“Ah…” 1
Adele looked around the lighted room.
There was no one.
Only the open window was shaken by the strong wind.
Then the rain splashed in from the shaking window.
Under the window there was a robust pool of rain.
“What’s going on?”
Anna and Mina, who had fled outside, entered the room, making a fuss.
“It’s a mess!”
“The dress is all wet!”
Not just the floor, but the walls and chairs, and the dress and shoes that were hung on the chair, were all wet.
Water dripped from the window curtains, too.
Adele stood up from the chair, looking at Mina and Anna, who had just entered the room.
“I’ll clean it up, sister.”
“But we have to make your hair…”
“We can do it later. Because cleaning the room comes first.”
Anna and Mina looked a little sorry when they saw Adele smiling brightly.
“Shall we go out then?”
“That’d be better, sister.”
“Then Adele. We’ll make your hair pretty later.”
“Oh, dry the wet dress, too. Because you’re going to wear it.”
When the two cousins went out again, Adele stood in front of the mirror.
In the mirror, she had an unfamiliar necklace hanging from her neck.
It was a beautiful silver necklace.
A small jewel hung from the end of the necklace.
Adele, of course, had never seen a gem before, so she didn’t know what it was called.
She didn’t even know it was a gem that people called an ‘Onyx.’
“It’s strange…”
But what’s strange is that the sisters didn’t say anything about this necklace.
The sisters are greedy, so they must have asked where Adele got it if she had a necklace around her neck that she didn’t. But the sisters went out without asking. As if invisible to the eye.
“It’s so pretty…”
Stroking the necklace, Adele looked at the window.
And she walked to the window with short steps.
The rain stopped before she knew it. The sudden heavy rain seemed to have been a passing shower.
As if it had not rained, the sky was bright and the wind was not blowing. However, traces of rain remained intact in the view.
She could see the barn from the window.
“Sigmund…”
There’s Sigmund in that barn.
An untamed dragon.
The mere thought of it was terrible.
It’s no different than just letting go of the biggest monster in history.
Such a monster that no one can stop.
Who will stop the unprecedented monster, an indispensable dragon?
Who.
