Maevia emphasized again.
“Really! Really!”
“Can I trust you?”
s
“Of course! So stop crying, Aedis.”
Because she was thinking very simply, Maevia accepted Aedis exactly as she saw him.
Aedis pressed his trembling lips together and waited for the leisurely time to pass.
If he forced himself to use a large amount of power, he could have brought Maevia back to her senses right away, but he didn’t want to do that at all.
Maevia raising her eyebrows and then smiling at him just felt lovable.
Aedis continued to tease her, even as he thought that if Maevia remembered this she might be angry.
“Remember when I asked for a divorce, you said to compose an acrostic poem with my name? I’ll ask that, too.”
s
“Name? Acrostic?”
Maevia blinked. She muttered grimly as he explained to her what he had heard from her before.
“Aedis’ ideal type is the complete opposite of mine.”
“…….”
“Expect it to be disgustingly ugly …….”
“Kuhk!”
It was childish revenge spat out casually.
s
As Maevia gave Aedis a bitter look, she seemed as if she wanted to cry.
“Suddenly, I’m going to hate you.”
“Already? Of course, I’m happy, but I’m also a little sad.”
“…….”
The star dust, as soft as sand finely baked in the sun, patted Aedis’ cheek in reprimand.
Aedis asked again.
“Eve, there is a cut on your shoulder.”
s
To the same question as before, Maevia answered differently.
“I think I stabbed myself with something sharp. Maybe.”
“…….”
“But it didn’t poke very deep.”
Maevia wrinkled her nose a little.
He encouraged her in a sweet voice.
“You are doing well.”
s
“Aedis, why am I doing this?”
Aedis reminded her of the decision she had made.
“Because it’s an ability you didn’t want, you don’t even want to show off what you received. But relaxing it a little would be fine.”
As he added a brief personal opinion, Maevia’s mouth closed.
…… He couldn’t help but feel sorry.
“Allow that power to look into your memories and how you have lived. Then you will naturally learn what to watch out for.”
“…….”
s
“I am part of the wife now, so please don’t hate me too much.”
“…….”
As Maevia spread her hand, the light rushed in.
It was a terrible power handed over by the beast who wished Aedis’ death.
It was the alluring power that Kadan aspired to. It was a dangerous power that could turn things beyond the horizon into ashes instantly.
So even though it was Maevia’s, she couldn’t fully accept it and hit a wall.
Suddenly, the light that restrained Aedis disappeared.
s
“It sounds funny, but this power seems to be alive. But the beast said nothing.”
“…….”
“Is it possible that its ego came into being because I rejected it?”
“Maybe.”
He replied as if it were no big deal.
It was purely because Maevia was anxious.
Whether or not there had been such a case so far, what did it matter if it was not related to Maevia?
s
The light that had covered Maevia’s eyes with radiance was beginning to fade little by little.
“But honestly, ‘I’m scared. What if I blow up Cyclamen castle because Shaula is bothering me?”
The clearer voice demanded an answer from Aedis.
He replied, taking off his robe and wrapping it around Maevia’s shoulders.
“I will rebuild it.”
“What if Regen likes Sir Procyon more than me, so I turn Procyon’s favorite sled into powder out of jealousy?”
“I will help you destroy the evidence.”
s
Maivia’s expression turned strange when he said he would rebuild the blown up castle but not the sleigh.
“Well, whatever. And if I hurt you too…….”
“Do you want to try it?”
Maevia furrowed her eyebrows.
“How?”
“I’m going to eat the wife from now on, so please hurt me moderately and get out.”
“What?!”
s
There was no time to protest against the request she never wanted to comply with.
Suddenly, Maevia’s feet went numb.
Aedis landed in the empty burrow a step ahead of her and lightly hugged the falling Maevia.
It was a space so dark and deep that even the boundary between heaven and earth could not be distinguished, but Maevia grasped it at once.
“Is this the other side of the shadow you were talking about?”
“Yes. It is as you remember.”
Aedis dropped Maevia.
It was pitch black darkness. But in Maivia’s eyes, the essence of this place that Aedis called beyond her shadow was unfiltered.
