Once in the middle of the night, after a gloomy wedding and some annoying procedures, the newly hunted were sitting uncomfortably together in their wedding suits, on the edge of an elegant double bed, in the middle of a decorated room belonging to a small mansion owned by the Funsei family in the capital, accommodated for the occasion.

Yulio was nervous and flushed while interspersing his gaze, somewhere in the room, his wife and the elegant parchment that until now had not been opened, which his wife was reading in silence, this parchment was delivered by the Prime Minister after the wedding and after taking an oath to the crown, which indicated his new noble conditions.

After a while, Crystal, still with red eyes, broke the silence saying monotonously and without much emotion, after rereading and meditating on the paper for a long time.

"Then now you are Yulio Terio Viridio Valirente Funsei new baron of the new house Valirente of the Kingdom, and I'm Crystal Ionia Gobilia of Valirente, the wife of the new baron of Valirente. Whose house has the duty to govern the small territory Desparamo, municipality of the state of Arminio, and territory of Earl Monterio.

Then her husband said a little worried and even nervous.

"Well that was more or less what the Prime Minister told us ..."

but not knowing what else to say, he stopped talking, but his words reached his partner, who looked at him without much emotion and continued his speech.

"Territory which is possibly our tomb since it is home to terrible violent monsters, that roam destroying all civilization, home to arid and lifeless lands, and border with the Quectalia kingdom and the forest of death."

Faced with such a fatal turn, that his partner was beginning to temper, Yulio told him

"Crystal, ¿are you okay?".

but she continued ignoring him as she began to shed tears.

"And now I am here, without family or anyone loved, dishonored for crimes that neither family nor I committed, despised, abandoned and condemned by the only man I have loved and supported, who is now with any one, about to consecrate my marriage, As the wife of a pathetic and ugly man I hardly even know who somehow liked me. I, what did I do to deserve this ..."

And when she finished speaking, she began to sob after dropping the papyrus and covering her face with her hands, while her final speech struck her husband in the soul, making him feel bad and letting him know that he did not take much into account the feelings from your loved one, only your personal selfishness. Therefore, she decided something and said to her.

"Calm down, Crystal, everything will be fine, we will overcome the territory, and I will always be by your side, I know I will not be the best but I will try my best to be your ideal man."

And it was with this and more motivational phrases that her wife stopped crying and although little was filled with a little hope, in addition to putting her to see, to continue listening to her spirits.

"So I encourage you, no, it is not the end of the world, you are the genius of war, an extraordinary magician, and I, well, umm you know, I am good at harvesting, my family is dedicated to cultivating, I know something or two, so don't cry everything will be better, ¿okay?"

Then for the first time they entered, Crystal answered him, this time assisting with his head, returning his cold sanity and hope to his face, but still, a great sadness resided in her, which for now was appeased. And seeing her now recovered face, Yulio was relieved and continued saying.

"Well, it seems that you are better, being relieved, let's just not think about the bad things, and, and, and, you know, we don't have to do that, I can just sleep on the floor, you don't have to worry."

But the last thing he said, he sank the joyous thoughts that were recently reigniting, to think carefully about his current predicament for which he had been so careful and which should be a unique and special moment with his prince, and not a terrible moment with that undesirable being, how much she was glad to know that that being was not going to do anything with her person, but then she thought about her future, about the man who will never love her again in her life, about her hard life in that horrible territory, in how she would lead her future life with that being and above all, that all that was true and inevitable, being that any attempt to escape her fate would lead her, to a dark fate perhaps even worse than the one she originally had. Achieving with this thought to obtain a decision with which she thought she would regret one day, On the other hand, at the time she was finishing thinking, her face expressed a decline in sadness, which her unwanted partner noticed and caused her to say nervously.

"What happened, Crystal, did I say something wrong? If I did, I'm sorry, look, don't worry ..."

These words were stopped with the decision of his wife in the form of a small and wet kiss on his lips, which he removed the second, resulting in 2 different faces, a surprised and red face for Yulio and a sad, somewhat cold, determined face. , and resigned to Crystal, this being the one who broke the silence saying monotonously, with some pain in her heart for finishing sacrificing something of her and for continuing to do so.

"No, now we are, a married couple and we have to fulfill our duty, we will also come to this sooner or later, and above all, the lost will never return to us, we can only continue with this."

Then before his partner replied, he joined her lips with him, as he rushed at him, leaving without much results while hurting his soul with each action, his romantic feelings of his former lover in the cemetery of his heart, as well as burying also her great honor as the once feared and admired genius daughter of the Vicronios.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The hands of the clock were turning stubbornly, until time after the morning sun had risen enough to just finish painting the sky a soft blue, and start the rhythm of the happy morning, being the early birds with their friendly songs as the opening orchestra of the first act of the day, which as the main theme, is the awakening of a new day filled with dreams and hopes, which was transmitted to all beings of daytime life, such as our partner, in such a way that the enchantment of this melody in the form of a soft light It crossed the elegant red curtains of its nest, subtly coloring the room with the light of a new day, accompanied by the happy songs of the birds, which together managed to fulfill in transmitting its charm, waking up placidly tucked up to the neck and skin in robes, in the stupor of the brief forgetfulness originated from the abandonment of the kingdom of dreams, to suddenly realize surprised, of a tender creature huddled on his right side sleeping with innocent pleasure, taking his right breast as his own possession and also receiving the guest shelter of his right arm. But seen closer, you could see him crushing his tenderness, the shadow of tears that once crossed his face.

