My Villains Episode 225

47. Nightmare (7)

All the way up the quiet walking path, I couldn’t take my eyes off the palace in the distance.

‘Takanto’ is a palace that is comparable to other royal palaces.

Not only the Duke who rules over all of Eyland, but also the positions of Jahakar and Baluin.

It was a space where dozens of members of the clan stayed, and its scale was unbelievably grand.

Moreover, as it has over 500 years of history, it exudes an old-fashioned and imposing feeling that cannot be described in words.

The architectural style was also unique, reminding me of a palace I saw somewhere in southern Spain, while also giving the impression of a crouching hedgehog or lizard.

For Poinix, a 21-year-old young man, it would have been such a boring sight that he would not even want to look at it, but for Kim Seung-soo, a 30-year-old man, it was a new and fascinating sight….

w……uh ”

If you think about it, it’s a strange thing.

Memories of Phoenix were also filled in my mind, and the image of Takanto Palace over there remained clear.

But now, as I was looking at that palace as something that was a combination of Kim Seung-su and Poinix, aka Kim Poinix, a completely different feeling than I remembered welled up.

The path along Heila was also the same.

A quiet walking path stretches out like a winding snake in the shadow of the high, sharp castle walls.

When I was a boy, I remember walking around with Ayla about four or five times, so I only remembered it, but it was a space that did not provide any inspiration to Poynix.

Seungsu Kim, no, it was different for Kimpo Inix.

Because of the high walls, sunlight only shines for a couple of hours a day, so most of the things that grew around it were low grass and moss.

But even in this dark shadow

A few flowers were blooming.

Looking at the purple irises blooming like that, I felt a sense of awe or affection.

The next thing that came to mind was, surprisingly, Ayla.

When the weather got cold, she would pick irises with sad eyes and make a bouquet. I guess she wanted to show off this beautiful and wondrous scenery to her family.

“••••••Phew.” Suddenly, I completely understood Phoenix’s feelings.

The boy loved Ayla.

It must have been close to impossible not to love the woman who smiled brightly and purely as she handed me a bouquet of flowers.

It’s time to savor something that’s sweet and bitter, warm and tingly.

Hayla stopped in front of a short staircase.

“… … what’s the matter?”

“I’m going to rest for a while and then go.”

“You’re going to take a break?”

The corner where the walls of Tauzu Den meet the stairs leading to Takanto Palace. There was a long bench made of black wood.

… … Was there a bench like this here? I don’t have any memories of Poynix.

Hayla sat quietly on the bench while I tilted my head.

“You too, get some rest.”

“Well, I guess I won’t have time to relax.”

“But I can’t help it.”

“You can’t help it?”

“huh. “I’m bad at stairs.”

What are you saying, boy?

Neither Kim Seung-soo, an experienced man, nor Poynix, her cousin, could guess what Heyla was thinking… … .

When I glanced back, Archer Cole also looked like he didn’t know what was going on.

“Well, let’s take a break. “I was already a little tired.”

“All right.”

I put my butt next to Hayla and opened my mouth.

“Can you guess what kind of situation this is?”

“Roughly.”

” Roughly?”

“huh. “You have entered the dream territory you built.”

Perhaps because she felt the staring gaze demanding an explanation, she blinked a couple of times before continuing.

“Originally, this world should consist only of your dreams. However, this strange dream was probably realized because other people were involved while the dream territory was not completed.”

“… … okay? So what happened to the call?”

” call?”

“huh. “Cole came straight into my dreams.”

Kol, who received attention from Hayla and I, opened his mouth with his characteristic calm expression.

“I came to my senses in a strange room right after I was swallowed by the black disk. “Unless my memory is wrong.”

“Strange room?”

“yes. It was a mysterious room full of things I had never seen before… … Cole looked back at me and shrugged his shoulders.

“that’s right. “It was my dream.”

Hayla blinked her eyes slowly, as if she was in trouble.

“Maybe Cole didn’t have any useful dreams?”

“… … “Is there a difference between useful and unusable dreams?”

“I don’t know. “It’s just a guess.”

We talked more about the dream territory, but there was no significant result. This is because there was too little information to begin with.

“Well, I’m glad.”

As I said that and sighed deeply, Hayla’s black eyes turned to me.

To someone who doesn’t know you, it may seem like a meaningless look. As I was so used to her, when I looked at her, I could see her interest or curiosity in her gaze.

… … what the. If you’re curious, you’ll open your mouth and ask a question, but can you just keep your eyes shining like that?

Even though I was grumbling internally, I answered Hayla’s gaze.

“Here. “I’m glad it wasn’t a bad dream.”

“Bad dream?” “Yes, the place we passed by before… … “It was a complete nightmare.”

For some reason, my heart sank, but I tried to speak calmly.

“Some monsters came out, the ground cracked, and it was all chaos.”

Instead of answering, Hayla just blinked quietly.

What is this reaction?

“… … why? “Is there something wrong?”

«Ugh» Hmm*

The calm answer as usual left me momentarily confused.

“Is there something wrong with it?”

“It’s not a good dream.”

“This world?”

“huh.”

“No, what is that…” … . “Is it this peaceful?”

When I made a startled sound, Cole, who had been sitting quietly, cautiously opened his mouth.

“Phoenix’s dream was similar. “The surroundings are so quiet that it gives me goosebumps.”

“The atmosphere is different.”

“Atmosphere, you mean? hmm,”

Cole quietly looked around.

“… … “I don’t know.”

