Chapter 28. So forget everything
The next day, as the sun slowly set, many people stood at the entrance of the monastery, ready to leave.
At the same time, the monastery’s workers were also present.
“Go carefully.”
“I wish you only good things in the future.”
At first, the servants from the aristocratic and imperial families and the workers at the monastery did not mix well like water and oil.
At some point, they were mingling and saying goodbye to each other.
And Tail, like them, was saying goodbye to Chloe and Cecilia.
“Go carefully. Both of you.”
At Tail’s words, Cecilia shed tears again.
Chloe also had watery eyes.
“Tail.”
Chloe, who was looking at Tails with sad eyes, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“Don’t forget me. Soon….”
Cecilia cut off Chloe’s words and shouted.
“Tail! You must never forget your promise… !”
Chloe slightly frowned at Cecilia’s words.
A promise?
Chloe asked urgently.
“A promise?”
“Huh…. The princess doesn’t have to know. Great.”
Cecilia answered by blowing her nose into her handkerchief, and Chloe bit her lips in irritation.
Could it be that she is similar to what he said to pick him up?
Chloe, who was upset, asked.
“Answer me. What promise?”
However, Cecilia was not easy.
“You don’t have to know.”
But Chloe did not back down.
“No. Why should I not know?”
“It’s not a promise I made with the princess.”
As the two bickered until the end, Tail burst into laughter.
“Stop fighting and get going. Others are waiting.”
Obviously, other servants or maids were waiting for the carriage.
The two of them slowly moved the steps that had never moved.
Really. It really was the last time.
Chloe and Cecilia got into the carriage.
Thump! Thud! Thud!
As the soldiers stomped their feet, the wagon slowly began to move.
Tayl looked endlessly at the people who were getting farther away.
I saw Cecilia and Chloe poking their heads out the window.
Tail waved at the two who were waving.
The long and short dream has now come to an end.
At that time, Noha approached from the side.
“Tail.”
Noha’s eyes were filled with worry.
He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth slowly.
“… Are you okay?”
Tale laughed.
“What else wouldn’t be okay?”
I looked at him with an angry look.
“In the end, I didn’t keep my distance from them.”
At Noha’s words, Tails was briefly silent.
The monastery workers who were seeing off the departing people were returning to their original positions one by one.
Amid the familiar people passing by, Tail opened his mouth.
“I wanted to make good memories here for these kids until the end.”
Tail fixed his gaze on the wagon that had now become a dot.
“The moment you come here. It must have been painful, and it may have been even more painful from the moment we left here.”
Tail calmly continued his words.
“Because nobility and royalty are like that.”
There will probably be many dangers and trials.
“A short time that can be taken as comfort in a long life. I just wanted to make one.”
I wanted to remind you of the memories of this place every time.
I can look back and say that I was happy at that time.
Because this was the best he could do for them.
“Even if it is just a dream.”
Cecilia, who comes to visit me every day and hug me now.
There is no Chloe who always follows me with a soft smile.
You will never see the two bickering.
Tale stared endlessly in the direction the carriage disappeared.
“So it was. There is no big reason.”
After saying that, Tail slowly turned around and walked towards the monastery.
“Then let’s go inside.”
Noha, who had been looking at such a tail, let out a short sigh.
Taylor muttered in a small, angry voice after entering the monastery building.
“I hope all of this doesn’t hurt you.”
* * *
In the morning that morning.
Chloe opened her eyes.
The ceiling of the familiar tent was visible.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and birds chirping outside.
It was a peaceful morning.
Looking back, the inside of the tent was empty.
Only a wardrobe, a bed, a full-length mirror and a dressing table remained.
It was only then that Chloe noticed.
‘Ah. It’s the day I go home today, so I took out all the furniture.’
Chloe slowly got out of bed.
Today.
Today has come.
‘Today is the last day here.’
Chloe walked slowly towards the closet.
The closet was lined with all sorts of clothes.
Chloe picked up a white dress with a familiar hand.
