Chapter 113 – As You Wish
The tomb of Garius, the champion of Solari, was located not far from the Shadow Forest.
If you head northwest along the outskirts of the Shadow Forest, you will come across a basin called the ‘Star Graveyard’. As its name suggests, it was created when a large meteorite struck a long time ago.
Between the Jainan Canyon and the Shadow Forest.
Uther, who was flying on Phantom Steed, suddenly looked up at the night sky.
A night with a white moon.
It was a half moon, not a full moon, but there were so many stars that it was almost like a substitute.
‘Sea of stars.’
Alexei was a chess master and a book lover.
He loved to talk about things that were not even asked about, and one thing he talked about most often was stars.
‘Of course, the constellations are different.’
By the way, what about the Pleiades constellation?
Before awakening his memories of his past life, Yuder himself was not very interested in stars. The cold night air was like poison to his past self, who was no exaggeration in saying that he was the embodiment of weakness.
Still, there were a few things I knew.
The story of the constellations that Maya used to read to me at bedtime.
The positions of the stars were revealed to me by looking at the night sky through the window.
“What are you thinking about?”
At the sweet voice heard from behind him, Yuder suddenly smiled playfully and said.
“Thinking of Maya.”
I couldn’t see it, but I could tell.
Cordelia pouts and rolls her eyes.
Although he thought he would be cuter if he teased her about being jealous, Uder tried to suppress himself. Instead, he put his hand gently over the back of Cordelia’s hand that was wrapped around his waist and said something else.
“Have you ever seen stars?”
“I’m watching it now.”
“Not with your eyes. With something like a telescope.”
“Before… So are you talking about a past life?”
“Well… I guess so?”
“No. I’ve never actually seen anything like an astronomical telescope. What about you, Yuder?”
“I am.”
When I was with Alexei, I looked at the stars through a reconnaissance telescope.
After I retired, I bought an expensive astronomical telescope and kept it in my room.
“The stars aren’t very visible in Seoul.”
“I lived in Seoul.”
“you?”
“Me too, Seoul.”
Talk about past lives has always been limited.
As time passed and the memories of my present life became stronger, I talked less about my past life, but it was also because there were things that were painful to recall or think about.
‘Like your parents.’
Uther himself was fine.
In reality, he was an orphan, and his only father figure, Alexei, had already passed away in his previous life.
But it wasn’t Cordelia.
parents.
Friends.
Any brothers or sisters you may have.
What happened to them all?
Check the rankings together in the chat room, chat, and then log out.
That was the end of it.
The memories of my previous life were cut off there.
What followed was the present life that was reborn in the Pleiades and has continued until now.
The reason why the memory was cut off.
Did Uther himself and Cordelia die then?
And if he died, why did he die?
There were a few more possibilities.
For example, not only Uther himself and Cordelia, but the world itself was destroyed.
Or maybe the life after that continued, but you can only remember up to that point among the memories of your previous life.
There were many hypotheses, but none of them were put into words.
I didn’t want to make things difficult for Cordelia for no reason.
“But Yuder.”
“Oh, Cordelia.”
Cordelia wiggled her fingers and leaned in a little closer. Today, for some reason, she continued talking in a way she usually didn’t.
“Where in Seoul were you?”
“Are you talking about the neighborhood?”
“Yeah, I used to live in Sangam-dong. Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu. Do you know where it is?”
“I know. How could you not know? There are so many broadcasting stations, right?”
“Huh? Have you ever been here?”
“Yeah. Me too······.”
“You too?”
“Because I lived there.”
“uh?”
“I lived there. Sangam-dong.”
At Uther’s words, Cordelia opened her eyes wide and then blinked.
“Really?”
“Oh, really.”
“Wow, my goodness. We’re in the same neighborhood?”
“Sangam-dong is big.”
“It’s wide. But still.”
Cordelia, shaking her body slightly excitedly, hugged Uther tightly again and asked.
“Hey, where did you live then? What was the name of your apartment?”
“Is this a census?”
“I’m curious. Maybe they were neighbors?”
