Chapter 183: Side story 12. Amazing News

****

There was no strength in the hand on his shoulder, nor was his voice threatening. 

Nevertheless, Cassions face turned bright red.  One side of his heart was emotional for some reason at the touch of his brother who naturally held his shoulder,

Master!

Welcome back, Master! But what about Aranrosia?

Thats right! What about Aranrosia? She did come back with you, right?

Tamon raised his eyebrows as if exasperated at the sight of the twins urging him to tell them about Asha as if it was more urgent than their masters well-being.

Seeing Tamons eyes, the twins rolled their eyes and smiled as if they were sorry.

At that moment, the carriage door opened again, and her voice, which Tasha and Louie had been so desperately looking for, could be heard.

Tasha, Louie.

An infinitely sweet voice, like the gentle spring breeze that they had been waiting all winter long, touched the twins ears.

Ah, Asha!

You came back safely!

Like a feline that was lowering itself for hunting, Tasha and Louie flew towards Asha.

Cassion and Satin also mistakenly thought that they had seen the tears flowing from the twins eyes. However, their mouths were smiling brightly.

Stop.

The king of the jungle stopped the hunting of young beasts.

Tamon, who lightly blocked the twins, raised his hand with a solemn expression. The twins feet were twisted in the unprepared barrier.

Oh!

Hey!

The twins, whose feet stopped abruptly, lost their balance, and fell on their buttocks.

Asha, who was watching the scene, was startled, and she pushed Tamons arm, which was blocking her, and came forward.

Tamon.

Asha, who called his name reproachfully, hurriedly reached out to the twins.

Looking at Ashas bitter eyes, Tamon was startled and coughed.

He didnt expect the twins to fall in surprise either.

Shaking her head, Asha softly spoke to the twins.

Tasha, Louie. Is everyone okay?

Ah, yes, yes! Were all right, Asha!

Yes, thats right! Were good!

Tasha jumped up first, and as Louis fell back a bit, Cassion, who was standing behind her, grabbed her forearm and lifted her up.

Im sorry. Were we too excited? Hehe.

Im so glad that Asha is back

The twins looked into Tamons eyes and smiled.

Asha was happy to see the twins as well. She opened her arms and hugged the twins.

The reluctant twins hugged Asha tightly and buried their faces in her shoulders. Ashas shoulders were wet with tears that quickly filled up.

Ah, ah, I thought you werent coming!

No, I believed you would come back! Haaa! I missed you, Asha.

As if seeing a separated family again, Tamon burst out laughing as if it was too much.

At the sound, Tasha and Louie sniffled their noses as if embarrassed and wiped away tears, but Asha glared at Tamon again as if telling him not to do that.

Do not do that. Youre still not feeling well.

Since when did stinging become a specialty of Tamon Krasis? 

Maybe, since I met you?

Anyway

So, take it easy.

Tamon softly kissed Ashas temple, not complaining.

He sighed softly and rubbed his lips against Ashas earlobe and cheek, it was as if he was not conscious of his surroundings at all.

Those who watched the two noticed that the atmosphere had subtly changed from before they left.

Tamon wrapped his arms around Asha as if claiming his ownership, and Asha comfortably accepted Tamons transparent greed.

Now, really Have they become perfect lovers?

Unknowingly, Satin was filled with emotion and grabbed the handkerchief he was holding tightly.

It was the very thing Asha had given him before she left.

Satin took out his handkerchief early in the morning when he heard the news of Tamons return.

He wanted his master to come back with the person who had given him this handkerchief.

And seeing the two of them come back together in such a loving manner, tears welled up in Satins eyes.

Im too old.

As Satin grabbed the tip of his nostrils and struggled to suppress his tears, Tamon looked back at Satin and said:

Oh, and Satin. Calm down and call the doctor right away.

Yes? A doctor?

..Something must have happened to Master Tamon!

Just as Satin clenched his fists with concern, a word like a bomb hit Satins ear. 

