“… I’m not leaving. W-where can I even go?”
I turned my head to avoid him, but I couldn’t ignore his gaze. So, I met his cool yet persistent gaze.
“Is that so? Then make a vow with me.”
“…”
“Vow that you will not leave me.”*
*T/N: His exact words were ‘Vow that you will not go anywhere’ but that ain’t romantic so I’m changing it to this HAHA.
I’m literally speechless. A vow? For a moment, various thoughts passed in my head, but he couldn’t be referring to any of those. What right did he have to ask for a vow?
Now he may be holding me tightly while looking at me sweetly, but once he meets the female lead he will become the male lead that falls in love with her.2
As I continued being held by him, I strode forward and hugged his waist. I could feel him flinch before stiffening. The flesh I felt against my cheeks was hot.
T/N: kyaa~~~~1
“I only hope that… Knox is happy.”
I know my voice will be muffled like this, but I continued to bury my face into his chest.4
“You said that you were curious about my real feelings, but all I wish for you is happiness… And I only hope that you can become extremely happy.”
I hesitated and didn’t manage to say what I wanted to in the end. When I think about the benefits, he’ll get from ending up with the female lead I couldn’t intervene. I was satisfied just being the existence that can cause light jealousy between the two.
“I-I am really wishing that you can become happy.”
Since I knew how pitiful the male lead’s life has been, I truly wanted him to be happy. He deserved to be free from this curse that has placed him in shackles for a long time. A very long time.
“Promise me you won’t leave.”
I kept my mouth shut, enduring my desire to look at him.
“I’ll promise if you manage to return safely.”
“Really?”
“Yes. So, don’t get hurt and come back safely.”
Knox squeezed my arm.
“You promised.”
He still held my waist with his other arm to prevent me from getting hurt.
“Then no matter what you say from now on, I won’t let you go.”3
He whispered that he’ll be back by dawn.
Thinking that this might be the last time I’d ever get to see him, I nervously swallowed and nodded as I continued hugging him.
“I’ll be back.”
Only when his arm fell off my waist did I look up. He lowered his head in a flash. In just a moment, he came closer to my lips. I flinched at the distance he created where I could feel his very breath. He parted his lips.
Gray limped over. Although he wasn’t in good shape, my eyes widened when I recognised the person he was supporting.
“Knox?”
“Ah. The Commander… is still alive.”
He smiled bitterly and muttered. Still.
“… Still?”
What did he mean?
I let go of my sister’s hand and opened my mouth. In the meantime, Gray limped over and laid Knox down next to my sister.
“He alone destroyed 70% of the Imperial Knights in the forest. He wouldn’t listen to me.”
I swallowed my breath as soon as I saw Knox. He looked to be in an even worse condition that the knight I had just treated.
“…”
“I’ve never seen the Commander go so crazy.”
Gray, who glanced at my sister, gave a bitter smile.
“It was the Commander who rescued your sister from numerous Imperial Knights.”1
“Knox… saved my sister?”
“… Yes. He said that she had to be saved no matter what.”
Gray then went on to say that Diana was a very good fighter and that he was amazed. But he didn’t really sound amazed.
“The Commander is really…”
His eyes that were losing focus was indicating that he was at his wit’s ends. I let go of my sister’s hands and held on to Gray.
“Is Knox in really bad shape?”
Gray who looked miserable bit his lips.
“After having me and the other knights rescue the collapsed Diana, he faced countless other Imperial Knights alone.”
He eventually covered his face.
“A little earlier, when he tried to save your sister… the Commander must have been risking his life for her.”
Tears that he had been holding back were now falling. His tears fell in streams and dropped onto Knox’s face.
“Don’t cry”, I said to Gray who looked like he was at a loss for what to do.
“I-I’m not an expert but I learnt herbal medicine. It’ll be… dangerous to leave Knox like this, right?”
“… Yes. But it might be possible to help him if we bring him back to the Dukedom to see a Sorceress*. If he could use healing magic, if only we had magic…”
T/N: Imma change magicians to sorcerer/sorceress now. Magicians sound a little tacky and mage do not have gender specific versions.
He clenched the hand that I had been grabbing.
“Is there any way back?”
As he stared at his clenched fists, he nodded slowly.
“… Every Lux Knight is given two teleportation beads. They can only be used by Lux Knights and it can be used to teleport to either the Grand Duke’s mansion or a nearby city in a case of emergency. But…”