“···XXX Apartment.”
“omg.”
“why?”
“No, I live in XXX Apartment too.”
Uther stopped Phantom Steed. He twisted his body to look at Cordelia, who was sticking close to his back without realizing it.
“How many complexes?”
“Complex 3.”
“crazy.”
I found myself cursing – no, exclamations – out loud. I couldn’t help it.
“What, really?”
Uther didn’t answer Cordelia’s question, but it was obvious by now.
Cordelia hugged Yuder a little tighter, trying to calm her heart that was pounding without her knowing it.
At that, my heart started beating even faster, but I felt better. I said with a slightly trembling voice.
“Hey, Yuder. Should we stop here?”
“You’re not even going to reveal which dong it is?”
“Should I, should I?”
Yuder felt a strong temptation to ask the cautious question, but he resisted for the time being.
Because if we exposed ourselves here, we would be able to fully know each other’s past lives.
‘but······.’
So is there any reason why it shouldn’t be done?
I was afraid that Cordelia would be tormented by memories of her past life too strongly, but other than that······.
“I lived in building 306. You?”
As expected, Cordelia.
Uder laughed in vain at the confession that came without a blink.
“I… I think I know who you are.”
“Me, me too.”
If you live in the same neighborhood, you’re bound to see each other at least once, whether you like it or not.
By putting together the stories of past lives that had been exchanged piecemeal, it was not a problem to figure out who each of them was.
“Really… I guess fate is fate.”
“I know.”
It turns out that our bond wasn’t just in games.
I never thought we’d be neighbors like this in our past lives.
fate.
A relationship that is destined to meet again.
“I thought he was a cool and handsome guy with a good vibe.”
As Cordelia muttered softly, Uther narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“Did you do it?”
“No, well… he’s cool and handsome, but… I never thought he’d be so childish that he’d go around bragging about how bad he is at games….”
“Hey, I thought you were a really nice and pretty girl, too? And quiet?”
“Why, that’s right. A kind and pretty girl. Wasn’t I pretty?”
When Cordelia asked shamelessly, Uther didn’t know what expression to make.
So, I tried to counterattack as soon as I could.
“I didn’t know you were a kid who lived with a dick in your mouth.”
“Hey, what the fuck······.”
“Yeah, this is an exclamation, right?”
When Uther winked, Cordelia puffed out her cheeks once, then hugged Uther again and said.
“But Yuder.”
“Oh, Cordelia.”
“Since this is a past life, I will call you oppa.”
Because we’re the same age now that we’re reincarnated.
“Yeah, I think I’d feel weird if I heard you call me oppa too. I like it now.”
“Really? Really? Yes? Brother Yuder?”
It was an incredibly pitiful attack.
Because of that, Uther tried hard to ignore Cordelia, and Cordelia, who was excited, tried to act cute several more times.
“It’s been a while.”
“what.”
“No, just. Just the two of us hanging out like this.”
It was almost like a past life – we had been neighbors and cousins, but it didn’t feel like it was that new.
It’s been 18 years already in the Pleiades, and more than a year since I awakened my memories.
That’s why I remembered more recent events than the distant past – 18 years ago.
The first time we ran away together and traveled north.
A story of a time when I went into the wild land and wandered all over the place.
“That’s right. Since I entered the empire, I’ve always been with someone.”
It had been a long time since we had traveled entirely for just the two of us.
And after this was over, they probably wouldn’t have time alone together again for a while.
Because the war will start in earnest.
“War… is finally happening.”
A civil war in the empire between the Emperor’s faction and the Prime Minister’s faction.
It wasn’t something like a minor local war.
It was a great war, with tens of thousands of people fighting against each other, and perhaps the entire empire being swept up in the war.
“Still, it’s a lot better than the original. We’ll make it even better in the future.”
“I know.”
Cordelia nodded quietly. Instead of thinking more depressing thoughts, she smelled Yuder again and looked down at her feet.
“Hey, Yuder.”
“Oh, Cordelia.”
“Should we… take a rest there and then?”
It was late at night and there was a good place to be.
