Dear Eddert

Chapter 27
Translator: effe

“I beg you earnestly. Will Your Majesty grant me the infinite glory of living and dying as a shadow by your side until you return to your place and find your throne?”

Throne…?

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Surprised, Hyemi secretly pushed his shoulder hard with the sole of her foot, but Walter, who knelt on the floor, didn’t move a single millimeter.

“Walter.”

“Say it.”

She couldn’t explain why she felt strangely betrayed by him, who knelt on the floor like a loyal dog. Was he not a lover but a subordinate? Hyemi ran her hands through her hair roughly.

“I will allow anything, so please let me go.”

“… Is it an order?”

“… Yes!”

When Hyemi let out a wailing sound, Walter just took his hand away. Hyemi put her knees together on the bed and grabbed her hair.

What did he mean by Your Majesty?

She was the Empress!!!

If there was no one watching, she felt like lying on the bed and kicking in the air. She thought she was at best a gladiator good with a sword. It was more than she had imagined in her head. The given information value is too small, and the scope to understand was as large as a mountain.

“Walter.”

“… Please speak.”

“Excuse me. It’s strange to suddenly be so respectful.”

Hyemi looked at him and frowned like a child.

“The character doesn’t suit you, so please just act casually.”

Walter looked at her and gave a strange expression. The protruding neck vein wobbled down.

“I feel like crying right now.”

“… It’s going to be confusing, I understand.”

Hyemi, who had messed up her hair, jumped up from the bed and walked to the table. After she pulled out the low chair and sat down, she looked at Walter.

“From now on, I will keep my mouth shut.”

“…….”

“Tell me what the hell happened to me from start to finish. Every little thing.”

Cedric told her to get her memory back by tomorrow. Before that, she had to figure out all the available information.

Why did she have to be murdered? Why was this not a palace? And, how the hell did Walter and her end up in a relationship where they slept together?

“Can you please?”

“… I will try.”

Walter walked slowly and sat across from her. The moment he looked into her eyes as she looked at him with swaying eyes, the countless memories of her pierced his brain like shards.

[“Puhaha. Walter. Do you know what a real wild boar is like, it’s like you who’s huffing and puffing.”]

[“You look like a bald eagle…. If I can catch you, I’ll keep your mouth shut.”]

The time when they ran side by side and laughed together was now over. From now on, Walter, as the head of Sernotti, had to protect her without revealing his existence.

That was the fate of Sernotti, who was called the shadow of the Emperor, or the assassin.

***

Year 175th of the Imperial Calendar, spring.

10 months before the coronation of Crown Prince Christian.

Sernotti territory.

“Die, you idiot.”

“Who is the idiot?”

Chaeng!

The two swords that met in the air trembled with a sharp metallic sound. Walter grinned at Eden, who was staring at him so as not to be pushed.

“Do you think you can defeat me with your strength?”

Eden bit her lips and smiled.

“It’s not just about having sword power. Greenhorn.”

Chechaeng!

The blade moved sideways and her body disappeared in an instant.

Damn it. Which way is it?

He lost her direction as she ran away in a dusty wind. Eden giggled as she turned her head towards Walter who was looking for her.

“The saying that ignorance and power are proportional is just the best thing to say when looking at you.”

Flap, flap.

Walter flew toward the yellow cornus leaves fluttering and falling. At the same time, Eden’s large sword, which had jumped down from hiding in a tree, pierced deep into the ground. It was a blow with momentum so hard that it was shoved into the dense soil so deep it reached the end of the sword’s handle.
