Chapter 20: The Shape of a Dream – 10

ㅤ━━I had a dream. A children’s dream. A dream of children laughing in a soft light.

ㅤ”Hmm……”
ㅤ”Are you awake?”
ㅤ”Yes……”

ㅤFingertips caress my cheek as I’m still dazed. I follow them and find a beloved smiling face asking,”Were you dreaming?”

ㅤ”Yes, a children’s dream……Two, no, three of them, I think.”

ㅤWhen I answer, still half asleep, Lily gently urges me,”And then?”

ㅤ”One was my younger brother……I couldn’t tell about the other two because they were still small, but they all seemed happy.”
ㅤ”That’s a good dream.”
ㅤ”Yes, it is. I want to see it a little longer.”

ㅤI grab the hand that was caressing my cheek and pull her closer. I ignore her flustered voice calling out,”Arnold!”and close my eyes again.

ㅤ”It’s a good dream.”

ㅤI, standing beside her, was also bathed in the same light as the children. I feel like I’ve always wanted to go there. Into the soft light.

ㅤ”There’s no time to sleep in.”
ㅤ”Just five more minutes.”
ㅤ”Oh my. You’re such a handful.”

ㅤSaying that, Lily snuggles into my arms, and my dream takes the shape of a warm light.

Status: Completed Type: Author: Released: 2023 Native Language: Japanese
Oswald, the most powerful magician in the land, was well aware of his exceptional magical abilities and striking good looks. He understood that charm was also necessary to navigate life successfully, so he carefully cultivated a pleasant facade. This led to an engagement with the Saint, a union he believed would be a harmonious arrangement. However, fate took a cruel turn when Oswald, while protecting the Saint during a battle against a magical beast, suffered a grievous wound to his face. Not only did a disfiguring scar mar his visage, but lingering miasma seeped into the wound, draining him of his magical power and leaving him bedridden. Stripped of his strength and beauty, Oswald received a heartless notice of a broken engagement, along with a letter offering a replacement… the Saint’s "failure" of a younger sister. Rumors whispered of the younger sister being mistreated by the Saint. Resigned to abandoning his carefully crafted persona, Oswald accepted the new engagement, allowing his new fiancée the freedom to live as she pleased. However, her behavior struck him as odd… Was she truly incompetent and ab*sed as the rumors suggested?
