Chapter 45

—There was the sound of the bell

Auguste Ignitia was listening to the ringing bells with a hazy consciousness

Was it so, or was it a funeral?

I hoped it’s a celebration

Auguste thought so

Because there were too many sorrowful events already

Someone’s voice was mixed with the sound of the bell

Aah, that was the voice of that girl

He had to get up soon

Auguste’s consciousness awakened slowly like a foa from the bottom of the deep ocean

Auguste was buried in countless white petals in a coffin placed in the hidden passage

The first thing he woke up to was his danger sense screa!’ at him

Erica Aurelia held the hand of Auguste as reaching out his hand reflexively

“Auguste-sama!”

Her voice echoed in Auguste’s heartelse, eventually he was fully awakened

Auguste regained his cal the petals around him as he raised his upper body

“Uuh, Erica……here is……? What happened to me……?”

“This is the hidden room of the cathedral”

“Hidden rooood job at finding this room Even the royal family who knows the folklore only noticed some of it”

“But, I’ht that you really died”

Now that Erica said it, Auguste just realized that the place where he was sleeping in was a coffin

A sed at his lips

“Uwah, I hope this is not an omen……”

“Good grief What a bad taste……o Ah, no, it’s nothing”

There was a cat on Erica’s shoulder

The cat pressed her paw against Erica’s cheek

At the lovely and charave a broad smile

“What happened? Who is that child?”

“Us happened, and I picked her up”

“Heeh, how envious Not only cats, but I want you to also pick this stray prince……wait, this is not the time to relax Confusion?”

Auguste remembered that he made his oay to the basement of the cathedral

Soue in some places, but he still understood clearly that the cause of the confusion was himself

“That’s right…… wild……”

No ht about it, he couldn’t recall what happened after he went down the hidden stairs under the

Auguste held his slightly sore head

There had to be so

So had happened before he entered the hidden roo discovered by Erica

Otherwise, Auguste couldn’t

explain it

According to Auguste’sup, he should have had only a sons and headed for the contract beast to wish for the utmost power’

Yet, in hih to make himself felt terrible

“The contract beast……that guy, did the beast do souy?”

“Auguste-sama, I also have just woken up, so it’s impossible for me to know that……”

“It’s fine, Erica There is so I want to check for a bit”

Auguste descended to the stone floor with the help of Erica and touched the wall beside him

He pushed the wall several ti his whole body

“It doesn’t open……kuh! It’s useless, the rooone, there is no trace of the cave”

“Auguste-sama……”

“Here, was the room where the contract beast sleeps……there should be the Burial Cha”

Just like sands scooped in the pals related to the contract beast fell out of Auguste’s memory

He couldn’t recall the face and name of that person already

As if it had been extracted, he already forgotten completely about that person

Auguste thought whether he was rejected

He ry with his selfish wish, and exhaust its civility towards him

Surely, the angel had gone away somewhere else

Auguste re of loss as if he lost a family member

Strength faded out from his knees, and he stuck in that state in front of the wall that was supposed to be a door

“Meow……”

The cat juuste’s hand

Auguste felt coic for some reason

He caressed the head of the cat and smiled

“Thank you, kind child, I’m fine”

“Mrrow, meow~”

While being stroked by Auguste, the cat made a sleepy expression

Erica sighed, she lifted the cat into her arms and pulled it apart from him

“Meow~! Meow~! Meow~!”

“Yes, yes, it’s still hectic right now, you can spend time with him later”

“Mrrrow……”

“Auguste-sama, let’s leave this place for now First of all, we have to e the confusion outside”

“What did you say? So the dragons are still out of control?”

Auguste aimed his consciousness outside

His powerful spiritual sensitivity expanded to its widest range as he wanted it to

Auguste,

to

Auguste, who instantly perceived the spirits of at least a hundred dragons, immediately shut his spiritual contact with them before he could perceive them too deeply

He felt his heart beating fast

Just by perceiving theons’ frenzied spirits were flowing back into him

What a frightening power

If he didn’t use it carefully, his own spirit and the spirits of the dragons would be hurt

Auguste strictly admonished himself in his mind

“……Auguste-sama?”

“Aah, Erica, don’t worry I just checked the situation for a bit Although there are ons are still in frenzy”

“What should we do to calm them down?”

“That’s right If we hts and on to directly calm them down from the inside at the same time……”

Auguste suddenly became silent