Some times the young man saw his protege, immediately but slowly arose in him the various memories and emotions of that night, leaving only nerves, happiness, conformity, happiness and the pathetic guilt that originated his good conscience, which now constantly invading, as they continued to see the face and part of the head of his now-wife, protruding from the thin cave of fabric that covered both bodies in fur; and continue to feel the warm contact coming from him, which more than retired, filled the dark hole that made up his nonconformist but intense loneliness.

All these feelings and emotions led him to rectify and for once unknown to him, the cloying promises made to himself towards her, in addition to accompanying the morning sonata with his warm voice of a fool in love, addressed to his beloved.

"How beautiful you are".

But nevertheless, betraying his words, and detuning the fragile rhythm of joy, his partner pronounced in adorable whisper, part of his experience in the untamed kingdom of dreams.

"Querin..."

Soft and tender words stuck in his heart, mistreating his self-esteem and happiness that with vain effort he built on unstable bases. In addition, however, it will provoke in your body, a subtle movement that finished destroying the beloved place of happiness of his beloved, causing her, like her partner, to wake up in the stupor of oblivion, to leave it quickly when filled with momentary fright and anger, in the face of his current situation, and then this plummeted into cold temperance, sadness and an embarrassment detected by the slight revival of the fire on his face, while his gaze met his for a brief moment of silence, grief, pain and discomfort, which the husband awkwardly broke, with pathetic words with the intention of leaving aside the pain of his recently injured heart.

"Good morning Crystal"

These words being answered by the little emotional words of the wife

"Good Morning"

And when the good days were over, Crystal quickly separated from her partner, getting off the bed, bringing with her the sheet that covered them both, to be able to cover herself as she came out of that situation, trying as much as possible not to look at the humble naked body of Yulio, which caused Yulio a bitter feeling of rejection, who watched her leave his side, which changed to concern when she saw that once she stopped, she wobbled subtly in pain, which she reasoned and discovering the why, causing her some sadness and intensified when out of wild curiosity in her reasoning she saw, like her partner following her gaze, the reddish sacrifice resulting from the previous night, adding to both discomfort and grief, and to Yulio specifically, feelings of achievement, guilt in the shadows.

Then later, she turned to the opposite side to go to the closet, so that after opening it, she felt the silly and unpleasant look of her imperfect partner bewitched by her, hindering her dressing routine. Therefore, not enduring the shame in which it was decided that she would forget, she said abruptly to her partner with authority.

"Out of here."

Hearing her words coming out of the trance, her husband got out of bed quickly, heading quickly to the bathroom while covering his parts.

After a while, Yulio was able to go out after being told to do so, and to see his wife in homemade but elegant clothing, which fascinated him briefly since when he went out she went directly into the bathroom, marking his turn to get dressed.

Both of them finished dressing and preparing their travel bags, they left the room together to go to the kitchen, to satisfy their hunger, to appreciate on the way how desolate the mansion was, once in the kitchen the young man trying to impress his wife He made a humble breakfast for both of them to show off their skills, which did not help much, since his wife was meditating calmly at the dining room table in the next room.

At her breakfast after a silence, in force since the decision of who would cook, Crystal cynically commented

"I guess this will be our last breakfast in the capital before we die."

but her nervous and positive partner contracted her.

"Don't think about that kind of thing, I already told you that everything would be fine with our abilities."

Then she remembered last night, causing him to relax, but answered with a logical argument.

"But that will only happen if we transcend the effort or a miracle happens if we want to survive."

then she said positively

"Well, I guess we have to pray and make an effort from now on"

and now she has regained her cold self-esteem a little

"Especially you, nasty fat ball, for now, all you serve is bait and disgust me."

This comment affected him greatly, cooling his spirits, but this one from within sat up saying nervously.

"I, I, I can change."

words heard by the cold lady who found it funny, to think that this useless man who apparently did not redeem himself with the words she said to him that time at the friendship party.

"hahaha I will believe it when I see it, it is more I will help you if I see that you comply with what you said."

and the husband answered him.

"I tried then ... umm by the way, supposedly they were looking for us a convoy made up of my family's guard, knights, and servants."

and this comment was answered quickly

"Supposedly they should come here ..."

But he was cut off by a person who knocked on the door and shouted at him in passing for their identities, followed by which they left their breakfast almost to finish to see their guests who turned out to be the convoy waiting for them made up of 4 gentlemen selected by the king, 4 guards of the Funsei family and 2 servants of about 30 years of both sides respectively. Being one of the knight who was knocking on the door. Who told them when they opened the door

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Valirente, we are here to take you to serve your sentence in that land of death, please bring your suitcases and enter the coach."

Both of them stayed still and their stomachs turned as they finally faced their journey, but enough happened to them, to answer in the affirmative, search for their belongings and store them in the float, and then they would enter it, this soon after beginning. to move slowly towards the desolate lands.
