Chapter 26 - Heilon (2/2)

That was no good. If he was stuck in Heilon, the story couldn’t proceed at all.

“Except that.” Smiled brightly.

“You’re … so contradictory.”

“Wherever you are, except that. Isn’t it good that you have friend you could ask for help when there is a crisis in your life?”

Sigren sighed lightly.

“Fiona…”

“Hmm??”

“What do you think of me?”

“I regard you as the most precious thing in the world.”

“Then what would you do if i left for somewhere?”

“Of course I’ll see you off hoping you’re safe. I’ll run to you if you need help.”

“….”

Sigren looked at me with a look that he was slowly getting angry. As expected, he was becoming more and more like Abel as the days go by.

“Forget it. I’m a fool asking for you a question.”

I let out a small sigh at the cold reaction.

“You’re sometimes too cold.”

“That’s what i’m going to say.”

“Never mind. Let’s stop talking.

He was a grown man now, but he was still a child.

I looked at Sigren for a moment, then turned around, slowly walked towards my bed, trying to find my blanket. My shoulders were shivering for some reason. So, I wanted to wrap my blanket around my body. But I couldn’t remember where it was. I think the maids washed it and put it somewhere, but I didn’t know where.

Then, something fell lightly on my shoulder. I turned my head slightly to check that it was the blanket I had just been looking for. It must have been Sigrid who found this in the room. I smiled inwardly. Even if we were upset with our childhood friends, we would do anything for them.

“Sigren, thank you for finding me…”

“Fiona…”

At that moment, a warmth wrapped around my back with the sound of my name being called. It wasn’t just the warmth of the blanket. There were two strong arms stretched out over the blankets wrapped around my shoulders. Then a low voiced echoed in my ear with a sigh.

“If you were going to leave this place, then just stay in the capital.”

“….”

Sigren had grown rapidly in recent years. He had grown so much taller than me. He hugged me from behind, but I felt like I was trapped in SIgren’s arms.

“Why all of a sudden?”

Wasn’t he upset I was going to the capital?

“Come to think of it, it’s nothing new. Isn’t it like this all the time? Wherever you are, I will definitely…”

Suddenly, the young image of Sigren, who blushed and said he would definitely come to meet me, overlaps with his current words.

“—follow you.”

After saying that, Sigren’s hands slowly fell away. Even though I was covered with a blanket, my shoulder trembled a little as his body temperature went away.

Finally, Sigren whispered as if he swore. “So, wait for me in the capital.”

BANG.

The door was closed.

Then I took a deep breath and stared at the door Sigren had just closed.

It was a death flag if the protagonist did something he didn’t usually do.

I trembled with unknown anxiety.
