56 – Strange room and strange woman

Unremembered dreams dissipated, and a hazy vision unfolded. In my hazy vision, I came into an unfamiliar room with a blue light.

I wondered if I hadn’t woken up from that sight, so I closed and opened my eyes several times, but the unfamiliar scenery didn’t dissipate.

“what…”

A voice thicker than I remember came out of my mouth. I am confused by the voice and the unfamiliar landscape unfolding before my eyes.

In the confusion, I looked at my palms. A large hand with calluses worse than I remembered. That hand increased the confusion and erased the haze left by the dream.

When the haze disappeared, I felt a strange feeling all over my body. High vision and heavy body. And throbbing feeling all over the body.

Those foreign sensations surrounded me, and my head couldn’t accept this situation. The head that could not accept it denied reality.

“It’s a bit of a strange dream.”

Thinking about the current situation, I looked around.

A group of blue lights lighting up the room instead of lanterns. The dark blue bed I was lying on. Two black daggers lying beside the bed. And a mirror with a blue light came into my eyes.

In a room that creates a mysterious atmosphere because of the blue halo, the mirror caught my eye and I stepped in front of it.

When I stood in front of the blue-tinted mirror, I saw myself growing taller and taller.

At that sight, thoughts flooded my head and my head became complicated. The complicated head insisted that it was a dream in order to be comfortable, but the sharp pain felt from the cheek that had just been pinched denied it.

I was denied the idea of a dream, and though I worked hard, I couldn’t understand this situation.

In a situation where I couldn’t understand even a single bit with my lack of brain, anxiety began to come in. With that uneasiness, her eyes turned to the dagger next to the bed.

dagger. A weapon that was not used because it was not cool and did not go well with a knight. However, it was not a situation to discuss such things, so I took up two daggers.

The short handle part is annoying. Even so, I thought that the dagger was not unfamiliar. As those conflicting senses and thoughts were entangled, the sound of a door opening was heard. Along with that sound, a woman’s voice was heard.

“You are awake. Is there any pain anywhere? Or, do you have any strange feelings?”

A woman with beautiful hair that seemed to contain the sky approached me with words full of worries.

Looking at the unfamiliar woman, I felt an ominous feeling even though I was familiar with it.

“By the way, why are you holding Rachel’s dagger?”

Rachel. Even hearing it for the first time, the familiar name lingers in my head. As I pondered over that strange feeling, the expression of the woman in front of me darkened.

“Are you having a hard time talking?”

I shook my head and denied the woman’s words, and opened my mouth looking at the woman who seemed to know me.

“Do you know me?”

“…don’t you remember me?”

As she nodded her head in affirmation, the woman’s expression showed bitterness.

“Right. It must be the memory side.”

The woman muttered that and looked into my eyes.

“May I ask your age?”

I was puzzled by the woman’s meaningless question, but I opened my mouth because there was no reason not to answer.

“We have reached the 17th spring.”

“It’s a time I don’t know.”

The woman said lamentably.

“It will be the first meeting for you now, so I will greet you formally.”

Saying so, the woman raised her hand on her left breast and showed an aristocratic manner.

“I am Iris Brandt. I am your betrothed.”

At the woman’s words, my head was confused. Iris Brandt. The daughter of the greatest swordsman in the Empire, a woman born with a dazzling talent and endowed with a second name.

Why would such a great woman introduce herself as my fiancé? Are you kidding? To think so, her impression is too similar to the rumored girl.

When I was immersed in confusion thinking about that, the woman opened her mouth.

“To you, the current situation is confusing, and my words must be suspicious. But, I didn’t lie to you. And the stories I will tell you in the future are not lies. So listen a little longer.”

The sincerity in her eyes gave strength to her words. With strong words, I listened to her story in silence.

As her story continued, the confusion grew and swallowed me up.

“This is your life as I saw it.”

Her story, which added to the confusion, came to an end, and the stories filled my head.

Wedding. curse. return. test.

These are unbelievable stories.

Marrying the third son of a family without anything special and the heir of one of the leading families in the empire? It’s a story that even those who lie a lot won’t tell.

witch’s curse. How does the curse of the caster’s death pass down? It’s a story that doesn’t even come out in fairy tales.

return. The reason why people long for life is that they are obsessed with it because it is a one-time opportunity. How could I be given another chance?

test. Did I neglect my life because I loved the woman in front of me? nonsense. Although the woman in front of him is beautiful and admired, he doesn’t even feel that he is liked, let alone loved. I just feel an ominous feeling for no reason.