As he listened to the excuses that followed, Uder looked down. He saw a small, half-ruined church on a hilltop bathed in moonlight.
“Oh, over there.”
It was my first time seeing it in real life, but it was a place I knew from Heroes Chronicle 2.
‘It was a church of the Eros cult, wasn’t it?’
A group that worships Eros, the archangel of love, who has now disappeared.
“Then shall we rest there and then go?”
“Yeah, let’s take a break over there.”
It was nothing special, just something they did every day while traveling, but both of their voices trembled slightly.
No, I should say it’s awkward.
‘Let’s take a break.’
Uther, mumbling words of strange magic to himself, drove Phantom Steed towards the church.
&
“Well, good. It’s clean.”
It was a church that had been neglected for a long time and was covered in dust, but it held magic for Uther and Cordelia.
After sweeping it with a waterfall and drying it – and using the Clean magic again, a worn but clean place was created.
“It’s small, but there’s a bathroom. I can eat and wash up.”
After checking the bathtub that appeared to be used by priests of the Eros cult, Yuder first prepared the bed.
‘Since we’ve come to a place with a roof······.’
Instead of spreading out the coziness of a square meter, Yuder took out a lot of leather from the space expansion pocket, layered it on the floor, and then took out cushions and blankets and spread them out.
I felt it was quite realistic, with candles lit here and there to provide lighting.
Thick darkness and silence.
The starlight streaming in through the window and the candles illuminating the surroundings with a pitiful light.
Uder, who swallowed dry saliva without realizing it, lit a fire a little way away from the bed and placed a pot on it. It was to prepare dinner.
“Hey, Yuder.”
“Oh, Cordelia.”
“Do you want to eat ramen today?”
Because there is no Netflix.
Uther tilted his head slightly at Cordelia’s last words, which she muttered quietly, but soon expressed his agreement.
“Okay, let’s eat it today. Let’s see how good you are.”
Because it was Cordelia who always talked about ramen.
Yuder took out the fried ramen he had made himself and various ingredients and laid them out.
“Can I leave it to you?”
“Yeah, leave it to me. You’re going to be surprised.”
Cordelia laughed and started boiling ramen right away, but she seemed to be paying close attention to the water level.
‘What happens next… I’ll just beat them all up.’
Still, it was ramen that Cordelia cooked.
Uther, whose heart was pounding for no reason, sat quietly and watched what Cordelia was doing.
“It’s done.”
After about 5 minutes, Cordelia put the ramen in a bowl and looked back at Yuder with a satisfied expression, and Yuder picked up his chopsticks.
“Then shall we try it?”
Instead of responding to Uther’s words, Cordelia gulped. Her shoulders were stiff, as if she was slightly nervous.
And one bite.
Cordelia swallowed dryly again, and Uther admitted.
“it’s good.”
“Right? It’s delicious? It’s incredibly delicious.”
“Oh, it’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
“Hehe, I told you, it’s super delicious. I’m really good at making ramen.”
“Okay, you eat quickly too. I’ll burn all the ramen.”
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s eat together.”
Cordelia shrugged happily and started eating her share of ramen.
A few more minutes like that.
After finishing eating and cleaning up the ramen, Uder and Cordelia looked at each other again.
awkwardness.
No, it’s a strange tension.
“that······.”
“uh······.”
“You speak first.”
“No, you first.”
“Um… should I wash? Uh, no. Not should I wash? I’ll wash first. No. You wash first. Yeah, you wash first.”
“Is that so?”
Everyday conversation.
A story we’ve always told.
But Cordelia blushed deeply, and Uther coughed in vain.
“Ahem, then first.”
“Uh, yeah. You first.”
As Cordelia twirled her hair with her fingers, Uther stood up awkwardly for some reason and hurriedly left the room.
And maybe 10 minutes had passed.
“You wash up.”
“Huh? Huh?”
Yuder, who had just washed up, was wearing only pants.
That is, she took off her top and revealed her firm chest, broad shoulders, and slender waist with engraved abs.
And slightly wet hair.
