Dear Eddert - Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Translator: effe
It was clear that the Pope, who shared the blood jewel with her, was waiting for the true heir to the throne. After Walter swallowed dryly, he let out a low sigh with his sweet vocal cords.
“You deserve to reclaim the throne, Eden.”
She was granted Benedict’s jewels as soon as she was born. The jewel made from the wizard’s blood only responded to the person it was imprinted on, and his jewel was the only evidence to prove that Eden was the one to succeed Klawe’s throne.
“…….”
Hyemi, who had been looking at the sword with an unimpressed gaze, finally raised her head towards Walter.
“No.”
No matter how much she thought about it, she came to one conclusion.
“The reason I’m going to see Benedict is not because I want to become Emperor, but because I want to return to my home.”
“This is your home, Eden. You have returned to where you came from.”
Walter bit the flesh in his mouth and spat out the words. Hyemi let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
“Walter, I’m sorry, but honestly, I don’t have the confidence to handle this situation. The scale is too big. I’m 100% serious.”
She felt like she didn’t have to act strong or hide her fears from him. Hyemi revealed her honest truth in a heated voice.
“Things like the throne, I’m not interested in it. It doesn’t matter to me whether Christian is a tyrant or a good monarch. I feel sorry for you, but I don’t remember anything that happened here anyway.”
Walter looked at her and furrowed his eyebrows together with a strange expression. Sweat formed on both of his fists as he clenched it tightly, for fear of hugging her who looked like she would disappear at any moment.
[“His Majesty Christian will become Emperor. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t become a good monarch or not. We’re not going to get out of here anyway.”]
His heart throbbed as he saw Hyemi repeating what Eden said to him before she lost her memory. As he thought about the terrible things that happened afterwards, a vivid pain wracked Walter’s body.
Even if his limbs were cut into pieces, it wouldn’t be more painful than the time he saw her with her body slaughtered and her life lost.
“It is also clear that this country is full of people who want to kill me. I’m scared of that.”
“It is also clear that there is someone who will risk their life to protect you.”
Walter struggled to open his dry lips and let out a low sigh. Hyemi let out a sigh and grabbed his arm. She could feel Walter’s body stiffening for a moment.
“So I’m asking you to help me.”
It wasn’t like she didn’t know that Walter was a good person. Aside from the fact that she felt a bit of a crush on him for a short time, she just couldn’t bring herself to live Eden’s life.
She almost thought it was a good thing that she didn’t have any memories. She felt sorry for Walter, who was looking at her with his hot eyes. She looked at him in pleading.
“If he was the one who took my soul, it would be possible to send it back. Take me to where Benedict is, Walter.”
“Nobody can enter the imperial palace. In particular, access to places where the Pope is present is strictly restricted.”
Walter’s voice grew somewhat stiff as he answered.
“… “Then who can go in?”
“Only the imperial family or those with permission from the Emperor.”
Hyemi’s eyes showed disappointment and fear at the same time.
Does that mean that she will eventually have to face Christian? Her body trembled just imagining coming face to face with someone she had never seen before.
“Ha….”
She wanted to hide somewhere if she could. This was just a gut feeling. She had a strong feeling that her fate would take a bad turn when she met Christian. She may have lost her head as soon as she met him.
“Walter.”
Walter stared at her with his deep eyes. As Hyemi looked at him with a face drained of all strength, she let out an impulsive word.
“…If I ask you to run away with me, will you go with me?”
His dark brown eyes shook silently as he stared at her. Walter said nothing for a moment.
He had thought about it several times. He wished, he hoped, he wanted to run away with Eden to a place where no one knew them.
When he saw Eden, who had said that she was not interested in the throne, the person who felt the most relieved about it than anyone else was Walter himself.
“I….”
Walter couldn’t continue his words and pursed his lips. He had dared to imagine her giving birth and raising a child like her. He was confident that in the past, his and Eden’s thoughts were heading in the same direction.
“I don’t want you to live a life of running away forever.”
When Walter finally opened his mouth, his voice sank low and trembled.
“You are destined to become the Emperor of Klawe, Eden.”
And he was destined to live as her shadow forever. Losing her because of his greed, and to be in so much pain to make him wish he was rather dead was enough in his life.
“You said you would be loyal and sacrifice your life for me.”
“… It is the Sernotti family’s duty to be loyal to the Emperor.”
Disappointment spread in Hyemi’s eyes. Hyemi didn’t know how Walter felt about not wanting to make the same mistake twice.
“I am loyal to you, who will become the Emperor. Eden.”
As Walter finished his sentence in a cracked voice, Hyemi was silent for a moment.
“… I see.”
