Flowers of Worship

༺❀༻

Unlike me, Cili took a much longer time to change clothes. Of course, if you add up the time, I spent more time than her; but she had changed dresses five to six times. Why does it take too long to get dressed? Sophie looked at my face and said,

“Women have to wear makeup. The hair is complicated too.” I smiled with mischief as if I didn’t know anything. Indeed. The women who tutored me in Hastred were quite a few, but most of them wore plain clothes with little to no make-up, so I had to recall a distant memory. How was my aunt doing? After I barely remembered my aunt’s attire, I frowned. I had a gorgeous aunt, and she was like a flamboyant beggar to me. I didn’t like it very much when I thought about whether I was locked up in a room for so long to become such an idiot. Cili looked best with her red hair hanging down and her white shirt and leather pants on. The delicate neckline formed her lines, and her sword and the figure of a person named Cecilia Sarian harmonizes. I liked it. You can like, trust and rely on her because she is unique like no other woman…so I thought.

Until the curtains in the small room open.

“Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you grow, and you’re still beautiful.”

Sophie’s laugh could be heard in the distance. I thought I had to take my eyes off Cili’s figure. It’s not rude to look at her beauty, but I’m staring at her so intently, or maybe I’m glaring at her, and that’s definitely against manners. I had been thinking clearly while in Larture that it wouldn’t be hard if I won’t show up in front of Cili, who had already been carrying the burden of being my fiancée.

Her neck was exposed by her gracefully braided hair. While it was decorated with fresh flowers, her clothes, hair, shoes, and even her handbag were a combination of white and soft pink. Cili’s blazing red hair had always made her look like a war goddess, but now she feels like a symbol of innocence. With her pear string handbag hanging around her wrist and the bouquet, neither small nor large, was in her hands. She was a goddess..no; she was more like a bride.

At that moment I realized that she was my fiancee, that is, she was going to marry me.

This beautiful woman will later become my spouse.

“His highness, the Grand Duke is mesmerized!”

I could hear Sophie laughing and teasing me. But it was distant. Strong Cili. Generous Cili. Cili was a good person. Yes, I knew such a thing but I had never thought of Cili being a beautiful bride, so I just blinked.

I could feel people struggling to stifle their laughter with Sophie’s teasing. Unlike Sophie, no one else could make fun of me in the presence of the Grand Duke. But if they had laughed, I wouldn’t be angry, nor would I have laughed with them because my head is completely empty at the moment.

A few days before she went out, I sent her a complete letter after she went to war. She seemed to be burdened and replied in a short response as if she was waiting for me on the road of exhaustion, but I never gave up. Various scenes of the story passed through my mind while writing a letter; Cili was looking like a shy bride. Cili was like the incarnation of a whole body that wielded a sword. And Cili came to save me.

But the last thing that always comes to mind is ageless Cili, smiling like she’s resigned from all the world’s affairs. That strange smile that looked like a grandmother yet younger than me.

Cili, I’m always curious.

Why are you smiling like you’ve given up on everything? Unlike me, I wish I had everything.

“…since, …have you felt bad?”

The illusion of hearing Cili’s voice was easy. I hadn’t seen Cili in over two years. I’m tall, but I wouldn’t even know what she looked like. Could she be a little older? Then maybe a little less beautiful? Or would it be more beautiful?

“…and, are you alright… .”

“Orssen!”

“Your highness, sorry… .”

Her voice keeps getting farther away. There was a slightly cool hand on my forehead that was careful and thoughtful. It would be nice if this hand belonged to Cili. Before falling asleep, as always, I thought of Cili.

Fifth page. Return

I know there was a problem with his behavior.

The king punished my provocations with authority. As soon as I became his contractor, he ordered me to subdue the 7th monster. The subjugation of demons was necessary, but the king did not have the means to allocat
