【Chapter 214】

When that gentle low voice called my name, I thought time had stopped for a moment.

‘Aisha, he said?’

Surprised, I blinked my eyes.

Did he just call my name?

So, Kail, who had been living a new life with all memories of me completely erased after the past was altered… he recognized me?

“…Kail?”

I called his name just in case, and Kail’s surprised face gradually contorted, revealing deep longing and affection.

Does he really remember me?

“Kail. How do you remember…”

“Aisha!”

Before I could satisfy my curiosity, my whole body was squeezed tight.

Because he suddenly embraced me.

“Aisha. Aisha.”

He buried his forehead in my shoulder and rubbed against me without letting go, making me cough as I couldn’t breathe.

“Cough, cough!”

“Aisha, are you okay?”

Surprised, he finally stepped back and asked.

After coughing once, I barely managed to nod my head.

But there was a more important issue.

“Do you remember me?”

“Of course, naturally. How did you get here? I was actually building this building because of you.”

‘…This building?’

I briefly looked around at the massive architectural structure we were in, then lowered my gaze.

That wasn’t particularly important right now either.

“How do you remember?”

“I read the Hierri’s time records.”

At his words, I recalled the note I had seen the day before.

[After seeing the time records, I learned that Lady Aisha had turned back time in the past timeline to save the Mein. Thank you.]

That was a journal that the Hierri wrote every time they turned back time.

“Actually, they said they couldn’t show it to me, but I kept insisting. I was so curious about… this human called Princess Aisha that came from their mouths.”

Kail’s eyes seemed to burn somehow as he said this.

“At first they were troubled, but eventually they showed me, and after reading it, all the memories from the forgotten timeline came back.”

Having said that much, Kail tried to embrace me again with a satisfied face.

But I blocked his solid chest.

Though I understood the whole situation, I was still dazed and couldn’t easily believe it.

“Can you really regain memories just by reading a journal? The Hierri seemed like they didn’t remember me.”

In the note, they had said they learned from seeing the journal.

That meant they had no memories of their own.

However, Kail had not only regained all his memories but was acting as if his feelings for me remained intact.

“They say that when the person involved in the memories sees the journal, past memories flow into their mind. So the moment I saw the journal, I remembered all the time I spent with you.”

Perhaps trying to calm my surprise, his low voice became even gentler.

That calm voice gradually brought back a sense of reality.

My body, which had been frozen in shock, also relaxed.

Through my gradually widening pupils, the man before me began to come into proper focus.

That’s right. Kail had returned.

The smile he gave me and his voice, everything.

“…Kail.”

“Yes.”

I asked with a trembling voice.

“Can I touch your face?”

Kail answered with actions instead of words.

He carefully took my hand and placed it against his cheek.

When the soft skin contrasting with his firm jaw touched my palm, I finally understood.

The reason Kail had kept calling my name and trying to embrace me.

“…I missed you.”

He wanted to feel it with his whole body.

That the person he had longed to see was alive and breathing before him.

“Me too.”

He smiled brightly and lowered his head to kiss my palm.

Lightly, once.

Gently holding my wrist, once on the back of my hand.

His movements were so quick that I missed the chance to stop him, and my mouth fell open in bewilderment.

“What do you think you’re…”

“What’s wrong with it. I’m your first love.”

At his shameless words, my eyes widened as well.

That was something I had only told Lucas, so how did he know?

“How do you know that?”

“Secret.”

At his grinning expression, my neck and face grew hot.

I remembered how he had confessed to me once.

Without any shame or hiding regarding his own feelings.

It was the same now.

But regardless of how good it felt, the corners of my mouth that had been smiling sank heavily.

“…Aisha, are you okay?”

He asked worriedly, watching my expression.

He fiddled with the cheek still touching my hand and frowned slightly.

“I’m happy when I’m with you.”

“Me too, of course,”

“The problem is, I’m worried this happiness won’t last long.”

His action of rubbing his face against my palm stopped.

I met his purple eyes looking at me and continued speaking.

“I’m afraid you’ll leave me again without a word. Like you’ve done several times already.”

He always thought of me before himself.

He left for the snowy plains worried that I would get hurt because of his magic, and fell alone into the middle of a monster wave to avoid draining my energy.

And in the end, he even died for my sake.

Even though the Frozen Empire and snowy plains are peaceful now, at least one big or small problem will come to us while we’re alive.

If Kail tries to sacrifice himself instead of me then too.

If he disappears from before me without a word.

Happiness became anxiety, and anxiety soon became fear.

With complicated feelings, I was removing my hand that had been touching his face when—

“I’ll never disappear.”

A firm, large hand grasped my wrist again.

“Until you order me to disappear, from now on I’ll only stay by your side. If problems arise, I’ll tell you first.”

When I lifted my lowered gaze, I saw a resolute face.

