“Then please take care of it, Leon. Get a doctor from town.”
“I get it, so go!”
Walter grabbed the sword that was lying on his bed and jumped out the window. His anxious blood quickly spread from his heart throughout his body.
Tak, tak, tak
His steps, climbing the counterclockwise spiral staircase in one go, became faster as he went up. Dead bodies dressed in black clothes were lying one by one on each step. It seemed like Cedric’s movements, who must have been chasing them from behind, were clearly visible.
Whiing.
The door to the top of the tower was open. A black shadow leaping through a window with a cold wind blowing in. And then the sight of Cedric shouting while holding on to the fallen Valtri came into view.
“Lord, wake up… !”
Walter’s vision suddenly became blurry and he had to shake his head once. Cedric, covered in blood, saw Walter and shouted, but his voice was muffled.
“Walter!”
The sight of his stubborn father, who always seemed so strong, lying bleeding out was extremely unrealistic. A blood-covered sword was lying next to him.
“Fa… Father… ?”
Walter muttered in a whisper with his eyebrows drawn together and a lost expression on his face. When Valtri saw his son, he tried to open his eyes that were trying to close.
“… Ed … en….”
Blood burst out from his lips.
“… have to protect Her Highness… Kugh… .”
Valtri could not finish his sentence. His bloody hand stopped moving, unable to reach the sword.
“Walter! Get yourself together! Where’s Eden?”
Walter’s eyes, which had been blurred by Cedric’s shout, found light. The noise of the space was suddenly sucked into his ears.
Eden. Cedric called her name and the vein in his neck rose.
“They’re looking for Eden. Go to her quickly!”
Goosebumps appeared all over his body. Walter, who was staggering, held his sword tightly.
“I’ll be here, so hurry up and leave!!!”
He clenched his teeth. He passed Cedric and Valtri in an instant and threw himself from the window at the top of the tower. A cold wind wrapped around his entire body.
The moment he landed on the floor, his jaw trembled.
Thud.
Thud.
He could hear his anxiously beating heart in his ears. Heat rushed into his eyes and they were hot.
“Ha….”
A long puff of white breath blew out from Walter’s lips. Get a hold of yourself.
The words that Valtri had emphasized to him countless times when he was young came to mind.
“Don’t think about what you can’t do, think about what you can do. Walter.”
What you can do.
He repeated those words with his dry mouth and shook his head vigorously. He focused his vision with his hot, wet, blurry eyes. A long row of footprints continued in the white snow that had piled up all night. The footprints were heading beyond the castle gate and into the forest.
The moment the afterimages of Fabian and Leon, who were covered in blood and collapsed, and Eden, who was coughing up blood and closing her eyes, overlapped, he had the illusion that he himself was being strangled. Walter’s legs moved of their own accord.
All he could do now was save Eden, who was waiting for him without knowing anything.
“Ha…. ha… !”
He left the castle at once. The forest path he ran every day while competing with Eden was too long. Cold snow blew and stuck to his face.
“Come back quickly, Walter.”
Eden’s last voice, whispering to him, rang louder and louder. His both shoes had already come off, but Walter didn’t even notice. He gritted his teeth and ran, stepping over freezing cold stones, dirt, and sharp tree branches, toward the cave where Eden was alone.
“…Walter!”
The person who called Walter’s name while he was running frantically was Peter, who was chasing the enemy with blood all over his body. The moment the guy in front of Peter turned around, Walter’s sword cut his waist in two.
“Walter! Eden… !”
Leaving behind Peter’s shouting behind him, Walter ran towards the cave again. Splash. Splash The mossy spring water froze his feet, but he felt nothing. His heart was anxiously constricted, and it was only painful.
“Haa… ! Haa… !”
He eventually came to the forest.
Eden, who was waiting for him without knowing anything, did not even have a sword.
“I love you, Walter.”
When Valtri dropped the bombshell statement, he escaped from the castle, holding Eden’s hand. Unable to bear his confused emotions, he walked quickly while breathing heavily. And Eden’s voice called him out and she whispered soothingly.
“Nothing changes.”
As she smiled with tears in her eyes, the only thing she held was his hand. It was his own fault for being in such a hurry. It was his own fault for forgetting his duty of using his sword as a pillow even when he slept, and acting stupidly without being able to see anything in his eyes.
What should he do if something happens to Eden because of that?
No.
Walter clenched his teeth in a situation he did not want to imagine. No one will be able to touch a single strand of Eden’s hair.
Eden. Please. Please just wait until I’m there… !
“Let’s cut off the throat, just to be sure.”
When he finally enters the cave, what he sees is several corpses lying next to her. And in the middle of it all, it was Eden who had collapsed. The moment he saw the figure of the man holding Eden by the hair and pointing his sword at her, Walter’s eyes turned into madness.
“… Huht!”
Walter ran and threw the guy who was trying to cut her throat. The sound of all the bones in the man’s body breaking as he hit the cave wall was heard. He grabbed the guy’s head and cut off his throat. He grabbed the shoulder of another guy who was running towards him with a knife and cut the stomach open, blood gushing like a fountain.
“Uh-ugh… !”
One of them ran away, leaving his fallen comrade. A bloody knife flew out of Walter’s hand. The guy whose heart was pierced fell forward with the knife still stuck in his body.
Walter approached Eden as she fell and grabbed her. The large hand that had killed three people in an instant was trembling and couldn’t even feel the pulse behind her ear.
“Eden…. Open your eyes…. Eden… it’s okay…. Because it’s okay….”
More blood seeped to Walter’s tunic. Her chest, neck and back. Dark red blood was flowing from Eden’s entire body.
