The cold wind gradually rose, dissipating the almost condensed smell of blood and corpses in the air, blowing through the grass on the hillside and between the embankments. The orange sunset opened a flake of sunset in the sky, scattering the soft light on everyone's body, dragging out a long shadow.

The blonde girl standing outside the camp almost immediately saw the figure on a horse, slowly coming from a distance, and finally showed a relieved smile on her originally nervous face, and there were even a few tears in the corners of her blue eyes.

What the hell is wrong with herself? Obviously, not long ago, he was comforting others, constantly telling himself not to worry about this guy, he would never have an accident - but when that figure came over, his body was still so unlucky, would he actually worry about this nasty ghost?

"Sorry, I came back a little late—didn't worry you?"

Although there was apology in her voice, Allen's eyes widened - such a weak appearance, as if she had been hit hard, and Edward, who was in a state of mental malaise, was the first time she had seen it, and she couldn't believe that what she saw was real.

"Just, I won't worry about you!"

What exactly did he go through...... The not-so-good premonition came to the girl's heart almost immediately, but she didn't dare to show it openly, just locked her eyebrows, and wanted to step forward but also planned to pretend that nothing had happened: "Edward, you, you're okay, right?"

"Nothing, just to say goodbye to a man who had traveled far away, and to give him something unimportant - whether he could do it anyway. I don't even care anymore. The black-haired knight shrugged his shoulders. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Maybe a year ago, I would have regarded those things as very important." But now...... It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter to me. ”

Although Edward said it in a very nonchalant tone, the expression on Alan's face did not fade in the slightest - she knew too well that the more this reckless guy looked, the more he paid attention to it. The girl, who was still a little shy just now, stepped forward and grabbed his wrist without caring about anything: "Come back with me - let the doctors in the barracks show you if there is anything hurt?"

"Huh?" Edward was stunned for a moment, looking at his little wife's nervous appearance. I couldn't help but laugh out loud - even if it was only one sound, but it immediately made Alan show an annoyed and angry expression, puffing out his face angrily, and staring at him with blue eyes.

"What are you laughing at?!"

"No, just suddenly remembered a lot of things, a lot of ...... Something that used to make me regret. Edward spoke, ignoring the girl's whirring expression, and took her in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Allen, who exclaimed in surprise, didn't have any intention of resisting, and gently wrapped his arms around this nasty one. Those who are full of lies know how to bully themselves...... A guy who has entrusted himself all his life.

She could feel it. Edward was now more vulnerable than ever - this was probably the only time in his life that he had ever shown himself this side, and the more he thought about it, the harder it was for Alan not to be sad and to keep his desire to cry.

Why, he can't let himself cry, why can't he ask for help from others, why...... Do you want to be so strong, gambling your life again and again?

"Don't worry, it's just that I'm feeling a little bit because of someone's death. Edward slowly closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Feeling it?"

"yes, I'm so lucky – when I really think about it, I feel like I'm so lucky. Edward's voice was a little like a laugh: "Even the Radiant Cross is bless me." ”

When I first opened my eyes, I met a friend who was willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the fact that he knew that I had done something heinous, and who could so devoutly atone for my sins, and in order to protect himself, to confront a bishop of the Glorious Cross whom he could only look up to, and even worship.

When you first embark on a journey, you will meet a woman who will always trust you, who will always put the safety of this bastard named Edward Wetwood more than her own life, and even go so far as to confront her mother, father, and even the Marquis of Holard Minest, who stands there like a knight, guarding what she wants to protect.

No, she's a knight, an impeccable knight who comes out of legends and stories.

Is there anyone in this world who is luckier than himself? Edward didn't know, but he knew the other thing - he wouldn't have changed in the slightest without them. What Asriel looks like, he will make his own ugly face.

It was not themselves who saved them, but they saved themselves.

Such a humble, lonely, confused self.

Is...... So lucky.

The blonde girl's arm trembled slightly, and she hugged his shoulder harder - although she couldn't see his appearance, and she didn't know what he was thinking now, Alan could still clearly feel that Edward was definitely different from him as usual, completely different.

The girl's heart was keen—when she saw Asriel's black hair and black eyes, she had a vague feeling that there must be some special connection between the two men, and that Edward, who had killed him with his own hands, must have received some blow from the other.

"Let's go back...... When the matter is over, we will go back to Fort Hague, or to Fort Clarion, for I have heard that your island is very beautiful now. Alan slowly changed the subject, with a forced smile on his face: "Father will be very happy, after all, sooner or later...... You will inherit Fort Hague and become the master there. ”

"What if we won't go?" asked the black-haired knight softly.

"Then I will be with you, wherever you are. The girl's voice was as firm as ever: "We have agreed, no matter what we face, we will be together, forever - you can leave me alone, but you and I will still follow you!"

"Is that so...... the corners of Edward's mouth slowly raised, "Thank you...... Allan. ”

It's not a little wife, it's not Miss Allen, it's not a "little master", it's Allen.

For the first time, Edward completely put the girl in his arms on an equal footing with himself - or accepted the other person completely, rather than just as an object to be protected by himself, or just a woman with considerable use.

The blonde girl didn't hear anything special from Edward's tone, but the expression on her face had completely recovered when she saw him leading his horse in the direction of the Legion's tent again.

"This war is not completely over - we cannot go back, at least not yet. There are still so many things that have not been completely resolved. Too much...... It's a nasty thing. ”

"Yes...... Hasn't Asriel been killed by you, and the Blue Wolf Clan has been destroyed - there is no way that the entire Vast Lands will have the strength to resist that Highness Anson, didn't you say it yourself?"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean it's all over - on the contrary, it's probably not a good thing that we're bringing the war down so quickly, especially when some see it as going on for a long time. The dark pupils kept flickering: "This will make some hidden dangers that already exist quickly erupt, completely disrupting the balance in front of us, and even ...... It's a nightmare!"

"Hidden dangers, balances, nightmares......" The confused girl shook her head: "What are you talking about, why can't I understand any of them - are you treating me like a fool?!"

"In fact, if you can...... I wish I was a fool, so I didn't have to worry about anything. Edward smiled helplessly: "But now it has reached the point where you can no longer pretend to be stupid." (To be continued.) )
