Aslan decided she was going to spend the day with Juven because she was going to leave soon.

‘Diet also has its fruits, but my biggest achievement is Juven.’

Juven, the future tyrant and murderer, has been following her for a long time since his character has been dealt with.

Of course, the retorts were still sour, but it was a great development compared to their first meeting.

‘It’s changed a lot, but…… I’m going to leave soon, I’m still happy to have been with you regardless of that.’

Aslan in her past life didn’t have an older sister, an older brother, or a younger brother.

For her, who is still an only child now, really felt like she has her own little brother after being with Juven.

‘Should I ask him to sleep together it’s the last time after all? I think his sleeping face would also look very cute.’

He will probably say no, but will he listen if I insist?

But there was no one in Juven’s room.

“Huh? Where did he go?”

I’m sure you were always reading books at this hour?

All the books were neatly inserted into the bookshelf, and the room was in order.

‘Wait. The flowers are also gone?”

The blue rose that was always decorated the window disappeared.

There’s just an empty vase.

Leaving the room, Aslan asked the servants where Juven went.

“He probably went there.”

“There?”

After listening to the servants, Aslan came out.

The servants said that today was the late Marchioness’s birthday.

‘They said there was a grave on the hill beyond the backyard, right?’

Maybe Juven is there.

Maybe the blue rose disappeared because he brought it to dedicate it to his mother.

“Oh, I’m tired.”

The hill wasn’t very high. It was just right behind the mansion, and it was easy to find because she already saw it several times while walking.

However, walking uphill was too much for Aslan who lacked stamina.

‘This feels like walking up a mountain, not a hill.’

I really need to improve my stamina.

How much have I walked already? I can already see the summit.

‘There he is.’

The top of the hill was in full bloom of blue roses.

And in the middle, there Juven stood in front of a tomb.

It was a beautiful sight, but something seemed strange.

‘Wait, what is that….?’

Right in front of Juven.

There was something on the grave.

As I got closer, I could see what it was.

‘Mo, monster!’

A body with bumps like a toad.

At over 2 meters tall, the darkened skin smelled exactly like its appearance.

The monster, looked down at Juven with purple eyes and raised its arms.

‘No way, Juven.’

The monster’s fingernails grew long in an instant, emitting light as sharp as a knife.

The moment Aslan found the figure, she stopped walking.

‘It’s, it’s dangerous!’

For 0.1 second she hesitated.

Juven is the final boss of the future.

If the boy dies now from the monster, one big problem in the future will disappear.

But it was literally just a thought that came into her mind for a moment.

Her anger quickly turned that thought into dust.

‘No!’

Rather than fearing whether the future will come or not, memories of the past month she spent with Juven took over.

The boy who was always bothered by her had a sour expression.

The who boy still took a walk with her until the end, even though he said he didn’t like it.

The boy who thanked me for complimenting a blue rose.

The boy who would get embarrassed by his words, that dyed his neck and ears red.

“Juven!”

The boy who she now sees as her own little brother.

Aslan ran to save him.

I was already out of breath, but I didn’t care about that.

Her knees and ankles were already sore from the sudden running, but she didn’t care.

There’s only one thing that’s important now to her.

Only the thought of saving Juven filled her mind.

Just as she was about to reach Juven, the monster cried out in a bizarre voice.

The noise, as if the dead from hell were crying, scared Aslan for a moment, but she managed to move and get to Juven’s side.

‘We need to run away.’

Her legs were no longer moving.

The moment she ran all the way up to this point, not only her stamina, but her legs were also shaken.

Although she held Juven’s hand, she could not run away with it.

‘Juven.’

The boy was silent.

Is he afraid? Trembling, his empty eyes were turned to somewhere.

His hands seemed a little hot, but I didn’t have time to think about it anymore.

‘No, I can’t run away.’

At that moment, the monster threw his arm down.

There’s only one option for Aslan to choose from.

“It’s dangerous!”

Aslan wrapped her body around Juven to take the monster’s attack with her body.

***

“Even if I’m not here anymore, you need to live strong, Juven.”

Half a year ago.

Those were the last words left by his dead mother.

The words stuck in the heart of the young boy and did not disappear even after some time passed.

At first, he couldn’t understand the words.

