—
The platinum ring, which tapered off towards the center, featured a small, pale lavender gem, elegant yet simple in its design.
“It’s an artifact capable of communication.”
As Reina examined the ring, which seemed to suit her so well, she looked up at him with wide eyes.
“Did you make this too, Ethan?”
“It’s for you. How could I entrust it to anyone else?”
“Wow…”
What can’t this man do?
Seeing her admiration, Ethan slipped the ring onto her finger and shared more information.
“Can you press the lavender gem for about twenty seconds for me?”
Following his instruction, the ring gradually faded until it seemed to disappear, though she could still feel something was on her finger.
“Huh? It’s gone!”
Amazed, she turned her hand over to inspect it while Ethan explained the hidden function.
“I added an invisibility spell, in case something like this happens again.”
Would kidnappers really leave Reina’s jewelry untouched? They would surely suspect it was a magical artifact and try to take it.
“Also, the pendant you gave me… Minister Grace took it.”
She spoke somewhat dejectedly, and Ethan, undisturbed, gently soothed her lips.
“I can just make another one for you.”
“But… I was quite fond of it.”
Ever since Ethan had remade it after it was destroyed at that fateful ball last time, that pendant had been with Reina from solving the plague to the recent visit to the Dwarven Principality.
“Do you want it back?”
“If possible. But now that I have this ring, I think I’ll be okay.”
As Reina forced a smile, trying to forget the item that had left her hand, Ethan gently kissed the back of her hand.
“Reina.”
“Yes, Ethan.”
“Thank you for coming to me, Reina. Because of you, I can finally see the world. In my black-and-white world, you were the only one who brought color.”
“Ethan…”
How does he always manage to say such beautiful things?
A prickling sensation rose in her throat, and Reina bit her lip. Then, she calmly conveyed her own sincere feelings.
“Thank you too, Ethan. For opening up to me… and for becoming my lover. I’m truly grateful that you stood by me during the times that I had wandered. Thank you for waiting for me.”
Without you, I would never have known this stability and love that you give me.
“Reina, will you allow me to stay by your side now and forever?”
“Please do so, Ethan.”
The two shared their sincere emotions freely and burst into smiles, sealing their mutual feelings with a kiss.
Living together when coming from different lives. Truly, nothing could be more difficult.
The lifestyle and behavior each had built were too strong. How could one easily change that?
The love they had for each other, yes. It was not easy to change one’s way of thinking just with love.
Yet, when they were together, life did not deteriorate but became more enriched, and a previously anxious and empty life was filled with fulfillment. Eventually, humans manage to do such difficult tasks.
Just like Reina and Ethan now.
“I love you to the extent that a life without you no longer exists.”
“I feel the same way. I love you, Ethan, with all my heart.”

“We apologize immensely, Your Excellency.”
With faces hung low in shame, the knights and maids listened as Grace spoke with a calm smile.
“So, she escaped, that brilliant child.”
The Goddess’s Compassion. How she managed to remove it without any special spell that no amount of brute force could untangle, one could never know.
But knowing the method now, what would it matter?
“I’ll need to strategize.”
From the ‘Thirteenth Ear’ implanted in her son, it was clear that Ethan was still searching for Reina.
“But if it’s that unpredictable child, soon my people will make contact.”
Grace rose calmly from her seat.
Her summer dress fluttered lightly. The knights, now sinners, fixed their gaze on the fluttering hem and clenched their fists.
Please.
They prayed that the punishment for their mistakes would end with them. They prayed to a god they no longer believed in.
So desperately, that their prayers, which seemed endless, soon stopped with a murmuring to themselves.
“Hmm. Is that the only way?”
“What way…”
As the leading knight cautiously inquired, Grace turned towards them.
The sleek curves of her body combined with the moonlight streaming through the window created an image as if a master artist had breathed his last into a masterpiece.
“Let’s see what more suitable method there is for that child.”
Who could refuse such a breath-like presence of a goddess? Those pitiful beings who fell into the swamp deceived by her radiant exterior, how could they possibly understand her grotesque nature?
“Yes. I need to cut off the child’s limbs. That seems best.”
Grace Leicester Bohr.
Purer than the snow falling in midwinter, clearer than a spring untouched by human hands.
Yes, Grace was purity itself.
That’s why she could not tolerate impurities.
Thus, she distinguished between the nine households and other households, between nobles and commoners.
“Isn’t it time that child realized the clear distinction given from the moment of birth?”
To ensure she no longer dreams vain dreams.
