I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess

28 – Boundary (6)

[Sirien Ilencia]

Even on rainy days, night came without fail.

The forest, which was already dark due to rain clouds, turned black.

It was a sight I was sick of seeing so often.

I hated the night in this forest.

I don’t want it to be sunny all the time, but I still didn’t want to spend the night in this forest.

It was better to stay in the cabin. Because back then we could do anything together.

I felt so lonely when Razen fell asleep and I was left alone. I felt like I was thrown into this world alone.

But Rajen just seemed to think I was afraid of the night.

‘Fool. ‘I’m not a kid.’

Anyway, today I decided to stand watch first.

It was because I fell asleep first during the day, so my mind was quite a mess.

‘It’s not necessarily the only reason.’

A little. Even though it was just a little bit, there was something that bothered me, so it was difficult for me to fall asleep.

For example, clothes that have been taken off. We couldn’t stand wearing damp clothes, so we hung them side by side on the wall, but we didn’t have any spare clothes.

Of course, we both ended up wearing only our underwear.

If I took off the blanket I was wrapped in, Rajen would see me naked.

That’s…… Just imagining it was incredibly embarrassing.

This is the first time I have exposed so much of my bare skin. Even now, I was anxious that I might not be able to see it.

I think it would be okay if I saw it, but for some reason, I didn’t want to show it to just Rajen.

Moreover, this blanket brought about problems anyway.

Originally, it was our unwritten rule that blankets were used by sleeping people.

But now, I was wearing the blanket, and Rajen was half naked.

Razen’s body was very visible due to the burning bonfire.

A body that is hard to believe that they are the same age.

The boy who always stands in front of me.

‘There are a lot of scars.’

I often saw it when they tied bandages, but I didn’t know it was to this extent.

The red wound was recently created. The wound, which is a little dull in color, must have appeared recently and is still healing.

Anything that was a little lighter than Rajen’s skin color was all scars.

A scar that will never be erased for life.

Now, wherever I look on my body, I see wounds and scars. There were so many that I was almost sick.

‘I’m sorry. These are probably all things you took on for me.’

I could barely resist the desire to caress the wound.

Instead, I slowly called out his name.

“Razen, are you asleep?”

“Not yet. I think I’ll fall asleep soon. Why?”

“I thought it would be uncomfortable to sleep like that. “Would you like to come here?”

The languid tone returned. I tapped the floor next to me and Rajen slowly approached me.

It seemed like it was a hassle to even stand up. I need to put him to sleep quickly.

I slowly pulled my legs out of the blanket. My white legs were visible.

Did you bring it up for no reason? No. This will be fine. Anyway, my eyes are closed now.

I lifted Rajen’s head slightly and placed it on my thigh.

Rajen slowly opened his eyes and met her gaze.

Sleepy blue eyes. She looked surprised and the corners of her mouth naturally went up.

Razen’s body temperature was always a little higher than mine.

So she felt hot or warm.

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

“Why? It’s comfortable and good like this. Go to sleep. “Shall I sing you a lullaby today?”

“What is a lullaby? It’s okay.”

If you asked me to call you, I really planned to call you.

It just pops up in a strange place. He’s the same age as me, but he thinks he’s the only adult.

“My legs must hurt.”

“It’s okay. “I’m doing it because I want to.”

“Wake me up if you’re tired.”

“Yes.”

Even though Razen was tickling, she didn’t get off my lap.

I’m glad she doesn’t hate me. If that happened, she might have been a little hurt. I mean, I also showed a lot of courage.

She quietly held her breath until Rajen fell asleep soundly.

As expected, I hate the night, but it’s not to the point where I can’t bear it.

I’m scared of the dark. Even the castle hated it. Whenever the light went out, I always had a nightmare.

When the wind blows, it feels like a ghost is wandering nearby, and when I hear footsteps, it feels like it’s going to run towards me at any moment.

To be honest, I still can’t see the corner of that cave. I know there’s nothing there, but it’s so dark it makes me feel uncomfortable.

But you need the night. During the day, you look stiff because you don’t relax.

