The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 386



387 – Always

Time passed and the day finally arrived when the new emperor’s coronation ceremony was held. Today’s capital has become a city solely for coronation ceremonies. So many people from all over the continent filled the capital that accommodations in the capital could not be reserved for two weeks, and the roads were filled with endless crowds.

As it was an honorable and monumental day for the new emperor’s coronation, the festive atmosphere heated up. The sweet smell of seasoning, soy sauce, and fried food caught the footsteps of passers-by, and the exterior of the building, newly painted and magically decorated for the coronation ceremony, was completely different from the street just a week ago.

All those with noble status gathered in the capital. Of course, Luna’s family also came to the capital on the day of her coronation. It is impossible for the great nobles of the East to not attend the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.

We had a light meal with Luna’s family, who visited the capital, before the coronation ceremony. Luna’s older brothers were still wary of me with their fierce eyes. Fortunately, I made a good impression on Luna’s parents last time, so the meal wasn’t an inconvenience.

Then we headed to the entrance of the imperial palace to watch the coronation procession. As befits the great nobles of the East, there were designated spots for viewing separately. It seemed like everyone was excited about the new emperor.

Finally, the magic fireworks that showered the sky with colorful flower petals exploded, and at the same time, the tightly closed door of the palace opened.

Starting with the Imperial Palace Knights on horseback, a dancer danced on a huge platform magically levitated in the air, and an Imperial Palace Wizard waved a staff with a colorful decoration and sprinkled golden dust.

All kinds of rare animals and gigantic structures as if showing the status of the empire. The splendid parade using artifacts continued, and finally the new Emperor Bella appeared on a gorgeous palanquin made of gold.

It was like looking at a beautiful doll, just like the one I had seen before. The people stared blankly at the gorgeously decorated beauty of Bella, but belatedly they came to her senses and cheered to announce the beginning of a new emperor.

The moment the emperor’s palanquin passed in front of us, Bella turned her head and looked at us for a moment, then turned her head again. As the palanquin moved away, Ruinen patted my shoulder with a happy smile. I guess Bella thought I was the reason she turned her head to look at me during her march.

After all the marches, a festival was held to commemorate the coronation ceremony. Fireworks exploded everywhere, and magic soared into the sky. The local nobles who had gathered in the capital for the first time in a long time dispersed to have secret conversations with people they knew, and endless numbers of nobles who wanted to establish ties with the Grace family, a great noble family in the east, came in.

Luna and I returned to the academy before the streets became more crowded. Because Kane was stuck in the alchemy workshop to make magic stone bombs, Luna and I were the only ones in the club room.

When I sat down on the sofa and sat down with Luna, who naturally hugged me, Luna naturally kissed me, as if it was natural. We continued kissing for a while, then parted our lips and said,

“My mother asked me to return home like today. She will stay with her family until the vacation is over. Since we break up again when the school opening ceremony opens, I guess you want to spend time together. ”

I may have unconsciously made a sad expression at those words, but a faint smile appeared on Luna’s mouth and eyes as she looked at my face.

“Are you sad even though we were always together?”

“of course. “I don’t want to fall even a little bit.”

As I said that, I hugged Luna tightly, pressing my whole body against her. Luna let out a faint moan, brushed my bangs, and placed her lips on my forehead.

“so do i. So, in order to be with Ross for a little while, I promised to take the last portal and go back.”

The feeling of feeling joy and regret at the same time was truly strange. As if I didn’t want to forget Luna’s warmth, I said, burying my face in the crook of her pure white neck.

“How about we go tomorrow instead? “It’s dangerous at night.”

“Then I don’t want to break up with Ross tomorrow, so I don’t think I’ll come up with any reason to go back.”

It was such a realistic answer that I smiled without realizing it.

“I am confident that I will be persuaded by any reason.”

“That’s why it doesn’t work.”

Luna, with a mischievous smile, spoke as she slowly stroked my face as if she were handling a precious object.

“My parents also knew that a vigilante group called Lily had appeared in the capital. So you were more worried. “I’m afraid something dangerous might happen to me.”

I frowned slightly at Luna’s words.

“They say lilies only target bad people.”

The rumor quickly spread that the people Lily killed with Modest’s help were all evil. People with connections to the imperial investigation team were able to find out that the rumors were true, as the evidence that Modist had been gathering was secretly planted near his body.

Instead of answering, Luna brought her face closer to me. Sweet breath mixes. When she pushed her head out to kiss her again, Luna said, gently pushing her shoulder.

“I’m not a good person either.”

“… you?”

Luna is the kindest person I know. But she said she was not a good person. When she tilted her head at the incomprehensible words, Luna, who had blinked her eyes cutely, touched her lips with her finger and opened her mouth.

“I’m only good to Ross.”

“… Well, that’s enough.”

