Lalisa, who had been silent for a while, opened her mouth right after she turned her back and looked out the window.

"Do I deserve to worry about him?"

There was no life in the voice that came out. Her gaze was the same. Her dark blue eyes were still. But deep in her eyes, there was a heavy worry that could not be hidden.

She had been living the past two months as if a day was a year.

She couldn't stand this situation at first. She was worried about Jungkook, and at the same time blamed herself for putting him in danger.

Jungkook had said it would one day be like this with the Emperor, even if it wasn't for her.

The conflict between the imperial family and Jungkook, which has been going on for a long time, had already deepened, and would end only when one of the two sides collapsed.

Even so, Lalisa couldn't help but to blame herself.

It must be because of Jungkook's last appearance, which was engraved in her mind and never disappeared.

His overwhelming back with him pulling out his sword.

A calm voice that told her to be happy, and that it was also happiness for himself.

"... "

Lalisa held her breath while holding her hands tightly. It was difficult to breathe whenever she thought of him whom she saw for the last time.

Meanwhile, Jimin came closer to her.

"You don't have to hide it. Feelings or thoughts."

Jimin, who was about to reach out to Lalisa while whispering, stopped and put down his hand.

Jimin knew it well. In her life, Jungkook was an existence that would never disappear easily.

In her lost memory before, after, and now.

The man was always at the center of the complicated time she had been through.

Good times or bad times, her feelings for Jungkook always seemed heavy. Lalisa's feelings of guilt or pity were not going to disappear any time soon.

But Jimin believed that her feelings were never due to love.

After a little more time and the empire stabilizes, news comes that Jungkook is safe...... She will definitely turn back to her old self.

So Jimin was going to wait.

Until Jungkook finished it all. And until Lalisa put all her guilt down and was comfortable.

***

When spring finally arrived, Lalisa heard the news she had been waiting for.

It was the news that the civil war of the Empire, which had been going on for half a year, had now come to an end.

[After the ensuing conflict, the Grand Duke finally won.]

Lalisa, who was not relieved even after reading the same passage over and over again, raised her head when she heard a chirping voice.

"Lalisa! What are you doing?"

When she came in, a small girl rushed to the table where Lalisa was sitting.

It was Rosemary who had been with her several months before.

"I want to read that too!"

Seeing Rosemary in her arms, Lalisa, who had a serious expression on her face, gradually relaxed.