It was said that this one-piece dress, which was made of expensive fabric but fell plainly, looked best with a tail.
Immediately Chloe put on her clothes and looked in the mirror.
I was very worried when I first came here.
I was worried that the empire would lose, and I was worried that my father would get hurt.
The tail that came to her at that time became her one ray of light.
At first, she thought she was just a monk helping her sleep.
She just knew she would stop at that level of relationship.
However, the tail slowly soaked into her as if she was getting wet from her crotch.
Before she knew it, she, the princess herself, wanted the war to never end.
I wanted to be with Tail.
She wanted to be by his side every moment.
Chloe looked at herself in the mirror.
With the news of her victory ringing, she didn’t look happy at all, even though she should be happy.
She has nothing to worry about or be upset about because the empire has won, but she herself is very unhappy right now.
As her eyes slowly filled with water, Chloe bit her thumb nail.
‘No. If I cry now, everything will show.’
I’m holding back my tears.
Smart smart.
Someone knocked on the door.
“Princess. You must go now.”
She was her own maid.
Chloe calmed down again and went outside.
‘Let’s not cry.’
Because this is not the end.
‘Let’s not cry.’
Muttering incessantly.
***
However.
Chloe couldn’t keep her word.
Something jumped up inside the moment I saw Tail calmly dressed in monastic clothes.
‘Don’t cry.’
You have to be patient.
Chloe bit her lip.
Cecilia next to me was already crying profusely.
She wanted to show her emotions like she did.
I don’t want to fall.
Don’t forget me.
I wanted to shout.
Swallowing all those words, Chloe struggled to open her mouth.
“Don’t forget me. Soon….”
Cecilia cut off her words at that moment and cried out.
“Tail! You must never forget your promise… !”
A promise?
Her hair went white and she felt like her stomach was turning.
You mean there’s a promise between the two of us that only I don’t know about?
Chloe’s face hardened.
In the end, he brushed off Cecilia, but the time came for her to leave without hearing anything.
Tale smiled brightly at what was so fun.
“Stop fighting and get going. Others are waiting.”
Seeing such a tail, Chloe put on a bitter expression.
‘You smile so brightly the moment I leave.’
However, I felt at the same time that it was good to be able to see that kind of laughter until the end.
‘Wait a minute.’
I’ll be sure to pick you up.
Chloe thought so and looked at her tail endlessly, then moved her steps.
As soon as she turned around, clear tears fell from her eyes.
‘Well done. Chloe.’
You didn’t cry until the end of what he saw.
Chloe took Alan’s hand and climbed into her carriage.
In the carriage was already her mother, the empress.
From her blonde hair and blue eyes to her appearance, she was very similar to Chloe.
However, unlike Chloe, who had a gentle atmosphere, the empress had a cold and cold feeling.
Each of his eyes was as sharp as if he were cut into his flesh.
It’s rattled.
The door closed, and the carriage started.
I felt that I was getting farther and farther away from the monastery.
I wanted to see him one last time.
‘Only once. Just once.’
Chloe stuck her head out of her window before the empress could even stop her.
Tail, who was constantly watching herself from afar, came into sight.
She then smiled and waved her hand.
‘It’s okay.’
You can write a letter.
He also said he would write a letter.
‘Yes. Until I become emperor. I’ll just wait until then.’
Chloe thought so and sat down with all her heart.
However, she couldn’t help but stiffen at the empress’s words.
“Chloe.”
The empress sat upright and continued with a determined voice.
“You’re not going to go back and get in touch with the commoner boy, are you?”
Chloe’s heart sank.
I could feel her mother’s eyes watching her closely.
Looking at Chloe’s hardened expression, the empress clicked her tongue and continued.
“Keep your chest. Princess.”
The empress’s blue eyes shone sternly.
Seeing her eyes, Chloe shrank.
“We are no longer in the monastery. It was just a momentary wind.”
A fleeting wind.
Those words pierced Chloe’s heart.
“So. Forget everything.”
