of the power of the stars on Lesche.

ButHe looked really strong.

It was the day before the wedding that there was a problem with the boundary against the demons.

The scale of the invaded beasts was much larger than expected. The news that the Knights Templar had been annihilated was reported three times. The escape route was blocked, and reinforcements were dispatched in a hurry, but the beasts were too crowded that they could not easily join.

At that time, Seria saw Lesche vomit blood. She didnt know in what spirit she ran.

Lesche!

He said he was okay. He said he wasnt weak. It was only then that she realized that there was a bandage wrapped around Lesches wrist. She wanted to scream, but no voice came out. The burn marks in the bandage were all too familiar.

It was caused by not being able to handle Sterns power

Her heart shattered with a pounding sound.

Even in the midst of crying, Sterns power was gradually built into the body of the dead fianc. At some point, Seria found out that she had survived alone.

She didnt feel any presence anywhere. It was just a gloomy beasts energy. On the cliff where Seria was, the demons struggled nonstop to climb up.

Seria held Bergs relic in her hand. Her blood, which had burst from her hand, was endlessly smeared on the red jewel.

Despite having overcome so much of Sterns power, she killed her fianc. She still had bruises on her body from divine powers.

No one could stay with her for long.

Why?

It was said that everything would be detached before death, but it wasnt. Everything that was empty began to become clear. Everything gradually turned into excruciating pain.

Seria couldnt handle this world. She was disgusted with her fate, where she had no place to run or hide.

Unless she allowed Sterns powers to make her suffer.

Just give me a normal life just once.

She wished she didnt have this kind of power. She wished she didnt have a family. So she wouldnt expect anything from the start

There was something she wanted to say when she met that person (Lesche) again.

Tears streamed down Serias cheeks.

I miss you, Lesche.

When they meet again, she wants to give him a bunch of red jewels. These jewels remind her of his eyes.

As Stern was bitten to death by demons, divine power exploded like a bomb. A 5km radius completely exploded, and the corpses of the knights began to disappear at the same time as the beasts burned to death like dust.

Even while everything was being erased and Stern was dying, the divine power did not destroy Lesche Bergs body, and it gently descended with all its might.

Because she had the desire to leave only the body of her fiancs intact.

It might mean nothing now

Im glad it meant something.

Seria, who had been walking for a long time, lowered her head as her tears were dripping down. There were no bruises or bandages on her exposed arms and neck. A body where her loved ones could stay close. Even if she grabbed Lesches hand and kissed him, he wouldnt die.

Tubans hair, which had been extended all the way to Lesches heart, shone white. It was reminiscent of the silver chain drawn on Lesches neck. A mark that was said to be engraved only on Sterns spouse.

If its a beating heart, I was worried about how to carry it.

Seria laughed a little.

Lesches heart was wrapped in Tubans divine power, like a mass of light. Holding his heart dearly, Seria immediately turned back and started running.

Lesche was already dead, so he couldnt walk as long as Seria. So they couldnt come together anymore, and he was scattered all alone.

She ran as hard as she could to Lesche. She didnt stop or look back.

The time that had already disappeared became white pieces and began to crumble. Exactly like that, she saw Lesche on the verge of disappearing completely.

She finally caught him.
