Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 74

Episode 74

Saya walked in the dark.

I felt like I was walking through a world buried in shadows, filled with darkness over and over again.

The darkness sucked her in like mud. Saya was slowly sinking into an abyss that no one could remember.

The shadows that clung to my skin began to eat away at my entire body. It was a bug called regret and guilt.

The darkness that encroached everywhere was her regret.

I learned love before I knew consideration. I was so young that I didn’t know how to understand the other person.

I ended up breaking my lover’s heart.

If I go back to the past, I will do the same thing. I remembered something I once said to Aiden.

Not anymore. I really wanted to tell you that, but I just cried like an idiot during the time allowed.

Aiden’s words were so happy and heartbreaking that Saya couldn’t stop talking.

‘love. And thank you.’

I thought I would never hear it again. Because I didn’t even expect it, it penetrated my heart even more passionately.

It was still ringing in my ears.

It was the only warmth that embraced her in this cold, lonely place.

Saya felt that she was truly treacherous.

I thought that one word would be enough, but I wanted to hear it again and see it even more.

However, it would be impossible.

If you want someone to come and rescue you like you did when you were trapped in the womb, that would be greed.

Saya decided to let go of her regrets in the darkness.

I just pondered the memories and accepted the last moment.

I remembered the day I first saw the world with my own two eyes.

There was Iden.

The fox cub’s home became his bosom for a while.

A man as weak as a microorganism. Saya watched Aiden like that. It looked like a creature that lived only to die.

Iden, who was protecting whom, held her like a jewel and struggled tirelessly.

The fox returned the favor and tried to leave, but he was strange and unique, so he stayed by his side for a while.

The man always broke down. Each time, I stood up again and whipped myself.

This made the other creatures laugh, but Aiden did not. It was always stiff.

Why do they act like that? The fox couldn’t understand. She almost mistakenly thought that Aiden’s reason for existing was to make others laugh.

One day, Saya suddenly wanted to see Aiden’s smile.

As usual, when he was lost in thought, the fox licked the back of his hand.

There was no reaction. I got curious and tried many things.

No matter what he did, he just remained calm.

One day was a little different.

There were scribbles that Iden would occasionally scribble on the floor with a twig.

Two small creatures. It was a man and a woman.

Because his drawing skills were poor, Saya used her imagination to draw a little more specifically.

That was the first time I saw Aiden’s smiling face.

Saya realized a sense of accomplishment that day. And for some reason, I felt joy.

I wanted to make the light lines darker.

We hummed unusual songs together, learned unfamiliar words, and did some tricks.

Even though Aiden stopped doing such things, he smiled at Saya.

She achieved her goal. I thought she would get sick of it, but at some point she started to feel happy spending time with Aiden.

I liked his touch.

When a rough hand brushed her pure white fur, she melted into tranquility.

From the moment I allowed my tail, I found myself snuggling into his arms and acting foolishly.

I thought it was just a moment of entertainment. With small creatures that have a short lifespan.

One day even that thought changed.

Iden hugged a woman. peasant woman. He was the person who introduced Saya to the feeling of jealousy.

I also realized that having a human appearance is advantageous.

When the hydration was lifted, the completed beauty was reflected in the mirror.

From then on, the two exchanged feelings. The fox grew very quickly, so age was not a problem.

In fact, at some point, I was ahead of Iden in almost every way.

Because she was a creature with divine status.

However, I wanted to be infinitely weak in front of Aiden.

Iden wanted that too and asked for it.

There was a moment when I couldn’t keep my promise for just one day.

It was the day Saya realized her anger.

‘An apprentice knight flirts with an animal. From the looks of it, they are definitely not slaves. Report to the church and receive compensation.’

These were words that Iden also heard.

His expression sank sadly. I felt betrayed. Because the life saved by Aiden said those words.

How did you make this face smile… Saya’s reason was suddenly cut off.

There was blood on my hands. Once I started, I couldn’t stop.

Thousands of seeds that will destroy your happy daily life. Saya began to root out everything.

To her, nothing in this world mattered except Iden and herself.

Suddenly, I saw Aiden’s expression. I was more desperate than ever.

However, Saya was confident that she would make him laugh again. I was also confident that I would be able to return to my daily life and make him happy.

It was an illusion.

After that day, Aiden returned to his old self. No, it sank much colder than that.

Iden, who had been smiling at her, was nowhere to be found.

Saya reflected on her foolishness.

Now that I am immersed in darkness, if there is only one regret left, it would be the desire to see Aiden’s smile.

Saya sat down in the darkness.

A low melody came out of her mouth. A song I sometimes sang with Iden. The fox waited for the end, absorbed in old memories.

Eventually, darkness swallowed her up.

A teardrop fell. The darkness began to stir like ripples spreading across a lake.

The shade becomes lighter. The sight of a dark shadow sparingly spitting out her son-in-law was not unfamiliar to her.

I saw this same phenomenon even when it was sealed in its mother’s stomach.

And just like now, the darkness cleared.

There was Iden.

It was the same this time too.

The lakeside under the moonlight. Iden was looking down at her among the stars in the night sky.

Tears welled up in Saya’s green stability.

