Chapter 53: The Despicable Thief
"Now, it's game time!" Gerald smirked cruelly, "The bloody battle begins!"
The black blade sliced through the air, the light-absorbing blade barely noticeable. When www.biquge.info realized that the wind was blowing, Cecilia had no time to defend.
"Cecilia—"
Edie wails.
The physical energy has been reduced to freezing point, and there is not much magic energy left. The current Edie is not an elite knight, but I'm afraid that even ordinary warriors can't defeat it. But that doesn't matter, Edie has only one thought at the moment!
That's to save Cecilia!
Faith gave him new strength, and his tired torso was re-energized. Edie's speed had never been so fast, but he still didn't feel like he was enough. Before the Black Blade could slash at Cecilia, Edie pounced and took Cecilia into his arms.
The two rolled to the ground in embarrassment, Gerald did not pursue, he was entangled by Ramsey and Claire and others, and once again enjoyed a hearty fight.
Cecilia's face was pale, and she had never felt the threat of death so close since she was born. She shuddered, quickly remembered something, and pushed Edie away from the pressure on her.
"Charlotte, Charlotte, how are you?, wait, I'll save ......"
The sound stopped abruptly. Warm liquid seeps through the cracks in the armor. In the darkness, Cecilia's pupils dilated and her face panicked, and she grabbed Edie's body.
“…… Edie, are you—are you alright?"
How could it be okay!
Edie's back was slashed by the Black Blade, and the deadliest of all was the terrifying destructive energy on the Black Blade, which invaded Edie's body like a mad destroyer. Almost every moment, Edie could feel the weakening of her life.
He raised his hand towards Cecilia, but it was in the air but stopped. Because he was gloomy to find that although Cecilia was holding his body in fear, there was anxiety in her pale red pupils that could not be concealed.
She's worried about Charlotte......
Realizing this, Edie's expression darkened, and he pushed his spirits to force himself to give a neutral answer with his last potential.
"I'm fine. Cecilia, don't worry about me. Go and save Charlotte and Princess Fivien Leigh, the lord's safety is more important than me, isn't it?"
"But, but......" Cecilia shook her head at a loss for words, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
"It's nothing! I'm just a minor injury, and I'll be fine after a while. Look!" Edie slammed his chest armor to show off his health, "I'm not that easy to die, I can fight for Erosa for a hundred years......!
In the dim environment, she couldn't see Edie's wounds. Hearing Edie's heart-wrenching answer, Cecilia, who was in a dilemma, finally made up her mind. She nodded and patted Edie on the shoulder.
"Wait for me, Edie! I'll be back soon!"
With that, Cecilia wiped away her tears and stumbled towards the crack.
In the dim line of sight, Cecilia's slender figure walked farther and farther away. Edie lay on the cold mud floor, looking sideways at Cecilia's back, weakly reaching out to her.
He held it in one hand, as if the end of the hand was holding Cecilia's soft little hand. The forces of destruction continued to eat away at his body, blurring his vision and his soul feeling tired.
At the end of her life, Edie smiled bitterly, and a crystal tear ran down her cheek.
"Edie, Edie, you're such a big fool and coward...... When did you go from a selfish bastard to a model of a self-sacrificing knight......"
The phrase 'I love you' couldn't be said after all, and Edie closed her eyes lonely in the dim dungeon, on the cold mud floor.
For the first time in her life, Charlotte regretted that she had not chosen the path of a knight.
He gripped the stone at the edge of the crack with only the tip of his toe, his hands firmly gripping Vivien Leigh's gauntlets. The two of them are like vines growing on the edge of a cliff, lonely.
Vivien Leigh looked at the bottomless abyss, and in the deepest depths, a yellow-red light was restlessly surging up. The hot air rose from the depths of the cracks, and the rising heat made Charlotte sweat and her palms slippery, which made it even more difficult to hold Vivien Leigh tight.
"I said......" In order to make the atmosphere less tense, Charlotte couldn't help but talk nonsense, "Sister, shouldn't you lose weight!
"Hu, nonsense!" Even Fei Wen Li would care about the girl's weight, and she retorted angrily, "It's because of the armor, you know?
"You liar, you think I don't know that your armor is enchanted with a spell that is as light as a swallow, and the main problem lies with you!"
"Since you think I'm heavy, let go!" the princess lost her temper, and she puffed out her cheeks as she had done when she was a child, "Hmph! You were the one who asked me to leave, didn't you?
The rocks on the cliff were loosened in vain, and the bodies of the two of them, which were connected by their hands, fell slightly. The brother and sister turned pale, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.
"I said, Your Highness Princess, my aunt, don't lose your temper, it's not a joke. Charlotte's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained to Vivien Leigh, "I know, I'm hiding it from you, and you must be angry in your heart." But trust me, we're in trouble, and I'm here for your good!"
"When we get back, I swear, I'll explain everything to you, okay?"
Charlotte cautiously prayed for forgiveness, and what he feared most now was his sister's temper tantrum as she had been when she was a child.
“…… You let go!"
Vivien Leigh lowered her head, the torrent of lava in the crack shining brighter and brighter, and Charlotte couldn't make out the expression on her face.
"What are you talking about!" Charlotte wanted to cry without tears, "Grandma, I was wrong, I shouldn't have slapped you! I was dizzy at that time, I promised you, when I got out, I would let you get ten strokes! No, a hundred! Okay?"
"I'm not mad at you, do you think I'm a kid who doesn't understand anything?" Fei Wene Leigh raised her head, and a spark of determination flashed in her starry pupils, "Your hands are shaking, aren't they? The stones are about to fall off, aren't they? We're all going to die if we go on like this?"
"In that case, it's better to let go quickly, in this case, at least one person can live!"
There were ripples in Vivien Leigh's blue eyes, and her voice was hoarse, Charlotte had never seen her sister look so sad.
It made his heart cramp as if it were being clenched. He thought that if only Elle hadn't been asleep at this time, if only he had called for support at that time, and even if all the actions hadn't excluded Vivien Leigh in the first place, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!
It's all his own fault! It's his self-righteousness that kills everyone!
So it doesn't matter if it's atonement, it's good to persevere, it's stupid!
"I'm not going to let go!" Charlotte roared with all the air in her lungs, "even if we fall together!Even if we turn to ashes!I'll never let go!I won't let my sister leave me alone!Ah, that's right! Just laugh at me! I'm a hopeless sister! I won't let go even if I'm dead!"
Vivien Leigh's mouth opened slightly in shock, her cherry-colored lips dried up from the scorching heat. Sakura's lips trembled and her pupils fluttered, showing her agitated mood.
"Scumbag brother ......" The raging lava surged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the dazzling firelight, Vivien Leigh showed a bright smile, "If you can't give a girl a lifelong promise, don't be too gentle with her! Otherwise, you will become the most despicable thief......"
In Charlotte's stunned eyes, Vivien Leigh held the holy sword high with one hand, and the holy sword exuded a gentleness like water, just like the mood of a girl at this time.
Charlotte...... I'm going to make you never forget me!Forever and never put me first!Forever and always remember my smile now!" The sword slashed a brutal light that cut into Charlotte's clenched hand.
"This is your punishment, despicable thief!"
In the scorching firelight, Vivien Leigh threw her holy sword with all her might.
The one-armed sister is swallowed by the raging lava! The gorgeous girl is surging in the flames, like a butterfly fighting a fire, poignant and moving!
"No-Fervien Leigh-"
Charlotte clenched her hot one-arm, and on the edge of the crack, the young man let out a heart-rending roar!
