Dear Eddert

Chapter 26
Translator: effe

It was a story that was rather hard to believe. But considering what happened last night, it wasn’t nonsense. Above all, the man’s serious face toward her was not lying.

“Right. Then….”

Gulp. Hyemi, nervous, swallowed a gulp and opened her mouth with an effort.

“You and I are… We were lovers.”

Not a normal one, but more like a pair of nasty ones. They must have been the ones who showed affection even in public places and made the lonely singles uncomfortable.

His face, with thick and clear lines, slanted, and slowly descended under her. Her pulse was beating at the same speed as the large hand, which wrapped around her face.

“Please answer me.”

Hyemi raised her head and looked into the man’s eyes who was breathing hot.

Who was feeling this distant, comfortable, and pounding feeling that blooms from the depths of the heart? Was it Eden? Or was it Hyemi?

“Eden.”

His lips stopped within close contact and let out a small whisper. Hyemi opened her mouth, trying to hide her confusion.

“Eden and you… Did you love each other, Walter? Well. It was clear that it was.”

Hyemi seemed to be able to barely comprehend all the circumstances in the situation. If she really was Eden, then it explained why, far from rejecting Walter’s body, she rather welcomed him.

“Yes. I did.”

Walter whispered.

But why?

“But why are you….”

Hyemi looked into his eyes and asked in a quiet tone.

“Why are you making such a painful face?”

A corner of her chest tingled again.

The thing that bothered her from before was the man’s expression. It would be normal for him to rejoice if his lover, who had died, had come back to life. Even more so if he was sure she was Eden.

But what filled Walter’s face was far from joy. It was something of a mixture of longing and suffering.

“Is it because I lost my memory?”

Rustle.

Instead of answering, Walter knelt down in front of her. His face slowly turned to the floor. It was his lips that touched the top of her feet, who frowned in embarrassment.

“What are you doing now?”

The hair on all of Hyemi’s body stood up at the sensation of his warm body temperature and breath.

As Walter’s head turned lower and lower, she panicked even more and tried to pull herself out, but her ankles were held so tight in his hands that she couldn’t move.

“… excuse me…. Please let go of this for a moment….”

The young warrior’s face slowly turned upward. The man with hot dark brown eyes spit a mournful voice towards her.

“Even if I wanted to forget the painful memories, I have nothing to say. I only swear by this one thing. I can do everything for you. I will never leave you alone or hurt you again. I swear by my name, Eden.”

Hyemi was embarrassed and waved her hand.

“This… It’s okay if you don’t even do this. I don’t think I would have died because of you… . No, even if that’s the case, it’s already a thing of the past, isn’t it?”

A blazing fire blazed from her caught ankle. Hyemi raised her voice, pleading with Walter, who knelt down on his knees and didn’t look like he would get up soon.

“Because I came back alive…. It’s alright now. Can’t you just get up for a bit?”

“I can’t get up without your permission.”

“What… Permission?”

In front of Hyemi with her eyes wide open, Walter took a deep breath. In his almond-shaped eyes, his pupils glowed hot.

“I, the head of Sernotti, Walter Sernotti, dare to want to be Your Majesty’s.”

The voice seemed to emit the boiling heat from the inside.

“Will you allow me to use my humble life for Your Majesty?”

It was an expression that looked too painful to be called the innocence of a knight who was loyal to their Lady. No, more than that, what was he even talking about?
