Chapter 35 – A Hero’s Demeanor (2)

It is very difficult for human beings to face death, whether it is a mortal, a genius or a hero.

“I, Caesar Alex, the fifth princes of the Lombard Kingdom, if I can’t even deal with this level of enemies, then my efforts and talents are just that.”

Caesar spoke as if no one else was there and said lines that Rosie could not understand.

“If I died just like that, it means that I was not a genius at all. People like me are not worthy of being a hero, just a self-righteous idiot. If this is the case, even if I died, it’s no more than adding one additional corpse to this world.”

Caesar took a deep breath and wanted to calm his excitement, but the rapid heartbeat from his chest made him unable to keep calm.

Dong, dong, dong… That solid and powerful heartbeat will soon disappear with death, right? Caesar thought.

“But right now, I am still alive! I want to be the strongest man, become a hero! I can’t fall in a place like this!”

“Even if there is a day where I die, the ones to kill me will never be these filthy animals!”

“It’s still too early to give up!”

Excited clamor, futile struggle, these were all behaviors of the weak, the instinctive reaction that everyone will unconsciously make when they fall into fear.

Although he was saying very passionate things, but in fact, Caesar must be very scared deep down, right? Rosie thought.

Looking at the blond boy who was saying stuff he didn’t mean, at that moment, Rosie seemed to understand something.

Why does she like Caesar? Even she herself has been unable to understand.

She still remember that the first time she saw Caesar was at the entrance ceremony of Loran Academy. On that day, prince Caesar, stood diagonally in front of her. She could only barely see the side of Caesar’s handsome face from behind.

Just like right now, Caesar was diagonally in front of her, she could only see the side of his face.

From that day on, she hopelessly fell for Caesar. However, why? Was it just because Caesar was handsome? Or was it because Caesar was royalty?

In the end, was she just a flower fascinated by the handsome prince? Rosie has thought about it more than once.

But now she suddenly understood, no, she was not a flower, and Caesar was not a prince, not a lady-killer, not a hero. In her view, Caesar was nothing more than a normal boy——

This young boy who was willing to accompany her to the forest even if he was very tired, this teenager who was still unwilling to blame her even if he was tired, even if he was filled with fear, he was still unwilling to give up, the obstinate teenager that continued to battle the fear within himself.

Who she liked wasn’t the prince, nor the hero. She just likes the boy named Caesar that was standing in front of her.

“Hehe” Rosie laughed out loud.

She suddenly was not afraid anymore.

“What are you laughing at? Am I that ridiculous?” Caesar discontentedly asked.

“Of course! It’s very ridiculous!” Rosie wiped her tears, squinted, and replied, “You’re also very scared? Why do you want to hide it?”

“…” Caesar was stunned with her question.

“Oh… you, it couldn’t have been for my sake, right?” Rosie smiled and followed up. “If you were scared like me, then we really would be finished. You wanted to cheer me up and deliberately said those strange things to encourage me, right?”

“Hmph, stop being so presumptuous, I’m not afraid!”

As he said that, Caesar secretly used his left hand to tightly grab his right hand, trying to stop himself from shaking, but no matter how hard he tried, his right hand, still did not listen and continued shaking.

“Hehe, still quibbling? The sword is going to get shaken off by you!”

Rosie said as she climbed beside Caesar and gently held his trembling right hand.

“You, you?…” Caesar was surprised.

“Sorry, Caesar, it’s all my fault. I sucked so much when I was crying earlier.” Feeling the cold touch from the palm of her hand, Rosie held the palm of Caesar’s hand and gently placed it on her cheeks and gently pressed it on. “Caesar, from now on, I won’t drag you down anymore! Even if we die, we’ll die together!”
