Love Letter From The Future

1. The First Letter (73)

His battered body begged for rest.

The muscles stiff like lead were heavy. It’s been a long time since my clothes were soaked with all kinds of blood. Either my blood or the opponent’s blood.

Among the bloodstains now decorating my jacket was the blood of a woman who had just collapsed. Delphine Yurdina, the heir to the Yurdina family, the 5th most prestigious family in the empire and the leader of the north.

She sat down, blankly looking up at me. It was a look that I couldn’t understand at all. It was no different from the rest.

A chilly silence settled in the clearing. But I didn’t mind. Only one thought ran through my head.

have to take revenge I will return Celine’s, Seria’s, and Elsie’s share.

My hatchet was thrown at her as she staggered backwards so that Delphine could not resist.

The blood splattered once again with the sound of a pop. It was a hand ax that was so simple that it was cool. Blood oozes out from between the blades of the ax that split his shoulder halfway.

“Kyahugh?! aagh!”

Delphine couldn’t stand it and screamed at the sudden pain that struck again. With this, both shoulders cannot be used. It meant that Delphine could never lift a sword again.

Whoa, a sigh came out of my mouth.

“It’s Celine’s job. And next… … .”

“You surrendered!”

Like a seizure, a sharp shout erupted from Delphine-senpai’s mouth. Grinding her teeth and holding back the pain, her eyes reflected a mixture of humiliation and anger. and fear.

Her eyes trembled slightly as she stared at the incomprehensible existence.

“Nobles do not attack opponents who have no intention of resisting! If you are a noble of the empire, you too… Turn it off?!”

However, her resistance was short-lived. It was because he picked up Delphine’s sword, which was rolling on the ground, and inserted it into her thigh.

The blade that had pierced the skin pierced the part that was presumed to be bone in an instant. I felt a strong sense of resistance. There was no need to go any further than that.

Delphine chewed her lips and held back the screams, but she couldn’t hide the moan that flowed from her mouth. I drew the knife crosswise again.

His skin was torn and blood was oozing out. Delphine seemed to want to hug her legs and let out a moan, but perhaps it was because of something wrong with her shoulder joint.

As she wriggles, a mournful sound escapes from the noble woman’s mouth. Delphine’s open eyes turned to me. Still, my expression didn’t change.

Taking a rough breath, I just glared at my prey.

“That’s up to Elsie-senpai.”

Delphine, who had been groaning and rolling on the ground for a while, seemed to have lost her pride. She staggered, but managed to get herself up. And that moment when I was about to open my mouth.

“Confucius with the hatchet, Huhwani… Kaheuk?!”

He took out the hatchet from her shoulder and hit Delphine-senpai in the temple with the side where the blade was not standing.

Puck, with a refreshing sound, Delphine’s body fell to the side. Her body twitched lightly. It seemed to fit right in.

Because it was the reaction you see when your frontal lobe is shaking. I watched the figure for a while, then opened my mouth in a low voice.

“That’s on me. Finally… … .”

“Kuhh, huh… Whoa, ahaha!”

Even though her head was buzzing and she was probably in the mood to vomit, Delphine-senpai burst out laughing like that.

I stopped talking and stared blankly at Delphine. Her bloody eyes glared at me with intense hatred. and a voice of admiration.

Without hiding her animosity, she was admiring my posture. Evaluating someone is the privilege of only those who stand above someone else.

Delphine-senpai still hasn’t collapsed. On the contrary, he gasped and even twisted the corner of his mouth.

“Awesome, great… Excellent, Hatchet Confucius. Is this the taste of defeat?”

“It’s what you’ve been doing. How is it?”

“It’s fishy, it’s bitter… It’s terribly spicy again.”

It would be painful. It must have been frightening, but there was an unconcealable fear in Delphine’s eyes as he looked at the hatchet in my hand.

