... my head goes pure white.
I wanted to return to the Durkis country now. I want to get rid of everything and go see Uncle Will.... but there's something else I'm holding on to right now.
People are driven by their position. I promised to help Rio. We cannot turn it against ourselves.
After a short rest in the village of Kushana, I returned to Rio. Right now, I have no physical or magical strength. If I don't eat something and rest for just a few hours, I'll fall.
I can't afford to get sick while holding Rio and Leon.
It's going to be a long time before you train to get stronger.
Don't ever scorn Uncle Will. I can't help worrying about him. But I don't want to be a woman who breaks her word.
"I... can't go home now"
Duke replied, staring straight into his eyes.
Maybe if I was a free-running heroine, I'd be running to Uncle Will right now. It will be an eternal farewell to your dear mentor.
Leo and Leon were on their way to Durkis with trusted Duke, Viktor, and Vian.
But this is the role I played. I've decided to extract Maddy in Laval and help Rio. I have to be responsible... "
Positions can sometimes be tormenting and make unintended decisions. Lord Duke has always lived in this world.
It was Uncle Will who created me. The kind of family person I love.
Duke stared at me, frowning bitterly. Do you think I'm gonna cry?
At least I want to be strong. I didn't want to show Master Duke how weak I was, because I didn't care if he lied.
I lift up the edge of my mouth and smile as if to make a mockery of myself.
"It's a bad girl to not go to see someone you care about, even though they might die."
I didn't want to be such a bad girl.
Her voice quivered a little, but she was desperately trying to hide it. Until just now, even though it was clear, the sky was covered with clouds and water droplets hit my face.
Without worrying about the rain, I add more words to Duke, who doesn't say anything.
"You should despise me. Be mad at me for being such a horrible woman!"
Your voice gets louder.
I wanted someone to punish me for not going to see Uncle Will. I wanted you to blame me for showing me immobility in losing a loved one.
The rain is getting stronger and my body is getting wet in no time.
Duke gently approached me and hugged me politely and forcefully. When I touched his kindness, I felt something in my heart break down.
"Why? Why are you being so kind to a woman like this?"
"You look like you're about to cry."
Lady Duke's calm voice echoed in my rough voice.
"I decided not to cry..." "I was desperately enduring tears..."
Duke ruined everything.
Your body slowly loosens up. You can let your heart out and cry in front of Master Duke.
The moment I thought so, tears broke out unceasingly.
Uncle Will, I want to see you. I'd like to meet you and express a lot of gratitude and love. I want to show you that I have grown so much thanks to you.
I would like to tell you that what you have taught me is my greatest treasure.
Regardless of my intentions, a large grain of saliva passes through my cheeks. I didn't think losing someone would be so hard and tough.
Duke warmly hugged me crying like a child. I've been counting on Lord Duke since I met him in Laval.
Jill, are you feeling this way by yourself?
And yet you're trying to make a cure to save Uncle Will while you endure this pain?
When I thought of Jill, I was filled with tears.
