Love Letter From The Future

1. The First Letter (79)

A man and a woman stood in the silence of the middle of the night in an empty field where the moonlight poured down like a curtain.

It was Ian and Ceria. The man stared at Seria’s back without saying anything. The fingers behind his back were twitching. It was a habit that appeared whenever a woman was nervous.

It was a familiar sight by now. Ian, who had become accustomed to Seria’s poor sociality, decided to wait until she relaxed. Patience was a noble virtue.

Relaxedly waiting for the man to speak for a long time, the girl looked back to see if she had finally made up her mind. Her gray hair fluttered in the cold moonlight.

Her head, which had been blushing slightly, immediately lowered her head. It was not the attitude of a nobleman to treat aristocrats. Clearly, courtesy towards superiors.

The deeply bent waist was close to a right angle. The man looked down at the woman with bewildered eyes. And after a while, a clear voice resounded in the clearing.

“Go, Gamsha… oh, thank you Senior Ian!”

Are you saying you were so nervous to say thank you?

The man tried to laugh, but soon he had a bitter smile. His head was lowered involuntarily. Hey, it was Seria’s way to shudder even at such an ordinary thing.

It was frustrating at first, but now it seems cute. The nickname ‘Yurdina’s slut’ didn’t suit such a lovely girl. She was quite rich in emotional expression.

It was only a month, but I went through a lot with Seria. It was funny. Until then, we had only known each other face to face, but suddenly we became so close.

Ian felt a strange connection. Yes, this also started with the arrival of the letter.

“Thank you too, Seria. So you don’t have to bow your head that much.”

“Ha, but… … .”

But Seria only hesitated, unable to straighten her bent back. Even to the point of being stubborn about strange things, it was a response like her.

Ian, who had no way of knowing this, subdued her with a single word.

“Then should I bow my head too? Looks like we both want to thank each other… … .”

“Oh no! Everything, I’ll stand right now!”

Seria jumped up and down as if she had bounced up, immediately raised her head and straightened her posture. It was to the point where anyone could see that the scary senior was disciplining the poor junior.

However, the gaze watching this place now did not exist. At least that’s what the two men and women recognized. So the man was able to show a more relaxed attitude.

He asked Seria, who was averting her gaze with a blushing face.

“So, did you feel a little better?”

It was a plain question. Many of the in-house questions were omitted. Even so, because there was a secret they shared, Seria was able to understand the meaning immediately.

She turned her eyes down. After staring at the ground for a long time, a small sigh escaped Seria’s mouth.

“… … I don’t know.”

That’s right, he was still young and young, but it was a shadow he had had throughout his life. Although he won a decisive victory, the darkness in his heart would not have gone completely.

Thinking so, Ian took out the canteen he had hung from his waist. Apparently the story was going to be long, so he quenched his thirst by drinking water.

It wasn’t until the two of them were together that Seria began to tell her feelings.

“At first, I was a little bewildered. Did I really beat my sister? To be honest, I thought it was not my victory, it was senior Lee Ahn’s victory. Because I haven’t done much… … .”

“I couldn’t have won without you.”

There was no hesitation in Ian’s speech. Seria bit her lip slightly at the sound of that firm conviction in her voice.

A man staring at her with golden eyes shining in a forest where the moonlight spreads like fog.

Even the sight of him gulping and drinking water from a canteen felt trustworthy. For Seria, the existence of ‘Senior Ian’ was like that. From a certain moment, the feeling of respect turned into longing, and that feeling turned into an unknown feeling again.

As she moved one step at a time, her emotions were colored in various colors. Seria found it mysterious at times.

It was a colorless and odorless life. Like colorblindness, her world was dotted with black and white. Those days when the majority of humans felt meaningless, and even she felt meaningless.

There were times when Seria felt that she had no feelings for herself. It might exist, but it was terribly vague, so I couldn’t laugh and chat with others.

Lizardmen living in the jungles of the Southern Ten Kingdoms, their lives where they would cut off their arms or legs without hesitation when poisoned, suited Seria.

Emotions, joy, cut off everything, and a life devoted only to the sword.

A light suddenly fell on his life. Perhaps even more bewildered than beating her stepsister, Seria didn’t realize it.

“But, senior Ian played the most decisive role.”

“I couldn’t have done it without you. It was only possible because he captured the Witchbeast and ambush Delphine-senpai from behind.”

Even though he was supposed to show off his performance, the tone of the man who said that was very calm. It meant sincerity.