I think so, but the feeling of denying that thought bothers me. Hearing the name for the first time is familiar, not unfamiliar, and a familiarity is felt for a woman he is seeing for the first time.

As she was torn between the unbelievable story and the strange sensations, her mouth opened.

“You won’t believe it. If I were in your position, I would be. So I won’t ask you to believe it. But, give me a chance.”

I can feel the sincerity in her straight voice and unshakable eyes. However, an unknown ominousness kept piercing my heart, and that ominousness disturbed her weight.

In order to make up his mind in the confusion, he opened his mouth while holding the dagger tightly.

“Then, raise your sword. I will make up my mind with that.”

Her expression brightened.

“yes. There is no need for detailed discussions between warriors. I must have forgotten your essence.”

Saying that, the woman with a smile drew a sword from her waist. The sound of iron stretching with anticipation came.

“By the way, will you be okay with that sword? I haven’t seen you use a dagger.”

“It’s just for confirmation, so that’s fine.”

At those words, the woman nodded and straightened up. And the woman’s intention to concede the player was felt in the figure that did not move. I accepted it and swung an unfamiliar sword.

He drew two oblique lines and attacked the woman. The woman swung her sword lightly with an expressionless face. The woman drew a straight line with her sword, and a clear cry of iron spread.

When the sound reached my ears, the lines I had drawn disappeared and the woman’s sword reached the side of my face.

“This is my heart. Is it enough?”

The woman said that with straight eyes, but I don’t know the meaning of checking one’s heart with a sword. I just wanted to see the sword of the one I longed for. I used the opportunity to decide my future with one mind.

But no regrets. I couldn’t properly see the woman’s sword due to my lack, but I’m satisfied with seeing the beautiful lines that seemed to pass by in an instant. And there will be more opportunities to see them in the future, so you just have to properly see them then.

“Enough. Let me be fooled by that story for a moment.”

“Thank you for tricking me.”

She said as she reached out her hand. A smile crept across the woman’s face as she reached out. That smile is so beautiful that my heart beats. However, for some reason, the anxiety that pierced a corner of my heart only grew.

Ignoring the anxiety, I grabbed her hand as she reached out. A strangely nostalgic warmth spread through my hands.

“Please take care of me.”

“I really appreciate you.”

When my future was decided, I heard a strangely familiar voice outside the door.

“Sister, how are you brother?”

The voice dissipated, and a woman appeared at the door. Pointed ears and tanned skin. They indicated the woman’s race.

“Dark elves?”

The corrupted race made a strange expression and opened its mouth.

“Brother, you are awake. Why are you like that all of a sudden?”

The fallen race came to me saying that. Seeing the scene, she let go of her hand and took a stance with her dagger tightly gripped.

“Don’t come closer!”

Question crept across the fallen race’s face, and looked at the woman. Embarrassment and various emotions permeated the woman’s face.

“Alric lost his memory, and I didn’t tell you properly about you.”

“You lose your memory? What’s going on?”

“It must be because of what happened in the ordeal. Since the elder said so, it must be right.”

“That is a big deal.”

From the friendly appearance of the two, I was able to know the identity of the ominous feeling he felt towards the woman.

“They were both in one. i was stupid It’s just a moment, but to believe in a woman like this.”

My mouth is bitter at my immaturity in believing in a person who is in one relationship with a fallen race even for a moment.

“So, what are you going to do with me from now on? Do you intend to torture me and corrupt me like you? Or are you planning to use it as a sacrifice? Whatever happens, it won’t turn out the way you want.”

Embarrassment crept across the faces of the two monsters.

“Sister, where did you get that twisted reaction from?”

“Well. From the fact that your race is a Dark Elf?”

“What about our tribe? It’s shady, and strange rumors have spread around the world, but other than that, there’s no problem.”

“That is the problem.”

The woman who cheated on me sighed, looked at me and opened her mouth.

“For now, calm down. I will explain everything.”

“noisy! I do not listen to the corrupt.”

Darkness settled on the woman’s face.

“To be a corrupt person… It is not wrong to say that the sin is great.”

The woman muttered something incomprehensible. The fallen race patted the woman on the shoulder and whispered in a voice too small to be heard.

The whispers of the monsters came and went, and the ominous grew. As the ominous feeling weighed on me, the image of the corrupted race disappeared. Then, I felt a blunt impact on my neck and darkness came.