If it was a dream like this, I could have slept for the rest of my life.

She brought her hand to Aiden’s face and slowly opened her mouth.

“······I won’t do that anymore. love you.”

Then, they gently pressed their lips together.

At that moment, Siron was taken aback and Uriel’s expression became one of astonishment.

Aiden immediately opened his mouth and spoke quickly.

“Send the coffins to the sanctuary. Treat it as top secret. “Saint, I will explain later.”

Immediately after, he climbed off the ground. I jumped over the wide lakeshore and moved to the other side.

We landed on a waterside overgrown with long reeds.

Saya stared at Aiden with a frozen face.

The wind passing by, the smell of his flesh, the sound of his breathing, the beat of his heart. Because it was too vivid to be a dream.

“······Iden?”

Aiden hugged her without saying a word.

“Never think about death again.”

It felt like someone had slapped me on the back of the head. Only then did the whole scene come into view.

Saya’s limp tail stood up stiffly.

Iden gently stroked her tail.

“Thank you for coming back.”

The snow-white tail began to become soft little by little.

Saya gradually snuggled into Aiden’s arms. The joy and sorrow that filled her heart made her sob.

Iden brushed her hair like she used to.

The abundant silver hair was very soft and filled my hands with satisfaction.

Aiden loved this feeling. He played with his ears and stroked his tail.

It was a pleasure that only Aiden could enjoy.

Saya’s tail swayed gently as if fluttering in the wind.

She looked up from Aiden’s arms.

There was a faintness flowing through her beauty that did not fade even though it was drenched in tears.

The eyes that looked at Aiden longed for something.

He wanted it too, and without worrying about who went first, they pressed their lips together at the same time.

A piece of bright red flesh knocked on someone’s entrance. It opened gently and I mixed myself with my lover who came to meet me.

They indulged each other and became entangled. Aiden hugged her waist tightly. My alter ego was shaking, but I managed to hold onto my senses.

The petals also had dew on them.

Saya gently pushed Aiden down. The two lay on top of each other in the reed field and looked at each other.

Saya asked cautiously.

“······no?”

Aiden also had a really hard time. But not for the time being, especially not here.

“wait a moment. not much left.”

She lowered her ears slightly with a downcast look on her face.

It was cute, so Aiden caressed her cheek.

Saya clearly felt love from that touch. The moment I had only dreamed of had already become a reality.

There were many things I wanted to ask, including the reason for being revived, but that wouldn’t be right now.

I just wanted to enjoy reconciliation.

Saya wiped away her tears and stared at Aiden. Then he drew a captivating smile.

“But I want to hear Aiden again.”

“love.”

Iden was a man who had no regrets. If I go, it goes, and if I don’t, it stops, so as long as I decided to go, I went straight.

Actually, I was embarrassed, but I didn’t show it.

Saya approached Aiden’s ear, her skin turning red.

“I love you too, more than anything in the world.”

My breath tickled my ears.

Aiden said, stroking her hair.

“Saya, I have a favor to ask you.”

She answered, burying her face in Aiden’s neck.

“Tell me anything. “I will do everything.”

“Do you know the owner of the Giant’s Forest?”

“Yes, I’ve met him before. “It’s the spirit of the World Tree.”

I thought maybe we had met. Saya, who resided in the eastern forest for a while, was enough to stimulate the curiosity of the spirit Elquidora.

Anyway, if Saya knows this guy, the conversation goes faster.

“As you know, the Giant Forest sucks and swallows all the surrounding energy. “My sanctuary is being built within its boundaries.”

Saya lifted her face and looked at Aiden. He smiled as if he understood.

“What should I do?”

“You must never kill. “Can you just make a space for me to meet him?”

The spirit Elquidora was a being that never came face to face with humans.

However, since Iden needed someone, it would be perfect if someone could connect him.

She smiled and nodded as if it were easy.

“We will definitely meet. But I guess it’s because of the sanctuary?”

If sanctuary was the problem, I would have just asked them to kill me.

Iden planned to steal the magic spirit and supply it to the sanctuary. It was entirely possible if you used Elquidora.

Iden opened his mouth.

“no. So don’t ever kill them.”

Saya answered, puffing out her cheeks slightly.

“Trust me. “You will listen well now.”

Then he smiled again.

“Brush it for me.”

She brought her wagging tail in front of Aiden’s nose.

Aiden smiled slightly and raised his upper body.

After sitting her on his lap, he combed her pure white fur with the tail comb he had given her.

Saya enjoyed the peace as she looked at Aiden’s smiling face.

Meanwhile, there was a rustle. Aiden and Saya turned their heads toward the sound they heard.

A man standing with a very disapproving expression. It was Fenrir who had unlocked sign language.

He crossed his arms and looked at Aiden.

Before the disgruntled wolf could open his mouth, Iden spoke first.

“I told you not to show yourself.”

Iden glanced across the lake and continued again.

“Just come here. I have something for you too.”

For Iden, the role of the wolf was also very important.

Fenrir found Iden’s commanding tone very annoying, but he only looked into Saya’s eyes and chewed his lips.

I took a step closer with the intention of listening to the conversation.