Her shivering shoulders testified to her condition. It will be unbearably painful and terrifying. Violence inflicted one-sidedly had that much power.

Even so, Delphine did not forget to at least pretend to be confident. I don’t know how sincere it is, but at least Delphine’s appearance when he shouted that was haughty and confident as usual.

it was her She was a woman I had to admit. Tenacity and perseverance for victory, and the belief that justifies it.

It was admirable, and I didn’t like it as much.

My gaze moved slightly to the side. It was a troubled look.

“… … But, can you handle it?”

Delphine’s trembling voice tickled my ears. It was a woman who was doing her best not to stutter her voice even though she was breathing hard. It means you want to keep your pride.

My pupils, who had been looking to the side for a moment, glanced back at Delphine. She was still confident. It was not a threat or threat, but a voice filled with pure questions.

“Nobles do not touch surrenderers. And I am the heir of the Yurdina family, but your actions now… … .”

“Is it okay if I surrender?”

My calm voice forced Delphine to shut up again. Her puzzled eyes turned to me. My eyes looking down at her were as quiet as my voice.

“The game I risked my life for was almost taken away, Celine got stabbed in the shoulder by an axe, and Seria didn’t do anything wrong but had to roll on the ground after getting hit in the vital spot. It would be fortunate if Elsie-senpai didn’t get caught in the ice and get frostbite.”

“That’s what can happen at any time to determine victory or defeat… … .”

“Didn’t Delphine lose?”

My voice that came out like that was cold. I patted my palm with the back of the hatchet.

“Then you have to pay the price. Because I couldn’t win.”

Huhu, said Delphine-senpai with a light laugh. My shadow filled my bloody eyes. She had an alluring smile.

“You will be angry, I know. Because I understand. But in an aristocratic society, there is such a thing as aristocratic law. I am the rightful successor of the Yurdina family… … .”

“So?”

It was a very flat voice. So Delphine didn’t say anything for a while. It just stood still with a smile on its face, and only after a long time had passed, it looked up at me blankly.

It was an expression of incomprehension. The natives must have had this look when they saw an adventurer entering the new continent for the first time.

“You seem to be misunderstanding… This is a forest, not an aristocratic society. It’s a place where monsters roam, and it’s not strange if someone loses their life. Especially if it’s an opponent with a monster level that deserves a name.”

In a daze, ruby-like eyes looked up at me. I said nothing and took another step toward her.

There was no change in my expression. His voice was plain and simple, and he didn’t feel the excitement of emotions even in the steps he took.

As if just doing what had to be done, the executioner took a step. Delphine’s eyes began to shake.

“What, what are you talking about… … ?”

No answer came back. Tapping her palm a few times with the hatchet, I stood close to her. Delphine’s voice became urgent.

“My, the Empire has competent investigators! How much more can we not analyze the case of the death of the heir of the Yurdina family… … .”

“There are also a lot of demons around, and I wonder how much they will drool over the pieces of meat.”

I raised the hatchet in silence. Delphine sunbaenim’s body trembled as she lowered her gaze. It was an instinctive reaction. Everyone is like that when it comes to death.

Even more so if it was a death you never imagined.

Delphine’s eyes were filled with agony. Should I accept death as it is, or should I be persuaded?

Either way it didn’t matter. My overworked arm muscles tightened as if it were the last time.

I just wanted to finish it quickly and go back.

That was the moment.

“Hey, wait!”

Delphine senior shouted like a scream. Not only her eyes were shaking, but her entire body was trembling slightly. Her eyes were shaking violently.

I hesitated for a moment, then put on a look of annoyance. I want to press my temple with my free hand, but my left arm is a mess and has long since stopped moving.

So I looked down at Delphine with tired eyes. Just in case I changed my mind, Delphine quickly opened her mouth.

“That, stop… It’s my fault.”

Thinking about the humiliation, Delphine-senpai muttered that.

It was the sound of the majestic golden lion of the north collapsing.
