Chapter 26: Heilon

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

Sigren then entered the room with a firm expression on his face. I thought he wanted to talk in front of the door, but I guessed, he changed his mind? II hesitated a bit and eventually took a few steps back. He then grabbed my shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

“You’re going to leave?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Don’t answer me with ‘uh-huh’. How can you decide that so quickly without saying a word?”

“The Duke said I’m now an adult so he told me to do what I wanted to do?”

Sigren mumbled harsh words towards Abel with his head bowed. If Abel heard it, he would immediately bang Sigren’s head on the floor.

I lightly patted Sigren’s cheek.

“You have to use good words.”

“Is that all you have to say to me now?”

“What else is there?”

“You.. Did you forget that we’ve ben together life and death for five years?” Sigren gritted his teeth.

“Oh.. you’re sad.”

Well, it was understandable. I was the only one who could call Sigren a friend. Of course, he would be sad when I said I’d leave.

I smiled, gently stroking SIgren’s fine black hair.

“Okay, I’ll write a letter to you.”

“That is not the problem here.”

Sigren grabbed my shoulders and shook them slightly as he was trying to wake me up.

I think I would lose my mind.

“Then, what’s the matter?”

“Everything, from one to ten.”

I looked at him and gently blinked. As he reacted so intently, I became calm.

“Sigren, are you thinking we’d be together forever?”

“….”

When I asked, Sigren looked strangled.

“We’re both adults. No matter how close we are as a childhood friends, it’s natural at one point of our life our road would splitt.”

When I went to college, I lose contact with my friends in elementary, middle, and high school. Although this world had no such concept of alumni, my point was still counted.

Sigren laughed as if in dismay.

“You’re too cold.”

“Could you describe me as rational?”

“Do you plan to stay in the capital all the time?”

“I don’t know. First of all, I just want to go somewhere warm.”

I hope he did not make a sad face. He was not a child anymore. Did he really believe that he would be able to spend time with me all the time?

I felt it was just his response because he couldn’t go to the capital. The capital was like the home that sought his life. It was Sigren’s hometown, but it was also a place where he had to avoid at the same time. However, if it went according to the original, he could come to the capital anyway.

I reached out and wrapped around Sigren’s cheeks.

“Don’t be sad Sigren. Wherever I am, I will always be on your side.”

Sigren looked at me with gloomy sunken eyes. I

I made eye contact with him and spoke in a calm tone, “Tell me you need help. I would come to you.”

“If I ask you to stay here with me?”
