Chris's Faith of Fire

Page 86

The girl came over and patted the dust on my skirt.

Although I really want to say that it is already a mess compared to being dirty.

However, the girl had just exploded with astonishing murderous intent in the deadly fight, but now she was talking to him as naturally as a friend...

Although I don't want to fight.

Having cooled down, I felt like what happened just now was fake, and I couldn't feel the boiling blood at all.

"Yvette is already dying. If you want to see her, go back to the monastery now."

"Almost dead? Did Lian do it?"

The girl just shook her head at this.

I don't know what happened, but I remembered that the two-headed vicious dog left the mansion, and now there is no trace of it around here.

It can be imagined that all this was Yvette's instigation.

But did Lian kill her because of this?

"In any case, what Miss Yvette did has exceeded the bottom line. Even if she was killed, she should have realized it long ago."

"consciousness?"

Veda turned her head and smiled faintly.

"Chris, what kind of person do you think Yvette is? Do you think she is guilty..."

Of course there are.

"For killing so many innocent people and being involved in the summoning of demons, even the cardinal... can't be said to be innocent no matter what."

"That's right. When Veda was a little girl, she discovered the traces of Undine. Driven by curiosity, Veda came into contact with her. You probably saw what happened next in that diary. Well, why do you think Veda stayed here? Veda hates everyone here, hates the ignorant and greedy townspeople, hates her powerless father, hates the 'leeches' in the orphanage, and also hates My sister who has gone astray."

"..."

Her lovely face turned ferocious, and the malice she exuded made the frosty night even colder.

"But, is sin really something we can determine? Can Chris be sure that what she saw is the truth? In the eyes of humans, what the devil did is massacre, invasion and massacre, but Isn’t that what humans themselves do?”

This kind of statement makes me want to refute, but for some reason I can't answer a word...

"Your Highness Chris, your grandfather was originally a great nobleman. He joined forces with other nobles in the country to seize power, and then established the new Garnet. The throne of Rodculosaint was originally But it is not the turn of the Masefield family to sit down and call it a crusade against the extravagant tyrant, but what did the man who was named a tyrant do wrong in his life? There are more mistakes than him in history. There are more stupid kings everywhere. In some villages, there are still nursery rhymes that he came to the countryside to write for the children. However, he was pushed to the gallows because everyone thought he was a sin because of the propaganda of the nobles. Yes, is this justice? People in the places where your grandfather went through the war were robbed, massacred, and women were raped. How is this different from what the demons did!"

The more the girl spoke, the more excited she became. The fact that the innocent and cute Veda lying on the sofa would say such a thing was completely beyond my expectation.

"That's what war is like. Everyone thinks what they are doing is just, and the other party is guilty."

I don't dare to look at her anymore. I don't know my family history, but I always feel guilty when someone points it out to me.

"So, is it wrong for Yvette to seek evolution for her own people?"

The girl asked me back. Her extreme remarks didn't sound very confident. Did she herself feel that she shouldn't say such things?

"She's wrong...absolutely wrong. No matter what, it's wrong! It's useless for you to tell me these things! I don't want to hear any more sophistry that confuses right and wrong."

Staring at my face, he shook his head.

"Huhu~~ You can't understand this now. Chris, you and Veda are completely opposite existences. But I don't know why, but I just like this. Veda must become stronger. Strength is freedom! Let others recognize you unconditionally! One day, Veda will be able to freeze half of the world! And Chris, Veda hopes that you will become a girl who can burn the other half of the world... One day, we will meet again."

The girl took a step back, jumped up to the high eaves, and showed me a confident smile.

Then he turned back once more and disappeared into the forest.

As I walked back, my mind was filled with Veda's words.

He escaped a disaster, but was almost killed again.

Is strength really that important?

.........

……

When I returned to the monastery, I saw Fami and Lian's two blades falling on the ground.

And the body of the two-headed dog.

Fami said nothing when she saw me and walked straight in front of me.

Was hugged.

"Ugh……"

Tightly, tightly.

