NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82
In grief.
Back at the mansion, I pulled straight into the room.
Natalia came to call me lunch, but I’m not answering. I even thought I could die like this anymore.
Because.
Because.
It’s not worth living in, like, a world without Master Wilhelm.
“Ugh…”
In retrospect of Master Wilhelm, who is a great success, tears abound without a stop.
Trying to get married, that’s what you said.
When you made me your daughter-in-law, you nodded so.
Yet.
Yet.
Why were you killed in the war, Master Wilhelm?
When you would definitely come back, I would have believed so.
“Egg… ahhh…!
I have a muffler on hand that I have knitted so hard.
When winter arrived, I was going to wrap it around my neck with Master Wilhelm, a long, long muffler. I made it hard. I did it every day to please Master Wilhelm.
But.
Dear Wilhelm, without waiting for the winter visit, has passed away -.
“Carol.”
……
From across the door, there’s a mother’s voice.
But I won’t reply. Now, I don’t want to see anyone. Crying eyes are bright red, cheeks crushed in despair, and hair blurred. I don’t want to look like this, I don’t want to go outside or anything. I don’t even want to see my mother.
Anyway, it’s decided who to say.
Give up, I said…
“Hmm… then you can go through the door. Keep listening, Carol.”
……
“The Knights of the Six Flowers, Captain Anastasia is here. He said he wanted to see you.”
……
Knights.
Just listen to the words, and you’ll see your body tremble and shake.
I’m sure Captain Anastasia came worried about me, too.
“… Um”
“Perhaps you’re asleep. I’m sorry you took the time to do this.”
“No, that’s… because I’m just here because I’m worried”
“That’s what you’re worried about…… no, let’s not. At least, in the reception room. We’ll make you some tea.”
“Now sweeten to your words… before you do”
Kohon, and Captain Anastasia, I heard you cough.
Apparently, you want to say something to me. Don’t give me any more despair.
I know.
Master Wilhelm was killed in battle.
I’ll never come back.
Because I know – don’t push any further.
“Miss Carroll… Uncle, it’s about the Knights of Wilhelm Eiblinger.”
……
“Deputy Vector…… no, now you’re the captain of the regiment. I heard more from him. My uncle said he assaulted the enemy’s main force with the Imperial army and took over the enemy commander. In doing so, I heard that they defended the Empress of the Empire they were with, and they were finished.”
……
I don’t know what that means.
Why is the Empress of the Empire in such a place? How many militants are you?
And what are you going to do, say that to me?
How much such information has come to our knowledge that Master Wilhelm will not return.
No more…
“But my uncle’s neck has not been sent yet. The body hasn’t even come yet. It is now more a matter of missing persons than of war deaths. So it wasn’t decided for sure that he was dead. I want you to understand that.”
……
“What do you say from me… my uncle loved Miss Carol. And my uncle is also the strongest man in Freakista. It’s not that easy to die. No… I don’t believe in my uncle’s death. I believe that one day, I will return.”
……
If you believe the words of Captain Anastasia, Master Wilhelm may be alive.
Even me, I believe.
Master Wilhelm said he would definitely return.
“So… I don’t really want you to get stuck. When my uncle returns, please pick him up at Miss Carroll’s as usual. Of course, I know the circumstances, too. I can’t, and I don’t need to continue lecturing in my Knights. I want you to rest for a while, calm your mind, and then return again. That’s it.”
……
But I know.
What I feel is despair.
Such despair, beyond.
It’s – to be crushed, with a hint of hope.
If you believe that you are alive and live with it for food.
I’m sure I might self-harm Master Wilhelm’s body in front of you.
Oh…
I don’t like everything anymore.
……
Lift your face as you sit with your knees in your arms.
That’s how we know that Master Wilhelm is not coming back.
Then the rest of my life is.
I was supposed to walk with Master Wilhelm, from now on.
“… ugh”
Cry, cry, spend your whole life in mourning.
Live a life without a partner to walk with.
“Dear Ville, Helm…!
I can’t stop crying, I look up to heaven.
I’m sure there’s a paradise in the sky – far beyond the clouds, where the souls of the deceased visit.
There you will be, Master Wilhelm.
“Why, why… didn’t you come back? Huh!
I was supposed to be Mr. Wilhelm’s little wife.
When you came back, we were supposed to get married.
Dear Wilhelm.
Liar…
