"Daddy!!" Milina woke up suddenly, but when she tried to force herself to sit up, she was involved in a wound, and she was panting in pain, unable to utter a word.

“... Awake... You'd better not move... Otherwise... I managed to heal a wound that was almost the same... It's getting worse... It's not good..."

At this moment, a cold, eerie, ethereal, emotionless voice reached Milena's ears. She remembered the voice belonging to the lich she had met in the morning. Could it be that ...

"Rita, where is she??" Milina looked carefully at where she was, and found herself in a bed in a room in a small cabin. And Rita, who was with her, was not in this room. Suddenly, there was a trace of fear in Milena's heart.

“... The little girl you were talking about... Sleep next door right now... She's not doing well either... The blood loss was somewhat severe... I want to recuperate...", the lich stood in the doorway, looking at Milina without moving, and said.

After getting news of Rita, Milina was both relieved and worried. Although Rita is not too much of a problem, excessive blood loss is also a very fatal thing. If you can't let her rest well, it is likely that her body will not be able to bear it.

After a moment's thought, he glanced at the lich stolenly, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. She also suffered serious blood loss, and now she is very weak all over her body, and she has no strength at all, she just wants to sleep well.

Seeing this, the soul fire under the lich's hood flickered slightly, and left the room, allowing Milina to rest quietly. Despite being Milina's unfilial daughter and liar who is now positioned in his heart, she is also his daughter. So he didn't want to disturb her rest.

"Is she asleep??" As soon as Deklaas came out of the room where Milina was, Lily hurriedly walked over and asked Deklaas. Obviously, Milina's "Dad" just now, she also heard it.

“... Oh, yes... She... Very badly injured... Need a good rest for a few days... Otherwise... There's a good chance it won't hold out... Then I will only be able to transform her into an undead," Deklaas replied with mixed feelings.

"Her heart, like Rita, is full of guilt for you, can you..."

“... When... It's like this..."Deklaas casually leaned against the wall and sat on the wooden floor. Glancing at Lily, she said.

"I'm her mother, and though I used to be very incompetent, but now—" Lily knew what Deklaas meant. Deklaas was saying that she had never cared about and cared for Milina before, why was she suddenly so concerned now.

“... Is it... But... I'm not going to identify myself... Other than that... I hope you don't let them know who you are... I just want to live in peace... I don't want to live on the battlefield..."Deklaas made it clear that it was enough for him to have Messena and Lily. He didn't want Rita and Milina to intervene in his life.

"I see..."Lily knew that Deklaas liked the two children, and she knew from the beginning that Decraas liked Milena. Because of her departure, Pamea's betrayal, and Winnie's inaction, he put everything on Rita's and Milena. He looked forward to the rest of his life, a simple life. Pity...

Early the next morning, after preparing enough food for three people to eat for a day, Deklaas left Lily behind and asked her to take care of the two wounded, Milina and Rita, and go to the snowy mountains alone to find the material to make the life box.

At this time, the blizzard had already stopped, and the wind on the snowy mountains was not as strong as yesterday. Guided by the high sun, Deklaas walked carelessly through the snow. In cave after cave, looking for that thing.

On Lily's side, it's a little boring. Because Milina and Rita lost too much blood, the two of them are still resting. So Lily had nothing to do but wait for the medicine to be given to the two of them.

However, there is nothing unaccustomed to such a day for Lily. In the past, in the imperial capital, when Deklaas had not yet returned from the underworld, she lived in this kind of boredom.

"Your body is still very weak, and you need quiet news, come, eat this, and continue to lie on the bed obediently to rest. At noon, Lily took a bowl of fish soup batter and fed it to Rita spoonful by spoonful.

I don't know if Rita is wary of Lily, she looks at Lily a little strangely when she is eating. However, Lily doesn't feel anything about this, Rita is a soldier, and it's normal to be wary of a stranger. Of course, it's just that Rita thinks Lily is a stranger.

"Did she eat my sister??" Perhaps it was too weak, Rita's voice trembled a little. It was clear that she was indeed weak.

"Nope. She hadn't woken up until now, except for one time yesterday. Rest assured, though, she'll be fine. Lily smiled slightly. From Rita's words, she could know Milena's place in Rita's heart.

But think about it, how come the two of them have not been accompanied by anyone else for many years, just the two of them. Although the two of them are to blame, they are already pitiful.

I remember when the two of them first met, it was full of gunpowder. Almost anything, two people have to compare with each other. Even a set of cutlery that Deklaas used to like very much, was broken.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Milina woke up. Under Lily's fish soup batter, her originally pale face also improved slightly.

Like Rita, Milina asked Lily if her sister had eaten. Lily just smiled and nodded slightly. Then he left the room and let her rest well.

Sitting in the cabin, Lily sat by the fireplace, quietly waiting for dark, for her former husband, her current lover, to return. Lily now likes this kind of day, although there are still many, many unpleasant things between her and Deklaas, but it makes her gradually want to be with Decraas, forever and forever. I think it was a promise made at that time, a promise that was not fulfilled.

“... I am back... Nothing happened..."In the evening, Deklaas returned to the cabin. As soon as he returned, he asked Lily if anything had happened when he left.
