Afterword: Perticia Yves Al Reuben (Part 2)
6.
After winning a prize in the lights out game.
Ulan and Perticia wandered the festival streets for a long time afterwards. The two’s tireless activities came to an end only late at night.
“Phew, it’s a bit difficult now.”
Well, that would be worth it.
After escaping the imperial castle, I’ve been wandering around since it’s already past midnight. After a while, the two sat down on a quiet hill outside the capital.
“Then shall we go back soon?”
“no! “She just said it was hard, but she never said she wanted to go back.”
Perticia made a sullen expression.
As if complaining. Then, something suddenly occurred to me and I opened my eyes.
“ah! “Are you tired too?”
“Nothing in particular.”
“That’s too bad. When she said she was tired, she tried to sing to her. Hehehe, of course I’ll call you even if you say you’re not tired.”
Perticia finished answering as she pleased and got up from her seat. She then took a deep breath and pursed her lips.
After a while, the wind that entered her lungs changed into the form of a song and flowed out.
“────.”
A song that resonates softly.
Soon the spirits appeared one by one. They danced with Perticia at the center, creating a dreamlike situation.
A scenery that looks like something out of a fairy tale book.
As I looked at this, I felt like the slight fatigue that had accumulated in my body was being washed away. It was a special ability of Perticia’s song.
After some time has passed.
“… … “How was it?”
After finishing the song, Perticia glanced at Ulan as if asking for his thoughts. In response, Ulan gave her honest impressions along with some light applause.
“You still sing well.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
Perticia smiled with an embarrassed expression and sat down next to Ulan with a lighter step. She said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
“I guess I should thank Ibella.”
“hmm? Ibella?”
“Whether I like it or not, it’s thanks to him that I get to spend this time with Ulan.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is such a thing.”
Perticia smiled sheepishly and gave a vague answer. Then, all of a sudden, she grabbed Ulan’s arm and pressed his face against her.
“Anyway, I want to ask you something.”
“… … ?”
“What exactly happened with Ibella in the survival test? ah! “I want to hear what happened when Delia and I went to the Principality of Arpen.”
Eyes that somehow feel persistent.
I don’t know why I was suddenly curious about that, but Ulan obediently explained the situation at the time.
After a while, towards the end of the story, Perticia looked quite uncomfortable.
“Wow, everyone made good memories.”
“is it?”
“yes! So, make it with me too. “It’s a great memory that can’t be compared to the other two!”
A voice as if burning with determination.
Ulan pointed to the festival street.
“Isn’t this enough?”
They secretly escaped from the imperial castle and enjoyed the festival together. Isn’t this a good memory? When I asked that question, the answer was immediately negative.
“no! “That alone is not enough.”
“Then what do you want?”
“You just need one.”
Perticia raised her finger.
“Do not worry. “Unlike other kids, I tend to be less greedy.”
“Is that so?”
“is it so. “I don’t want anything big.”
A smile that is flawless and pure.
However, the words that came out next were quite far from pure.
“Let’s make a baby with me.”
“… … “He said he didn’t want anything big.”
“huh? “The baby isn’t big, right?”
Did size refer to body size?
Ulan looked at Perticia with his mouth tightly closed. Because she didn’t know what she should say.
Meanwhile, Perticia, smiling shyly, reached out and pushed Ulan’s shoulder. Then she climbed on top of Ulan’s body.
“So, lie down quickly.”
Perticia spoke in a whisper and brushed her slightly flowing hair past her ear. She then looked Ulan in the eye and she smiled.
“Because we’re going to make a baby from now on.”
After the shocking declaration.
Perticia, smiling brightly, buried her face in Ulan’s arms. Not long after that, the two shadows overlapped into one.

How long has it been like that?

Time to pass through the night and head towards dawn.
Ulan lay down on the hill and looked up at the night sky. Then, she softly called the name of the girl lying next to her.
“… … “Perticia.”
“why?”
“What are you doing now?”
“Are you making a baby?”
Perticia asks as if asking something so obvious. She made an embarrassed expression, but then she stretched out her arms and hugged Ulan’s body.
