“Rachel-sama, why did you enter enemy territory alone?” Makoto asked. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me with inquisitive eyes.

“I will explain later,” I said, “Before that, we must hurry to Lyra’s side… Lyra is… Lyra is going to die!!!” The thought of Lyra dying was so frightening that my body began to tremble. When I suddenly spoke in such an uncontrolled voice without realizing it, Makoto’s eyes went from searching to wide-eyed.

“…Lyra-san has taken on potentially fatal injuries?” Makoto asked. He muttered a word of shock.

“Yes… she was stabbed in the heart by His Highness Naaotto. Not only that, he pulled it out violently.”

“Eee!!” Yuki cried.

“Wha-!!” Naoto choked.

After I told Yuki and Makoto about the details of when Lyra was stabbed with a knife, they were both speechless and scared stiff.

“That’d be a fatal wound, wouldn’t it!!?” Makoto asked.

“She may have died instantly… But…” I answered, unsure.

Yuki recovered from her shock first.

Makoto regained his composure soon after.

However, the circumstances were what they were, and the fact that Lyra was in danger was the hard reality of the situation.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“We’re going!” Yuki said.

Makoto said, “But… But, Lyra is…”

I said to him, “Makoto!! Get a hold of yourself!!”

Yuki got up adamantly to show us that we were going to save Lyra. However, Makoto was still hesitant. He was probably very conflicted. He was thinking that he wanted to help save Lyra, but he was also thinking that he didn’t want to put me in harm’s way.

“If you’re worried about me,” I said, “don’t be. Please. Please help us in any way you can to save Lyra.”

“But… If Edward-sama ever found out…” he trailed off.

“Makoto-sama, you want Edward-sama to continue living, right?” I asked.

“Yes. Of course.”

“Well then, please take us to Lyra.”

“How does that follow?” he asked, bewildered.

“I will explain later. If we remain here like this Edward-sama’s life, as well as this empire, will stay imperiled.”

In order to get me into his grasp, His Highness Naaotto started a fight with Hazurattoon Empire – no, with Edward. I was a burden to so many. On top of that, now the mission was to save Lyra. That was if we could even come up with a plan.

“… If we find ourselves in a situation where you are in danger, Rachel-sama, I will protect you,” Makoto said. It seemed that Makoto, although loyal to Edward, couldn’t refuse to support me.

He should have refused, though. He should have forsaken me for bringing Lyra, his sweetheart, to death’s door.

Makoto… what a kind person he was. I could understand why Lyra was drawn to him.

“Let’s hurry,” said Yuki, “I know the location, too. It’s where we parted ways last time, right, Rachel?”

“Yes.”

“Understood,” Makoto said, “Shiro, Kuro – please transport us and follow Yuki’s directions.”

“Meeoowww.”

“Meow.”

Shiro and Kuro answered, and began to exude a pale light. We all became one with this pale light, and the next thing we knew, we were in the house where I was stabbed by His Highness Naaotto.

There were no signs that anyone was around, so His Highness Naaotto must have been away. How much time had passed since the happening? Was Lyra safe?

Makoto held his anxiety down, and carefully opened the door to the room His Highness Naaotto had stabbed me in.

“Lyra-san!!” he cried.

Makoto must have seen Lyra through the gap he had opened in the doorway, and he quickly threw the door fully open and ran to Lyra’s side.

“Lyra!” he said, again.

“Lyra…” I whispered, as Yuki and I advanced into the room. Lyra was lying in the same place she had been stabbed.

She lay in the center of an enormous ocean of blood that had flowed out of her.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