His fingers clasped my waist, and they were pressed somewhat forcefully against the boy's body that smelled of sweat and blood.

It was so compressed that it felt like my lungs were about to pop out, which was a somewhat uncomfortable hug.

Trying to break free, he must have frowned fiercely at this moment.

But he still put down his tightly held palm and simply let him hold her.

Fami's heartbeat and the slight trembling of my shoulders were transmitted to me.

Looking at the mess on the ground, he seemed to understand everything.

The sword that looked like a katana on the boy's waist told me what was going on.

"Chris... Chris! It's great that you are okay..."

"Hmm, don't cry, Fami."

It was the second time I saw this young man's crying face. The last time I was still the aloof and willful princess.

But now it’s really great.

Even if he is no longer the same person...

"It's so nice to see you again, Chrissy! That time in Agote, I thought I would never see you again."

"Ugh?"

Could it be that……

"I am the real Fami."

"Have you got your memory back?"

The boy nodded slightly, his head hanging on my shoulder, and I could feel his tears flowing down my collarbone.

"Well, welcome back...my little wolf."

Here he hugged him back forcefully.

In the dark night, we warm each other.

I don’t want to think about anything anymore.

◆ ◇

"lets go."

"Well, I see."

The next morning, with the Dawn Lotus resurrected in the cemetery behind the monastery.

He expressed great surprise when he learned that Fami had beheaded Cerberus.

If it was a monster that Lian couldn't deal with, no one would have any hope for Fami.

Who knew it would actually work.

However, there is a sense of distance between Fami and Lian. Is it because Fami has recovered his memory?

In this case, it is reasonable to have a sense of distance.

We left the monastery, after burying Yvette, after telling Lian and Fami, and Haggar everything.

The orphans watched us drift away.

There was no smile or sadness in his eyes, he just looked at our backs getting further and further away.

Did they know until the end that the woman on the three-headed dog was Yvette?

Maybe you have already discovered it...

It is now unknown.

"By the way, how did the Cardinal die?"

Walking on the muddy road, I asked Lian and Fami beside me.

"Didn't Yvette do it?"

I shake my head slightly.

"No, not her."

"Why are you so sure?"

Haggar interjected, adjusting his backpack.

"Because I also encountered my own battle, in the mansion to the west..."

"What? You said you went there!"

Lian's face turned ugly. He must have said before that he found something bad in that forest.

"Well, I found the cardinal's body on the second floor, and then she and two mercenaries took her to the mansion..."

"It doesn't matter! You didn't do anything weird!"

Fami came over in panic.

"Don't worry, because there is another girl protecting me."

"Another girl?"

"Well, you didn't see her in the end. She is a very strong person. She is also Yvette's sister."

Lian was thoughtful after hearing these words.

"I did feel a powerful force in that forest at that time. The quality of that Mana was completely superior to that of a three-headed dog..."

"That's it."

I read about Riprestel's notes and wondered whether I should tell them...I was also confused.

The facts won't change if you say it.

At this time, Hager scratched his chin, as if he wanted to say something.

"Speaking of which, if the Cardinal was not killed by Miss Yvette, then it was probably those brats who did it..."

"Eh?"

"Did they ask you for help before, princess? Then those brats came to me again. Of course I ignored them, so they probably did it on their own. I wasn't sure at first, but the one last night When the kid named Cole let Fami escape, the steps of those little guys were very consistent. They swarmed up and knocked me down. They also prepared ropes and knives... It's really scary to think about it."

"...Looking back now, did those kids want me to die?"

Fami put her fingers on her chin as she walked, thinking about what happened last night.

Maybe it's really what he said.

Because we don't want to help them, so for revenge?

I always feel that it is not such a simple thing.

Half of Yvette's body fell to the ground and what did she say at the end of her life?

"...blame...don't...hurt..."

Was she referring to those children?

Don't blame those leeches, don't hurt my fellow humans.

It's just a guess, but I seem to be able to feel her unfinished words.

We were silent for a long time on the way.

Everyone may have thought of something.