So Seria felt her heart warm a little. I can’t trust my judgment, but I can trust Ian’s words. That’s because Seria had deep trust in Ian.

A faint smile crept across her lips. The girl’s question was thrown.

“… … Then, I don’t have to have nightmares anymore.”

What a nightmare it was, the man did not bother to ask. There is only one nightmare that Seria can suffer from.

It was the memory of the day my mother was kicked out. Since that day, Seria has lived her life madly devoted to her sword. In order to prove its usefulness to the family, always fearful.

Nonetheless, she has lived through being defeated by senior Delphine. Every time that happened, the seed of the nightmare planted in her heart grew rapidly and clamped down on her heart with its roots.

As the daughter of the Yurdina family, her clear limits were emphasized by contrasting like light and darkness. Delphine Yurdina was the victor and enemy, but Seria was not.

A loser and an outcast, those were the words that adorned Seria Yurdina’s life.

However, she brought victory over Delphine Yurdina yesterday. It was an important test to prove his qualifications as the successor. It may be the first and last victory, but she won anyway.

It was the Yurdina family who divided the world into a dichotomy between winners and losers. No one would dare to say that they were ignoring or expelling Seria.

Unlike her mother, Seria proved herself to be no weakling. so it stays

There were no significant errors in its logical structure. Even so, Ian couldn’t come up with an answer right away.

to be silent, to be silent

He immediately shook his head. A small sigh escaped from his mouth.

“No, it will be difficult. That’s why your mother won’t come back.”

It was a direct statement. Depending on the listener, it wasn’t strange even if they got angry at it for being too much. However, Seria’s reaction was only calm.

As if she knew that, the girl with a sad smile became even more miserable in the moonlight.

The nightmare of that day was more about winning and losing. There was no way her wounds would completely heal even if she won. It just frees you from the obsession that you have to prove your usefulness.

She almost became depressed, but Seria suddenly caught on to her senses. Nevertheless, the fact that I was greatly favored by senior Ian did not change. Even if I thanked you hundreds of times, it wasn’t enough.

There was no point in creating a place just for the two of us if we had to create a gloomy atmosphere. A little more thanks, and then again.

What to do, Seria’s accident was blocked as if it was caught on a rock.

Isn’t that enough misunderstanding? In a clearing late at night, a drunken man and woman are gathered together. The thing is, I have something to say.

Even Seria, who was ignorant of human relations, did not know what it meant.

It was a confession. And since it was Seria who summoned Ian, it was inevitable that she would be the one with the business.

Seria’s eyes started to spin. Her fingertips got hot for no reason, and she wiggled and fumbled with them.

That, but I don’t like senior Ian.

Isn’t this feeling ‘friendship’? I’ve heard that ‘love’ is a slightly more special emotion.

When I see him, my heart races, I am captivated by his eyes, and my head is filled with thoughts of him like water-soaked cotton.

Of course, if you ask me what I think of senior Lee Ahn, he’s cool, trustworthy, and if I had to put it mildly, he was close to an ideal spouse.

How dare someone like her be Ian’s mate. Seria’s thought circuit, which had begun to become tangled with delusions, did not return in a short time.

So she didn’t notice. The fact that the man had come close to her.

“… … That, Seria.”

Hook, and the man’s presence came like a frenzy. Seria was startled and opened her eyes wide, looking up at the man’s face.

He was a bit embarrassed. Slightly averting his gaze, the man sighed and cleared his throat. It was as if he was trying to alleviate his shame.

Seria thought. It was dangerous, my heart almost stopped. The reason was still unknown. However, her eyes slowly turned toward the man’s outstretched hand.

It was a necklace. It was a small pendant, made of silver. And a single flower was embossed on the outside.

Six petals, silver, so I couldn’t bring out the color, but if I painted it, it would be sky blue.

It was ‘Sepia Flower’. The bewildered eyes turned to the man again.

The man was scratching his cheek with his free hand. The ball was slightly hot. It wasn’t just because of drunkenness.

“It is a gift. Last time, did you say that your mother liked it?”

In a daze, the girl looked at the pendant held out in front of her. And he accepted it carefully.

I felt the cold touch of metal. Seria stared at the flower embossed on the pendant.

It was my mother’s favorite flower. Come to think of it, I also told Ian senior. It is said that just looking at this flower makes you feel at ease.