He too seemed to have felt a lot while regaining his memories, as it didn’t seem like empty words.

“If that’s the case…”

I carefully opened my mouth.

Kail, waiting for an answer, watched me like an obedient puppy.

Even in this situation, he looked cute to me.

“Well, I have to trust you. You won’t do that anymore from now on, right?”

“Yeah.”

Seeing him smile brightly as his tension melted away, I couldn’t help but grin widely too.

“Hehe.”

“Aisha.”

“Yeah, Kail. Hehehe.”

Now that we had confirmed each other’s feelings, there was nothing left to be nervous about.

I took his hand with a comfortable heart and asked.

“But if you got your memories back, you should have come to me right away. Why were you only doing suspicious things in the snowy plains? The Croste Family was on guard because you guys were suddenly building a huge structure out of nowhere.”

“I was going to come find you after everything was completed. Like I said earlier, this place is for you.”

“Now that you mention it, that’s right. What is this thing?”

“Yeah. It’s a royal palace.”

“Huh?”

“Once we finish building all of this, I’m going to officially establish a kingdom.”

What, a what? A kingdom?

This was the most surprising thing I’d heard so far, and my mouth fell wide open.

“Who’s going to establish a kingdom? And if you establish a kingdom, who would be the king?”

“Who else? If we’re talking about the king of these snowy plains, who else would it be but me?”

Kail pointed to himself as if it were obvious.

“Well, I guess that makes sense since you’re a Maein…”

Kail becoming a king?

It was hard to believe and even felt strange, but looking at the scale of the building they were constructing, it was certainly large enough to be a royal palace.

“I didn’t originally plan to establish a kingdom either, but the Hiery people helped me make up my mind. Despite their high intelligence, they were dissatisfied that their society wasn’t systematic.”

“So you’re making it because of the Hierri?”

Kail shook his head at my question.

Then he subtly took my hand and continued the conversation.

“To be precise, those dwarves tempted me. They said if I became king, it would be easier to approach you, since you’re nobility.”

…So that’s why he was making it for me.

Then, the Monster Kingdom itself is being established because of me?

“So, Aisha.”

Whether he was holding my hand or not, I was dazed by his words that he was establishing a kingdom for me when a huge shadow blocked me.

His face had become serious at some point, and he continued speaking with a slightly nervous expression.

“The Hierri are skilled in magic, so they say they can finish building this royal palace quickly. Even establishing the kingdom would only take about a year. When I officially become the king of the Monster Kingdom, I’ll propose to you again properly…”

“We had such a hard time meeting, and you want me to wait again?”

I could predict what he was going to say next, and it snapped me back to my senses.

This guy is trying to make me suffer again.

I raised both arms to grab his face, but the height difference was bigger than I thought, so it didn’t look pretty.

“Come down.”

At my command, he chuckled and leaned his upper body down.

I grabbed Kail’s cheeks as he came closer.

Then I said firmly.

“I’ll help you build the kingdom, so don’t unnecessarily postpone the proposal.”

“…Huh?”

“Do you want to marry me or not?”

Somehow a question that sounded like a serious proposal came out.

But his face turned red as if he had received a romantic proposal.

Kail, who had closed his mouth for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly as if he had made up his mind and said.

“If you don’t want to, I’d be satisfied even as a pet cat…”

“I have no intention of marrying anyone but you. So decide right now! Are you going to marry me?”

At my question, his purple eyes widened again.

I know. I’m embarrassed for saying it so directly too.

But I’m getting angry because you keep dragging it out.

“Answer properly.”

My face felt like it was burning rather than just turning red, but I had to say what needed to be said.

When I spoke firmly with a trembling voice, Kail nodded while his face was still caught in my hands.

“From now on, I’m your husband.”

Oh my goodness.

“You, saying something like that so casually…!”

“Is it wrong?”

“No, it’s not wrong. But first, since only the two of us agreed, we need to get Father’s permission too! You remember now that you got your memories back, but you know our father is really strict, right? It’ll be hard to get permission to marry.”

“He is strict, but His Highness is secretly soft-hearted. If I show my face and stick close to you for about 5 years, won’t he give up?”

We naturally walked hand in hand along the garden path that wasn’t fully completed yet.

“That’s true. Wait, then we can’t get married for 5 years?”

“Don’t worry. The royal palace will be completed before then, so we can secretly hold the wedding ceremony first.”

Thanks to Kail saying something ridiculous so casually, my ears perked up too.

“…Is that okay?”

“We’re adults now. We can do whatever we want.”

“Hmm…”

…As expected, when I talk with Kail, I never know where the conversation is going to flow.

Mine and Kail’s footprints were carved one by one into the snowy field we passed through.

There were many things to resolve in the future, but it was okay.

Now there would be no more hurting each other for each other’s sake, or disappearing without a word.

Our footprints would be carved into the snowy field forever, protecting each other.
