Only with Your Heart

The Longest Night - 1

After a dinner as usual in the dining room without Luklov and a brief greeting with the three knights that Lone had brought with him, Chizuru was back in his room again.

He brought hot water and towels to the room again to cleanse himself, so I decided to ask Alde to step back early, intending to just take a brief bath on his own tonight.

And when I was left alone early to settle down and tried to wash my face with my hand in a water bucket placed on my desk......

Suddenly, from downstairs, there was a loud noise of something going down in momentum.

Chizuru stopped his hand in surprise and looked around wondering what had happened. Besides, the noise doesn't end once, and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. It was as if someone had done it and rarely flipped the furniture or conditioning, and it was a terrible noise that was extending to acts of sabotage.

After a while, even a few screams can be heard.

(Hey, what...?

As he rushed to wipe his hands with the towel he had at hand, Chizuru left the room intact and looked to the left and right. I got eyes on the female servant who was coming and going down the hallway, so I call out and pull back.

"What happened now? Suddenly I heard an amazing noise from below..."

"Wow, I don't know either. However, thank you, Mr. Ruklov seems to have heard from the room where he is dining with his guests…"

"From Lucroff and Lone's room?

Chizuru quickly hardened himself.

Luklov and Lone.

I remember a couple of times they had a combination fight and made the whole place a mess. I did break the loan to my nose once. It's still not two years old for Chizuru. Fresh memories, but it was almost fifteen years ago here. We're both already good old adults, not bloody young people back then.

But it's Lucroff and Lone.

"Please, tell me where the room is"

And, when Chizuru inquired, the bewildered faceted servant explained quickly, "It's the third room on the ground floor, beneath the stairs, turning right".

Chizuru only thanked her and ran straight down the stairs.

The room I was told was found immediately.

Because there were so many servants with anxious faces, right and left in front of the door. As Chizuru approaches, there's also Nadal, and he immediately calls out.

"Dear Chizuru! As a matter of fact, Mr. Ruklov and the Duke of Lone are having a fight inside right now."

"Again?"

Chizuru gave it back in disdain.

Nadal didn't seem to notice that nuance and explains it with an exaggerated gesture hand gesture with a crying face.

"I even flipped over to a dining table for a big welcome, and the food splashed all over it, and it was already doomed. When I showed my face, Master Ruklov screamed like a beast and threw us out. Fortunately, neither of you had a murder weapon..."

"But if you were eating, you'd have a knife, wouldn't you?

"That's right! What shall we do?

There are tears of anxiety in the boy's eyes.

Those two should know as much about how to kill humans with their bare hands, even if they don't have murder weapons, knives, etc... now saying that doesn't console them in any way. Should we go get the powerful young knights? But dinner in the dining room is long over, and most of them are back in each room.

Chizuru had no choice but to decide his mind on the spot.

"Because I will go inside... if anything happens, call Alde right away"

"What, Chi, Master Chizuru?

Fortunately, it seemed like the room was already quiet, or scary. Chizuru drank his breath, and when he drew his lips together, he gathered his courage and laid his hands on the door. Later, Nadal drinks his solitary spit and watches.

When Gi made a noise and the door opened, there was, indeed, a room that was completely dirty, with all sides and all that could have been doomed. How dare you want to impress me so thoroughly so far.

At the wall, there's a loan holding my nose.

Near the opposite wall, Luklov stood slightly round his back, out of breath.

"Loan...... luklov......"

The two men raised their faces at the same time and looked at the entrance to Thousand Cranes' Tatsuzu room.

Lone immediately sparkled his eyes, and the opposing Ruklov immediately stiffened his body so much that he felt the urge of fright in the air.

Maybe Chizuru could have been hurt by such a Luklov reaction......

But the truth is, I felt so bad about Ruklov's deep heartache that it just filled me with sympathy and love for him.

"Look, Chizuru, this guy punched me in the nose again. Damn... can you believe it? When it comes to Chizuru, he's a madman."

Shaking his head, Lone complained.

Does that mean you two had some sort of argument over Chizuru? In fact, he was way past the "say" dispute, but, well, Chizuru had learned a long time ago that fists (kobushi) seem to count as one of the words between these two.

"It's okay, Lone?

And, although I asked, Chizuru's gaze remained straight towards Luklov and did not move.

"No, not anymore. He's going to die. Chizuru, will you see me?

The tragic tone of the loan has a sense of humor at the same time.

Chizuru smiled and answered the loan - but his gaze remained on Lucroff's face the whole time.

"No, I'm sure your wife will piss you off. Besides, there must be a much better medic in the castle than me."

"Oh, what merciless to a lonely man torn in love. I'm gonna pull back like this."

Leaving his nose pressed, Lone jumped over the wreckage of chairs, desks and things that were dishes scattered across the floor with long legs, to the door with a thousand cranes. So I stared down at Thousand Cranes, slightly and looked back at Ruklov, and frowned in a rugged manner.

"It's not just you and Chizuru. Neither Zain nor Edina will be rewarded as they are. If you don't make up your mind, I'll do what I want."

Yes, leaving something like advice to Lucroff, the loan disappeared into the hallway with a big strand. Several servants rush after them.

……

Suddenly, Chizuru anxiously beheaded the two names he suddenly missed.

Unrewarded...... oh my god, it's like saying they're not in the world anymore...... My chest squeaks with a bad feeling.

But...

"Luklov, are you okay? Are you hurt?

Still, Chizuru wanted to calm down the important man (one) in front of him first.

Thousands of cranes cautiously crossed over the cobblestone floor, which was extremely confusing, and managed to move forward to Luklov, where they stopped. Luklov stares at Chizuru with a mixed face with various emotions.

Anger, regret, sadness, and whatnot...... thirsty love, but should I call it? He stares down at Thousand Cranes with his fiercely seeking eyes, as a thirsty creature seeks water.

For one thing, as far as I could tell, there did not appear to be any major injury to Ruklov.

Because of this beautiful brunette is all over some dish and a small scratch just runs into a big hand peeking from a long-sleeved tunic.

"Go home to your room? Or should I call someone?

Ruklov shook his head sideways.

"Should I be here? Or do you want to be alone...?

Again, Ruklov shook his head sideways.

When Chizuru smiles safely and slightly, Ruklov frowns bitterly in reverse. But I wasn't like I was rejecting her.

Woohoo.

If Ruklov says he once suffered because of his feelings for Chizuru, Chizuru also thinks he can be hurt for this love.

"Let's get some rest now. Come with me..."

Chizuru whispered so when he gently touched Luklov's big fist, which was gripped hard by both sides.

Next time Ruklov, he didn't shake his neck to the side.
