Then don't you think about your current fate?

The next morning Cecile woke up with feeling much more energetic. She saw Arthur was no longer near the bed where she lay.

The whole room was silent and still. Only a ray of sunlight passed through the cracks in the rock. Cecile got up from her bed and felt her head slightly dizzy. Maybe it's because it's been too long.

Her long strands of hair fell forward making her realise that her hair colour had changed. Her eyes widened as she grabbed a few strands and stared at them intently. 'Why did this change?'

"What do you see?"

Cecile was startled by someone who had just arrived and was already sitting beside her. Lifting her face, she found a pair of familiar blue eyes, staring at her with a charming smile as usual.

"Arthur" Cecile exclaimed. She didn't know why she felt so happy to find him again near her.

"So happy..." He said while leaning his face towards Cecile. "You miss me a lot, don't you?" Arthur smiled widely and his seductive tone of voice made Cecile blush.

"No." Cecile felt her face heat up and she was a little nervous. "Really? But why is your face red?" Arthur said as he caressed Cecile's cheek, which was already as red as rose petals. "It's hot, do you have a fever?" Arthur put on a face pretending to be panicked.

Cecile scorned inwardly. This guy really did it on purpose. "Get your hands out of the way" Cecile grumbled removing Arthur's hand from her cheek. Arthur just chuckled and his hand patted Cecile's head gently like pampering a little cat. "If you miss me why not just be honest, hem?"

Cecile just pursed her lips and pouted. But she felt very warm inside and secretly smiled. She used to hate it when Arthur touched her head, but for some reason now she enjoyed it. It was warm and friendly.

"This is my hair why is it changing colour?" Finally Cecile returned her attention to her hair. The colour of her golden brown hair had turned red.

"You don't remember at all what you did?" Arthur asked and his expression turned serious. Cecile was silent for a moment and then recalled the forest girl she had met that night.

"I remember meeting the forest guard girl when I was lost in the forest. That girl really wanted my eyeballs. At first, she looked very scary and scared me half to death. But somehow, it turned out that she was just an innocent girl who wanted to be with her lover, It's just that because of her eyeballs she can't do it."

Arthur listened to Cecile's story seriously. His gaze fell onto her pair of eyes which had been brown and sparkling a while ago, by now it had turned red like blood. "Then what happened between you two?"

"That girl kept begging to exchange eyeballs with me. Of course I refused, but somehow I felt very sorry for her. She really loves her boyfriend but they can't be together because of her eyeballs. Finally I agreed to exchange eyeballs on one condition. didn't hurt me. After that I don't remember anything anymore"

Arthur pinched his temples when he heard Cecile's story. This girl is too innocent or so stupid? Raising his hand he flicked the girl's head.

"Ouch!" Cecile rubbed her flicked forehead and complained to Arthur. "Why are you flicking my head?" Arthur rolled his eyes and furiously pinched Cecile's cheek. "You ask why?" Cecile who felt her cheeks being pinched kept hitting Arthur's hand to get away from her cheek. "It hurts... why are you pinching my cheek now?"

"That's to wake you up, stupid girl!" Arthur finally withdrew his hand. Cecile rubbed her cheeks which were red from Arthur's pinch. "I'm not stupid!"

"Not stupid then what? ridiculous? Hmm?"

"You—"

"You just agreed to trade your eyeballs with stranger, even crazy people don't necessarily do it"

"It's because I feel sorry for her" Cecile said defensively. "I don't like the ending of unhappy lovers. If I can help their relationship, why don't I do it?"

Arthur stared at Cecile's face for a moment and smiled scornfully. He just realised that the human girl in front of him was too innocent and a little strange.

"Then do you know who that girl is?" Arthur asked. "The guardian of the forest" Cecile answered innocently. Because she remembered that the girl could tell nature to tie her feet so she couldn't leave. With such power, what else would it be if not the guardian of the forest.

"Pftt..." Arthur pressed his stomach and laughed loudly. "Why are you laughing?" Cecile asked, furrowing her brows. Arthur stopped laughing and looked at Cecile seriously.

"He is part of my nation"

"You mean?" Cecile suddenly became nervous. Was her guess that day wrong? So what does it mean to be part of the Arthur's nation?

"He's not a forest guard but a wolf demon"

Cecile's pair of eyes almost popped out. Wolf demon? Is it like in the fairy tale mother told her. Raising her eyes at Arthur, she stared at the man in disbelief.

"Cecile, the pair of lovers you want to unite is a love between two worlds. One is a human and the other is a wolf incarnate. Exchanging your eyes with her doesn't change the fact that the girl is just a wolf incarnate. Do you regret helping her now?"

Cecile was taken aback. So the red-robed girl who was in the forest that day was not the ranger as she imagined. But that girl is the incarnation of a wolf? Pulling the corners of his lips slowly, she subconsciously smiled.

Arthur who saw the girl smiling couldn't help but furrow his brow and ask. "Why are you even smiling?"

"I only wrote down my dream on a whim on the eve of the year-end festival, but never thought the myth would actually come true." Cecile said still in disbelief. "I wrote down my wish to meet a werewolf and it came true"

Arthur was taken aback. He was almost at a loss for words with Cecile. This girl from the Zeath chieftain turned out to be very unique. How could she has such a ridiculous dream?

"Are you?" Cecile who was still smiling widely looked Arthur up and down. "Actually a werewolf too! That means my guess that day wasn't wrong, right?" She said happily.

Arthur shook his head. This girl, rather than being happy with the fact that her ridiculous dream had come true, shouldn't she be more worried about her current fate?

"Then don't you think about your current fate?"

Arthur asked while touching Cecile's strands of hair which were already red like roses. Then lifting his gaze, he fell on a pair of red eyes like blood and down both cheeks that were flushed like roses.

"The impact of your exchange on that day?"
