Love Letter From The Future

2. The Lord is with you (11)

“… … stop!”

Finally, Delphine couldn’t stand it any longer and shouted.

Tearing eyes turned to Ian. He kept his mouth shut, looking down at Delphine as if asking what was going on.

Tears fell from Delphine’s eyes. As she wriggled, she somehow twisted and turned over. It smelled of blood-soaked soil. Still, she was desperate.

As much as the sword, the sword could not be lost. Because it was everything she had been grinding and polishing.

It was a woman’s desperate plea.

“My, I was wrong… My, please have mercy.”

It was humiliating. My eyes were red with shame, and my eyes were trembling. But more than that, the fear that he might never be able to lift a sword again was great.

Delphine’s unresponsiveness made her even more nervous. Her mouth began to utter even more servile words.

“Yeah, forgive me… Forgive me, please. Par, as much as the arm… … .”

“Get down on your knees.”

At the cold voice, Delphine’s eyes blankly turned upwards. The man’s still golden gaze was piercing her down as if it were going to pierce her.

“It’s a showdown between nobles, and it’s a matter of life and death. Is your life worth that much? Get down on your knees and show your sincerity properly.”

Delphine’s lips twitched. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t dare to say it because the man’s voice was full of earnest sincerity.

Didn’t I beg while crawling on the ground, wasn’t my pride already shattered?

I’ve broken it into pieces that I can’t stand against you again, but I wonder if it’s still not enough.

I wanted to say that, but the moment Ian raised his sword again.

Startled, she started moving her arms.

His shoulder was shattered in half, and his tendons were cut, making it impossible to move, but he was able to move somehow by mobilizing mana.

However, the speed was remarkably slow. Even though I was moving urgently on my own, it was like that. Delphine quickly knelt down, fearing that Ian might change his mind in a moment.

And hit his head on the ground.

The lips were chewed softly. I cried, and I was filled with tears.

I thought I had already abandoned my pride, but it wasn’t. She said in a voice that trembled with humiliation.

“I-I was wrong… … .”

“again.”

Delphine gritted her teeth. I wanted to ask if I hadn’t gotten down to my knees, what the hell was lacking.

When she raised her head ferociously, Delphine met those golden eyes again.

There was not a single point of shaking.

The man was sincere. If that didn’t satisfy him, he was ready to wield his sword without hesitation.

And he’ll make Delphine’s arms and legs like minced meat. In order to leave a fatal injury that would make it impossible to hold a sword in the future.

Recalling that fact again, Delphine’s eyes trembled with fear. She quickly put her head back, and desperately used her sharp brain to figure out what was wrong.

And then, her mouth opened again.

It was a polite tone.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know the state or the subject… Whoops.”

I wanted to continue talking somehow, but sobs mixed in. Fortunately, Ian didn’t even bother with that.

Read at readwn

Just staring at her without saying anything. From Delphine’s mouth came a voice brimming with shame and humiliation.

“More, attack… Heck, that, even then… Huh, I have pity for me begging my life. … .”

Bowing her head, Delphine pressed her forehead against Ian’s toe.

It was an example of a servant showing the emperor. It was a great humiliation, but it was already spilled water. Right now, Delphine’s only thought was that she had to somehow get out of this situation.

“Boo, please have mercy. Hehe, please give me… Whoa… … .”

The sobs soon turned into sobs. Ian, who had been watching Delphine for a while, slowly withdrew the aura from the sword.

Putting the crying woman at his feet, Ian said in a low voice.

“… … Delphine Yurdina.”

Delphine, who was shedding tears, couldn’t answer. Ian also sighed as if he hadn’t expected the words to come back, and continued to say a few words alone.

“I’ve been living in a very narrow world. Neither the Yurdina family nor the academy is the world. There are all kinds of strong men and monsters out there.”

“Sureung,” echoed the sound of the blade sliding through the scabbard. It was the signal that the duel was over.

“Have you ever dealt with a vampire in the great flood? Who are the demons who made a contract with the evil spirit? Also, what about the priests of the Dark Church who are secretly moving between the Empire, the Holy Kingdom, and the Ten Kingdoms?”

He then turned his back. I meant to leave now.

“If you get hit by them, it won’t end with losing your life or being unable to hold a sword for the rest of your life. So from now on, it would be better to go after the opponent.”

