Chapter 264 – Epilogue 5. Sisters
A white-haired noble walks through the garden and greets the morning.
There is a child in her arms. She still spends more time asleep than with her eyes open, but even so, the little thing smiles and wiggles her body in the cool morning breeze.
Just like that, when she looks at her daughter’s face, she herself smiles. The two look at each other and smile. To the child, the whole world is happy and beautiful. There is no room for other unfortunate things, and only pure joy exists.
Of course, this is the story from her child’s perspective.
The noble mother gives her child a flawless smile and a gentle kiss, but she soon looks towards the front gate of her garden and looks worried.
She has small insecurities and worries that she cannot bear to tell her daughter.
“My aunt and father are very late. They said they would come right away when they wake up in the morning-“
However, I try hard to hide it.
I can’t bear to reveal my own ugly feelings.
I know that it is a suffering that eats away at her and everyone around her.
Therefore,
She sits down on her knees somewhere in the flower bed for a moment and picks up a small flower.
A flower that blooms particularly red,
Her younger brother called the flower Daril,
In her husband’s hometown, she is called Dahlia.
It’s a similar name.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence. Flowers that bloom in both worlds at the same time are so beautiful that they fill a corner with a nobleman’s garden.
“Would you like to take charge?”
Among them, the woman picks one particularly beautiful and richly bloomed flower bud and carefully places it near her daughter’s cheek.
Then the little child who smiled brightly,
She wrinkled her nose for a moment, then said,
She smiles brighter than before and laughs.
“It’s my mom’s favorite flower.”
With that smile,
Neva walks in the garden.
“What flower would suit our Neria? Shall we ask my aunt when she comes today?”
With small butterflies
In a garden full of timid bees,
The quiet wait of a woman who was an honorable noble and the greatest knight continues.
Then suddenly,
Neva hears familiar voices coming from beyond her front door.
The flowers raise their heads,
The sunlight clears away the clouds.
Jiying-
“No, why is it my fault? After all, you and Chichi were the ones who were late this morning…!”
“Then whose fault is it? It’s your fault! We’ve been banging all night long all week!”
“Why does that suddenly come up? You didn’t do it? You did it too! Then on the last day, I had to rush in and ask about magic and all, so I have to wait a little longer. Is this my fault? Is it your fault?”
“Do you think I’m the kind of person who looks after children? I don’t know if it’s just once or twice, but if the two of you make eye contact, is it right to suddenly give you a stroller and tell you to go out for a while?”
“So, except for the first two times, you used soundproofing magic! And what are you talking about, have you been watching the kid all day? Don’t try to make a point and just talk about this morning!”
“That’s also your fault! You didn’t give me time to talk to you, Master!”
“Then just say it when the three of you are together!”
“How dare you bring up magic then!”
… It’s a bit of a strange conversation. Neva sighs and carefully turns her back, wondering if her daughter will hear.
“Mom was the only one who was stupid to worry, right?”
Still,
Even to my daughter’s young eyes,
Her mother seemed to be smiling quite honestly.
Rather, she smiles more honestly and lightly than the smile she shows herself.
——————————-
Three people,
No, the four of us, including my daughter, immediately met at the main gate and walked through the garden together.
“No, sister… I was really planning to come early…”
“No. If you came in before lunch, you came in the morning.”
“You’re not angry, right? Huh?”
“It didn’t work out.”
In a place as noisy and vibrant as before,
Misfortune and tragedy could no longer remain.
“Just come when you want to. Because that’s what home is all about.”
Neva sometimes,
I used to be afraid, remembering things from the past,
“You can go out and see the world, and then come back when you miss your sister again or want to rest for a while.”
Now, I can trust my precious people like before.
“So, have you learned any good magic?”
“Huh? No. You didn’t tell me. I think you’re very busy. From now on, he won’t be able to tell you more about plant-related magic. I understand. Of course, other magic is more promising… Even at the academy, plant-related subjects are taught. Because they were all liberal arts classes…”
“Well, I don’t think that’s what you meant.”
Eva, who was scared and cried,
Even though she doesn’t realize it, she has become quite strong.
“Then what is it?”
“It means you have grown a lot now.”
“Me? I still don’t think I can make a single scratch if I compete with Master…?”
“That’s because he’s very outside the standard.”
So, it’s okay to open your mind a little more.
“I don’t think even I will be able to beat you in a few more years.”
“… No, I think my sister will still be 50 years older than me.”
“Actually, will he still lose to you in 70 years?”
You can put down a lot.
“No, I know. Eva, you are very strong.”
Faith makes relationships strong,
Love makes humans beautiful.
“Now you protect the three of us.”
“Ay, just tease in moderation!”
“Really.”
And sisters make each other survive.
The flower language of red dahlia is,
[Your love makes me happy.]