“In the past, because I didn’t know much, I believed that if you hold hands with someone of the opposite sex, you will have a baby. But recently I realized that’s not the case.”
“What did you realize?”
“The real way to make a baby is to cuddle with someone of the opposite sex for a long time!”
A surprising answer came back.
Ulan looked at her in bewilderment, but Perticia seemed not to have noticed this and just laughed.
“Lord Saxony, the maids, and the spirits all said the same thing, so it’s really accurate this time.”
“… … .”
Ulan closed his mouth.
It was only then that it occurred to me. Perticia, who has been locked in a cage called the imperial castle for over a dozen years, lacks basic sexual knowledge.
I think there was a similar situation last year when I visited the fountain of magic with her. Ulan sighed as she recalled her memories of that time.
“Perticia, the baby… … .”
It doesn’t happen just by embracing it.
The moment when I was about to continue speaking to tell her the truth, with words that denied her common sense.
Ulan closed his mouth again.
This was because the spirits surrounding them all shook their heads in unison. Moreover, he even glared at Ulan with menacing eyes.
As if he would not tolerate nonsense.
“huh? “What were you trying to say?”
“… … It is nothing.”
Ulan silently shook his head at Perticia, who asked in a puzzled tone. He decided that there was no benefit in incurring the spirit’s wrath.
Some time after that.
After some time had passed while I was being held by Perticia, she spoke again.
“Ulan?”
“why?”
“Are we going to have a baby soon?”
Could it have happened?
I wanted to say that, but if I did, I would face the wrath of the spirits. Ulan eventually gave an ambiguous answer.
“Honestly, I don’t know.”
“Right? So, it would be better to just hold on to it until morning.”
Perticia hugs Ulan even tighter.
Seeing the smile blooming on my face, it seems like having a baby wasn’t that important of a problem.
“Why are you smiling like that?”
“Hehe, I like it so much. That’s because until last spring, I never imagined that I would be able to escape the imperial castle like this.”
A bird in a cage.
This was the most representative word used to refer to Perticia in her past life, and before they were reunited at the Academy last year.
But it’s different now.
A bird that is usually in a cage, but can escape whenever it wants. That is what refers to the current Perticia.
“Ever since I met Ulan, and even more so since I defeated Abyss, I feel happy and satisfied every day. “Except one.”
“What is that?”
“There is no Ulan by my side. “If only that were met, it would be perfect.”
She regained her appetite as if she was disappointed.
Perticia let out a small sigh, glanced at Ulan out of the corner of her eye and spoke to him.
“Why don’t you just choose me now? Then the empire will fall into Ulan hands.”
“There is no particular need.”
“Ugh, why!”
“Because I’ve already experienced it in my past life. “I will live this life for what I want.”
In his past life, the Ulan conquered the grasslands and further united all the tribes into one.
Of course, it could not be compared to the empire, but since I had sat in the seat of a ruler before, I did not want to follow the same path in this life.
“Then what should I do so that you can stay by my side?”
“It’s okay if you don’t do anything.”
“But then you won’t be around!”
Perticia frowned.
Questions and answers that are repeated like a round trip table.
Ulan, who thought for a moment as she continued to stubbornly persist, soon thought of the best answer.
“I can’t always be by your side. But I can promise you this one thing.”
“Hmph, what?”
“If you tell me you need help, I will come to you wherever and whenever I am. As always, even if I fall into the abyss again.”
Ulan answers with a serious face.
Then Perticia, who had a sullen expression on her face the whole time, looked at him blankly. Then she frowned and muttered.
“… … It’s disgusting. “If you say something like that, you can’t continue to be stubborn.”
“Then that’s a good thing.”
Ulan burst into laughter.
Because I felt that the conversation that had been repeated over and over again was coming to an end. Of course, even if I hadn’t given this answer, the conversation would have ended soon anyway.
“huh? Ulan? What’s wrong?”
At that time, Perticia spoke.
This was because Ulan, who burst out laughing once, straightened up and looked around.
After a while, the answer came back.
“It feels like we’re surrounded.”
“yes?”
Surrounded? To whom?
When doubt appeared in bright red eyes.
Suddenly something leapt out from the shadows. A strange being with the face of a young Perticia.
