Ferzendo and Euphemia.
He was no longer interested in weddings in this cathedral.
nothing caught my eye.
Nothing could be heard.
‘Ciel… … ‘
Grasping the skirt, Euphemia quietly… …
I remembered the name of a man I couldn’t forget.
A lot had changed, but Euphemia recognized it at a glance.
‘Success, you did.’
The person who used to mimic a knight clumsily by his side, now stands proudly as a knight.
Even though it wasn’t her job, Euphemia felt joy.
I felt like I was rewarded all at once for the time I devoted to myself, who was so humble that I could not receive anything in return.
I wanted to capture it a little more, but Euphemia did not, and tried to fix her gaze on the wrong place.
3 months.
90 days.
2160 hours.
During that time, Euphemia never spoke about Ciel Midford.
Judging by the fact that Ferzen didn’t do it either, I have some certainty that he had erased it from his memory.
No, I wouldn’t delete it.
However, I didn’t think it was important.
It’s a street that doesn’t notice his changed form.
‘If it’s this, it’s fine… … ‘
I didn’t mean to make such a clumsy request for help.
If that had been the case, he would have escaped by holding the hand of Ciel, who had reached out to him in Ruerg in the first place.
I didn’t want to mess with that splendid and glorious moment of my life that I had barely crafted with my own hands by making me entwined with myself.
A relationship that has already been split by a parallel line at the junction.
Don’t even try to reach out.
You can’t even reach out your hand.
‘still… … ‘
Even though he wasn’t a knight, ironically, he was the only man who supported him like a knight more than anyone else.
If it’s short it’s short, if it’s long it’s long.
It was hard, but the memories of the happy times we spent together.
Ciel Midford–I will always remember that name.
* * * * *
It was a series of tortures.
His father, who was once a nobleman, fell, and he married a village woman with only a shabby last name.
He and his younger brother who were born that way… …
I have lived my life watching my mother suffer from pain in the midst of violence.
In a hellish life, the first moment he realized the feeling of happiness was when his father died.
However, seeing the tragic death of her mother a few months later, Ciel Midford understood the saying that misfortune and happiness always come together.
I became an orphan and jumped into the world of mercenaries… …
The younger brother, who was the only family member, died while protecting himself while carrying out the commission together.
After that, Ciel Midford wandered aimlessly.
Desperately, as if searching for a tomb to be buried, he continued to receive and carry out commissions, and in the end, he arrived at Ruerg, thinking that it would be the last.
And there, I met Euphemia.
A woman who had similar pains to herself, but did not give in to it and led the territory like a vicious man.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe the first time was a comradeship.So Ciel Midford, after completing the quest, stayed in Ruerg and spent time.
In the process, naturally, I had an exchange with Euphemia.
Ciel Midford began to feel the tickling sensation of new flesh sprouting from his wounds that never seemed to heal.
But I tried not to recognize that feeling.
The things I loved, the things I loved… …
All of them crumbled like dust by their side.
However, people’s emotions were not tightly controlled by the leash of reason.
If that were the case, the moment would not have felt magical to those who fell in love.
As a result, Ciel Midford suffered from mature morbidity.
I wondered if maturity could be modified by being a corporal, but at least Ciel Midford did.
and… …
The yoke of fate in the past is like a curse.
Right before my eyes, I made her robbed.
The world resented him, and he hated his helpless self and Ferzen, who had taken away Euphemia.
Somewhere in the snowy mountains where he barely managed to escape with his life, Ciel Midford closed his eyes because only white death greeted him.
Buried in the endlessly piling up snow, he vomited tears that could not even flow, waiting for his death.
But he didn’t die.
The skin that was destroyed and damaged by frostbite, and the body that had been thoroughly destroyed by hypothermia, was repeatedly regenerated by something warm.
It was a painful and painful moment, but… …
Ciel Midford set a goal, digging up the piled-up snow, and got up at the sensation they awakened.
Then he wandered around the snowy mountains like crazy, and in the process, he noticed that the energy that saved him from death was magic.
