Chapter 55 (2/2)

I hurried anyway and went towards the room that made that sound.

A voice was calling me from behind, but there was no way I could’ve heard it.3

I opened that door, what was before my eyes was…… wind raging inside the room.

When I look inside, four men were collapsed in the corner of the room.

Although they weren’t moving, they seem to be alive.

Leaving that side…… at the centre of the raging winds was Sakura.

The moment I saw Sakura, my heart was awfully disordered.

Sakura’s had an appearance with shackles attached to her hands and feet and her clothes teared, her eyes flowing with tears was empty as if it reflected nothing.4

Her lips were slightly moving, it seems she’s muttering something, but the wind was interfering so it couldn’t be heard.

Guessing from the movements of her lips, it looks like she’s repeating the word 「no」.

「SAKURA! ARE YOU OKAY?」

My voice involuntarily came out.

There’s no way she’s okay. Although I knew that, I couldn’t find any other words to say.

As if Sakura didn’t notice me, she doesn’t change where she’s looking at.

「SAKURA!」

Those empty eyes turned in my direction after calling out a second time.

I unintentionally reached out my hand towards those eyes, but I was blocked by the wind and couldn’t move.

「Don’t do that, Your Highness! It’s dangerous!」

Len-dous.h.i.+, who caught up to me, restrained me from advancing.

「But Sakura is…!」

At this rate…… Sakura will break!

Quickly, if I don’t go to her side!

「Her sorcery is running wild! It’s dangerous to approach!」

Sorcery is running wild he says? Impossible! Sakura shouldn’t be able to use sorcery.

The moment I tried to somehow approach Sakura, Sakura’s body suddenly collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.

Together with that, the wind that was violently blowing in the room rapidly stopped.

「SAKURA!」

With the wind that was blocking me disappearing, I hurriedly rushed over to Sakura.

I confirmed the collapsed Sakura’s breathing, the moment I discovered she had only lost consciousness, my whole body seemed to have lost its strength.

Immediately recalling the figure of Sakura, I wrapped up Sakura with something that looked like a mantle from another person then gently embraced her.

After that, I ordered the knights that rushed into the room to capture the collapsed men, placed Sakura in a carriage then proceeded to the Royal Castle.

I carried Sakura to a guest room and decided to entrust Chiffon to take care her.

It seems the carriage that the knight who rushed in saw had already disappeared.

I’ll have no choice but to squeeze it out from the captured men regarding this.

Having injured Sakura, I’ll have you regret it…!

Two days after that, Sakura woke up and I got in touch with her.
