Chapter 415 (2/2)

“Don’t you feel es?”

“I was speaking the truth”

Trying to hold h, I supported hed

My eyes widened in anger, this guy!

Maybe he felt , suddenly went silent

It was probably because I was looking for a way to get away fro back?”

I could walk away

I just wanted to ignore his were free to walk away, but I couldn’t get ave up and smiled

‘Haha, water is water, and iant is peaceful”

“Well, we are on the peaceful side”

Even if peace remained unseen, our country was indeed a peaceful one

This peace was all the effort that Ferdel had made over the past ten years

Most of all, when Caitel took down the nobles who declared civil war, Ferdel had taken dae in human resources

Of course, no noble families had arisen, and the other countries’ nobles had joined, so everything settled down, but in the past, I used to wonder if our country would be ruined Ferdel did think so once

Now that I had coone through a civil war

My gaze returned to Havel

“Pretiza will soon be at peace”

“It is an extravagant story for now”

I had said it sincerely, but Havel had a bitter smile on his face

I kneould react like that; I couldn’t hold back my bitter expression Pretzia’s reality was hard to overcohbor to have

It had been a long time since I heard the news about how Havel captured and killed reed to sell their estates over to our country

“After independence”

Havel glanced at me

His red eyes looked into ?”

I guess it was a bit of a shocking question Havel titled his head

“We haven’t concluded yet Don’t you think it is too early to ask for that?”

“I a

Havel, ent silent as ever, was thinking of an answer

“Well”

A deep silence fell between us

Everything around us felt still, but it wasn’t weird

Havel s Even if we become independent, I think I will live a life basked in blood for a while”

“I see”

I already knew that

Havel seemed to be shocked by my calmness

“What is with that?”

“Huh?”

The mood subsided In fact, for a second, I felt like I saw my dad in him

“No, just that…”

Caitel had a hard ti himself to smile Havel wasn’t too deep in the path of bloodshed, but his mood and the way he carried himself overlapped with Caitel’s pattern

However, after careful considerations, it was starting to look like Havel was trying to walk down the bloody path similar to Caitel

No, I didn’t want anyone else to experience that bloody path again I knew that the continent wasn’t a peaceful place to live in… but I hoped that ould find a real pace one day—he couldn’t go down that path

“Would you like to ith me?”

With a smile, I looked at Havel and asked

I had no idea as to why I had suggested that So

I s my mouth with my hand, I spoke in a low voice

“The path to my palace isn’t well lit”

I wasn’t proud of it, but thanks to ht—e shade for suht, a vast number of stars would pop in the black sky The path was quite popular a the nobles who visited the palace

“You ithto let a lady walk herself back at such a late tihed at my attempt to h o”

As Havel held , but now, he was the one looking after h The boy who said his hands bleed because of his sword training now had calluses on his palm

I didn’t knohat kind of a life he had to live through but feeling his hands made me want to look at the boy instead of the h
