Chapter 110
As Hert was momentarily stunned while looking at Tessa, Lange spoke in a small voice.
“I was going to tell you Lady Tessa is here, but…”
“You, damn it…. I’ll talk to you later.”
Hert threw off his helmet at Lange and went straight towards Tessa, who was also running towards him. He was worried that she might fall down. All kinds of debris were strewn about in here, and there were numerous obstacles that might cause her to fall.
‘Ah, seriously, why did you come to such a dangerous place like this…!’
Hert planned to go find Tessa on his own once everything was done. Most of the situation was sorted out, but he didn’t want to leave anything that could be dangerous to Tessa.
“Her…!”
Hert skillfully held Tessa, who was running towards him, into his arms. His heart beat even louder with a sense of relief as the small body came into him with the familiar scent. Thump, thump, thump… Hert’s throat closed up as she looked up at him with watery eyes.
Ah.
Hert let out a short sigh without realizing it.
He had to tell her that it was dangerous and to go back, but seeing her like this, he couldn’t think of anything. He only had the urge to stare into Tessa’s face. Wasn’t this the face he had been longing to see?
At this moment, Tessa’s skin looks especially fair—was it just his feeling? What about her ginger hair? Red, lush hair cascaded gently down Tessa’s back. Her eyes also seemed to glow softly, like olive shoots grown in the cool sea breeze.
Damn it.
Hert felt like he was about to burst into tears for some reason. Just looking at Tessa’s face felt like something was rising from deep within. Why? Was it because it’s so good to see Tessa again? Or that he might have lost her?
Maybe it was both, maybe it was neither.
All he could be sure of right now was that he loved her more than anyone else.
Even more than himself.
Since when did he fall so deeply in love with Tessa?
At first, it would have been just a very small emotion. Curiosity for the small, fragile-looking hand that suddenly reached out to him.
But it also seems what he had been hoping for. The hand to hold him will appear. At the time, he was quite tired from being rejected countless times.
So, if he were to hold that hand, would he be able to stop being lonely? Would he be able to immerse himself into this place like others could do with those they held dear? …And, he wanted to know if that hand was warm enough to melt his cold one.
So he reached forward and held that hand, thinking of trusting her one last time.
Her hand, which was much smaller than his own, was very soft and warm. Just like a gentle voice that would tickle his ears.
So, without realizing it, Hert gave the girl half a step towards his heart. It was inevitable, and it seemed like a set order.
The feelings that started slowly permeated as time went by, like getting wet in a drizzle, and then, without knowing it, all his heart had become soaked. It started to dominate everything that he could neither forget nor stop.
From then on, there was no turning back. Just like cotton that has been soaked in water would get heavy and couldn’t easily be moved away. As if realizing that there was a small seed hidden in it…
‘Yes, I’ve known since the first time we met.’
That I will love you.
That I can’t help but love you.
He couldn’t let go of Tessa, no matter what she did to him. Because there was no way he could let her go in the first place.
It was the law of nature that once a seed would sprout and take root, it would stay there forever. Looking at the sky all the time.
Tessa was everything to Hert.
How could he give up on her?
No matter how many times Tessa would try to betray him and abandon him, in the end, he would love and accept her no differently. Because he loved her only because she was ‘Tessa’. Whether it rains or snows… No matter what the sky looks like, he would always look up.
I’m tied to you, Tessa.
Hert decided to admit it—just how much he needed Tessa. He could endure anything, if only she would stay by his side. She was the reason he still lived today.
So, let me keep loving you.
Because without you, I’ll wither to death.
“I thought… I won’t be able to see you—”
As soon as the woman’s small mouth opened, Hert kissed her.
He hurriedly sucked in Tessa’s excited breath, like someone who hadn’t been able to breathe in for a while. I want you, Tessa. Just as all of me is yours alone, give me all of you as well. Please. He persistently mixed his tongue and looped Tessa in his arms.
At first, the woman’s body, which had been frightened and weak, now accepted Hert’s kiss completely. She stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around her man’s neck. Tessa didn’t let go of Hert, even as her heels were lifted and shaken by his physique.
After the long kiss ended, Hert smiled softly at Tessa.
“I love you.”
“…….”
“I love you, Tessa.”
Hert confessed everything. He couldn’t stand it any longer. He wanted to love her to the fullest. And his feelings were enough to reach Tessa.
Tessa couldn’t hold back her tears.
‘Me too.’
‘I love you too…’
“…I told you it was okay, nothing will happen,” Hert said.
“Lies…”
“It’s not a lie. See, I’m fine.”
While soothing Tessa who was crying for a long time, Hert wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumb. Tessa’s tender skin quickly reddened and became swollen despite the gentlest touches he could make. Because of this, Hert remembered once again that he had to send her back. After all, there were too many dangerous elements to let her stay here.
“Anyway, why did you come here? I told you to wait until I come back. Who the hell brought you here?”
While saying that, Hert glanced at Lange behind him. Tessa squeezed Hert’s cloak and said while Lange moved away from the place, pretending not to feel his gaze.
“I… told you. I thought I’d… never see you gain. I, I keep… getting nervous…”
Even while fleeing the collapsing castle, Tessa was still nervously worrying about Hert. The misfortune, which she saw, was still attached to the castle. There was still no news of Hert. So he begged Lange for a favor to return to the castle.
It seemed that this uneasiness could be alleviated only by checking with her own eyes that Hert was fine.
“So… I can’t stay still…”
Hert hugged Tessa’s slightly trembling body even tighter. As she worried about him even in the midst of all this, she was ever so adorable and lovable. But he was just fine. Hert gave a leisurely reply to reassure Tessa that it was really nothing.
“It’s okay, it’s all over now. All I have to do is finish it.”
“…Finish?”
“It’s nothing big. It will be over soon. Outside the walls…”
“Can you not… go?”
Tessa hurriedly grabbed Hert the moment he said that he was leaving the castle again. Hert took a closer look at Tessa. He thought it was strange as she continued to tremble with anxietyHe seated her on a nearby rock and brought himself to his knees to face her.
“Tessa, why? What’s going on?”
“…I’m just… anxious…”
“What are you so anxious about?”
“That…”
Tessa hesitated for a moment. Actually, the misfortune I saw all the way here is now hanging around you— Could she say that? Perhaps this time again, Hert would say that she was telling a ridiculous lie.
Above all, the misfortune was only visible in Tessa’s eyes.
‘I will look like a crazy woman… but…’
At first, she thought it would be over once she confirmed that Hert was safe. But that wasn’t it.
As soon as Tessa arrived in front of the collapsed castle, she was surprised to see the misfortune beside Hert.
