How to Survive as the Wife of the Monster Duke - Chapter 222

That night, Ilyn dreamed while being held in Aden’s arms. Connected by the crimson fabric, Aden also dreamed the same dream, of course.

“… Sun?”

On a distant tree, familiar mobiles hung, swaying slowly. Aden, who was sharing the dream with her, approached her from behind and enveloped her.

“Do you know this place?”

Ilyn looked around. Since she hadn’t strayed far from the Arlen mansion, despite being a Sun person, she didn’t know many places in the Sun’s territory.

Amid the unfamiliar terrain, she spotted something conspicuous.

It was a wide-leaved plant with leaves broader than she had ever seen. The leaves seemed to have caught raindrops, as if it had rained recently. It seemed much further south than where she had spent most of her time.

“!”

At that moment, Aden’s hand that had been encircling her tightened.

-Thump! Thud thud!

The sound of something approaching could be heard. Ilyn and Aden turned in the direction of the sound almost simultaneously.

And there, they saw monsters with crimson scales swarming in.

“…?”

Unbelievably, they were monsters that only existed during the winter.

“That’s…”

Ilyn was about to react when Aden pulled her close and stepped aside. A monster with black scales brushed past where they had been standing.

Of course, there wouldn’t have been a collision with dream monsters. However, it didn’t feel pleasant as the monsters passed through their bodies.

Ilyn smiled at Aden with gratitude. Her smile momentarily froze as her expression slightly tensed at the passing black waves.

“Teri tribe.”

Aden spoke softly. Ilyn recalled something Aden had said a while back. He had mentioned that the black scales were very tough. Ilyn tightly held onto Aden’s hand.

Aden, encircling her shoulders, watched the passing monsters.

“But these monsters seem a bit young.”

-Ack!

As soon as Aden finished speaking, a monster passed by where Ilyn had been. Aden, who had moved her in the opposite direction in an instant, tilted his head slightly.

“Usually, young monsters like these don’t come out of their dens.”

“That’s strange too.”

Ilyn looked at the particularly small monsters.

“This is the Sun.”

No matter how you looked at it, the dream’s backdrop was the Sun. Colorless monsters passing under the brilliant yellow sunlight created a striking contrast.

Why would things that should only exist in the winter be here?

Aden was gazing at the swaying mobiles in the distance.

“Clearly, this is a premonition.”

Then that would mean winter monsters appearing in the Sun. At that moment, Ilyn held his hand.

Aden was looking at the swaying mobile in the distance.

“Clearly a vision, this is… ”

If that’s the case, it means that winter monsters are appearing in the Sun. At that moment, Ilyn took his hand.

“Would you come here?”

As the dream’s owner took a step, she moved faster than the monsters. With just one step, the two of them were suddenly much ahead in the direction the monsters were running.

Aden’s gaze shifted to a distant hill. Terris with black scales were rushing toward them from afar.

However, Ilyn, who was much more accustomed to dreams, was surveying her surroundings.

“Do you have something you’re looking for?”

The place they were in was below a tree. From the tree hung mobiles in ten familiar colors. Sunlight played on the mobiles, causing the ground to sway slowly in those ten colors.

The short grass, the grass that would soon be trampled by the Terris, was enjoying the last rays of sun in full bloom.

“…”

Ilyn’s gaze briefly touched the mobile before scattering around the area. She was searching for some landmarks to figure out where they were.

“I’m trying to figure out where this place is.”

Aden also followed her gaze around, not forgetting to glance at Ilyn’s side profile.

Winter was a bitterly exclusive place. It wasn’t just exclusive to Sun people; even among themselves, if they weren’t from the same lineage, they wouldn’t embrace each other. It was a relationship built solely on profit.

And furthermore, this was the Sun. He had been trying not to care about anything that happened in the Sun. As long as this lovely bride didn’t mind, that is.

“…”

Of course, Ilyn wouldn’t say that she wouldn’t move the military unless this place was near Biflten. However, her intentions were clear. Just the thought was more than enough to make it worth moving.

“Oh, there’s a village over there.”

Yes, to those people. Aden turned his gaze in the direction Ilyn pointed.

People were visible in the direction the Terris were headed. Although they seemed like ordinary civilians who didn’t know how to wield weapons, they were coming out of their houses at the sound of the monsters shaking the ground.

Their identities were also unknown, and they seemed hesitant. Even though it was evident that their movements weren’t those of humans, they seemed unable to even think of avoiding them.

“Ah…”

This was a vision. If the Terris trampled on them, their lives would be over.

Ilyn would once again have a vision of death. But she was a bride who no longer wanted to foresee death.

As she watched the Terris approach the village, her body was trembling. Aden covered her eyes with his hand.

“Shh,” he whispered, covering her eyes.

“The future is not yet foreseen, right?”

“Ah…”

But if the dream continues like this, their future will be foreseen. It was when Ilyn held his hand tightly.

“So,”

Aden lowered his other hand and lifted her chin. Before the grim future, his face came into view. Aden, whose eyes met hers, kissed the corner of her eye.

“Now get up.”

It was a forceful statement. Soon, his stimulating and gentle touch descended on her.