It was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish even an inch in front of her, but it was not cold.
s
It was gloomy like a graveyard, but when she quietly surrendered her body, she felt calm.
In the end, it was just a shadow, so it had to be the same.
However, it was usually different.
“…… You know what? Even if I hadn’t taken this annoying power into my body, I would have known how important this place is to you.”
“The power of love is great…….”
“I’m being serious?!”
A huge hand of light rose and fell from the darkness like a fluttering curtain around her.
Aedis calculated in his mind that Maevia would hit him with that.
…… As long as there was no natural disaster, it seemed it would be unconditionally right.
“Aedis, you need to be scolded by me.”
“It’s an honor, though.”
Saying that, Aedis backed away from her.
Maevia’s face hardened coldly.
“Were you thinking of putting Kadan in a place like this? Do you really want to die?”
“…….”
“This is just your soul! Not enough to be a soul that is filled in the body, but to settle in the shadows! If Kadan turns this place into a mess, you wouldn’t be safe either!”
Aedis was different from Kadan. He had no broken parts anywhere.
―The hand holding you, the eyes looking at you. At least this voice may not be mine.
The words Aedis had once said passed through her mind, but in Maevia’s eyes, Aedis was perfect.
There was no trace of Kadan’s experiments. He hadn’t increased his lifespan by overdoing it like Kadan, and he didn’t have any other problems.
But Maevia couldn’t be more relieved that Aedis was safe after being alive for so long.
If Aedis had finally rejected the beast’s power and put Kadan in this space as originally planned, Aedis would have been destroyed even if Kadan was no longer tyrannical. However, since it was not a problem with the body, it would not have been cured.
Aedis’ lips parted as Maevia made a weepy face in her upset heart.
“A little sacrifice…….”
“A little?! I don’t want even a scratch on you!”
Large and small lights sprouted from Maevia’s hand.
The lights flew like fireflies and created ten more of the gigantic hands.
It was more unrestrained than when she crushed and squeezed Kadan.
Maevia warned.
“Do not allow anyone to enter. The name may be the other side of the shadows, this place is like the inside of your soul.”
“If you hit me right now, it won’t end with scratches.”
Seeing Maevia’s face, Aedis quickly changed his phrasing.
“You can’t just let me in like this!”
“I don’t want to do that.”
Then the light-made hands opened and closed fists menacingly.
“Aedis, bow your head. Give me a pinch.”
Aedis laughed at the clear voice as usual.
“Eve.”
“Why.”
Maevia reacted fiercely in dissatisfaction and inspected each thing in the calm darkness.
It was so huge that she wondered if it would be possible for one person’s soul to swallow the world in one bite.
He was a great husband. Compared to the past, when she vaguely thought of him as the strongest in the world, he felt more brutal now she had seen the essence.
Perhaps, Maevia thought, even if he fulfilled his dream of dying and was reborn, he would still be as strong as he is now.
After all, only the body is different, but the soul is the same.
“Can I ask what you are thinking?”
“I thought it might be difficult to get away from you even if I reincarnated.”
Aedis chuckled.
“So, will you marry me when you return to the castle?”
“…… huh?”
Maevia turned her head.
“We skipped the wedding.”
“It was, right?”
“So let’s do it. A very fancy one.”
Maevia was about to agree but hesitated after hearing the words.
“…… How big are you going to make it when the word ‘fancy’ comes out of your mouth?”
“Well.”
Aedis smiled with his eyes. Maevia checked the darkness and her own current state then groaned briefly.
“I like it, too, but I don’t know if I can remember this conversation.”
“…….”
“Kadan said I couldn’t handle this power at all, is that why? I’m a little dizzy.”
“Ignore the barking of a dog that has already passed away.”
Maevia laughed out loud, as his comment only showed a desire to monopolize his wife’s attention, let alone any unabated vengeance.
“You’re all perfect, but do you know that you care so much about me that you got yourself in trouble?”
“Because I love you.”
“…….”
“Eve, I hope you are always happy.”
“…….”
“I will always be by your side.”
Maevia eventually surrendered to the sound of the voice that made her relax.
“I’m really……umm, relieved. I mean it sincerely.”