He’s been stuck in his room for months, spending time alone.

The time spent alone was not due to deep agony and reflection, but just a child who didn’t want to admit reality.

‘Mother……”

Juven spent more time with his mother than with his father.

From the moment he was born, the clever child who realized that his mother’s body was weak was always clinging to her.

“Mom.”

“Come here Juven, really, why is my son so cute.”

As if I instinctively knew that I had to spend a longer time with her

The time was not long, and the day we lost her came quickly.

‘It’s all because of me. It’s because you gave birth to me.’

Children are more sensitive to their surroundings than adults think.

The whispers of the gossip-loving servants thought that Juven would still know nothing, so even though the boy wasn’t far away they would still talk about it.

He picked up all the gossip and realized that his mother’s body had become weaker because of him.

And in the end, Juven, who suffered the consequences, was forced to close the door of his heart.

‘If only I wasn’t born. My mother…… she wouldn’t have died.’

If I had died instead.

The image of his father grieving without a word was too unbearable for Juven, and he was overwhelmed by his grief.

Yeah, if I had died instead.

No, if I wasn’t born at all.

My dad and mom could have been living happily.

Blame, shame, and sadness swirled and sucked the boy in, but his mother’s last will pulled him out of it.

‘I need to live strong……?’

After barely coming to his senses and leaving the room, the thought did not go out of his mind.

What does it mean to live strong?

Since she was a weak mother, did she mean for me to live healthily?

Even though he was still young, the clever boy found the hidden meaning in the words.

‘It must have meant that both my body and mind should live strong.’

I understand now.

He knew, but the sensibility of a young boy has not yet been able to accept it.

‘How can I make my mind stronger?’

It was easy to strengthen the body. A lot of books and family-guarding knights told me.

It was possible to create a well-trained and healthy body that could live a lifetime unless it was too weak.

‘But…… How can the mind become strong?’

There were also ways to train the mind written in the books.

‘But it was all full of floating on clouds. There was no way to properly implement anything.’

Keep peace of mind, always think positively.

How on earth can you train your mind with those things?

No matter how much I read, no matter how hard I thought about it, no answer came out.

That’s when Aslan came.

‘Fat. You don’t look healthy at all.’

Juven no longer wanted to be associated with weak people.

Even if the person gets better, if he or she is weak, they may suddenly leave him as his mother did.

Such trauma was left in the boy, but Aslan was a little different.

‘You’re taking another walk.’

Reading books every day, sometimes he would look out the window and see Aslan.

She looked like a fool when she took a walk with her arms waving back and forth.

‘If you really want to lose weight, run. Why are you walking? Isn’t it normal to exercise harder?’

For a boy who was ignorant about dieting, Aslan’s behavior seemed only to be a struggle of a lazy person.

So he ignored her. I don’t wanna be involved around someone who doesn’t work hard and is not healthy.

The weak die quickly.

You’ll be gone in a minute

But Aslan refused to give up.

‘I can’t believe I lost! That’s outrageous!’

It was a huge humiliation to be defeated just by tickling, and not violence.

But it didn’t feel bad.

How much would it take be to be in contact with someone? Juven liked the warmth he had felt after a long time.

And when Aslan told me that the blue rose was pretty, at that moment I felt the door open to her.

‘But you’re leaving tomorrow?’

I’ve opened my heart, but you’re already leaving. I know it’s inevitable because it was a fixed schedule from the beginning.

I know I have to let her go, but Juven with a sense of regret couldn’t.

‘She’s leaving.’

I hope you don’t go. Such childish thoughts kept springing up.

To soothe it, he visited his mother’s grave.

It was mother’s birthday just in time, so he came with a blue rose.

‘Mom, I’m not strong yet.’

Both my body and mind are still weak.

That’s why it hurts like this.

If it were strong, it wouldn’t hurt this much.

At that moment, Juven’s body began to boil like a ball of fire.

“······!”

The mana core suddenly came.

Like Aslan, his mana corr came much earlier than the expected age.

“Ugh!”

Juven’s mana core was different from Aslan’s. A greater and more intense heat and mana came out of the boy’s body.

And the mana is not the normal magic power, but dark magic.

It was such a rare mana, that it caused abnormalities due to the lack of proper information.
