10 – Footsteps of Spring

In my heart, I cut off the ties with the family that didn’t feel like family, and a day passed.

The garbage quietly disappeared somewhere, and the servants looked at me. They are not very important, so I ignore them and swing my sword.

Even though I’m swinging my favorite sword, I feel strange. Originally, it would have been fun and refreshing. I don’t feel that way today, and I feel low and empty.

I didn’t like that feeling, so I stopped the sword and retracted it. Then he goes up to his mother’s room and sits there blankly.

I know this is a waste of time, but I don’t feel motivated to do anything.

Just when you’re wasting time like that, you hear a knock.

“Come in.”

The door opens, and a young maid comes into view.

“What did you come for?”

“I’m here to deliver Daisy’s stuff.”

The maid brings out her mother’s name and holds out a small box to me. I take the small box with trembling hands and open it. Inside the box were a handkerchief with mother’s embroidery and a thin book. Seeing it makes my heart tremble.

“Do you want anything?”

“I got what I wanted from Daisy.”

The maid said so and left the room. I looked at the place where the maid had been for a while, then opened my mother’s book.

“I got married to him today, and I became Daisy Norman instead of Daisy Blanche. Everything was unfamiliar, but I was happy because I was living with the one I loved.

Feeling the warmth of each other with him that his busy work was over, we had a happy time taking frequent walks. At night, I try to talk to him while stroking his belly, and sometimes he sings a lullaby, and sometimes the child moves and responds. The signal was so lovely that I laughed out loud.

Because of the growing belly of children, they hardly move, and they live a sedentary or lying down life.

Along with the dizzying pain in the boat, water burst out from below, and the surroundings became noisy.

I thought I would die, but I endured it with my teeth thinking about my children. At the end, the children came to me. Looking at the two small children’s faces, I was relieved, relaxed, and fell asleep as if fainting.
