chapter 44
44 – Epilogue (Complete)
“So the two lived happily ever after!”
“hehehe, Dad~ Is there any other story besides this?”
Xian was sitting on the soft lawn in the warm sunlight, and next to him was a blonde, dark-eyed girl reading a book on his lap.
The child called Xian Daddy, and he lovingly stroked the girl’s hair and gave her love.
“Um~ But if I tell you one more story, it will be too late now?”
“Chi-it! If that’s the case today, then I’ll skip class! I like studying, but I prefer being with my dad.”
“Really~? Who does our Ariel look like and has so many aegyo!!”
“Kyahahahaha!”
The child smiled happily and hugged me tightly, as if he was happy with my petting.
The soft, warm warmth unique to children. It was like a dream to think that this cute child was my child.
‘To think that what was a dream became a reality.’
It was a very strange feeling to see the dream I had in my prenatal dream come true.
But is it okay because I’m so happy right now?
“Dad, Dad~ Then stop talking about this, tell me about Dad!”
“Me, talk?”
“Yeah! My mom always told me! Meeting my dad was a miracle, and it was the most thrilling trip!”
“is it…”
It’s a bit of a high-level story to tell Ariel, but is it okay?
The arranged marriage that Aileen had and I, who was harassed and stained between them.
And in the end, he gave up his first love, Scarlett, and ended up with Eileen.
It was still a little too early for a three-year-old to tell that story.
“Ahahahaha…Let’s talk about that later, shall we have a snack?”
“Snack! B, I want a brownie, Dad!”
“Dad will make it for you today, so wait a little bit.”
“Wow~ Let’s go together! hehehehe.”
Looking at her laughter and actions, I was looking forward to her future because she resembles Eileen so closely.
‘Isn’t this girl suddenly marrying a man for convenience?’
Of course, if I don’t recommend it, how will they accept it if I suddenly do it?
“I’m not going?”
“Okay, let’s go. Shall we go and see mom while we go?”
“Yes! But… aren’t you busy right now?”
“No, what’s wrong with our lovely daughter saying she’s going?”
“Yeah~.”
Two people descend from a small hill and return to their families.
On the way to the main building, where Eileen will soon be, I found a wagon with a familiar crest painted on it.
“Dad! It’s a fancy pattern…what kind of pattern is that? A dragon?”
“Uh… why is that pattern?”
In this empire, only one person could ride on a dragon-drawn wagon.
“Ariel, let’s go inside.”
“yes.”
After discovering the wagon, we walked inside with a little quicker pace and saw familiar people.
black hair and red hair.
And even the blonde Eileen staring at it.
“Eileen?”
“Kuu, of course now.”
“It’s been a while Xian. Do you remember me?”
“Of course, Princess. And the person next to you…”
I couldn’t help but be surprised when a knight in silver armor turned around beside her.
A person I will never forget in my life.
“Sian…it’s been a while.”
The true identity of the knight smiling at me was Scarlett.
However, if there was a difference from before graduation, her eyes were blurry, and it was like looking into a black hole.
It’s been a while, so I felt a glance at me, and soon went to my side.
“Um… who are the older sisters?”
“Ah, Xian… it’s your daughter.”
I unconsciously sent Ariel behind me and glared at the two.
“draft…”
“Since we haven’t seen each other in a while, why don’t we talk about each other’s close friends?”
“Sian, we’ll talk for now, so leave Ariel to me.”
“okay.”
I don’t think it’s really dangerous, but I think it’s probably safer with her by my mother’s side than with me.
“So why did you come?”
“It’s been a while since we’ve been together… But can we start by asking how we’re doing?”
“That’s not the problem. In the first place, we were last…”
I spent the last minute hurting Scarlett by saying harsh things.
But what is this? She came and said she wanted to see me.
It’s natural that it’s so sudden that it’s rather suspicious.
“Haa… that’s it, huh, why did you come here?”
“10…5.”
“And why are you counting the numbers from earlier?”
I was nervous for no reason and brought the tea to my mouth.
“One.”
“No, that number…”
With the sleep pouring down in an instant, Xian’s body collapsed onto the sofa.
Scarlett, the only one who watched him, smiled and slowly took the seat next to him.
“Ha ha… I said. I will definitely have it.”
I make him lie down on the sofa and throw away his heavy armor.
He caressed his soft cheek and whispered through his faded eyes.
“I love you. I won’t care about means or methods anymore.”
Unlike the faded eyes, Scarlett’s hair was still red.
and after a few months
It was a secret, not a secret, that rumors had circulated about the princess’s guards having a child.