It’s nice to see you sleeping so comfortably at night.

When I see you, even the scary nights are bearable.

‘Thank you always.’

How should I repay the favor to you?

If you think about it that way, it’s overwhelming. My heart feels tight.

As you know, I am no longer a precious young lady in the castle.

All I can do is give my knees like this sometimes.

You keep protecting me, but I can’t give anything back. I hate myself so much.

After taking away everything I received at birth, I guess I was a very small and insignificant child.

‘I should have learned magic at the castle. Otherwise, you can join any denomination. If so, wouldn’t it have been quite helpful to you now?’

When I thought about it again, I felt like I did a good job learning theology.

If that had been the case, Rajen wouldn’t have had so many scars on his body.

It would have been able to heal a sick body. The God of Light must have been good for that.

‘I wonder if I can use God so easily.’

In my memory, my father said that he must repay the loyalty of his vassals.

I think that was right.

Their loyalty is never taken for granted. It is a dedication that deserves to be paid.

I learned that the reason a driver risks his life for us is because he believes that we will repay him in return.

I took my father’s words to heart.

And Rajen was my only knight.

Although we had not yet been officially appointed, such ceremonies were not important at all.

Razen has already protected me several times. If Rajen is not a knight, no one can be my knight.

But I had nothing to give Rajen.

In a place like this, my name was useless, and there was no guarantee that things would change even if I left this forest.

So, I couldn’t make promises carelessly.

‘Because I might not be able to protect it. ‘I don’t want to lie to you.’

If you think about it calmly, there was no guarantee that things would go well even if you arrived at the Marquis of Eloran.

I just thought it was the most likely. There was nothing certain about anything.

Because in the end, that grandfather is also a stranger.

It was clear that if I didn’t do it right, they would abandon me without mercy.

Uncle. No, like Count Roxen, people are animals that betray others at any time.

Demons always start wars, and people abandon trust.

So I decided not to trust anyone anymore.

I have always been a quick learner. Having tried it once, you won’t make the same mistake twice.

The only exception is Rajen.

I will trust no one but you.

The hand that went out without thinking was towards Razen’s hair.

When I gently stroked it, its expression seemed to become more relaxed. I seemed to like it so I decided to continue.

Be gentle so as not to wake up. Very gently.

‘Her hair has gotten a lot longer too. Short strokes suit you better. Upset.’

It must be tickling if her hair gets in your eyes. While I was stroking it, I moved it to the side of my ear and cleaned it up.

I could see my forehead after a long time and it looked much better. Razen will probably never know. She knows that she looks pretty cute when she’s asleep like this.

Moreover, my driver had a rather handsome face. It’s enough to make you smile happily when you see it.

The people in the castle said Rajen looked so fierce, but she was only saying this because she didn’t know anything.

The reason I didn’t refute it was because I wanted them to remain foolish.

Idiots who don’t know even when there is treasure in front of them. Live your whole life without knowing. I will never tell you.

Razen was the greatest treasure I had.

And I do not boast of my treasures. Because others will covet it.

‘My article. The most precious thing in the world…… ‘My one and only knight.’

You are all I have. You did that.

So, if the day comes that I will give you something.

I will also give you everything I have. My life and the life you saved.

‘Ah, I guess I’m having a good dream. When I wake up, I have to ask what the dream was about.’

She waved her hand slightly in front of Rajen’s eyes.

My article did not receive any response. He seemed to be sound asleep.

What kind of thoughts were there?

When I came to my senses, I was kissing Rajen’s forehead.

Page.

The sound was louder than I expected.

‘Ugh! I did it for no reason. ‘I’m crazy.’

Even though our lips just touched, her face became hot for no reason.

My cheek was so hot that it didn’t go away even when I touched it.

If a stranger saw my face, they would probably…….

No. No. It would be a big deal if someone I didn’t know saw me like this.

I was so dizzy and embarrassed that I couldn’t raise my head.

Even though there was no one watching, I couldn’t bear it.

It felt like something was poking my back.

Tonight seemed like it would be particularly long.
