I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess chapter 66

66 – Wish (3)

[Saint, reverse harem is impure! (Complete) Excerpt from page 175]

Winter spread an angry chill.

Frost settled on the blood that had not yet dried, and white fog formed even as his breath seemed to be at risk of being cut off.

A time when the harsh cold seeps into the bones.

It was an appropriate season for someone’s death. Because a frozen corpse does not rot easily.

It was convenient because it did not emit an unpleasant odor until it was taken into a large pit and thrown away.

This is even more so if the person who deserves to die is a sinner who will never exist again.

A wicked woman who serves an evil spirit and brought the empire to ruin.

This cold winter was truly a fitting season for Sirien Ilencia’s final days.

“A toxic year. “I heard you never apologized.”

“My brother died because of that dirty evil woman!”

Tuk. Blood splattered on a stone that flew from somewhere.

It was a stone thrown by an angry crowd. The stone that hit the criminal’s eyelid rolled on the scaffold along with dark blood.

It was unclear whether the blood on the stone was from the criminal or was already on the execution site.

Sinner. Sirien Ilencia did not look at the person who threw the stone.

It was because I didn’t have the eyes to do that. Her eyes had already been plucked out by a heretic inquisitor and disappeared.

Where the blood-red eyes should have been, there was a roughly tied bandage.

Ellis was the closest to seeing Sirien’s end.

Sirien, who was only a few steps away from her, was looking indescribably miserable.

Her noble and dignified attitude disappeared, and only her scarred and bloody appearance remained.

Even though she said she would stop the torture if she told everything, it was because she kept silent.

Her mouth let out nothing but miserable screams throughout the cruel torture.

No. She didn’t say anything at all.

The day the Heresy Inquisition judged Sirien Ilencia to be ‘broken.’ Ellis was able to go see her.

She thought that if it was Sirien she knew, she would coldly kick him out, but the answer she received was unexpected.

– Sirien Ilencia. Your execution date has been set. Don’t you have something to say? If you have a favor, I will do it. If it’s something I can do.

– Bracelet…… Give me back the bracelet. This is the bracelet I was wearing.

– If it is something sacred or magical, I cannot return it.

– There is nothing. It’s just an ordinary bracelet. Please…… Just give me back that bracelet. At least let me be with you until the moment I die.

There was really nothing in the bracelet that I asked for back.

All that the Grand Duke of Ilencia wore was an incredibly ordinary item.

Although it looked quite old due to how much care it had taken, it was in good condition.

As soon as Sirien received her bracelet back, she was so happy that she even shed tears.

She seemed to be convinced that it was her bracelet after just touching it a few times.

– Thank you……. Could you possibly fill it in? Because I’m blind now.

– Of course. Was it a valuable item?

– It is the only treasure left to me.

Sitting down in the cold prison cell, clutching her bracelet.

Tears mixed with blood flowed, soaking the bandage dark red and staining the white skin.

Although Ellis was uncomfortable with her appearance, she looked somewhat sad.

“Sinner. Sirien Ilencia is beheaded… Her head and body were destroyed… Title and property…… “

The bracelet was still worn as he knelt at the execution site.

There is no resistance or any other signs. All I could see was his head slightly lowered, as if he had resigned himself to death.

Until the verdict was over, Sirien only occasionally caressed his bracelet with his fingertips.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“… ….”

“Ha. I guess so. Execute!”

Ellis could not bear to see the executioner lower his sword.

The moment of death. Illencia’s voice was heard very softly in Sirien.

Her last words were ‘It’s cold.’

[Seong■, ■ha■■ fire■■! ■■■ ???P ■ ■■]

[Sirien Ilencia]

The cool blade touched the nape of her neck several times and fell.

It will be to gauge where the executioner will hit my neck.

Judging from his breathing and voice, it seemed like my executioner was a young boy.

The blade that I briefly touched seemed very blunt, and it seemed like I had no experience at all.

You probably don’t plan on cutting off my head all at once.

It wasn’t a very important issue.

Boo-Kwajik!

Soon death found me.

As expected, he did not die cleanly. A burning pain rose from my tattered neck.

Fortunately, the pain soon subsided.

It took five times for my neck to fall off, but it had already gone numb since the second time.

In an instant, my body became drowsy, and I felt the cold wind again.

It was a bitterly cold winter.

‘Razen…… I’m cold. Where are you?’

I can’t see ahead. I’m scared because the world is black.

Please hold my hand. I think it would be better if you hugged me from behind.

It’s too cold right now. I miss your warmth.

…… Ah. It occurred to me.

I’m sorry. If I had done better, I wouldn’t have lost you.

If that were the case, it wouldn’t have been this cold, right? It’s all my fault.

Still, can’t you forgive me just once?

Now I can finally see you again, but I feel so sad if you get angry.

I’ll be there soon.

‘That’s right, bracelet… If there’s blood… It works…….’

The last day of the festival. For some reason, Sirien overslept.

I was the one who usually started the morning early, but I have never been this late.

