“Ah… !”

When Hyemi saw the body, she came to her senses again. Hyemi jumped up with a distorted face and started running out of the castle.

She has to get out.

She must run away from the castle as far as possible. It was the first time she had felt her will to live so strongly. In this fearful situation, she had no idea how many people were trying to break into the top of the tower and kill her.

The image of Walter fighting against several people alone flashed through her mind, but Hyemi quickly shook the thought away. As Walter himself said, the person he was loyal to was Eden, who would become the Emperor. Whether his heart is out of loyalty or love, it is not for her who has no memory of her past.

“Haa…. haa…!”

The cold dawn air brushed her cheek as she ran. Even the moon was hidden in the pitch-black darkness without any streetlights, but her eyes, accustomed to the darkness, clearly illuminated her vision.

Even though it was her first time outside the tower, she had no idea where to go. This was because a map of Sernotti Castle had been drawn in her mind.

“Haa… !”

As she ran, she stopped in front of a small cabin. The Tower of the Lord of the castle. And the old warehouse behind it. A place where old weapons that no one uses are piled up. It was a place where Walter and Eden had spent countless hours together since they were children.

Moments that she did not know whether they were memories from the story Walter had told her or from her own imagination ran through Hyemi’s mind.

“Eden, if the unfortunate thing happens that I become the head of the Sernotti family….”

Walter lay next to Eden, who was lying face down on the straw-covered floor. The fingers with protruding joints gently tap her bare skin in a march. The place where the careful hand finally arrived was her lips. Walter gently touches her lips and whispers in a deep voice.

“Don’t forget that you are more important to me than the Emperor.”

“Wow. If the Lord of Seong hears this, his blood pressure will rise and he will faint.”

“My Father is a strong man, I believe he will overcome.”

“You are truly unfilial.”

Walter snuggles into Eden’s neck and gently rubs against her ear.

“Instead, I will be the best husband for you.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed to say something like that directly?”

“Actually, a little.”

Walter’s soft laughter. The lips that came. A sweet kiss followed. Candles dimly lit up the dark night. Walter’s body temperature was pressing heavily on her body. his sweat. His husky voice rang softly.

“Eden, please allow me to have everything you have.”

“I gave you… everything already.”

There is an image of her breathing heavily in Walter’s heated brown pupils.

“Do you… love me?”

“I love you, Walter.”

“Keep telling me that.”

She held his face with sweat dripping down, and struggled at a distant climax.

“I love you… ! Aahh…. I love you, Walter.”

Hyemi clenched her fists and turned her head. Her heart pounded and she felt vaguely sad, but that was because she was too immersed in Walter’s story.

It’s just that.

Leaving behind the thoughts of Walter that was cluttering her mind, Hyemi ran forward again. She was thinking of going to the forest for now. She had no choice but to hide there and decide what to do next after the situation was resolved.

Neeeiigghh!

Hyemi turned her head at the sound of the horse neighing. Yellow lights were shining through the cold wind.

The first floor of the barracks. It was a place where horses raised by knights were gathered. Hyemi’s eyes wavered in despair when she saw the stable burning brightly in flames. She raised her legs and tried to ignore the howling horses and leave, but it was impossible.

Bang!

Coming back, Hyemi breaks down the flaming fence with her foot. The leather shoes she was wearing were hot. After hitting the floor with her feet vigorously to remove the embers from her shoes, she swung the saddle hanging from the ceiling and entered.

“Cough…. Cough… !”

Fortunately, the fire did not spread inside, but the smoke burning outside was even worse. There were horses much taller than she was, neighing wildly.

“It’s okay…. It’s okay….”

Hyemi covered her nose with her arm, and roughly cut off the reins. Horses that were locked in a stall and on the verge of suffocation, rushed out.

“Come out quickly…. hurry… !”

After she confirmed that every last one had come out, Hyemi went outside, catching her breath.

Chaeng! Chaeng!

As she got closer to the square, the sharp noise of swords clashing and the voices of the knights shouting became louder and louder. The large square located in the center of the castle had already turned into a battlefield between Sernotti and Kaplan.

“Haa…. What should I do… ? What to do… ?”

Hyemi rested her back against the warehouse and bit her lip. Cold sweat ran down her back, completely soaking her clothes. It was a clear scene of murder and death.

She didn’t want to get any closer, but the door to the castle had to be through the square. After clenching her fists and making a decision, she quickly ran towards the shadow of a large tree located in the center of the square and hid her body.

“Hu-ugh… !”

“Aaahhh!!!”

The knights gathered in the tower were fighting with all their might. And in the center, Cedric was shouting loudly.

“Don’t scatter! There’s Walter in the tower! Leave the tower to him, stay where you are. Focus only on the enemy in front of you!”
