110. “Because I will protect you.” [ 2 ]
110.
“What if the premise of the contract is wrong?”
Escelia tilted her head slightly. No, she was close to wriggling.
“Wrong… It works…… ?”
I could feel the woman’s movements from behind. She seemed to nod.
“Okay, let’s take a look here.”
The woman stretched out her long arm and swept the air over her. Then, the scene in front of her eyes rolled away like a curtain. Inside the curtain of the scene, another figure was seen. It wasn’t that surprising, so the saintess wasn’t as flustered as before. Isn’t it obvious? Because she shouldn’t be surprised by the obvious.
On a rainy day, it was the time when the Death Knight hugged her saint and warmed her from the cold.
-Thumping…… !
I could clearly hear the Death Knight’s heartbeat. The woman who heard it burst into a purring laugh, and she slowly walked over to Zer Pied and placed her hand on his chest area.
“Can you hear me? It is the sound of the heart.”
“Yes… ….”
“Hey, don’t ask. What is undead?”
“A moving corpse… ….”
After hearing the answer, the woman smiled. The woman held out her free hand to her saintess. The saintess grabbed her outstretched hand. Gently the woman pulled her arm and seated her saint near her.
“You know well. But isn’t it strange that a corpse has a heart?”
“Strange… Do… ….”
“Isn’t it? But can a being with a beating heart be called a corpse?”
“No… ….”
The woman smiled louder and softer as if she liked her answer.
“What a clever kid. Then, Zerpied, who has a beating heart, cannot be called an undead Death Knight.”
“That… song…… ?”
The saintess’ brow furrowed slightly. Is that…… ?
“That’s it. It’s like the contract was wrong from the start. The contract was never established from the beginning.”
“It doesn’t work… ….”
“Yes. In the first place, Zerfied is not a Death Knight. Think about it, didn’t he swear by the frozen heart, the bloody banner, and the deathknight’s law? But since he’s not a Death Knight, it’s useless for him to swear by them.”
The gentle woman’s voice fell right next to my ear. The saintess nodded her head.
“My poor baby. Didn’t that Zerfied ask you for something?”
“Life…. I said I would give my life to the end…….”
The woman slowly embraced Ecilia. The short body of the saintess was easily embraced by the body of a taller woman.
“As expected. How much has she suffered in the meantime? Being chased by Renaire’s children, and being deceived by that cunning thing, Zerpiede. In the meantime, Zerfied has only signed a fake contract for your life. After that, the intention was to only take your life when the day is right to take it.”
The woman released one of her arms from her arms and slowly scanned the air. Then, scenes slowly began to emerge beside her.
Getting drunk in Diervan, meeting demons in Levadaim Forest, meeting Miss Renemie and the elves in the Great Forest, walking on the beach in Dales……. Meeting the elderly Panbano and crossing the sea…….
Things experienced with the Death Knight slowly began to revolve around the saintess and woman. In rare scenes, voices came mixed in. But she couldn’t quite hear what was being said by the woman’s soft voice.
“It’s all fake. A ‘fake’ that only pretended to do so.”
“Fake… ….”
Power drained from the saintess’ voice. It felt like something very important about her was slipping away from her. A drop of her tear flowed down the saintess’ white cheek.
“But you don’t have to worry anymore. I have. There won’t be any more hard work. You just need to close your eyes and rest comfortably, just like you would sleep comfortably.”
The woman hugged her saintess even more deeply. The texture of the soft robe felt good. She buried her body deep and gave herself over to the soft sound of a woman’s voice, like her lullaby.
“It must have been difficult, to live such a painful life. I won’t live in pain anymore. Everything will be comfortable from now on. Close your eyes, as if you were sleeping, take a good rest, child.”
The saintess slowly moved her head. To nod, nodding makes everything easier. No wonder. Because the woman said so.
It was then.
“Don’t act like you’re not already alive! You are alive now!”
At the surprisingly clear sound of her voice, Escelia opened her eyes. She murmured intermittently.
“I’m alive…… ?”
“… What?”
“I am alive… ….”
The saintess nodded her head. I am alive now I’m not dead. She said again.
“I am alive.”
She is alive. The saintess of innocence realized that obvious fact. She nodded slowly.
Alive. No matter how painful it is in the land of the demons, no matter how hard it is to lose Panbano, no matter how hard it is to heal the lepers, no matter how hard it is to leave the elderly in that terrible place in the Eastern Continent, no matter how likely they are to die. Live. Want to live
“I want to live.”
I want to live.
“I want to live!”
I want to live.
“I want to live! One more day, one more second!”
They wanted to live. So desperately now i know I want to live. One more day, one more second.
The saintess of innocence exclaimed. Why did she make up her own mind? The reason why she ran away from the Total Order of Purity. As she ran away for half a year, she ruminated on the reason. The reason she endured by eating only fallen leaves in Mount Ethel Bayer.
Also,
Death Knight, Zerpied Lim The reason why I woke Sedbaigal.
And the reason she was able to survive until now is precisely ───────
“Because I will protect you.”
“The knight, you protected me.”
From noble mtl dot com
Leternia slowly stood up. The accident did not come out properly in an incomprehensible situation. What? Did you protect it? What are you talking about? Now, in just one moment, she could have descended into this child’s body, but she rejected it? What the hell suddenly…… ?
The Demon God of Dreams could not continue the accident. The clear voice of the saintess of innocence broke the demon’s thoughts.
“The knight protected me. Whether the knight is a Death Knight or not a Death Knight. Whether the contract is fake or not, it doesn’t matter. The knight protected me, and that is an unchanging fact.”
The Demon God of Phantom Dream wanted to open his mouth.
However, the demon was unable to say anything at the brilliant, radiant eyes of the pure saintess who was looking directly at him. The saintess of innocence slowly turned her head to one side of her. Unknowingly, her dream demon turned her head blankly in that direction. Her own hand was placed on the Death Knight’s chest.
I heard the sound of the saintess’s head turning towards her again, but the dream demon could not turn her head to hers.
“So, take that hand off the driver right now.”
