Theodore wandered into Yves’ consciousness with a stunned face.
There were so many versions of Yves in her unconscious mind.
And many of those Yves’ were the images of her that Theodore didn’t know.
Yves crying after losing her family overnight.
Yves staring blankly at the hair that was cut short.
Yves growing up abused in Ferdinand’s mansion.
Yves, who is watching his back after losing his memory and doing crazy things from the same spot…….
Theodore couldn’t bear to approach them and looked at them in bewilderment.
Sniff. Hick
A faint cry was heard.
A very small girl was crying as she buried her head on her knees.
Theodore recognized the child at once.
She looked so similar to Odelia that it was hard to tell them apart, but Theodore could tell it was Yvone, not Odelia.
Little Yves was crying in a very sad way.
Theodore’s throat, staring at the figure quietly, shook painfully.
He wanted to soothe her.
He wanted to ask why she was crying.
However, what he learned a little while ago made him aware of the fact that he was the one who made her cry. So he did not dare to wipe her tears and hesitated to approach her.
He doesn’t deserve it.
So he just has to pass by.
Like he just did to all those Yves…….
“Yves……”
But he eventually sat on one knee in front of the crying little girl.
Startled, she looked up.
Then she stared at him.
“…….”
Theodor clenched his fist silently.
Yves in Theodore’s memory was always a bright and brave woman.
Even when she was very young when she first encountered him in the backyard of the Imperial Palace.
Even when they met again in Ferdinand’s mansion.
Even when they made love together at the Imperial Palace.
And even now that she hates him.
He loved all those bright and lovely sides of her.
He didn’t recognize her crying so weakly, sadly, and without him knowing.
It wasn’t until he stepped on her unconscious mind that he realised her wounds.
Such ignorance of itself was so terrible.
“Why are you crying……?”
Even when he said that short word, his throat stung.
“My mom abandoned me to a strange man. He’s my dad. But my dad hates me.”
“……I don’t think so. He can’t hate you.”
“Why?”
“Because you are…… so pretty and lovely.”
“Lie. My dad gets angry when I try to talk to him and doesn’t accept my greeting.”
“That’s because your dad is stupid.”
Yves stared at him at the remark, and said with a cold face.
“But you will do it too, Theo.”
“…….”
“You will abandon me like my mother and hate me and hurt me like my father.”
“No, I won’t…….”
Yves disappeared in an instant.
Theodore sat down where she disappeared.
He raised my right hand and rubbed his face roughly.
It was painful.
He would rather… … hope that she would beat and swear at him, as she did in her consciousness.
But Yves here didn’t even do that.
Yeah, that’s what Yves was supposed to do.
But even though he hurt her so much, she left him with such a sweet letter.
If he were Yves…… Could he have done that?
What the hell did he do to her?
Theodore fell to the ground and began to sob.
But he couldn’t bear to cry.
What are you crying for? Do you think you deserve to cry?
She said.
He doesn’t deserve to cry.
Theodor clenched his teeth not to cry.
“Ugh…Ugh…hah…hmm…”
His throat hurt as if it was being torn apart because he constantly swallowed the tears with the saliva coming up to his throat.
“Hah…”
Theodore, who was panting silently in the same place, felt his vision gradually distorting.
A moment of dizziness hit him.
He thought he just blinked once but.
“Huh…??”
He heard a cute voice.
* * *
“Trash Azo?”
“It’s T-trash Azo!”
It was the voice of Erwin and Odelia.
Surprise!
Theodore looked up.
Two lovely children, resembling Yves, were standing in front of Theodore.
“Ah…… here…….”
Theodore looked around with hazy eyes.
Colourful curtains and two beds with cute dolls hanging around.
It was like a children’s room.
“Lia did it! Lia used the magic pattern!”
Odelia clapped her hands and rejoiced.
Theodore’s eyes grew a little at the word.
“Magic pattern? Did you undo it yourself?”
“Woong! Lia is a great magician!”
“……that’s great.”
Theodore was genuinely surprised and amazed.
Odelia was only three years old.
It was great just to use the black magic, but to undo it on her own.
“Ugh…”
There was a groan of distress below him.
When he lowered my head, he saw Benjamin was underneath him.
His condition seemed very bad even at a glance.
This is because Theodore beat him.
“I also brought Benjamin Samjon.”
