Chapter 403
The Last Week
After sharing brunch, Valdrova headed to Central Serdes with Ferda.
In winter, the parched yellow earth and white dome were visible.
That was where the White House had stood, and the two-story dome was a room for dragons.
'I thought it was a VIP room, but a grave.......'
Until now, those guided by Valdrova's hand had entered inside.
Ẅ ëb́ñ о̊v е̄ l̄ Е̃ n̊ û mȧ
There were eight sealed iron doors in total.
Only four remained now.

Two of those were Ferda and Valdrova.
Just as complex emotions were about to surge while looking around at those doors, an alien space unfolded before them.
From within, Unistus and Nekonata appeared.
"Daddy and Older Sister!"
W̃_ӗb̀ńо̂ v ёl Е n̆ů mă
"Nekonata!"
Nekonata appeared in midair and hopped over to Valdrova.
Valdrova beamed and lifted her up.
Ferda gave a light bow to Unistus, who was walking out slowly.

"Aren't you going to hold a wedding ceremony?"
Unistus asked.
E ň ú m̃ а . і d̃
"No. There's not enough time for that......."
"Whether it's a baptism or a ceremony, what does it matter? If you spend a single night together, that itself is the vow."
Unistus chuckled.
At that, Ferda's face reddened for no reason.
"Nekonata wants to sleep together for a night too! I'll sleep with Older Sister!"
"Th-that's a bit......."

Flustered by Nekonata's sudden tantrum, Unistus chortled.
"You don't need to see me off. Just go with the brat who can't stand loneliness."
"Yes."
"Then."
Unistus bid his final farewell and headed toward his own door.
Nekonata held Valdrova's hand and entered her room.
Е̂n ûmȧ
An all-white room.
Inside were only a single chair and a single doll.

Nekonata bounced over, took the teddy bear sitting on the chair, and plopped down on it herself.
Stroking Nekonata's head, Valdrova spoke.
"Nekonata. There's also a way to live together with Older Sister. You don't like that way?"
"Yeah."
Wеb n̊ o v̂е̇l _Ѐn̈_u̇ m̀ӑ
Nekonata nodded.
"Nekonata will absolutely become Older Sister's daughter. But that's not possible in this life!"
Not possible in this life.
Her tone was purely childish, but her words sounded like something an old person would say.

Neither statement was wrong.
"Do you want that?"

"Yeah. But you know. But I'll do it as the second, not the first."
"Why do you want to be the second?"
"The first is boring."
"Who says?"
"Prime told me. So the first is no good? Got it?"
Does it work just because you want it to?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But if they didn't play along with that stubbornness, it seemed she wouldn't leave.
Valdrova smiled and nodded.
"Alright. I'll definitely meet you as the second."
"Hehe. Older Sister is the best."
Hugging tightly with her tiny hands, she handed the doll she'd been holding to Valdrova.
"This is the bestest friend among the dolls Nekonata likes! You have to give it to me, okay?"
Èn̄ ũm̄ а̄ . ǐ.d̊
"Yeah, got it."
"Now...... sleepy...... so Nekonata...... will sleep......."

"Alright, sleep well."
Nekonata nodded off, her head carefully drooping down.
She fell asleep sitting primly, and her body turned into particles and scattered away.
Ferda and Valdrova came outside.
Ẅ е̃ b̄ ń оvеl̃. É n u mа
The iron doors closed on their own, sealing completely.
Even Unistus had vanished without a word, so now only two spots remained.
Godwin and Valdrova.
The iron doors facing opposite directions were visible.

Strength entered Valdrova's hand.
She could now skillfully control her strength so as not to crush it.
Ёṅǔ ḿ а . í ḋ
"Eleanor."
Ferda spoke.
Was it because too much force had entered her hand and it hurt?
Fortunately, that wasn't it.
He spoke.
"Before coming here, Emperor Hudret said there's a good place for the two of us to spend time. He said it's beautiful even in winter......."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"......."
"Would you like to go there?"
Valdrova nodded.
If the remaining time wasn't much, they now needed time to spend just the two of them.
It was an annex the King of Hudret had told them about, a place he used when going out for a change of pace with his wife.
A place so small and modest it was hard to believe royalty or nobility used it.
Е n̈um а̂
It wouldn't be strange to call it a civilian house.
But this was enough.

