Chapter 85 (2/2)
As Michael answered the doctor, his hands were already over the incision
His eyes, glaring sharply at his hands, were filled with an unyielding will Sweat started popping up on his forehead It was apparent this took a lot of concentration Right in front of reen It was not bright like Lutz’s or Theo’s but instead was rather complex and beautiful, like a clear, deep lake
Michael’s hands were now ehtly illus and painted shadows on his delicate face
It took soe
His stiff body started to relax, the fingers that gripped the sheets loosened, and the veins that throbbed on his hands faded
It’s good that you’re feeling better
But after I saw his coe
Klaus’ brows no longer had wrinkles between the relieved, it made me even more uneasy He looked too relaxed, like a doll without life
My uneasiness didn’t subside and Klaus’ backuncontrollably
I felt his back with my hand It was ice cold The terror I felt then made me want to scream
I could hear Death’s
hear Death’s shallow footsteps approaching
“K…Klaus!!”
I cried out as loud as I could to shake off my fears
“I won’t forgive you! If you die without ive you!”
My voice was shaken as ardless
“Aren’t you my escort?! How dare you die at a place like this?! How irresponsible can you get!?!”
I wanted to slapthat
He had protected me countless times already He had also worked his hardest and fulfilled his duties
I was the one as irresponsible I had wanted to go to a dangerous place like this, and yet I still had the audacity to depend on others to protect me when I couldn’t even protect myself
Hey, Klaus I wonder if I shouldn’t have asked you to come with me
Or if I shouldn’t have gone on a journey in the first place
I thought that a powerless girl likethe price for ance
My large teardrops fell onto the back of Klaus’ hand They mixed with the dried blood and traveled down to the sheets, creating a thin, red line
“Klaus… Hey, Klaus!”
If you die noill I ever repay you?
I rejected your advances to close our distance many times
Whether it be your love or your obstinate loyalty, I had never tried to understand you better
No matter how much time passed, you were always an aard and troublesome escort
Since the tiht that nothing had changed
I relied on you
Even when I thought that I hated it, or when I thought that it was troublesome, I still relied on you
Thinking about it, you were just like a real brother to me
“E-Even if you die, I will go on without you! And if you die, I will leave you right here! Got that?!”
Thinking back, I was just spouting nonsense
I was throwing a tantrum like a child Even a five year-old probably had a better
had a better vocabulary than I did
What I said was hideous, but I couldn’t stop
“You won’t be able to go back to Nabel… You don’t even know anyone here! When you die, no one will come to bury you!… And ht with you?!”
My voice was truly shaken
It beca It didn’tbut hysteria
Still, it reached him
There was only one person I wished ht at that moment
“That would be… a problem”
“!?”
I couldn’t co
First I thought so with my ears, then I doubted my eyes
The hand that I was holding th and temperature took hold of my hands I could not express in words how much it surprised me
As I watched Klaus speechlessly, his eyelids slowly opened
Those eradually start
His eyes surveyed the rooure, and they gently stared up at me
“Rosemary-sama”
“…”
Hic
My lips trembled I wanted to call out to him but the words were stuck at the back of my throat I wanted to know that this was not a dream I stared at him, but I couldn’t see very well My eyes were blurred by tears, and my vision was distorted It seemed I couldn’t rely on my eyes either Why was I so useless at times like this?
A teardrop flowed down my face My throat was sore and my ears muffled
“Ah, please don’t cry I can’t move my body”
Klaus was troubled and muttered softly
“I can’t wipe your tears like this”
What was he talking about?
He’s not going to do so stupid like that I won’t allow it
And I won’t thank him either
Klaus, who then decided to be a little hed
