Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (79)

The news that I had regained consciousness caused an uproar in the mansion.

Because of that, I had to greet many guests.

The reunion with the women was especially dramatic.

First of all, not only Elsie-senpai, who never wanted to leave my arms, but also the saintess collapsed in tears as soon as she saw me.

She was always bold and arrogant.

But seeing such a weak reaction, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

Celine and Seria also showed strong reactions.

Seeing me, Celine stumbled over and put her palm on my chest.

Then he dug into my arms and let out a silent sob.

I had to pat Celine on the back for a while.

Just like Elsie-senpai did.

Seria couldn’t even come close to me.

It was because his legs gave out and he collapsed on the spot.

As soon as Seria saw me, she covered her mouth with both hands and collapsed, showing only tears.

It was a bewildering reunion for me.

I’ve had several serious injuries so far.

On the contrary, it was more surprising that the lifeline was still attached.

From the hunting festival, orphanage, and homecoming festival, there was no simple ordeal.

They were battles in which he had to risk his life and managed to win on the threshold of death.

Of course, in the process, there were many times when I was hospitalized.

It was a natural result since it was right after he passed the death penalty.

Whenever that happened, my acquaintances would react strongly, but the women I witnessed today looked a little different.

It was not the attitude of facing a seriously injured and recovering person.

Rather, it was closer to the attitude of treating a person who was dead and alive.

And my intuition soon turned out to be true.

“How did you live?”

It was Leto’s greeting.

It was spectacle to say to a friend who opened his eyes in a month.

Of course I wasn’t angry.

Because Leto was originally that kind of guy.

Rather, it made me feel a little reassured.

He was busy wiping away the women’s tears. Soothing a woman who was crying without knowing why was close to hardship.

Rather, it was easier to respond with a plain reaction like Leto.

I held my chin in my thoughts for a moment, then asked a question just in case.

“……Did I almost die?”

“Then did you think you would live?”

It was a blunt reply.

At the same time, it was also a point that had nothing to refute.

Eventually I had to let out a small sigh.

Now I realize how crazy I’ve been.

A voice like a sigh escaped from my mouth.

“Wow, I almost died.”

“Thanks to that, the past month has been hell.”

Saying that, Leto leaned against the back of the chair.

It was a face that seemed to have lost its soul. It was a passage that allowed us to guess how much Leto had suffered over the past month.

His body slid off the chair.

“You don’t know how scary a woman can be on the verge of losing something precious… I have tasted a part of that abyss.”

“… … Was it that bad?”

“Don’t talk.”

Saying that, Leto’s body trembled.

Thinking back, it was like a nightmare.

Leto chewed and spit out.

“Your condition that I rescued last was not good. I started with the sick right away and gathered up things that could be used as sacrifices, but even then, they said they didn’t know when they would die.”

“… … I’m sick of it, can you bring more?”

At my impudent reaction, Leto laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

He seemed to be trying to bruise me, but then he sighed and shook his head.

It had to be.

As arrogant as my words may sound, they were partly true.

It wasn’t me just rolling around without any insurance.

I was once the owner of the Dragon Blood character, and I had a record of giving lifesaving benefits to the princess who was descended from the imperial family.

Even more so, my injury was obtained from dealing with the family of evil spirits.

It’s embarrassing to say it yourself, but that day’s battle belonged to a heroic struggle. Of course, whether it was an empire or a holy nation, he would have to pay a reasonable compensation.

In other words, it meant that he deserved to receive at least one or two gods.

My priest in charge was not talking about anything.

The saintess was the best medical personnel with professional knowledge and skills, and was a person who could treat any injured person if she was given something new.

Literally, it’s just a matter of staying alive.

I have been fighting with such a single thought.

But unprofessional beliefs sometimes lead to dire consequences.

“There is a time for treatment… I don’t know if it’s your first injury, but you’ve been overdoing it. He said his condition worsened before he even got the new item from anywhere.”

can it be

The standard of slander that remained in my head was Emma.

At the time, Emma had been living for a long time despite spilling her intestines. I had heard that as long as there was a skillful priest, they could keep their lives forever.

So I inadvertently thought so too.

No matter what kind of injury it is, it will be all right as long as there is a sacrifice.

It was also a misunderstanding caused by the saintess being an overly competent healer. No matter how many times the saintess warned me, in the end, I always woke up.

However, it seemed that this was just my one-sided idea.

I still couldn’t forget the image of the saintess who saw me regaining consciousness.

