30. The letter never came

Chapter 30. The letter never came

Tale stopped walking when he arrived at the monastery.

The monastery felt too quiet and empty.

It felt like Chloe or Cecilia would pop out of one place, calling out to her.

‘It’s okay. Let’s stop thinking about it.’

Tail smiled and moved on.

As I walked back to my room, I passed the kitchen.

The kitchen is pitch black.

Inside, Cecilia, who was making her cookies while wringing her hands, looked at herself and smiled brightly.

With one blink of her eye, Cecilia vanished like a fantasy of hers.

Tail stared blankly at the kitchen where not even the cold warmth remained.

Anywhere, everywhere.

There were traces of Chloe and Cecilia.

At the same time, Tail realized.

I wanted to make memories.

‘Rather, I made those memories.’

Tayl slowly looked away from the kitchen and walked into the room.

After falling into this novel that Yerin read, Tail never once felt that he was living in the ‘real world’.

People here thought that they were all part of a novel, just beings in sentences created at someone’s fingertips.

In particular, the main characters of this world, Chloe and Cecilia, were considered to be closer to ‘fake’ than anyone else because they were created by the artist one by one.

‘But I was wrong.’

Tail realized that paradoxically, they were the only ‘living people’ he felt in this world.

Their sorrows, their joys, all the little changing emotions.

All.

Everything was vivid.

The two people he experienced and all the time he shared with them were absolutely not fiction, dreams, or deceit of the creator.

‘Those children, more than anyone else, were the ‘real’ ones, more central than any other character in this novel.’

The one who can control this place. That “Real” Was Cecilia and Chloe.

In order to meet them again, you have to become ‘real’, the center of this world.

Making this world alive.

Yes, just like the main character.

It’s not just the body of an extra that doesn’t even write a single line.

Tayl smiled bitterly when that fact suddenly stuck in his head.

Since I fell into this world, the deepest bitterness hit my entire body.

But he was well aware.

That there is no way to erase this bitterness.

Tale muttered softly.

“In the end. The fake was me.”

Maybe. The conclusion that was decided from the beginning, and even though I knew it, I tried to ignore it.

When I checked all of that, I just laughed out loud.

In the meantime, Tail arrived in front of the room.

When I opened the door and went in, there was Eugene getting ready to sleep.

Looking at the tail, her eyebrows drooped slightly and she opened her mouth.

“Tail. Fine….”

“I heard that bastard ask if he’s okay, it’s hard to put scabs on his ears, so stop asking.”

Eugene scratched her head at Tail’s words.

“Is that so? Still, it seems that the monastery was noisy. It seems empty at some point.”

Yujin smiled awkwardly.

Tale replied in an indifferent tone to Eugene.

“Originally, it is only natural for monasteries to do this.”

“… Is it.”

Eugene noticed Tail’s condition right away.

She tried to speak in a bright voice to Tail, who looked more depressed than usual.

“Hey. But since Chloe-sama and Cecilia-sama said they’re writing letters, it might be worth waiting for.”

But Tail didn’t answer.

I just lie down on the bed and look out the window at the dark outside.

His eyes were fixed on the lawn outside the window, precisely where Chloe’s tent had drooped.

The lawn is now completely bare.

Tayl muttered softly while staring blankly at that place.

“He probably won’t come.”

He abandoned expectations.

And just like that, half a year passed.

The letter.

He never came.

* * *

“Tail! Are you here today?”

I heard Eugene’s excited voice.

Tail shook his head with the same expression as usual.

Eugene’s eyebrows drooped as if he was rather disappointed at his appearance.

“Mr. . These girls are slow. Slow.”

Tayl laughed at the joke.

“Hey. Done stop asking I’ll put a ticket on your ear.”

With that in mind, Eugene asked Tails almost every day if there were letters from Chloe and Cecilia.

But not a single letter came.

Tale wasn’t disappointed because he already expected that.

Because he knew very well how the reaction would be if he found out that a high-class girl who would soon enter the social world was in contact with a common male monk.

Because you have a status, you must have a lot of eyes and a lot of responsibilities.

Still, he left with good memories until the end, so I thought that was enough.

