Part 2, Chapter 76 (269)
“Oh my, our young lady. Sleeping so peacefully without a single restless habit—how unusual.”
“Shh! You’ll wake the young lady!”
“But it’s been a whole week now. Shouldn’t she be waking up soon…?”
“Didn’t you hear what the Head Maid said? The young lady accomplished a great deed, so she’ll be sleeping for quite some time.”
Whisper, whisper.
The sound of someone conversing with another gently tickled my ears.
Warm air drifted in as if the window had been opened, caressing my face.
A smile bloomed unbidden, and the maids erupted in delighted exclamations.
“My goodness, our young lady must be having a pleasant dream.”
Ah, I want to answer them, but my body feels so terribly heavy.
“That said, we won’t be departing until you wake. The pirates have been quiet lately anyway.”
“Oh, older brother. Sugar is smiling?”
“Ah, so she is. Perhaps we appeared in her dreams.”
“That doesn’t seem to be it… well, in any case. Let’s go.”
Rustling, careful sounds. Voices brimming with affection.
The people who had been speaking to me slipped out of the room once more.
‘Ah… I’m so sleepy.’
I can hear everything, and I want to answer them. Are they all well? What happened after?
There’s so much I want to ask.
‘But I can’t move a single finger.’
As if I’d swallowed water, my limbs hung limp and heavy.
There’s nothing to be done about it.
I’ll just have to sleep a little longer… just a little longer.
“My Love, please wake up. Your sleepiness is adorable, but I’m dying of longing.”
Perhaps much time had passed.
I had drifted into unconsciousness, but a hand brushing my cheek drew me back to awareness.
Though I still couldn’t open my eyes.
‘My eyelids are so very, very heavy.’
Yet the sensation wasn’t unpleasant.
Rather, it felt profoundly peaceful.
As though I had finally returned to where I belonged.
Birdsong drifted through the window from time to time. Laughter and chatter rode the breeze.
Warm and cozy.
‘Those nightmarish days have finally ended.’
Still, I want to sleep a little longer.
Just a little more…
It was on a warm night that I, who had been sinking deeper into peaceful slumber, rose toward the water’s surface.
“…Ah.”
The moment I finally lifted my impossibly heavy eyelids.
I beheld that radiant brilliance once more.
“Pel.”
But no answer came.
Seized by sudden concern, I propped myself up and froze upon discovering a man sleeping against my bed.
‘Come to think of it… have I ever seen Rasifer asleep before?’
I didn’t think so.
He had always been there beside me, every single time.
I had never witnessed him at rest.
“….”
My body seemed intact, at least.
The moment I regained consciousness, the Spirit Kings inundated me with messages, obscuring my vision entirely.
As I read through them one by one and pushed them aside, Rasifer came into view again.
A platinum-haired man sleeping with such profound stillness that I wondered if he was even breathing.
‘That position must have been uncomfortable… yet he didn’t sleep in the bed.’
Now that I thought about it, throughout my sleep I had heard his voice like a whisper from a dream.
Speaking of how beautifully the flowers had bloomed today, how splendid the weather was, how crisp the air felt and suggesting we take a walk together… such things.
‘Even after coming here, you continued to watch over me.’
Though there was nothing dangerous anymore.
The soft texture of bedding cradling my hands. The room’s temperature always perfectly suited. My bedroom filled with gifts from family.
Yes, this was my bedroom in Fasayen.
A place where nothing could threaten me.
“I’ll protect your dreams too.”
I whispered gently to him, then carefully propped a pillow against my back and sat up.
Then I waited, softly running my fingers through his lustrous hair.
Just as he had waited for me.
Rasifer awoke an hour later, as the crimson sunset began to paint the window.
I marveled at how one could gaze upon a human face for an entire hour without growing weary.
His shoulders trembled slightly before he slowly lifted his head.
“Shuya, you’re awake.”
“Yes!”
“Ah… today’s dream was lovely too.”
Wait. Did he think this was a dream?
I stared blankly at Rasifer and noticed his jeweled eyes were unfocused.
‘He hasn’t fully woken yet? How adorable…!’
I had never seen him like this before.
When I placed my hand gently against his cheek, Rasifer nuzzled against it like a drowsy cat, displaying affection.
“I dreamed of you waking up. Every day, every single day.”
“Yes, I’m awake. Truly. I’m sorry for sleeping so long.”
“…?”
A flicker of awareness kindled in Rasifer’s eyes as he gazed up at me.
What followed was a clarity so sharp it was almost frightening.
Then, as though struck by something, Rasifer sprang to his feet.
“Shuya!”
“Have you been waiting long?”
I smiled broadly and stretched out my arms to embrace him tightly.
Someone suited to me, someone I desired.
The person I had chosen as mine.
‘My heart is still racing.’
I could feel his heart beating just as rapidly against mine.
“You have no one but me, Pel.”
“Yes.”
“But I… like you best too.”
At my sudden words, he blinked in confusion.
His expression was one of bewilderment, and I burst into laughter.
Ah, I love him like this.
To be specific—
“I love your ability to solve problems. I love how you take the lead and handle things responsibly.”
“….”
“I love how you see things through to the end, yet have the cunning to postpone what needn’t be done in order to protect Laximon. I love how you devotedly care for those who enter your heart.”
I tried to think of something I disliked, but there was nothing.
There were so many things I loved that it was difficult to name them all.
“I love your smile, Pel. I want to see you sleeping more often, up close.”
Had I ever expressed my heart like this before?
I had never spoken with such intent—to cross the line of friendship and face each other as lovers.
“I love your tenderness, your kindness.”
And I love the light you carry within you.
“If I think that you might share that tenderness with others… I don’t like that.”
Rasifer, who had seemed startled, soon curved his eyes into a beautiful smile.
Looking at him, I whispered shyly once more.
“I know you’ve protected me until now. From now on, I want to protect you too.”
Even if problems like this arise again as we live, it doesn’t matter.
Together, we can overcome them.
What had accumulated within me after all this time was unwavering trust in Rasifer.
“Even if I’m a few steps slower than you… will you wait for me?”
“Ah, Shuya. Of course. You don’t need to match my pace.”
“Yes. By the way, I really love this consideration of yours too.”
So what kind of relationship are we now?
I had repeated ‘like’ earnestly, but I had never precisely defined what kind of relationship this was.
But the problem was, I now had no idea what to do after this conversation.
‘Should I… ask him to date me? Or should I say, “Will you be in a relationship with me?”‘
I racked my brain earnestly, and Rasifer looked at me with a smile he could barely contain before naturally interlacing his fingers with mine.
Thump.
My heart thundered without reason.
“Superti.”
“Mm?”
“Will you be in a relationship with me? I’ll make you the happiest person in the world. I promise I’ll try my best.”
“That’s already enough.”
The sunset descended upon Rasifer’s hair.
That beautiful sight was like a landscape from which one could never escape.
Perhaps it was a precious moment that would be etched into my heart for a long time to come.
And so we finally became lovers.
It was a warm evening, as though the sunset itself had settled into my chest.
