Dear Eddert - Chapter 14

“But why are you….”

Hyemi looked into his eyes and asked in a quiet tone.

“Why are you making such a painful face?”

A corner of her chest tingled again. The thing that bothered her from before was the man’s expression. It was normal for him to rejoice if his lover had died and came back to life, and if he was sure she was Eden.

But what filled Walter’s face was far from joy. It was something of a mixture of longing and suffering.

“Is it because I lost my memory?”

Rustle.

Instead of answering, Walter knelt down in front of her. His face slowly turned to the floor. It was his lips that touched the top of her feet, who frowned in embarrassment.

“What are you doing now?”

The hair on all of Hyemi’s body stood up at the sensation of his warm body temperature and breath. As Walter’s head turned lower and lower, she panicked even more and tried to pull herself out, but her ankles were held so tight in his hands that she couldn’t move.

“… excuse me…. Please let go of this for a moment….”

The young warrior’s face slowly turned upward. The man with hot dark brown eyes spit a mournful voice towards her.

“Even if I wanted to forget the painful memories, I have nothing to say. I only swear by this one thing. I can do everything for you. I will never leave you alone or hurt you again. I swear by my name, Eden.”

Hyemi was embarrassed and waved her hand.

“This… It’s okay if you don’t even do this. I don’t think I would have died because of you… . No, even if that’s the case, it’s already a thing of the past, isn’t it?”

A blazing fire blazed from her caught ankle. Hyemi raised her voice as if pleading for Walter, who knelt down on his knees and didn’t think of getting up.

“Because I came back alive…. It’s alright now. Can’t you just get up for a bit?”

“I can’t get up without your permission.”

“What… Permission?”

In front of Hyemi with her eyes wide open, Walter took a deep breath. In his almond-shaped eyes, his eyes glowed hot.

“I, the head of Sernotti, Walter Sernotti, dare to want to be Your Majesty’s.”

It was a voice that seemed to vomit the boiling heat inside.

“Will you allow me to use my humble life for Your Majesty?”

It was an expression that looked too painful to be called the innocence of a knight who was loyal to their Lady. No, more than that, what was he talking about?

“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 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 Emperor!!!

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 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 tell me.”

“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 her seat 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 she 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 you get caught, I’ll keep your mouth shut.”]

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

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