The confident woman collapsed at once, crying and putting her hands together.

‘Lord, Lord, thank you. Ooh, for saving our Ian… Ugh, black… … .’

I swear it was the first time I had ever seen a saintess weep like that.

It was at best that she complained to me with teary eyes.

Only then did I feel guilty.

I felt like I had troubled so many people.

In the end, I had to scratch my cheek with an embarrassed expression.

“I-I’m sorry. For worrying me… … .”

“If you do it again, you will die by my hand.”

Of course, Leto only snorted and added a bruise.

“Next time, go find them one by one and apologize… It would be nice to have some intimate time, especially with women.”

“… … why?”

“Just do it, kid.”

He didn’t even answer the question.

Even as I grumbled inwardly, I thought to myself that I should follow Leto’s advice.

Leto never gave me bad advice.

Also, I was worried about the saintess and Elsie-senpai.

Celine and Seria felt like sisters by nature, so they weren’t too embarrassed when they burst into tears. It’s just a sad feeling ahead.

However, the saintess and Elsie were not seniors.

The two were like a strong support for me.

Not to mention a saint, isn’t Elsie-senpai also a ‘senpai’ for now?

Seeing the tears of the two of them made me feel sick to my stomach.

It was something I had to spend a lot of time appeasing.

Even if I don’t, the two of them will come to me first.

In particular, Elsie-senpai never tried to leave my arms, to the point that the saintess had to subdue her with the holy kingdom’s jujutsu.

Having sorted out one question like this, another question came out of my mouth.

“Leto, right after I fell… … .”

“How did things go?”

As if he knew that, Leto immediately grabbed my words.

He began to tell me the story he had been preparing for me.

To summarize the story, it was as follows.

First of all, the disposition of the Percus family was suspended. Regarding the matter, not only did the Empire and the Holy Nation need to consult, but it was taken into account that it was unilaterally fraudulent.

In addition, I could hear the identity of the prosecutor I saw right before I lost consciousness.

Imperial swordsmith.

The great adult of the imperial family and the sole master of the empire personally stepped forward.

Heck, if you weren’t a swordsman like that, you wouldn’t be able to recreate the miracle of the day.

I heard that he helped the Percus family a lot to get a favor. The ‘case’ he mentioned at the end might have something to do with this.

He wanted to talk to me, but he said he was too busy to leave first.

But he said he had a story he had to share with me.

He said he would come back to me when I woke up, so it wasn’t long before I could face the legendary swordsman again.

There was no need to say goodbye.

The eyes of the imperial family were everywhere, and senior Neris would still be staying in the mansion.

Right after I became conscious, he must have known about my well-being.

Sir Reynolds also seemed to be impressed with me.

He said that he had interviewed his parents several times before leaving.

“If the Viscount gives permission, I would like to pursue the engagement right away.”

I heard that my father had to go through a lot of trouble with that blatant suggestion.

The enlisted men of the Yurdina family left me and left a message of thanks.

“Tell this to Confucius Ttorai. It was an honor to be part of the legendary battle, and welcome if you want to settle down in the North.”

These were the words of Sir Alex, an old knight who led a thousand soldiers.

It was the highest compliment the fussy Northerners could give.

It meant ‘You are a warrior fit for the North’.

After that, many stories came and went.

However, there were still unanswered questions among them.

“… … Then, who is the masked monster?”

Leto exclaimed at my question.

It was a response to facing a problem that had been forgotten.

He let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes, there is no sign. It hasn’t been revealed since then.”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.

It felt like leaving a danger in the mansion.

However, it was impossible to clear up the suspicion right now.

I decided to investigate this later, and I asked what I was most curious about.

“How is Leah?”

Took, do.

Leto’s tongue, which boasted of his eloquent speech, stopped.

His lips were closed quietly.

An ominous silence fell between me and Leto.

I suddenly felt uneasy.

“… … Leto? What happened to Leah?”

“Lee, oh… Yes, Leah… … .”

He averted my gaze with a troubled face.

It was the first time in my life that a smirking man had such difficulty with me.

I was getting more and more impatient.

The moment the words of urgency were about to flow out of my mouth again.

“What should I say… … .”

Leto grunted for a while, as if choosing an expression.

And soon, a dejected answer came out of his mouth.

“It’s broken.”

As far as I know, it wasn’t an expression that could be used with a person.

**

Leah thought.

I am a monster, and I killed my brother.
