Love Letter From The Future

659 – 8. Will (33)

The discharge procedure was surprisingly fast.

“It’s a body that can’t be broken anyway.”

These were the words of the priest in charge of me, Patriarch Eindel. Hearing the way he spoke, it was like he caught a cold, so I stopped laughing.

“Is that what the priest would say?”

“If life and death are in your hands, what more can I, a lowly servant, do? Just pray for Ian. Lord, look upon this lost lamb…….”

If left as it is, they would be held captive and would have to listen to long prayers.

I had to leave an urgent notice to prevent such an unfortunate incident.

“Then I’ll stop.”

“No, the prayer has just begun… ….”

“Enough. I also got roughly the information I needed.”

It was as I said.

Shortly after hearing that I had regained consciousness, Patriarch Aindel came to visit me and gave me a brief summary of what had happened. Most of it, though, was information about the battle of the day.

The two Seven Sins that attacked the academy quickly retreated. In the first place, it meant that the raid was not planned to target the relics stored underground.

In return, the envoys of the Southern Ten Kingdoms were destroyed.

The power of the empire was not safe, and only the power of the castle remained to some extent. The academy’s high-expert set had to suffer injuries as well.

However, it seems that President Delemore and Professor Adriana only suffered minor injuries. It’s because Celine focuses on tying her feet rather than dealing with the two.

Even so, the power that subdued the two in an instant was a level that could never be ignored. To the extent that some say that the Southern Ten Kingdoms, which have lost all their envoys, must dispatch the Archwitch.

However, the Southern Ten Kingdoms seemed to be condescending.

The Seven Sins of Delphirem.

The true power of the monsters that only appeared in mythology was slowly being revealed. What if, while the Archwitch is away, Celine heads to the Southern Ten Kingdoms instead of the academy?

Or one of the Seven Sins, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was fine. If they make up their minds and repeat raids and disappearances, it won’t take long for a country to fall apart.

Fear was a contagious emotion. Soon, rumors will spread throughout the continent that the enemy of mankind has returned, and if that happens, the empire and the Holy Kingdom will also try to crack down on my family first.

This must also have been the target of the Dark Church.

The prospect was bleak. The only thing sunny without notice is the weather.

So I deliberately opened my mouth as if nothing happened. Because I couldn’t show myself shaking.

“How is Her Highness the Princess? It must have been a big shock…….”

“Fortunately, I heard that there is nothing wrong with my body. However, as you know, psychologically a bit.”

Keuk, my hand covered my forehead with a light moan.

It deserves it.

Shien must have felt just as helpless as I was. I am terminally ill, my sister is in a coma, and all of my subordinates who have been with me for several years have their souls pledged.

In addition, the opponent can aim for his life at any time.

It was a difficult condition to stay sane. Considering his timid and timid nature, it wasn’t strange even if he was shivering in a corner somewhere.

I’ll have to get to you as soon as possible.

It was around the time I made up my mind.

“Come to think of it, did the swordsman visit you?”

“No, the only person I talked to after coming to my senses was the Patriarch… ….”

“Hmm, that’s strange. You must have been looking for Ian a few hours ago, right?”

It was pretending to be a monologue, but it was an implicit message to visit the swordsman as well.

I can’t believe there are so many people looking for him even though his body has become a rag.

I had no choice but to let out a deep sigh.

“First of all, I need to get myself in shape… I still feel my whole body creaking.”

“Of course. I told you not to overdo it, but to overwork your body that much… How were you able to write imagery in the first place?”

“Okay.”

At that point, I had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer.

Because I promised. Emma, who came that night, gave off a particularly secretive atmosphere.

From noble mtl dot com

“There is a good pharmacist.”

“No matter how talented you are, you can even stabilize your image…… ?”

Patriarch Eindel still had an expression of disapproval, but he didn’t seem to want to ask any more.

Instead, he gave me the answer I had been waiting for.

“Anyway, good. Again, if you want to fill even the shortest lifespan, please be careful… Please go back.”

“Are there any additional prescriptions?”

“Don’t be alarmed that you will vomit frequently for a while. It is proof that the body is disintegrating in real time.”

That was very comforting.

No, how can I say that being considerate is good? Rather than spending the rest of my life in a meaningless hospitalization, it allowed me to enjoy even a moment of freedom.

He was a difficult person to know in many ways. Archbishop Eindel.

That’s why it was even more suspicious.

I turned around and tried to get out of the intensive care unit. It was because the decision was made that all business was over.

Unexpectedly, however, the real exhaust bomb was revealed at the end.

“Come to think of it, it seems you have heard the news.”

“Yes?”

At the sudden words of the old priest, I had no choice but to look back. Perhaps it was because he saw the young embarrassment in my eyes, and the corner of Archbishop Eindel’s mouth formed a mischievous smile.