Yesterday’s meeting was supposed to last until late, but it seemed like he had stayed up all night.

Since he didn’t wake up even after lunch, I decided to wait in front of Sirien’s room.

I wonder why people in the past loved books so much, but there was nothing they did other than reading during this vague waiting time.

Even if it’s not a very interesting book, it’s still better than nothing.

Sirien came out only when he had finished reading the entire book.

“Good morning…… ?”

“It’s not morning. “It was so hard that I even took a nap.”

“Ugh, it’s not that bad, it’s just because I slept late. “Have you been waiting outside for a long time?”

“Not really. “You can take it slow.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Sirien rubbed her eyes as if she had not yet fully woken up from her sleep.

Slightly matted hair. The way she smiled in her sleep was so cute that I burst into laughter.

Soon her maid, whom her baron had given her, arrived, and Sirien entered her room again.

After finishing all her make-up, Sirien seemed prettier than yesterday.

The smiling face was fatal to the heart.

After the kiss on stage, she started to become conscious of it, so every little thing made her heart beat wildly.

“I had a hard time waiting. “Shall we go then?”

“Yes.”

The first place we headed to was, of course, a restaurant.

Sirien and I never missed a meal no matter what we did.

There were times when I had to worry about the monster’s meat because I had nothing to eat.

Throughout the meal, I felt like I was in the eye of a quiet typhoon.

I had a meal with Sirien as usual, and as I was spending time without much happening, I felt something tense.

After swallowing the soup, the inside of her lips became pale white and shiny.

When drinking another spoonful of soup or swallowing a small piece of meat.

The sight of his mouth slightly opening and chewing couldn’t escape my eyes.

That mouth touched mine.

Just touching wasn’t enough, they lusted after each other and even intertwined their tongues.

Even though time passed, the hot feeling at that time seemed to be getting stronger rather than lessening.

“Razen. Did you have no appetite today? “I heard you don’t eat much.”

“No. “I was just thinking about something else.”

“Aren’t you sick? Shall I feed you next time?”

“Ugh. It’s okay. “I am not a child.”

After the meal was over and on the way to the village, Sirien seemed to be playing with my feelings as she pleased.

“Why? “I think it would be good if you fed me when I was sick.”

“…… “That was then.”

“Hmph.”

Mischievous laughter.

Every joke like that made my throat itch.

All the way to the village, I felt like something in my chest was congested.

I was also afraid.

But so far, there has never been a time when anything good has come of delaying a decision.

I had to muster courage.

“Sirien. There is a place I want to stop by before going to the festival. “Is it okay?”

“Yes. “Anywhere is fine.”

There was a small forest just a short walk away from the village where the festival was held.

It was a forest colored yellow and red.

Autumn is coming to an end. The fallen leaves piled like graves on the dirt were stepped on softly.

A few strands of leaves were caught in the blowing wind.

There was a hand on top of my head, removing a fallen leaf.

Sirien tapped my cheek with a leaf and smiled.

“So, what did you want to say that brought you all the way here?”

“Hmm, good. Let’s do it here.”

Behind Sirien, there was a wide forest path.

It was a place I discovered while taking a walk together in Baronyong. It was spring at that time, and the wild flowers blooming under the green trees were very beautiful.

Now the magic was over and the cold winter was coming.

Fallen leaves spread out behind Sirien.

“First of all, this. “I wanted to give it to you myself.”

I didn’t see anything that great at the festival.

What I rushed out and bought was a white scarf. It’s winter soon.

I hoped Sirien wouldn’t be cold.

While I wrapped her in a scarf, Sirien didn’t say anything.

However, there was something I had to say.

“I thought a lot about it. Of course, you didn’t take it lightly, but it’s something I can’t react to lightly either.”

“Yes. “I’m happily waiting.”

“I still don’t know if I dare to do this. I think it’s too much. Originally, for you…… “There would have been a much better future.”

Sirien moved her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped.

It must be considerate of me. I still have a kind heart.

“Actually, that thought is still the same. Is it okay for me to be greedy for you as my subject? “I just couldn’t come up with an answer.”

In the original work, Sirien died after saying she was cold.

Although she was not mentioned again after the execution scene, it was clear that she had a miserable ending.

So, this scarf was like a promise I made to myself.

Absolutely. An oath that no matter what happens, I will not let Sirien die like that.

She decided to keep her oath, no matter all the evil in this world and no matter how harsh the fate of fate was.

If necessary, I will even sell my soul. All I had to do was protect Sirien, even if I had to end up in the abyss of hell.

So, I hope my excessive greed can be forgiven just once.

“You said you would grant my wish. But I don’t want to rely on things like wishes. “We will face each other fairly.”

She got down on one knee in front of Sirien.

We didn’t need a grand venue like the coronation ceremony we held one day.

Only two are needed. Because we’ve always been like that.

Rather than something great or flashy, just spending time with each other was enough.

Because I always treated Sirien with sincerity – all I needed was courage.

“I love you. Sirien Ilencia. “I will give you my all, so please officially become my lover.”
