Even though my brain had been honed in hundreds of battles, it still took me a minute to comprehend those two words. It felt like time had stopped, and a gentle breeze blew through the garden. I stood in silence, the only sounds being the rustling of the leaves and grass. My wife. Did that mean she was the wife of Kanami the Founder? I understood the words themselves, but I couldn’t comprehend what they actually meant. Lorde stood in front of me, an angry expression on her face. Nosphy, smiling sadly, stood next to her.

“Wow...” Liner said quietly, from where he stood behind me. Slowly, the complex problems of my past were being untangled, and I was closer to understanding the meaning. A thousand years ago, Nosfy and I had been married. It was too outlandish to believe. Thousands of speculations flew through my mind as to whether it was a metaphor or slang, but there was only one answer that suited the current situation. I couldn’t admit it to myself just yet, though.

“Lorde... What do you...mean?” I asked, grasping at straws, hoping my guess was incorrect.

“Your wife’s your wife, duh!”

“Wife...as in spouse?”

“What else could it mean?!”

“So you’re saying that in the past, Nosfy and I were married?”

“Exactly! That’s why I’m angry!”

“I was the husband and Nosfy was the wife. You’re saying we were what people commonly call a ‘married couple?’”

“Yes, you were a married couple! That’s why Nosfy was fighting in the North! You’re so heartless, Kanamin!”

“Huh?!” I was dumbfounded. Strangely, perhaps because of my experiences since coming to this world, I was less confused than I might have been. Maybe it was because somewhere in the back of my mind, I was prepared for anything to happen. That was why I had time to check the expression on Nosfy’s face. She had the exact opposite expression from mine and was trying to calm Lorde down as though it was nothing.

“Lorde, that was a thousand years ago. The country that recognized us as husband and wife is gone. Therefore, it would be wrong to continue saying we are.”

“Proof?! No, I can provide proof! I mean, a married couple is still a married couple even without that! If they have pledged their love to each other! Isn’t that eternal?”

Nosfy’s expression turned stern. “We didn’t exchange any vows or anything. It was a marriage in name only. It was a contract full of lies and deceit. A meaningless ceremony. So it was totally different from your idea of marriage, Lorde. And Kanami’s forgotten all about it. There is nothing more foolish than to claim that I am his wife now.”

“Foolish?! But... But!” Lorde finally stopped speaking at Nosfy’s plain words.

Nosfy turned to me. “You’re troubled now, aren’t you, Master Kanami?”

Her eyes, like black agate, were staring intently at me. I knew that she would not tolerate any falsehoods, nor would she tolerate any mistakes. I could neither nod nor shake my head in response to this heavy question. Since I had no memories, I had no idea what to say.
