Chapter 29 – Unwanted Visitor (2)

As I gazed down slightly, I saw Ricdorian grab me, with eyes befuddled. For a beast, he looked confused. It was like he didn’t want me out of his sight.

“I’m not going anywhere. Just wait a minute.”

He was like a dog that instinctively felt his owner disappearing or leaving him, and even so, he shook his head and cried.

“Arrrfffff…..Arffff.”

“Huh? Good boy. Wait here.”

Speaking firmly, he may not be wearing the redemption necklace right now, but I felt his power slowly dropping. I took off the remaining fingers grabbing me and when I was about to pull out the last finger, I abruptly stopped.

It was because all of a sudden his hand held me. But it was a very cautious touch. Just enough to hold on to the fingertips. I stared at him and saw a very red face in the midst of that bloody appearance.

“Where…go…?”

The watery eyes stared at me, with tears at the corner of it that seemed to be proof that he was going through a painful state.

“…don’t go…”

I looked at my hands with a disoriented face. I don’t know what to do with this crybaby despite sensing why he is weeping right now. Ugh! I can’t handle him.

It’s unfair! I can’t stand that look on his face. I might give in.

I wasn’t even trying to run away from him. So I just firmly closed my eyes then exhaled deeply, and said..

“I’ll be back.”

“Rea…lly..?

I always knew that promises are meant to be broken, but there’s nothing else I can do at this moment. I needed to treat his wounds and I cannot do that without any first aid kit.

“You know pinky swear? I promise. Hang your fingers.”

I placed my hand on his little finger. Maybe it’s a move that he is ignorant about, but he simply stared at me and let me do it.

Shortly, I felt like someone was coming so I stepped back and turned my back. And the boy, who fell behind his back, wiggled, but there was something else that was more urgent.

Rattling.

I opened the cage and entered to see  Hans, who stared at me with a slightly surprised look with his mouth opened.

“Mister, do you have any medicine in here…” I asked him about some treatment but I was immediately stopped.

“No. No.”

No matter how kind a guard is. A guard will always be a guard. I bit my lips at his response. Then I put down the lamp and ran swiftly on the stairs.

“Iana? You’re leaving already?”

“Yes, but I’ll come back in an instant!”

Ricdorian’s wound was too severe. Will it heal quickly? Only I knew that the wound would one day be better, and that he must meet the heroine in that kind of condition. But I don’t like seeing him wounded and bloody. I don’t like him being in pain.

Where should I go? Where should I ask for help? Lenag? No. Definitely not! He may have already been out on personal business. I don’t know if he would come back once I asked him for help about Ricdorian.
