The wind mixed with the icy rain hit the face all the time.

It was just before dawn, and a glimmer of light had just appeared in the sky, but it was obscured by dark clouds, and only ice and rain raged on the dim earth.

"Here we are, Iron Wing ......"

She rolled over and dismounted, and in front of her stood a dimly lit castle, and by the faint light she could vaguely make out the parts that had once belonged to the arms and body of the Colossus, as if it were not a city, but a sleeping giant.

"Nasty rain. ”

The icy rain poured into the cracks of the armor, wetting the intimate clothing inside and taking away the body temperature.

"Lord Arman......"

She looked up at the large, dilapidated gate, stepped up and pushed it open. With the friction between the gate and the ground, a large amount of dust fell and sprinkled on her head.

She ignored the ash on her head, but looked at the inside of the Iron Wing Castle and was stunned for a long time.

For her, it was once home, with its grand atrium, elegant carpets, gold-and-silver-plated staircases, and most importantly, the Iron Wing Knights, with whom she used to laugh and cry.

Now, however, it's a world of broken tiles, cracked walls, painted handrails, and former friends – long since the undead.

The cold wind blew in her ears, like the murmur of an evil spirit, hating her and cursing the betrayer in front of her.

"Even so...... I ...... too."

She lifted her feet and stepped into the depressed and eerie castle.

It was no longer the place she was familiar with, and the roads inside were winding and sloping in places. Some places have collapsed, and familiar roads have turned into dead ends. Familiar scenery appears in unfamiliar places. It's like a portrayal of the confusion in my heart.

[Do you regret it?

She asked herself more than once - she chose a friend and gave up a benefactor who saved her life. Is that really good?

However, there is no answer, and there will never be. It's like hanging the same weight on both ends of the scale, and the only thing that can be done is to add the weight called Dayi.

[That's right, I'm a knight, even if it's my own savior, betraying the monarch is not allowed. 】

Once again, she meditated in her heart, dispelling confusion and uneasiness.

Gradually, she heard a familiar voice, the voice of someone who was extremely important to her.

"Ahh Thank you, Marquis de Duack, those Randall spirits you brought with you are simply my favorites. ”

"Oh, General Maud, welcome to Ironwing, and lo and behold! ”

"Hello Your Majesty Germain...... It doesn't matter, since the Iron Wing Knights can beat them back again and again in Moroch Harbor, there will be no problem this time. ”

She walked over and saw her standing in a large room. Arman Britt chatted passionately at the empty walls, tables, and ceilings with people who didn't exist.

Everything in front of me was full of frenzy, as if it was a festival celebration in a madhouse.

The duke's face was covered with cracks. Blood gushed out along the rift. He was clad in armor, and a mist of chaos swirled around him. At his feet, Valoret was in full bloom. Decorate the whole house with ominous flowers.

"Oh, Bishop Albin, you have come just in time, the culprit of the poisoning has been found. I decided to hang him in the square of Ironwing. ”

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h

The strange scene in front of her made her let out a weak sigh. The Duke had gone mad, he seemed to be living in a dream—it was a Britt family that had not been hit in any way. A dream of prosperity.

For a moment, she even wanted to turn and run away, leaving the poor man to stay in the empty castle and continue his sweet dream.

However, it was too late, and the Duke turned his head to see her presence.

"You ......"

In an instant, the whites of his eyes, which were originally bloodshot, were dyed with chaotic colors, and endless anger erupted from his pupils.

"It's ...... you"

On his forehead, green veins appeared, and his words carried resentment like a curse.

"You dare to appear in front of me!! betrayer——!!!"

Aking from the dream, the man turned into a demon shrouded in hatred, and he pulled out the Katravad from his waist. Created by the goddess of creation and blessed by the goddesses, the sword radiates a pitch-black color.

Dawn, that is the first ray of light in the night. This brave sword, which was once blessed by the goddess of light and the goddess of darkness, the sisters Aenis and Inis, has both good and evil attributes because of Inis's betrayal, and now, as a magic sword, it is displayed in front of Leona's eyes - the blade is shrouded in chaotic energy, and it is rushing towards the girl.

"Whew!"

She rolled sideways, dodging the fatal blow.

"Lord Arman, please come to your senses quickly!"

couldn't fight back, not only because of the other party's strong strength, but the person in front of her was a life-saving benefactor, even if she stood on the opposite side of him, she couldn't kill him.

"The Iron Wing Knight will not perish! Feel my wrath!"

However, the other party did not show the slightest softness, he rushed forward and dealt a heavy blow!

Rumble!

The walls of the castle were torn apart by the black blade, and she dodged at the last moment.

"Wake up, sir, you shouldn't deceive yourself with illusion!"

"Die, betrayer——!!!"

【！？】

Her heart hurts, and when she is called a traitor, her heart hurts as if it was broken, and she even thought that maybe it would be better to die under his sword like this.

But no, at least not until the person in front of you is awakened.

"My lord——!!! please, wake up——!!!"

She cried out in tears and in a hoarse voice.

"Unforgivable! Only you can't forgive——!!!"

In exchange, all he got was a cold blade.

"Ah——!!!h

A fierce blow sliced her longsword in two, and sliced through her armor and chest with all the momentum.

Bang!

There was a violent thrust from behind, and she slammed into the wall with the force of the blow.

"Ah......h

She let out a weak sigh, and in her hazy vision, she saw the figure of the man slowly walking towards her.

"Betrayer...... Betrayer ——!!!"

He reached out and grabbed her by the throat.

[Ah, do you hate me so much?...... my lord]

She was lifted up, her neck as if pinched by iron tongs, unable to make a sound or breathe air.

[Even so...... If...... If my death can bring you to your senses...... So...... Let's do it......]

Even though she was about to die in agony, she was still in tears and smiling miserably.

Then, everything in sight began to move rapidly—the sky was seen, and cold raindrops were hitting his cheeks.

[Really...... I see......]

It took her some time to comprehend the fact that she had been thrown out of the window. Then, the consciousness and body fell rapidly, and the blood on his chest drew a trajectory in the air that led to death.

If she could, she would have wanted to save both sides - she had thought so before.

Join the princess and Leah's side, then crush the rebels and reclaim their homeland Randall.

As for that man, her savior, even if her wings have been polluted by the mire, even if there is no hope for the future, she has believed that this person has the mind to face everything and go on calmly - then Iron Wing will not perish, as long as the heart is still there, the lost feather will always grow again one day, and at that time, the steel wings will definitely spread their wings and fly high.

Today, however......

[Sorry...... Lord Arman......]

The rain of ice and rain on your cheeks washed away the warm tears, leaving only endless regrets – sorry for not being able to save you in the end.

[Sorry...... Everybody......]

The cold wind whistling in my ears, like buried under the rain, the resentment of my former comrades-in-arms - sorry, when I fall into the tower of sinners, no matter how much resentment there is, I will accept it.

[Sorry...... Leah...... I'm causing you trouble again......]

If you think about it, this must be a trap, and I just hope that Leah and the others don't fall for the enemy's tricks.

"Leona ——!!!"

However, there was a cry of despair in the cold wind, it was his own familiar voice, the voice of a petite, eccentric little Lori.

[Really...... You're still here, to save me......]

It should have been thought of a long time ago, thinking that they would not leave themselves.

However, it was too late.

[Result...... Haven't I been able to save anyone?]

The strong wind blew away the tied ponytail, and let the fiery red hair dance in the air, and she exerted her last strength and shouted loudly:

"Hurry up and escape——!!! Li-Ya ——!!!"

Then, a huge impact came, and the body collided violently with the earth, throwing consciousness into the abyss of death. (To be continued......)
