Gerald was hugging her limp body that seemed to be asleep. The gesture was so desperate that she felt like she had to do something about Gerald. She wanted to let Gerald know that she was fine and let him rest.
[Hush] Another voice was heard.
Black hair and black eyes. A child that emerged from the darkness walked toward her with his hands behind his back. The child smiled.
[This is how I get to meet Louella]]
[Who are you?] The child laughed.
[Black snake. Or Black Uroboros. The Black Dragon. That’s the word for me.]
Oops. He stepped back. It was because of the impression that meeting someone like him would be impossible and could only be encountered in books. And it was similar to the voice that warned her the other day as well.
Also…
[This is my territory, Louella.] The child went on as he spoke with Louella. Contrary to his childlike appearance, his tone was dark and old-fashioned.
[Why did you call me here?]
[Don’t you want to know the answer?] Asked the Black Uroboros stealthily.
[Don’t you want to know about your lost past? Don’t you want to know what you’re missing? Maybe it’s time to be with your future again.] It was a tempting offer for her.
[Why would you want to show it to me?]
[It’s because I love and care about humans. Also, I want that kid to be happy.] The child pointed to Gerald.
[You’ll get answers to all your suspicions. And you’ll be able to look at everything related to that kid.]
If it came out like this, there was only one choice I could make.
[Good]
If you make a move instead, you’ll die, and I’ll die. She muttered an unspoken curse to herself. Louella took the black snake by the hand. The space flipped around.
[This is…]
It was Logan’s mansion where she lived after she got married. Gerald was sitting next to her lying pale. She wanted to touch and comfort Gerald, but it was impossible for her to do so.
“This is Nisephor…” The doctor pronounced the diagnosis in a heavy voice.

“Pregnancy has promoted the disease. Nisephor had already penetrated.” Gerald held her hand and shed silent tears.
“She’ll only last a month, at the longest.”
“A month…” Gerald’s eyes fixed on Louella, lying on the bed.
She wanted to tell him that she was here and that he didn’t have to be afraid at all, but even if she blinked, nothing came out of her mouth. Gerald approached Louella.
Gerald, who sat on his knees under the bed, held Louella’s dry hands.
“Lulu…. Louella….” Even with Gerald’s split call, Louella didn’t budge at all.
Gerald stroked Louella’s forehead. “Please, Lulu… Don’t leave me behind.” His voice sounded sad.
Gerald rubbed his lips against the back of Louella’s hand. The shadow of death hung over Louella.
“Is there any way to abandon the child and save Louella?” Gerald asked in a subdued voice.
He would have made the same choice over and over again if he could save Louella by doing so. The doctor shook his head with a brooding face.
“The bottle had already been seized. Unleashing the child will not make her feel better again. The disease that has already appeared will not stop until it penetrates the bone marrow.”
In the end, Gerald was going to lose Louella no matter what choice he made. “Then can you save the child?”
Gerald turned to Louella in a small voice. Louella, who had fallen into a deep sleep and had no movement, opened her eyes clearly. Luella was coughing.
“……I can’t guarantee that either, Duchess.”
“I see.” Louella nodded as if she knew the answer already.
Louella held Gerald’s hand with a crying face. But Louella managed to hold back her tears until the end. Louella held Gerald’s hand with a solemn face.
The always warm hands she held felt cold. She kissed the palm of his hand. Gerald, who had not moved at all until then, groaned.
“Gerald…” Louella whispered in a terribly cracked voice.
“I guess we’re done here in this life.” Gerald burst into a beastly cry.
[………I’ve never seen Gerald cry like that before.]
[Really? I’ve seen it a lot.] The boy shrugged his shoulders with a calm face.