Outside there was a beautiful lake, a tree to lean against, and a field of neatly piled snow.
It was just right for spending time devoted to each other.
The first night at the villa arrived.
Ferda and Valdrova looked at each other on the bed.
W̊е bṅ.о́v е l̊ Ѐ n ǔḿ a
It wasn't as wide and plush as the castle bed, but it was enough for two to lie down.
All kinds of emotions welled up.
They'd already felt each other once, yet it was unbearably awkward.
Even their usual kisses brought more sadness than fluttering hearts.

Eventually, Valdrova started crying.
She tried to hold back tears and focus again, but even after several minutes, they wouldn't stop.
W̌е̇ b̈ nо̆ ṽèl_ Е n u m̆ ā
Until finally, her appearance became unsightly and she wailed aloud.
She said.
Right now, she'd bring another woman, so go sleep with that woman.
She didn't want to lose him.
Actually, she didn't like babies or anything.
At her incoherent rambling, Ferda carefully embraced and soothed her, heart aching.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thus the first night passed.
The second day dawned.
Breakfast was all prepared.
It was clearly Ruri's doing.
Aside from meal prep, Ruri had decided not to interfere.
Ferda brought the meal to Valdrova.
Ѐ n̊ ù.m̊ а̊
She sat on the bed, picking at bread and sniffling.
"Shall we go see the lake together?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She didn't answer.
But staying like this wouldn't do any good, so Ferda dressed her and they went out to the lake together.
No words were spoken.
Ferda and Valdrova gazed at the calm lake with thin ice forming.
Е n û m a . і̆d̈
Splash—!
Then a fish in the lake suddenly leapt up.
"Oh."
"Oh."

Simultaneous exclamations.
Startled by each other's voices, they looked at each other's faces.
W ӗb̂ ǹо̌v̀е̃ l E n̊u̇ m̂ a
Both burst out laughing.
The fact that they'd seen the same thing and felt the same thing became a bond.
Valdrova quietly nestled into Ferda's chest.
After laughing, she seemed to regain a bit of energy.
Then, perhaps mischief struck, Valdrova packed snow and threw it at Ferda.
Ferda retaliated by packing and throwing snow too.

Like children, they ran around playing until they were sick of it.
Perhaps because she'd cried so much yesterday, when they went to bed, the sadness was no longer there.
The two's conversation melted together with time.
The third day dawned.
Until the sun set, they didn't let go of each other.
The fourth day dawned.
W̊ĕb̆ń о̊ v̈ е́ l Е̂n u m̃ a
Ferda told Valdrova he thought they should exercise a bit of restraint now.
But Valdrova still seemed to find it lacking.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
As if she'd been waiting for those words, she pulled something from her luggage.
It was clearly made of underwear, yet an ironic item with absolutely none of underwear's function.
It was unmistakably something Penelope had given.
Valdrova looked at Ferda with an expression that seemed to wonder if this was really right.
Е̇ ň ü m а̇
She seemed to think it wasn't much different from rags.
I hate this so much I could die.
That damn bitch Penelope, the moment I actually like something she did.
In the end, I've played right into that demon's intentions.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The fifth day dawned.
Let's really exercise restraint now.
Ѐǹu m̃ а̌
Even Valdrova was saying that much now.
So they dressed.
The first day, taking clothes off was unfamiliar; now, putting them on felt unfamiliar.
While wondering what to do, Valdrova suggested.
Let's go to the market.
They headed to a city belonging to the Hudret Empire.

No one recognized Valdrova.
Her horns were somehow hidden by a hat, her tail concealed by a loose dress, so she just looked like a noblewoman out for a stroll.
Was that why?
Every time they bought something, they'd unnecessarily throw in something extra.
They say blessings come from offering to beauties, but it felt like an excuse just to treat her well.
Like that, they returned home carrying an armful for little money.
E ṅu m̀ а̊ ._i d
He vaguely knew why she'd wanted to go to the market, but she acted like it was a surprise gift.
"I'll make you Valdrova Special Stew!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Stew from a woman who can't even fry an egg properly.
Valdrova tried to boil stew the way Ruri taught her.
She carefully prepared ingredients and put them in one by one, and it gave off a plausible smell.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but in the end, a catastrophe occurred.
W̄.еb̄n ov̊ е l̊ .Е̃nu m̀.а
The salt shaker opened and a whole clump went straight in.
She made a disappointed expression at the ruined stew.
Ferda, just in case, took a bite.
It was sweet.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
What she'd been putting in wasn't salt, but sugar.
He seasoned it again with salt, and the stew was completed.
Ĕ n̊ǔmа .їd̊
It was the most delicious in the world.
The sixth day dawned.
Ferda and Valdrova didn't laugh.
They both knew the time to wake up was approaching.
There was no thought of spending the last day meaningfully.
They took a light walk and spent time sightseeing the surroundings.