Cordelia, who had been staring at Uther with a blank expression without realizing it, quickly got up and left the room.
And then another 30 minutes later.
Yuder swallowed, wondering alone and anxiously whether he should ask her why she wasn’t coming and if something had happened.
Cordelia came in, her face flushed red, wiping her wet hair with a towel.
If you can just blow away the moisture with magic, why is your hair wet?
No, that wasn’t the point.
Cordelia in a breezy, comfortable, and airy pink nightgown.
“Wow, is the water nice?”
“Oh, that was good.”
In fact, it was water created by magic, as always, so where could there be such good things?
But Uther and Cordelia said so, and they sympathized with each other.
“Ahem.”
Cordelia, who had coughed for no reason, came and sat down next to Uther. Perhaps because she had just taken a bath, the scent of the shampoo mixed with Cordelia’s body odor gave off a sweet scent.
And the heartbeat.
Because it was quiet, the beating of our hearts could be heard clearly because we were both superhumans.
Cordelia took several long breaths and rolled her eyes.
I didn’t notice it when I came in, but now I’m somehow becoming aware of it – the sacred paintings and sculptures of Eros, the Archangel of Love, kept catching my eye.
And then one moment.
Cordelia flinched.
Because Yuder’s hand was overlapped over his own.
As always, Yuder’s big hands.
Before she could do anything, Uther’s hand completely took control of Cordelia’s own hand. He held it tightly, preventing her from moving.
Gulp again.
Cordelia swallowed dry saliva and turned her head slightly, letting out a ragged breath.
I saw Yuder.
Her face was flushed and she looked a little awkward, like Cordelia herself, but her green eyes were different. Instead of her usual mysteriousness, there was a strong desire.
They naturally kissed each other.
Once lightly, then once deeply and strongly.
This time, Yuder’s large hand hugged her waist, then reached a little higher.
Cordelia let out a hot breath. She felt her body heating up and focused on Uther’s touch.
Uther grabbed Cordelia’s neck and collarbone together. As he gently pressed the painful area and moved his hand to the side, the originally loose-fitting nightgown slipped away, revealing her white shoulders.
Falling was inevitable.
Cordelia’s red hair spread across the white blanket, and Uther’s shadow covered her.
Cordelia knew.
That we won’t stop here today.
That I don’t want to stop.
So I reached out.
He gently caressed Yuder’s cheek, who was waiting for his answer with some hesitation.
Keep going.
Don’t stop.
I didn’t necessarily say it out loud.
Uder’s hand followed.
More than half of her pajamas were removed, and her beautiful white body was revealed under the dim candlelight.
Uther let out a ragged breath.
Cordelia was slightly frightened by his usually irrational appearance, but soon smiled.
Because it was Yuder.
Because it was Yuder who I loved so much.
“Hey, Yuder.”
He spoke softly. He caressed Yuder’s cheek, who was flinching, and continued speaking in a slightly smaller voice than before, his voice trembling shyly.
“I’ve never done it before, so I don’t know.”
therefore.
I don’t know very well.
“I’ll leave it up to you. Do whatever you want.”
As you wish.
Cordelia bit her lip slightly. She was so embarrassed by what she had said that she wanted to hide somewhere. Her face was so hot that it was painful.
But it was the same for Uder too.
He swallowed dry saliva with a completely red face and raised his upper body.
Instead of saying anything, he loosened his belt.
Cordelia closed her eyes quickly. No, she didn’t need to close them, but she did so without realizing it.
The sound of clothes flowing down was heard, and Cordelia flinched again. She mustered up her courage and slowly opened her eyes.
Uther was standing.
And underneath, the truly enormous······.
“uh?”
Wait. Wait, wait.
What is that? It’s different from what I saw in the book. Really? Really real?
But Cordelia’s confusion did not last long, because even greater confusion filled her mind.
“There is no slacking off.”
Cordelia swallowed her breath at the firm whispering in her ear. She tried to continue speaking, but it was difficult.
Uther’s lips covered Cordelia’s.
It left me speechless.