It was the spirit of the abyss.
“I’m sorry, Perticia. “I got caught.”
It was a short message of just a few words, but its meaning was simple and clear. The moment when Perticia’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.
“… … Princess.”
An eerie sound struck my ears.
A voice came from the head of the knights surrounding the hill. It was the voice of Saxony, the imperial sword that guarded Perticia.
“Now it’s time to go back.”
A situation where terrifying nagging is expected.
Perticia’s face turned pale.
8.
Late morning.
After returning to the castle, Saxony’s nagging hit Perticia like a bomb.
The nagging, which was joined by the maids, did not end until morning, and Perticia, who had been tormented continuously, collapsed from exhaustion.
“Ugh, I can’t get up.”
Perticia lies down in tears.
After a while, she looked at Ulan apologetically for nagging her.
“I’m sorry, Ulan. “Because of me, they nag me and they can’t even eat the royal cuisine.”
“Okay. Still, it was fun.”
“Uh, I’m glad you said that, but… … .”
Perticia trailed off.
After thinking for a moment, she widened her eyes as if a good idea suddenly occurred to her.
“ah! How about we stay here until the day after tomorrow and then go? “It’s the weekend anyway.”
“You can’t do that. “I promised.”
“yes? If it’s a promise… … ?”
To her question with a puzzled look, Ulan revealed the promise he had made with Ibella before coming to the Imperial Palace yesterday.
Some time after that.
Perticia’s face scrunched up.
“… … As expected, I can’t just look at it. “I never thought he could predict my actions and prepare for them.”
“prediction? prepare?”
“Ahaha, it’s nothing. It’s okay to say I’m a minister today, but I’ll formally invite you again soon. “Let’s eat the mountain and sea food then.”
“Yes, I look forward to it.”
Ulan chuckled and left the northern garden that way. After returning to the imperial castle, Pertichia’s scribbled assignment was also in her hands, so she planned to return to the academy.
But then.
“Ulan!”
Perticia came running from afar.
She narrowed the gap like a nimble rabbit and immediately hugged Ulan’s body and smiled brightly.
“There’s something I forgot to say.”
“what?”
“It’s the Jangsaengjong appeal.”
“… … ?”
What does this mean out of nowhere?
When Ulan asked with a puzzled expression, Perticia answered in a whisper.
“I am half human and half spirit. “They live much longer than humans and age slowly.”
“What are you suddenly saying…” … .”
“I just wanted to say that Delia is not the only long-lived species.”
Ulan’s eyes widened at the words that came back.
This topic was a conversation I had with Delia alone in the Principality of Arpen during summer vacation. But how does Perticia know this?
The moment when doubt suddenly arose.
‘… … ah.’
I realized the correct answer late.
A spirit wrapped around Perticia. If we borrow their power, physical distance would be meaningless.
It was around this time that I realized something new.
“See you later, Ulan.”
Perticia took a step back and waved her hand with a smiling face. After some time, when he left the imperial castle, Perticia’s shadow suddenly appeared.
It was the spirit of the abyss.
“I really can’t understand humans.”
“Yes? what?”
“Can’t we all just date Ulan? Why compete with something that can be easily solved… … .”
“No, I absolutely don’t like that.”
At that moment, Perticia interrupted the Spirit of the Abyss and muttered an answer.
She turned her body diagonally, looked in the direction of the academy, and continued speaking.
“It may be a peaceful way, but then we have to share Ulan’s love. “I can’t give them even the smallest amount of love.”
A voice as cold as ice.
With a cold look in her eyes, Perticia pulled out a little of the blade of determination she had been holding in her heart.
“So when I become emperor, I will also ban polygamy. Even the royal family and great nobles, without exception, can only have one companion.”
“What if I don’t get chosen?”
“Hehe, that will never happen.”
After bursting into light laughter.
Perticia said with confidence.
“I will make you choose me no matter what.”
By all means, by all means.
After making a confident declaration, Perticia’s eyes lit up as she looked in the direction where Ulan had disappeared.
Blazing red eyes.
Beyond that, there was obsession and possessiveness. So much so that it could be called madness.