“Don’t talk to him, Lia. He’s bad and we should scold Samjon.”
“Did Mr. Azo kill Samjon?”
“Still alive.”
Theodore rose from Benjamin’s stomach.
“But will be dead soon.”
A group of golden lights rose from his fingertips and turned into a rope before binding Benjamin.
“Wow, Mr. Azo, what are you doing?”
“Trash Azo, your hands are shining!”
Erwin and Odelia looked at Theodore and Benjamin alternately in wonder.
“More importantly…”
Theodore walked to the window and opened the curtains.
Then, he saw a dark sky.
It was like what he saw just before entering Yves’ consciousness.
No, things looked a little worse.
“What happened…….”
It was when he gritted his teeth and muttered.
“Mr. Azo, Mr. Azo, Mr. Trash Azo.”
“Are you curious where Mommy is?”
Erwin and Odelia clung to him and pulled at the hem of his clothes.
“Where is Yves?”
“Mommy went to the Royal Palace with Brian Samjon. They say there are demons in the palace.”
“Demons?”
“Woong! Demons!”
“Mommy went because she’s the witch who catches the demon!”
“Mommy is the most wonderful witch in the world!”
The children spoke with great pride about the fact.
“……Yves is not a witch.”
“What?”
“What are you saying Mr. Azo? Mommy is very cool, isn’t she?”
“It’s not like that…….”
Erwin gave Theodore a fierce look.
Theodore didn’t know how to react, so he looked embarrassed.
“Did Mr. Azo said bad things about my Mom?”
Odelia glared at Theodore with as hideous eyes as Erwin.
“No way. I wouldn’t say anything bad about Yves.”
“But Mommy kills demons.”
“Yves, rather than a witch…….”
In the intense gaze of the children, Theodore carefully lifted his lips.
“Princess, Queen…….”
“Princess?”
“Queen?”
Erwin and Odelia’s eyes grew round.
“Like an angel, or a goddess…….”
“It’s so cool!
“Mom! My Mommy is a Queen!”
Soon the two children smiled broadly, coloring their cheeks red.
“Is the Princess more powerful than the Queen?”
“Well, Er. Your Mom was a Princess first then became a Queen.”
“Wow! If Mommy is a Queen, then Er is a prince, and Lia a princess?”
“Oh, no, Lia is a dragon warrior! Lia is a squirrel and a dragon.”
“Oh, by the way, Trash Azo.”
Only Jericho, who was listening to the conversation silently in the corner, kicked his tongue with a hopeless look.
‘Oh, my God…. What kind of stupid expression would people have if they heard it a thousand years ago.….’
A Princess and then a Queen…….
The story fell far short of his standard for creating the story of Jericho, the great squirrel warrior.
“So, our goddess is in the palace?”
“Woong! Mom went with the knights.”
“Mom went to catch the demons.”
“I see.”
Theodore nodded quietly and turned toward the door.
“Trash Azo, where are you going?”
“I’m going to save your mother, my goddess.”
“Mr. Azo will save Mom?”
The children looked at Theodore with a look of disbelief.
This is because Theodore, which the children have seen, looked weak like a lamb in front of their mother.
“I think Azo is going to be squashed like a bean by the demons…….”
“I saw you crying when Mom said, ‘Go away, Trash!'”….”
Erwin and Odelia looked up and down at Theodore as if they were commenting on some goods.
“……Right. I’ll go to my goddess and try to help her.”
Theodore quickly changed his words.
However, doubts about him did not go away.
“Ummm…… I don’t believe in Azo.”
“Woong, Mr. Azo is too weak to do it.”
“Er should go with Azo and protect him.”
“Lia should also go with Azo and protect him.”
Theodore paused and looked perplexed.
“What?”
“Take Er and Lia, too.”
“No, it’s dangerous.”
“Lia will protect you, Mr. Azo. Okay?”
Odelia blinked her big eyes and flapped her eyelashes gently.
“Er will heal Azo when he’s hurt, okay?”
Erwin hung on Theodore’s arm and rubbed his head.
“Ugh……”
The two kids were so cute, but…….
“But I can’t take you.”
Theodore shook his head firmly.
He left the room, leaving behind two children who had their cheeks puffed like a pufferfish at him.

just a recommendation but the “Woong!” part i believe is rather “Eung!” (응!)… like a kid’s way of respond as “yes”
