【140】
* * *
Blake Isshel had actually been loitering before the Banquet Hall doors for quite some time.
He’d instructed the servants not to announce his arrival, and now he circled the same spot endlessly—he’d lost count of how many times he’d gone around.
His gaze fixed on the light seeping through the slightly ajar door, his fists clenching and unclenching. He parted his lips with difficulty, only to close them again.
At the end of his line of sight stood a girl with rose-colored hair.
‘Mongdol! Let’s sleep together!’
That radiant smile.
‘Mongdol, you know? Today…’
That tender touch.
‘We’re going to live together forever. You understand, right?’
That gentleness that had kissed him countless times.
Blake, who had lost his beloved family and been stripped of everything by his Uncle, carried deep wounds in his heart.
The raw, bleeding wound that had only grown wider with each passing day—finally, someone had applied a staunching agent to it.
The bitterness that had filled his heart softened after meeting Superti Fasayen.
If she hadn’t been human. If she hadn’t been the legitimate heir of Isthel, he would have been content to live as a dog forever.
He’d even entertained such thoughts.
‘I need to tell her it wasn’t a deception, that I’m Mongdol.’
His feet wouldn’t move.
Perhaps it was because the back of his neck had flushed crimson.
Blake rubbed the nape of his neck and exhaled a low sigh.
Then, summoning every ounce of courage, he attempted to take a step forward.
But that was when it happened.
“Ugh!”
Thud!
Someone appeared suddenly and struck his shoulder forcefully as they passed.
“Ah, um, the Laximon Household Master Deputy. You’ve arrived.”
“Don’t introduce me.”
“Yes? Yes, understood.”
Shoved to the side, Blake glared at the figure with a darkened expression.
The one who brushed past him and monopolized the space before the door was a boy beautiful enough to inspire dread.
With a brilliance that blazed like lightning itself, a hostility so vivid that Blake gritted his teeth.
“Rasifer Laximon?”
“Hmph.”
Rasifer Laximon let out a scoff and entered without uttering another word.
As though all the light in the world belonged to him alone, brimming with arrogance.
As if he’d been born from light itself and knew nothing but brightness.
Rasifer’s feet never once touched the ground—they hovered throughout.
“What the hell is that guy?”
Blake muttered in bewilderment before freezing in place before the open door.
There was no other way it could have been.
Something extraordinarily special was happening to the girl he had been holding in his gaze all this time.

Soft petals drifted gently.
‘Flower rain is falling!’
A single pale pink petal descended and settled on the tip of my nose.
My nose tickled, and as I sneezed—achoo—the petal fluttered away and fell beneath my feet.
“Huh?”
I slid my gaze downward and gasped in surprise upon noticing that flowers were blooming profusely beneath my feet.
“Look at the Fasayen Princess. The flowers are blooming only around her.”
“You’re right. The petals drifting from the sky are falling all over the place, but….”
At the murmurs around me, I took a few steps forward.
And with each step I took, flowers bloomed in my wake—what was happening?
Pure white, delicate lisianthuses and pale pink miniature roses. Soft green lilies and cheerful yellow daisies.
It was a symphony of flowers.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ trembles with delight.]
[Beautiful! So beautiful! I was right to watch this parenting variety show…!]
Suddenly, the Emotion Spirit King was overflowing with joy.
When this happens, usually someone’s companion appears.
And that was when it happened.
“Hello.”
A sweet, tender voice brushed against my ear.
“Jellyfish Owner.”
A voice as soft and careful as the wingbeat of a swan with freshly sprouted white feathers—delicate as the tender shoots of a willow tree.
And then, our eyes met.
Ah, what should I call this?
“Rasifer?”
“Yes. It’s been a while.”
I recognized you instantly.
I couldn’t have failed to recognize you.
A sensation that no words, no description could ever fully capture. It’s you. It’s this person. The one I’ve been waiting for all along, my person.
My completion.
As you rise, I fall; as you fall, I rise.
As you emerge, I set; as you set, I emerge.
We are the seam and the closure, the gap that cannot be widened.
Simply, ‘it was always meant to be this way’.
Gazing deeply into Rasifer’s violet eyes, I read them.
An instant was infinity, and infinity was an instant.
In this moment, there was no one else in the world but us, and that was enough.
Rasifer surely felt the same way.
‘Ah, truly beautiful.’
Bijou blossomed across Rasifer’s face.
My Bijou rests at the nape of my neck, invisible to others’ eyes.
But here’s the thing.
Why does it bother me so much that Rasifer’s Bijou is visible to everyone else?
It’s mine anyway.
Everything about this bond forming right now is mine.
Only I should see it.
“Shu is jealous.”
“Yes.”
“Good. I am too.”
Rasifer drew close and gently pressed his forehead to mine, his eyes widening beautifully.
His hair rippled like spun gold.
From his embrace, he withdrew something, and I caught the glimmer of the cufflinks I’d given him on his wrist.
“I waited so long for this.”
Rasifer placed something around my neck, whimpering like a child seeking comfort.
“You should praise me for my patience.”
“I will.”
Thump, thump, thump.
My heart raced wildly.
Not far away, I felt Rasifer’s heart thundering just as fiercely.
Yours and mine. Mine and yours.
We would have no distinction between what belongs to whom, no boundaries in each other’s lives.
I loved this intertwining.
At that thought, I heard delicate laughter echoing from somewhere deep within my mind.
Yes, me too.
Curious at this, I gazed into Rasifer’s eyes, and he lifted the corners of his mouth in a secretive smile.
You can’t see all of me completely.
Why not? Why can’t I? Then I won’t show you either.
I’m afraid you’ll be frightened.
I’m not afraid. You said I was born without fear.
No one is. You simply haven’t encountered anything truly terrifying yet.
How much time had passed? Or had none at all?
I couldn’t tell.
In that space, we conversed through our hearts, through our gazes.
There was no need to speak aloud for others to hear. That was so… extraordinary.
“I’ll show you someday. When you’re grown.”
Click.
The connection severed.
Pulled from my state of selflessness, I stumbled back into reality for a moment, but Rasifer held me steady.
“That’s enough for today. Losing yourself completely isn’t healthy. Ultimately, we are one, but we must still live as two separate beings.”
“Ah….”
“You’re not feeling dizzy, are you? Shu.”
How could Rasifer be so considerate?
I sensed it in his letters too, but his nature truly is this thoughtful.
‘Compassionate, courteous, and respectful.’
My partner is really something special, isn’t he?
“Wow! Congratulations!”
“A Viju bond! I’ve never seen one in person before!”
“Goodness! How wonderful!”
“The Fasayen Princess and the Laximon Household Master Deputy! This is huge news!”
As the light weaving between Rasifer and me faded, the dazed onlookers erupted into screams.
Especially the young noblewomen my age rushed forward in excitement, and before I knew it, I was surrounded by a throng of people, my vision spinning.
“Those petals just now—that was magic, wasn’t it? How romantic!”
“I’m so envious. You two are even close in age!”
“To meet so young. What could the Fasayen Princess possibly lack? I’m jealous…!”
I want to answer, to respond to them—
‘This is chaos!’
And on top of everything, the Spirit Kings were dancing merrily, showering us with blessings.
Behind the wave of people surging toward me, I caught sight of Maximilian with a look of shock in his eyes.
Maximilian, his expression vacant, opened his mouth slightly to say something the moment our eyes met, but I couldn’t see what it was.
Because at that same instant, Rasifer squeezed my hand firmly.
“Shall we escape?”