Is that why you prepared? Seria wanted to say something, but she couldn’t open her mouth. Only the lips were swollen and made only empty echoes.

“Flowers wither when picked, but pendants remain. So, that… I hope I don’t have nightmares in the future.”

Saying, Seria cherished the pendant in her hand. My hair is white. I didn’t know what to say or how to react.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt the need to express my gratitude. Those feelings rose like wildfire and rose like steam. Seria, who had been looking down at the pendant for a long time, suddenly raised her head once again.

Seria was at a loss for words. Ian was glancing at Seria’s eyes. It was Ian as usual. However, Seria, who looked at this, was different.

My heart pounded and my heart raced. It was like that from the beginning, but more intensely.

I had only met him face to face. But, even so.

Just looking at it makes my heart race, fascinates me with golden eyes, and fills my head with thoughts of him like wet cotton.

Is this also ‘friendship’? Moonlight is the only lighting, but why does the world turn dreamy and her breasts dyed in all-natural colors?

The man cautiously asked her, who couldn’t come up with an answer and couldn’t say anything.

“Do you like it? That would be nice.”

do you like it

It was only after receiving that question that Seria realized. It was thanks to an involuntary exclamation.

Oh, very much.

yes you

It was very good. So there was no way to stop the beating heart. My throat was choked and I couldn’t even speak properly.

Just with my head down, holding back my tears.

“… … Yes, too.”

Only then did Seria realize. The name of this pale pink emotion that tickles the heart.

The flower language of ‘sepia flower’ was ‘first love’.

Leto wandered through the woods, scratching his head. No matter how much I waited, Ian, the main character of the day, did not come back, so I thought I should go find him.

Are you sure you’re not stretching out because you’re drunk?

If so, that would have been funny. The winner of the hunting festival couldn’t overcome the alcohol and was scattered in the forest.

I forcibly overcame the annoyance and moved on, but I saw a familiar face in the distance.

The figure of a girl staring blankly at a certain empty lot.

It was Celine. Leto raised his hand in greeting.

“Hey Celine. what are you doing… … .”

But Celine didn’t say anything back. He just bit his lip and turned around with an expression of unknown emotion.

Even after hitting Leto on the shoulder, there was no word of apology. Leto sighed and swallowed a laugh.

Why is this, is it that day?

As he was about to move forward, he had to listen to Celine’s annoying warning from behind.

“… … Don’t go to that clearing, you ignorant bastard!”

what are you talking about Leto tilted his head and glanced into the clearing.

A girl crying while holding onto something, and Ian trying to soothe her in embarrassment.

Leto burst into exclamation at that moment. It was only now that Celine’s reaction felt understandable.

That way, I couldn’t invite him out for a drink. He clicked his tongue a few times in bitterness, then turned around.

I hope Celine doesn’t get hurt too much.

Never dreaming that it would be the prelude to a grand conflict, Leto just moved on so reluctantly.

It was on a day when the moonlight was beautiful.

**

The night after the after-party, I went to sleep feeling relieved for the first time in a while.

She won the hunting festival, and there were no casualties in the process, and as a result, Emma was able to regain consciousness.

It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off. At first, when the letter came, I wondered what to do, but in the end, I was glad that everything worked out.

However, the stage name ‘Sepia’ still bothered me. Looking back at the contents of the letter from the future, the person who met the conditions the most was Seria.

Could Seria and I become lovers in the distant future?

It was unknown as of now. To think that she, who is talented, looks great, and has great family power, and I, who is only the second son of a rural viscount, become lovers.

It was hard to imagine. As I shook off all my thoughts, my consciousness went dark, and when I opened my eyes again.

I felt a crushing headache. I felt a burning thirst. He groped and reached for the table near the head of the bed. Then, he lifted the canteen and poured the water into his esophagus.

Only then did my mind clear up. It was still early in the morning, it was time to start training, but since I drank too much the night before, it was better to get some sleep.

As I tried to lie down again, the sight I had seen at first glance was locked in my eyes.

The calendar was over.

From the moon of the bow to the moon of the wheel. I wouldn’t have turned over the calendar yet.

It was the moment when the hairline became soft at once. My eyes immediately scanned the top of the table. Immediately, a luxurious letter envelope caught my eye.

I stared at it, lost for words, and immediately grabbed the envelope with trembling hands. And check its contents.

It was a letter. The letter that also came to me, 7 years later.

“… … f*ck this.”

It seemed that my future fiancé had something to say to me.