“Ah. Really. Is it going to town today?”

Eugene asked Tail, who was getting ready to go out, making a fuss.

Perhaps it was because he was worried that he would be sullen.

Knowing that, Tail didn’t show off even more.

“Uh. I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes. I came and went well.”

Tale left the monastery and headed to the city.

The aftermath of the war also affected this place on the outskirts of the empire.

The boats became more active than usual, and the city caught my eye.

After buying this and that, Tail walked into King Wangjjang BAR with familiar steps.

When I entered the room deep inside, as usual, I could feel the presence of a man behind the bar, along with the silhouette of a man.

“Are you here?”

“Yes. Come.”

Tale sat down on the sofa, accustomed to it.

Every time I went to town, Tayel faithfully stopped by this place.

Staying here strangely made me feel a little more at ease.

‘It’s probably because of Khan.’

Khan doesn’t know his face or voice, but that’s why Tails felt more like him.

The words are hard, but he showed consideration for himself.

“Looks like you didn’t come today.”

“What?”

“A letter.”

Tale smiled at Khan’s words.

“What is it? Did you all promise to ask me this?”

Khan fell silent at Tail’s words.

Then he said with difficulty.

“You look in a bad mood.”

As expected. It was khan

Seeing how he understood his mood at a glance.

“Not good.”

From noble mtl dot com.

No matter how much social gaze there is, even if there are surveillance gazes around.

But at least once.

I thought it would come at least once.

However, as if they completely forgot about it, they were completely unknown.

Tale laughed bitterly.

“Okay. I can just live my life.”

Khan opened his mouth at his words.

“I see.”

Then Khan asked curiously.

“But why don’t you think of sending it?”

“Me? To Chloe-sama and Cecilia-sama?”

Tail let out a big smile.

“Let me send it. Rumors will probably spread from the social world. The only princess of the empire and the daughter of the Marquis of Duvir are in contact with a commoner monk.”

Tail stared blankly into space.

“I don’t want to ruin their lives by going that far.”

“Tale then.”

Khan’s words continued slowly.

“I will deliver it myself.”

Tail’s eyes widened.

“Khan himself?”

“Yes. I’ll secretly deliver it directly to them. Since we are VIPs, we will do something special for you.”

Tail’s eyes trembled slightly.

Unless Tail was an idiot, he didn’t see Kan as an ordinary human being.

In that case, during the last war, I would never have been able to carry out the request to find out the situation regarding the Marquis.

The level of information brought in in the first place, and the ability to succeed in all requests without making a single mistake each time.

What if someone like that delivered it directly?

‘I don’t know if I can convey it without reaching anyone’s gaze.’

To think there was a way to contact Chloe and Cecilia.

Tail’s expression began to come to life.

“Then, please. Cannes.”

“If you send the letter tomorrow, it will probably take about a week. I’ll send you a letter when I get back.”

Tale smiled broadly after a long time.

“Yes. I’ll go then.”

Tayl quickly returned to the monastery to write the letter.

* * *

And exactly a week later, a letter came from Khan.

[Back. Come by today if you can.]

I came to meet Chloe and Cecilia.

As soon as the letter arrived, Teil ran out of the monastery and went straight to see the khan.

Tale gasped for breath as he ran and opened the door.

“Khan! I’m here!”

Tail’s eyes quickly scanned the desk.

I was looking for a letter containing Chloe and Cecilia’s answers.

“Answer?”

Tail’s eyes twinkled.

The young Cecilia and the tender Chloe were drawn in his eyes.

Are you doing well?

Is the adaptation going well?

I wonder if I miss life here.

At that time, Khan struggled to open his mouth toward such a tail.

“I met Chloe and Cecilia to deliver your letter.”

Khan’s voice strangely felt heavier than usual.

“Both of them….”

Tayl froze at Khan’s words.

“They said they wouldn’t accept letters.”

“…What do you mean?”

Tail’s eyes trembled slightly.

You don’t want to receive the letter?

That’s both?

“That’s literally it.”

Khan continued calmly.

“When I told them that it was a letter from you, both of them refused to receive it.”
