Fake and Truth (25)
The relationship between the two became cold. While looking at the two in the middle, she stopped in the swaying space revealed in front of her.
However, despite her resistance, she was still moving forward as if she were dragged by them.
“Hang on. What’s that?”
“You’ll find out when you go in. You’ll have fun, too.”
It didn’t look like fun at all. Despite her rejection, they soon put her in front of the strange space. Suddenly, her hand was sucked inside. It was no use pulling back.
‘I feel bad. What the hell is this…?’
They were still full of laughter. She entered the darkness where she couldn’t see an inch ahead.
She could hear the voices of the fairies, but she could tell at once that they were not around. As soon as she was about to falter and step back.
Someone hugged her waist from the back and pulled it with strong force. She escaped from the darkness with the sound of ‘Oh no!’
“……I was expecting something fun, but this is troublesome. I have no intention of losing you to them either.”
It was him again. Why does it appear again when he was himself who left her?
“When did you leave me? Why did you come back?”
She pushed Nox’s arms away. She shook off his body and asked him. At that moment, she heard words whispering in the dark.
“……I’m sorry.”
“So, why are you paying attention to her needlessly?”
“What? You ate alone in the first place!”
“Shh, be quiet. Nox is watching.”
Nox approached the darkness and reached out. The voices and screams of the confused were heard.
The space swaying with darkness shook and began to be sucked into Nox’s palm.
“Argh! No, don’t.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
However, Nox did not move enough to overshadow their screams. Eventually, when the door that connected the space disappeared, the surrounding area quickly became quiet.
“I thought I went through a lot here, but I guess there’s more left.”
“Don’t you think you’re making trouble?”
“You’re not asking me because you don’t know who provided the question, are you?”
Nox pointed his finger at what she said and tilted her head sideways.
Shaking her head at Nox’s appearance, she turned back toward the path she had entered. Throbbing.
Her hands were numb with the feeling.
When she raised both hands, there were red wounds here and there.
“… It’s like I’m bitten by something.”
The tingling pain came belatedly. When she looked around with her hands looking aloof, Nox pulled her hand and looked at the condition.
“I couldn’t do it because I was afraid you’d get hurt. How dare they scratch what I want?”
“You keep saying this, but you change that habit first.”
After knocking his hand out of Nox’s words, he turned around and continued to walk forward. Nox followed her still. The fingertips continued to feel the pungent pain.
“Okay, stop being angry.”
“That’s fine, I can go out and get treated.”
“Do you think it’ll work if you treat it?”
Nox held her hand in front of her. His gaze was fixed on her wounded hand. Slowly raising her hand, he took it to his mouth and licked the wound.
She tried to pull out her hand, but Nox stared at her and kissed the wound lightly.
“What? What are you doing?”
“Do they look like fairies?”
Nox raised the corners of his mouth as if laughing. Nox even licked the wound with his open eyes, and finally rubbed his lips on the back of her hand.
“Well, in your eyes, who knows me as a demon, other than that, I may not be seen as a demon.”
“Does that mean that those fairies can be demons?”
Nox put down her hand and smiled at her. Before she knew it, she could see her hands that became clean without any wounds.
When she glanced up and looked at Nox, he drew a pattern with his finger on the palm of her hand.
Nox’s hand covered her eyes.
“You should have opened your eyes properly. Are you going to get fooled?”
As she lowered Nox’s hand that had covered her eyes, what caught her eye was the appearance of an ordinary store. Even if she looked around, she couldn’t see the forest or the decorations she had seen before.
‘But, can I trust this?’
She felt like it’s going to get weird. How far is true and how far is false?
She couldn’t believe what Nox showed her here either. Gradually, her head was filled with confusion.
“Trust is up to you, Mary.”
“Take me to the castle. I can’t breathe.”
She chose to breathe while holding her chest. Nox’s forehead narrowed due to her rough breathing. He hugged her and snapped his finger.
Returning to the castle, she tried to enter the room but couldn’t turn the doorknob. Standing next to her, she looked at Nox. He nodded as if it didn’t matter.
“Isn’t Mary here? I’d be confused if she appeared.”
“I know. Isn’t that episode more fun?”
“Does she recognize you?”
“Well, I don’t know. Maybe…….”
Nox smiled with a playful face. Suddenly, he pushed his head toward her. Stopped just within reach of his breath, he said.
“Just about the distance between you and me?”
“…..Put it away.”
“She’s just like that, too. Did we get closer because of today?”
“I don’t intend to get closer.”
“I’m sad since last time.”
Nox gently swept her hair over. He opened the door with an elegant gesture, pointed toward the room with one hand, bowed down, and raised his head.
“Let’s go in, Princess.”