Not letting go of their clasped hands, they did everything together.
Time flowed mercilessly, and before they knew it, the sunset was setting.
Watching the sky ripening yellowish, Valdrova opened her mouth.
"Me, a place I want to go one last time came to mind."
Ferda asked.
"Where would you like to go?"
Е̌ n̆uḿ a . і̆ d̆
She answered.
"That place where you always watched me......."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thus Ferda and Valdrova climbed the Lonely Mountain summit.
The outside wind wasn't cold.
From that open place, they watched the setting sun.
Finally, night came.
Е̌ ň um а́.і ď
A large moon and stars shone like jewels in the sky.
"I know those constellations."
Valdrova showed off her knowledge, connecting stars one by one.
Some were wrong, but Ferda listened quietly and held her.

Eventually, her chattering stopped too.
Valdrova no longer looked at the stars.
W̃.е b́n̈о̊v ѐ l̊ Ѐ n̄ û m а
"Tonight...... you're leaving, right?"
Valdrova asked.
"Yes."
She squeezed their clasped hands tight.
From her hand, the trembling of her heart was felt.
Ferda asked her.

"Will you be able to live well even without me?"
Valdrova thought a little, then answered.
"I think I'll be okay. We have our child. There's nothing to worry about."
"Is that so?"
"Besides...... Ferda-ssi isn't completely dying, are you?"
As Sierra's apostle, becoming a constellation in the night sky.

"If I miss you, I'll look up at the sky and think of Ferda-ssi. It'll definitely be okay."
"I see......."

Looking at each other's faces, they smiled.
That was their last smile.
"Ferda-ssi."
"Yes."

"Then...... I'll sleep just a little...... when you leave, can you wake me? So I can see you off."
"I will."
"Yeah."
Valdrova closed her eyes.

Ferda arranged her hair and etched her into his eyes.
Suddenly, surging emotions made it feel like tears would pour out.
Ѐnu ḿa
Time passed, and the moon floating in the sky descended.
That moon transformed into human form, her body wrapped in fluttering cloth containing stars.
-Ferda, my child. The time to go has come.
"......."
Ferda quietly released Valdrova's hand.
He moved everything carefully so she wouldn't wake.

-Aren't you going to say your final goodbye?
Sierra gestured toward Valdrova and asked.
-That woman is awake.
Ferda nodded bitterly.
"I know."
That she wasn't sleeping.
Ĕn̊ù m а .ïd̈
Otherwise, she wouldn't have released this hand so carefully.
Knowing they had to part,

But being clumsy at goodbyes,
Neither could say a word to the other.
-If that's how you two are.......
Sierra spoke thus and beckoned to Ferda.
Ӗǹũmа̂ .і̊ d
He felt his body rising into the sky.
His flesh scattered, becoming a pure soul flying upward.
Ferda etched Valdrova into his eyes one last time.
And prayed.

Please, even without me, may you live happily.
Finally, all traces of him disappeared, and even the remaining warmth scattered into the wind.
Еn̄ ū m̆ а..іd̂
After everything vanished, Valdrova opened her eyes and rose from her seat.
Unable to wipe her flowing tears, she looked up at the sky.
Countless stars and the moon sparkled like jewels.
Ferda had now become one of those countless stars.
"This idiot......."
Valdrova blamed herself.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I should've asked......."
If you become one of those stars,
Where should I look when I miss you?
Resenting herself for being an idiot and a coward to the end, she wept silently.
The seventh day dawned.
On that day when she lost the most precious thing,
W̄ еbnо v ėl̃ Ênum̈.а
The most precious thing was conceived in her womb.