Because Asha is not alone now. Asrell will tell you the details.

Ha!!

Everyone in the room held their breath at the same time as if they had become one.

not alone?

Oh, my God!

The twins screamed in surprise, and Cassions eyes and mouth opened in all directions, and the servants who were moving to carry the luggage stopped as they were in shock.

Ah, child Lord, the masters child.

But the most surprising thing was

Sa, Satin! Oh, Satin!

 Satin!

Satin, who had gone backwards, clutching his handkerchief.

Thud!

Too surprised, Satin fainted. What a tumultuous return of Tamon Krasis.

Beep!

Asha lifted her sleepy eyelids at the sound of an unfamiliar beast hovering in her ears. The splendid sight she had seen in her dream flickered before her, who was still hazy from sleep. The sea surface glistening in the sunlight, water droplets that bounced like jewels, and soft bubbles. And a huge and  beautiful fish swimming in it.

• fish?

Can I really call it a fish?

Asha slowly blinked her eyes, staring at the gigantic, beautiful creature still vividly before her eyes.

The tail was flexible, and the body was smooth. The round, black eyes were friendly and intelligent, and the mouth that opened wide like a smile was lovely.

Best of all, it was very cute in pink.

How do you have such a color?

It was a soft pink that matched the blue sky with white clouds. It was the color that reminded her of the milk mixed with strawberries she once ate.

Beep-!

Asha slowly closed her eyes and took in the pink water beast.

A cute creature that jumped vigorously in the blue sea and played around.

It hovered around Asha, who was floating on the sea, and showed its cuteness.

It came close to her, rubbed her cheek, and tickled her side with smooth fins. It was so cute that she didnt know how many times she had hugged the giant beast and kissed it.

It was such a pleasant dream. That was why she did not want to let go of the afterimage of her dream.

Just a few months ago, her dreams were filled with the energy of the dead.

Her friends with their necks ripped off, her bloodbathed family members, and herself floundering in a venomous swamp.

She sobbed and convulsed, and when she woke up, she couldnt sleep for fear of having another nightmare.

Then, at some point, the dream gradually faded away.

Asha knew it was from the time she started sleeping with Tamon.

That was, from the time she began to fall asleep wrapped in his warmth, rather than loneliness and fear.

Asha opened her eyes. She felt a tight arm holding her tightly close to his solid chest. She carefully turned her head to look at Tamon, who was exhaling an even breath. Asha quietly smiled.

Im glad. Tamon finally fell asleep today. 

Asha gently caressed Tamons forearm, who was holding her tight. His quality of sleep also deteriorated markedly as he started morning sickness on her behalf. He couldnt sleep deeply, and always checked her warmth like a nervous person.

Tammons overprotection had always been there, but the severity was getting worse and worse as the days went by. At times he looked distressed, and at other times he sighed as if rebuking himself. In fact, Asha had some idea why he was doing that.

Barely suppressing the desire to click her tongue, she stroked Tamons forearm again and again.

He must have known too much information.

The world was full of people who died while giving birth.

Even after pregnancy or childbirth, it was easy to get sick if not careful.

The little life in the womb was a blessing, but the mother had to risk her life to bring the child into the world.

Asha was well aware that Tamon was worried too much about her pregnancy.

He paid attention to her every move, and always tried to stick to her.

She also knew that he looked up numerous sources of pregnancy and childbirth.

She also knew that before leaving Monstein, Tamon had many conversations with the people who knew a good deal about pregnancy and childbirth.

He became overly anxious with too much information.

Could it be that the excessive knowledge entered at once became poison to Tamon?

It seemed that the poison had penetrated deep within him and touched his intense desire to take over all of her pain.

He was truly a sweet, foolish man.

No matter how many times she was reborn, how could she be loved more tenderly than this?

..Ah, Tamon. Tamon.

He was just sweet and fragrant to her, like the soft flesh of fruit that she finally had in her mouth after peeling off the rough, spiky shell.
