Chapter 191: The Joyful News
The soft morning sunlight filtered through the wooden windows, casting a golden lattice across the polished floor. Ever since the Treaty of Defense had been sealed and Arcados had fallen silent in the depths, the world had taken on a different hue. Nature, as if seeking to reward Rina and Diyari for the immense suffering they had endured, had become more generous. On this particular morning, Rina stood in her small garden, but this time, instead of tending to the flowers, her hands were resting gently upon her stomach. A strange and peerless sensation was growing within her—a feeling where her white light reflected, not as an external force, but as the beating of a new heart beginning to thrive inside her.
This new sensation was like a calm pull, the vibration of a musical string that only Rina could hear. She understood that she was no longer alone. Within her body, a new light was beginning to glow—a light that belonged neither to her nor to Diyari, but was a fusion of them both. A tear of joy traced its way down Rina's cheek. She remembered all those years when the light was used only as a weapon to protect or to destroy the darkness; but now, the light was becoming life itself. This was the greatest news she could give to Diyari, a revelation that would change their world forever.
Rina slowly returned to the room. Diyari was still asleep, his face looking profoundly peaceful under the morning rays. Rina sat beside him, watching the man who had sacrificed everything for her. She knew that Diyari had always dreamed of a large family—a dream that had seemed impossible amidst the wars. Now, that dream was becoming a reality. Rina placed her hand on Diyari's shoulder, feeling his warmth as he softly opened those bright, golden eyes. When Diyari saw Rina's smile, he felt as though the entire world had been gifted to him.
"Rina, good morning. Why are you up so early?" Diyari asked in a sleepy voice, but he sat up straight when he saw her eyes shimmering. Rina took Diyari's hand and placed it on her stomach. For a few seconds, a deep silence blanketed the room. Diyari felt that faint vibration, the pure energy emanating from within Rina. His eyes widened, and his hand began to tremble. "Rina... is this...?" Rina simply nodded. Overwhelmed with joy, Diyari didn't know what to do; he only pulled Rina into a tight embrace and wept—tears of happiness that washed away all the pains of the past. In that moment, only the sound of their breathing and the beating of that new heart within Rina could be heard.
With a trembling voice full of hope, Diyari said, "Rina, I promise that this child will see only light. I will be a shield for you both—not because the world is dangerous, but because this love deserves every protection." He felt as if every battle he had fought was merely to prepare for this single moment. Rina held Diyari's hand tighter and said, "Together, we will teach them how to use their light for building. They will be the generation of peace." Diyari bowed his head and sat beside her for a long time, as if wanting to etch every second of this great news into his soul.
Everything changed from 그 morning onward. Diyari no longer allowed Rina to tire herself. He devoted himself to serving her with the utmost loyalty and love. Within Diyari's heart, the greatest celebration was being held. He knew that a new responsibility awaited him, but this time, not as a warrior, but as a father who wanted to make their paradise even more flourishing. Rina looked toward the horizon, praying from her heart that this child would be a sign to all humanity that light and love always remain the ultimate victors. This was the end of a dark chapter and the beginning of the most beautiful history of their lives.