Delphine slowly raised her head. There, golden eyes peering out from behind pierced the air with light.

“… … There is no next. Of course, the price of the life saved today is different.”

Hearing those words, Delphine’s body trembled. She hit her head on the ground again. Her eyes quivered with fear.

The man left just like that. leaving only the last word.

“Since you’re a noble, you must have at least one potion, right? I will call someone.”

If the demon comes, take care of it.

After that indifferent word, the sun set on that day.

Even after the man left, Delphine remained in the same position on her knees. Just brooding over the shame and humiliation, trembling, chewing until his lips bled.

she kept doing it

For a while.

“I’m sorry, but Lady Yurdina is refusing to visit.”

In front of the temple, I silenced the words of the theology student who seemed to be on duty today.

It could have been. I don’t know exactly what happened, but it was an injury to the point of being admitted to an intensive care unit. It was clear that Delphine sunbaenim was severely beaten by ‘me’.

I don’t know what the heck he did, though. Having a talented person like Delphine admitted to the intensive care unit, what kind of master would I become in the future?

It was a petty delusion. Even thinking to myself, I was dumbfounded and laughed.

Speaking of masters, they were strong men who had no one comparable to them on the continent. Beings who have reached the extremes of martial arts and sorcery and twist the laws of the world themselves.

If the conditions were met, they could not be defeated even with a single corps. Of course, only a few were able to reach that level.

Imperial swordsmith.

saint of the kingdom.

The Great Witch of the Southern Ten Kingdoms.

There were only these three masters of the existing continent.

Considering that a strong person who reached the level of a Master once lived for hundreds of years, it meant that a Master would only appear once in a hundred years.

I didn’t have that kind of talent. This was an objective fact.

Even Seriana Delphine, who had the best swordsmanship among the people I knew, couldn’t tell if she would reach the level of master. If I had that kind of talent, I would have been at the top of the 3rd year swordsmanship department.

As I was laughing and giggling alone, the theology student looked at me with a puzzled expression. It was the gaze of a strange person.

Only then did I come to my senses. Once again my troubles deepened.

How can I meet Delphine?

It was obvious that he wouldn’t believe me if I had to explain the messy situation. My soul from the future took over my body for a while, and I need to find out what happened in between.

It was fortunate that they did not hospitalize me on the spot. Then there was only one correct answer.

There was no other way but to change Delphine’s mind, and as far as I knew, there was only one way to do that.

“Could you lend me some paper and writing utensils?”

The theology student still looked suspiciously at me.

But, perhaps thanks to my recent rise in fame at the academy, he soon looked as if he had a good reason for doing so.

He held out a palm-sized piece of paper and a pen. I wrote down a sentence on a piece of paper with a pen, folded it twice, and handed it to the theology student.

“Could you pass this note on to Delphine-senpai? You’ll know when I say I sent it. If you still don’t want to be visited, I give up.”

The theology student looked bewildered, but seemed to have decided to follow my words for now.

He soon disappeared down the long hallway of the temple.

After a while, he came back and looked very surprised. He said admiringly to me.

“Mrs. Yurdina has allowed us to visit… You didn’t even let your aides in, so what the hell did you do?”

“Hahaha, it’s a secret.”

I evaded the man’s question with an awkward smile.

That was all I had to do.

How can I say, that the sentence written on the note is that kind of content.

‘If you don’t want to be beaten again, get a visit.’

that was my best Persuasion was long, blackmail was short.

I sighed and followed the theology student’s guidance to Delphine’s hospital room.

While thinking that it would be nice if I hadn’t suffered too badly.

Warm sunlight was streaming in through the windows.

A neat room made of pure white marble, now a familiar sight. I’ve heard of it many times, and I’ve even come to see you in the hospital.

Brilliant golden hair scattered sunlight there. Raising her upper body, she was looking out the window without saying a word.

I could tell just by looking at the back. It was Delphine senior.

It was a bad relationship for me in many ways, but now I was in a position to seek her cooperation. After clearing my throat, I let out a voice as cautious as possible.

“Me, Delphine-senpai?”

Only then did the woman’s head slowly turn. And, facing me, the bloody eyes remained blank for a few seconds.

It was the moment when I finally met her.
