Kuro no Senki

Baron Crawford in the early evening of February 454 of the Imperial calendar.

Chrono woke up to the sound of the wind.

Wake up, cover your mouth with your hands, and cough lightly.

After a while, I stopped coughing.

When I looked at the palm, there was a small amount of blood on the palm.

I'm not surprised. Over and over again, countless times you get used to it.

Twenty years ago, I think it was a battle with Leonhardt.

At first, I coughed lightly.

Symptoms gradually became more severe and, with it, physical fitness decreased.

It must have been a bad thing not to concentrate on healing.

But Jesus and Chrono looked up at the ceiling.

A lot has happened since then.

The aristocrats, financed by the Free City Nation, revolted everywhere.

My men worked hard, but Chrono had a lot to do.

Of course, I didn't fight all the time.

I built a large sailboat and set out on the open ocean.

My men actually set out, but I discovered the New World and finally got the potatoes.

Chrono was happy to take a small jump, but his men had only one reaction.

I was also complained about when I encouraged cultivation.

Sometimes I felt that my own ratings and those of others did not match, but I did my best anyway.

I think I was able to cede the throne to my children without any problems, and I did what I could.

At that time, there was a tone of voice.

It was a knock on the door.

Here you go.

I was going to raise my voice, but it became a weak thing with a mixed wheeze.

The door opens quietly. The door was opened by Layla in her maid's clothes.

Probably because the Elves are drawing blood.

She is no different from when she met.

I wonder if it has become a little sexy.

"Excuse me."

Layla quietly walked up to the bed and touched Chrono's wrist.

When I turned my palm upward, my eyebrows clasped as if I was in trouble.

Remove the handkerchief and gently wipe the blood.

Chrono-sama, how are you doing?

You're doing great.

I see.

Layla smiled with a little relief.

It's not a lie. I feel better than usual.

"Can you open the window for me? I want to get some air."

Got it.

Layla nodded tinyly and turned to the window.

Leila?

What is it?

Layla looked back as she spoke.

Will you smile for me?

Is that so?

Having said that, Layla smiled. It was a beautiful smile that made me feel unexpectedly happy.

"Good," I stroked my chest.

Happy now?

"Yes, I'm very happy."

"Thank you."

Yes, and Layla nodded quietly and walked out with her back to Chrono.

Stop in front of the window and open it.

The wind blew in.

It's a cold, frozen wind.

However, it was pleasant and Chrono narrowed her eyes.

Is that all right?

A nostalgic voice struck his ears.

Open your eyes lightly.

That's what I'm laughing at.

At the end, I was able to see Leila's best smile.

"... yeah, that's enough. I'm satisfied."

Close your eyes quietly.

And-.

Chrono Crawford-Kepheus, died in early February 454.