If so, it is recognition. As long as you’re nice to me, that’s it. Luna is mine, and I can be infinitely nice to Luna, except on nights when we are alone.

Luna, who traced the lines of my face with her fingertips, blinked her big eyes and met my gaze before saying.

“I know it’s necessary for Ross to act as Lily. But more than anything, I hope Ross doesn’t get hurt and doesn’t have a hard time. “I hope he doesn’t overdo it, and I hope he doesn’t feel sad.”

I raised my hand and held Luna’s hand and spoke strongly.

“I’m okay. “Really.”

It’s for our happiness. For that purpose, killing evildoers every day is not difficult at all. As long as I could see Luna’s happy smile, everything would be fine.

But it looks like my answer didn’t completely erase Luna’s worries. Luna looked at me with a serious face as if she was about to swear, she said.

“I mean it when I say I’m only nice to Ross. Because I will act like that from now on. Even if everyone in the world turns their back on Ross… Even if Ross makes a wrong choice, makes a mistake, or fails, I will unconditionally be on his side.”

This isn’t just something you say when you’re drunk in love. The sincerity in Luna’s eyes makes it clear that her words are sincere. So I inadvertently gave a stupid answer.

“Isn’t it possible that you can know how I feel like Bella?”

Luna blinked at the meaningless words. I deliberately narrowed my eyes as if in doubt.

“Seeing that you always tell me what I need when I need it… “I have no choice but to doubt it?”

Luna sighed lightly at my joke and ruffled the back of my hair.

“Because I always want to help Ross.”

“Is that why you always speak nicely?”

At my immediate response, Luna smiled pleasantly and leaned her face into the crook of my neck. And then he muttered quietly.

“Because I always want to be loved by Ross.”

After those words, I couldn’t hold back any longer. As my hand slowly moved downward, Luna’s eyes met mine. The moment our hearts coincided, we passionately locked lips without even having to say who went first.

A few hours later, we had a late dinner at a nice restaurant we had reserved. Without Modest’s help, it would have been impossible to make a restaurant reservation on the day of the coronation ceremony.

I left the restaurant just in time for the final portal to Star Fallen, held Luna’s hand, and headed to the portal station.

When Luna arrived at the entrance waiting line, she let go of the hand she was holding and turned around to hug me tightly. I also hugged Luna tightly, filled with regret.

“Come back quickly. “I’ll be waiting for each day like it’s been years.”

Luna looked up at me from inside her arms and made a lovely expression. But little by little, her blue eyes as she looked at me began to become watery. It seems like Luna, like me, is not used to being separated.

Luna, who had been looking at me for a moment and pursed her lips, then pursed her lips.

“… Thank you always. For loving me with more sincerity than I could have ever imagined, for making me happier than anyone I know. So, I will try really hard too. “So that I can give back as much love as she received from Ross.”

Luna slightly raised her head, overlapped her lips, and whispered softly.

“I will always walk with Ross.”

At those words, I smiled brightly, as was my habit. It was my smile that only Luna could see. It was a smile that I couldn’t imitate even if I tried to make it in the mirror.

“love you. forever.”

There must have been a better answer. But that was all that was on my mind right now. Instead of answering, Luna leaned her face against my chest.

Following the guide’s instructions to enter the portal, Luna left my arms and walked behind the people waiting in line. She then turned her body and spoke to me just before she disappeared completely.

“Ross, I love you more than anything in the world!”

It was a voice so loud that I couldn’t normally hear it, so much so that it echoed off the walls. Luna, not caring about the happy looks of the people who witnessed her young lover’s breakup, only looked straight at me and smiled the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

“always.”

In the following words, I had no choice but to become the happiest man in the world. To Luna, who couldn’t see her behind the wall, I gave an answer that couldn’t be conveyed too late.

“… Yes, always.”

***

At approximately 01:40 a.m. on January 21, 623, Imperial Calendar, a citizen discovered a carriage overturned on Street 13 in Star Fallen. It is believed that the carriage departed from the Star Fallen Portal Station and was heading to the Grace family mansion.

Coachman Kelton (43) – the Grace family’s exclusive coachman with 18 years of experience – broke his neck and died on the spot, and the body of Luna Grace (21) – a student at Transcendence Academy and the youngest daughter of the Grace family – was found inside the carriage.

As a result of the investigation team’s investigation, it appears that the shock at the time of the accident was avoided thanks to the anti-shock artifact installed inside the carriage, but there were traces of forced entry from the outside on the carriage door.

Luna Grace’s body had defensive marks all over her body due to intense resistance, and it is presumed that she died from multiple fractures and cerebral hemorrhage. The street where the carriage overturned was a place with frequent traffic, but no one made any noise or witnessed anything.

Kelton’s body was handed over to the investigation team for examination, and an autopsy was performed, and nothing special was found. Luna Grace’s body was handed over to the family.

Luna Grace’s funeral will be held quietly with family and friends in attendance.
