“I promise I won’t do that anymore… Wow, this looks delicious.”
Ivonne quickly changed the subject before he could continue his scolding. Rix, who rarely had more to say, held back his words when he saw her starting to eat.
“From now on, I’ll always make sure you’re taken care of…”
Though he didn’t swallow the words lingering in his mouth. It was so lovely that Ivonne couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Their closeness had grown, and their bond was stronger than ever.
Dinner was filled with laughter and conversation, just as it always was.
But that night.
‘Ugh…’
Ivonne, who rarely cursed, felt an urge to let out some strong words. Anyone else in her position might have already uttered a string of profanities.
After all, the unannounced visitor in the middle of the night was none other than…
“Ivonne, I missed you!”
Her ex-boyfriend, Blitzen.
8. Strangely Unhelpful to Life
Around eleven o’clock, just as Ivonne was about to drift off to sleep, she heard a noise.
Tap, …tap tap!
At first, she thought she was imagining it. It was too quiet to be rain, too dull to be leaves rustling, and though she considered it might be a bird, it was too late at night and there was no flapping sound.
‘Something must have hit the window.’
Ivonne shrugged it off and turned over in bed. She would have fallen asleep if the noise hadn’t persisted.
Tap, tap tap, tap tap!
It was a small noise but particularly annoying. The sound tapping at the window was hard to ignore. An uneasy feeling crept over her.
‘And usually, these feelings are spot on…’
Hoping it was nothing serious, Ivonne drew back the curtain.
“…”
“…”
Her eyes met in the darkness. Ivonne’s blank expression while the blonde Blitzen beamed with a bright smile.
Swoosh!
With a swift motion, Ivonne yanked the curtains shut again, intending to ignore him and fall asleep.
“Oh, my beloved Ivonne!”
If only he hadn’t used a magical device to amplify his voice, loudly proclaiming his love in the dead of night! The noise was so intense that it woke the dogs in the nearby village, who began to bark in unison.
“Woof!”
“Arf!”
As if that weren’t enough commotion, Blitzen, seemingly determined not to be outdone by the barking dogs, shouted even louder.
“My love, my eternal fiance, ah! Ivonne! Please, show me your beautiful face! Open the window and your heart to me once more!”
Given the volume, it was likely that Rix, who had gone back to the nearby checkpoint for a night shift after dinner, could hear the racket. While Ivonne worried about disturbing the neighborhood, Blitzen continued his loud serenade.
“Ivonne! Ivonne!”
Had he been shouting anything other than her name, she might have been able to ignore it, but his persistent, amplified cries left her no choice. Ivonne flung the window open and yelled,
“Be quiet!”
“Ah, Ivonne! Finally, you acknowledge me!”
Blitzen jubilantly shouted her name again, still using the magical device.
‘Great, just great.’
She knew that by morning, there would be headlines about how Count Ulfest had woken the entire town with a midnight serenade to Ivonne. Already her life, far from the peaceful single life she had once dreamed of, was the center of attention.
This would only add more fuel to the fire.
‘This idiots…!’
Why couldn’t they let her have even a moment of peace? She was reaching the limit of her patience.
“Ivonne, come to me!”
Blitzen, completely oblivious to the situation, continued to plead with a beaming face. The exasperated Ivonne decided to put an end to his antics by destroying the magical device in his hand.
“Ah!”
Pop! The device exploded, and Blitzen fell to his knees, clutching his injured hand. Ivonne paid him no mind.
‘Now that the speaker is gone, it should quiet down.’
Sure, there might be headlines about Count Ulfest getting injured tomorrow, but if he hadn’t started serenading in the first place, none of this would have happened. No one would blame Ivonne for his foolishness.
She was about to draw the curtains again.
“Yes, relying on such tools is pointless. They can’t heal the wounds I’ve caused to your heart. Ah, Ivonne. You are truly deeply hurt.”
His breath control was impressive. If he could project his voice that powerfully without a magic tool, why did he use it in the first place? And the things he was saying were even more outrageous.
“I admit my mistakes. And I seek your forgiveness, Ivonne. I was truly foolish. To doubt your love for me, to misunderstand you, and to feel overwhelmed by it. How much did it hurt you, how much did it pain you because of me!”
Ivonne found her mouth gaping slightly.
‘What is he….even saying?’
It was beyond disbelief. She was starting to question his mental state.
Was the person outside really Blitzen?