Takanto Palace was certainly a magnificent and wonderful building, but the surrounding castle walls and barracks were gloomy, as if ghosts were about to come out.

Yes, judging from the atmosphere, it seems more dangerous here. But somehow I feel an inexplicable sense of peace here.

I scratched my eyebrows and then turned to Heyla.

“What kind of dream is this?”

She was silent for a moment and then slowly removed her lips.

“It’s hard to explain.”

“Well, then at least roughly-”

“Let’s move. “You will find out when you go up.”

It seems like he is avoiding my eyes for some reason.

Hayla got up from the bench and took the lead up the stairs, and I followed her with my Hrunting in hand. Cole, who trained his bow, followed behind and kept looking behind him.

As the stairs passed the bend where they met the castle wall, Hayla, who had been walking quietly, suddenly opened her mouth.

“I liked Ayla too.”

“… … uh?”

“Because she was a person who was not like Baluin.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

“When I was young, I would blindly copy Ayla’s actions.”

“Like what?”

“I’ve tried cooking and I’ve made furniture.”

“Aside from cooking, you also made furniture?”

“huh. “I also made the bench down there.”

“what?”

I quickly looked through Phoenix’s memories, but

“… … “I had no idea.”

“I secretly made it because adults didn’t like it.”

After a pause, Hayla added quietly.

“… … You’ve never seen it before. “It broke four days after I made it.”

“In four days? “Is it true that adults are like that?”

“no.”

“then?”

“They said it broke when the soldiers sat down for a moment while on patrol.”

“uh?”

“… … “I don’t have any talent for that.” but. How strong can a bench made by a child be? … .

After a moment of silence, Hayla added.

“No one was hurt.”

“… … Even if you’re hurt, you should keep your mouth shut, right? “I can’t ask you to take responsibility.”

“It’s not like that. “No one was really hurt.”

“Uh, I understand.”

When Hayla pursed her lips, I chuckled and asked a question.

“But why did you suddenly bring up Ayla?”

“… … “Just like cooking and furniture, I also did walking.”

“walk?”

“huh.”

Hayla climbed the final stairs.

I glanced at her and saw that she was quietly swallowing dry saliva.

“This was my last walk.”

“Last walk?”

We climbed the stairs and arrived at a small vacant lot. There was a steep drainage ditch under the castle wall on the left, a large palace tower in front, and a wide road leading to Takanto Palace on the right.

“… … wait here.”

Hayla slowly walked towards the drain.

There were a few withered flowers near the drainage ditch. Most of them are hanging over the edge, so it looks like they fell into the drainage ditch and got caught on the chin.

Hayla’s slow steps trampled the withered irises. The dried petals and leaves were cracked and cracked.

At the same time, Wen Yin Young came out from behind the palace tower.

“Ugh.”

A startled Cole aimed an arrow in that direction, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him. This was because the face of Inyoung protruding from the palace tower was very familiar.

Cole looked at Inyoung again belatedly and opened his mouth halfway.

“… … “That can’t be right.”

What popped out from behind the palace tower was a boy with a beautiful appearance. A boy holding a bunch of withered flowers and old papers to his chest.

“… … “Phoenix, is this you?”

“that’s right. “I think he’s about thirteen.”

“oh my god.”

Cole was astonished.

The young Poynix looked to be about 170 cm tall. He was as tall as any young man, but his tanned face was full of fur and gave him a cute, youthful appearance.

Her facial features were so pretty that one could mistake her for a girl, but she was as stiff as a doll or statue.

Cole’s eyes were full of disbelief as he looked back and forth between young Phoenix and me.

“Hmm, how can this happen?”

“… … “What does that mean?”

“No, no.”

“It’s okay, you bastard. Her face said, ‘Why did you change so much?’ “It’s written there.”

While Kol was sweating at my growl, young Poi Nyx, who appeared from behind the palace tower, spotted Heyla and stood tall.

Heyla, no, the boy’s eyes were cold when he found the withered flower she was stepping on.

The crab sank.

The boy didn’t say anything.

He strode over to stand in front of Hayla and looked her in the eyes.

Hayla didn’t even open her mouth.

She cautiously took a step back, biting the inside of her lip.

Young Phoenix got down on one knee and began to gather up the flower that Hayla had stepped on and the flowers that were scattered around. Hayla was blankly staring at the scene.

Eventually, the boy got up and turned around in the direction of the palace tower where he had appeared.

“wait for a sec.”

The boy turned to Heyla at the sound of a small, barely audible voice.

“… … oh my.”

I, who was standing behind Hayla, looked directly into the boy’s eyes and sighed.

Thanks to his expressionless face, the boy’s black eyes sparkled even more clearly. Contained in that sparkle were all kinds of negative emotions, including resentment, disgust, anger, contempt, and disgust… … .

That cheap bastard. No matter how angry you are, is that the kind of look you would give to her cousin and fiancee?

No matter what I thought inside, Hayla, facing the boy’s eyes and emotions, couldn’t continue her words and closed her mouth. The boy who was glaring at her soon disappeared behind her palace tower.

Hayla, who was looking at the back of young Phoenix from afar, slowly turned around. She even seemed to stumble slightly.

She returned to me and Kol who were silent and opened her mouth.

“let’s go.”

“… … Where?”

“To the palace. “Walk along the road and it will be over.”

“That’s the end?”

“O” Hmm.

Somehow, Hayla looked a little drier than before. Her eyes were also calmer than usual.

Thanks to you, I was confident.

The person who gave Hayla an unforgettable nightmare was none other than Phoenix.