“Saint Lucia. He said he was coming soon.”

“No, what is that… Are you crazy?! I asked you to keep it a secret like that!”

A high voice that made me startle.

Even though it was a somewhat rude response, Patriarch Aindel only let out a chuckle.

“How can I close everyone’s eyes and ears? There was an uproar at the academy, and Saint Lucia must have heard the news that Ian passed out. For now, I hid the fact that it was a time limit as much as possible.”

“But, if you look closely, there’s no way you wouldn’t know…… !”

“Isn’t that something Ian-nim should take care of? At any rate, this old man can step down from his role as priest. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a patient who didn’t listen like this.”

It was a logically flawless explanation.

I would have nothing to say if the results of Celine’s academy raid were shared, rather than the information that I was terminally ill. Because at that time, not one or two people participated in the battle.

Of course, as the head of the Holy Kingdom, he had no choice but to listen to the related circumstances.

Perhaps news came that I was seriously injured in the process. That’s why he decided to go to the academy in such a hurry.

It was difficult. The person who took care of my body the most over the past year was the saintess, so there was a great risk that they would figure out my entire situation as soon as I looked at my body condition.

What if that happens?

It wouldn’t be strange if he was immediately imprisoned. It hasn’t even been a few months since they got married, but her husband dies.

If I kept my sanity, that side was even weirder.

That’s when I was washing my face dry and putting on a nervous expression.

“Not only that. There was movement on the Empire side as well.”

You mean ‘movement’.

It was the first sound I heard as a member of the Empire. As my eyes were once again stained with suspicion, Patriarch Aindel put on a benevolent expression.

A smile that seems suspicious at first glance.

“Everything seems to be changing, since the last raid… Perhaps the plate will be remade.”

I couldn’t understand the meaning yet. After a few days anyway, even if you don’t want to know, you’ll know.

For now, it was time to get stuck in a small room.

**

Night, dormitory.

I took a weary step and entered the room alone. It was terribly quiet and lonely in an unpopular accommodation.

It was then. The cough I had been holding back broke out.

“Cool! Cool!”

Every time you use it, a handful of black dead blood comes out. My body, bent at the waist and covering my mouth, slowly slid down with my back to the door.

It’s already out of focus. Is it because the aftereffects of the last battle have not gone away?

I remembered Patriarch Eindel’s smirking voice.

‘Don’t be surprised if you will vomit often for a while. It’s proof that the body is disintegrating in real time.’

Huh.

The sound of the collapsed wind passed through the teeth and was spit out. Indeed, it doesn’t seem like a quack.

I was dying.

Without finding anything, without solving anything.

My body staggered and headed for the sink. After rinsing my blood-soaked hands, I came out, and suddenly my eyes landed on the cupboard.

He kept several bottles of cheap whiskey. At least it wouldn’t have bottomed out.

A moment of hesitation.

Yes, it was only for a moment. I walked straight ahead, opened the cupboard, and took out a bottle of wine.

Drinking was fatal for the seriously injured. I knew it, but would my body get better if I didn’t drink?

Are you saying that this twisted situation will be unraveled? Celine has already crossed her line, and Emma dies without knowing how. Still, I couldn’t do anything.

Nothing!

My hand, trembling with unknown emotion, tilted the bottle. As I filled my glass, tilted it, and drank in succession like that, I contemplated my heart beating wildly.

Bitter, disgusting, hot. I feel like I’m going to vomit a few more blood right now.

I rather liked it.

Is this a failure? Had I been too naive?

A child who believes that he can save everyone with just baseless faith, and now sits on his knees waiting for a miracle without doing anything.

It was shabby.

My hand, unable to overcome my anger, blew away the precious glass. The fate of the glass that hit the wall was obvious.

Clang!

The sound of shards of glass falling on the floor pattered, and my body slid over the chair as if it were collapsing.

“f*ck… ….”

The gentle heat warms the eyes and brain. I forcibly calmed the surging hot water, got up and headed for another glass of wine.

The moment I took out my drink and looked back.

“Hello.”

The deep crimson eyes were staring at me. Dark hair and enchanting pupils whose erotic light stands out even in the dim light.

Even though it was definitely a woman he had never seen before.

I was confused by the fact that I seem to have known her for a very long time. Her heart stopped beating and her eyes and ears naturally fell on the woman.

As if it was destined from the beginning.

For a long time, I couldn’t speak.

“You… ….”

“The person you were eagerly looking for. And, the person I desperately want more than anyone right now.”

The woman sat at the table where I drank her drink, resting her chin on her chin and smiling faintly. I shook my head in despair at the name that suddenly came to mind.

“It can’t be, how could you… why not…… ?”

“Because I love all those whom God does not love.”

And silence.

A lot of emotions run through my brain. I recited it with confidence that even its origins were unknown.

“…… Delphirem.”

The woman’s name.