After that, when he arrived at the royal capital, he became a knight of the Lobelium Kingdom as if he was rewarded for his misfortune.
But Ciel Midford wasn’t happy.
If he bowed his head a little, the misfortunes he had suffered were piled up like piles of corpses beneath his feet.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Mother, younger brother, Euphemia, who were entangled in that misfortune… …As a knight, he was nothing more than a cordyceps plant that bloomed with their suffering.
“Ciel, why don’t you go get some rest.”
“it’s okay.”
“It’s not that I don’t know what role you took part in this envoy, so shut your mouth and go. Shouldn’t there be a change of atmosphere?”
“… … ”
“okay. don’t look away The reception is going to be quite long anyway, so we’ll just have to come back before 5 o’clock.”
“Yes. then… … Excuse me.”
At the words of the senior knights, Ciel Midford bowed his head and exited the cathedral on the 4th floor, where the reception was long.
Even the awkward armor now feels familiar.
“… … ”
When we got down to the first floor, it was still raining, so Ciel Midford took out an umbrella and headed towards the back of the cathedral.
The seniors who sent them told me to change my mind while looking around the capital of the empire, but the foolish self looked around at the parking lot lined with wagons.
“ah… … ”
and could see
After the reception, I left the cathedral first… …
Euphemia and Ferzen standing next to her.
“… … ”
fast!
The handle of the umbrella is cracked.
Unknowingly, he failed to control his power.
Quick!
Tuk!
A broken umbrella falls to the floor, and cold raindrops seep through the armor.
Euphemia… … El Laurenne Ruerg.
She raised her own claws, put her hands around Ferzen’s neck, and volunteered to kiss her.
“… … ”
Shoot!
The rain is sharply intensifying.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My hair got wet in an instant, and my eyes became blurry… …Euphemia and Ciel, the two clearly met their eyes.
Then, Euphemia raised her characteristic golden eyes, and wrapped it up with a faint sadness.
“… … ”
As soon as the long kiss was over, Ferzen gently stroked Euphemia’s hair as if praising, and walked out the back door of the cathedral.
thump, thump.
Heavy rain hits the armor.
The echoing noise was loud, but Ciel couldn’t hear it.
cackle… …
Suddenly, he sees himself taking steps.
Wearing an umbrella, she turned her back, but stood still as if she had no intention of moving.
cackle… …
distance is getting closer
Her back looked so dwarfed.
She wasn’t even that weak.
In just three months, she was so weak.
cackle… …
Upon arriving a short distance, Ciel Midford could see that Euphemia’s body was trembling slightly.
What should I say?
What should I say… …
“You can’t come by my side.”
A small word from Euphemia, full of worries.
How much I longed to hear the echo of a nostalgic voice.
“miss.”
How many times have I been called by this name?
“Are you happy?”
“yes… … ”
“Then you will be happy… … Show me too.”
“… … ”
Euphemia did not turn around in the end.
He didn’t look at Ciel.
And Ciel opened his mouth towards Euphemia as if that alone had been a sufficient answer.
“Do you remember?”
“… … ”
“You said you were not my knight, so you don’t have to sacrifice for me.”
“… … ”
“So I became a knight. I am now ready to sacrifice for you.”
In those words of determination and firm will.
Euphemia took a step and opened the carriage door.
“Ciel. There is no value in such a life. It’s my last request. for others… … Do not live.”
percussion!
The carriage door closes.
And the carriage drove through the rain, relentlessly.
But, Ciel knew what that cruelty meant.
“Did you know… … ”
The things I loved, the things I loved.
All of that, because I’ve never been able to protect it.
Ciel Midford wanted to live a life of protecting those things.
Even if death awaits at the end.
‘Don’t be sad… … ‘
Ciel was also human.
Why not dream of living together with Euphemia?
But the walls of the family called Brutein were too high.
So Ciel gave up the future with Euphemia and decided to draw a future where she could live freely.
At the end, even if the paint runs out and I can’t draw myself… …
never regret
