A Childhood Friend of a Blind Saint

The saint is a symbol of purity.

Her eyes were scheduled to be removed before she became an adult in order to maintain the purity with which she viewed the world.

I know that, and she herself knows it.

That’s why she was scared and asked me to run away.

‘But it’s not just the two of us… .’

The destruction of the continent was not the only reason for not granting her request.

Another reason… It was that she and I both had families. Perhaps a more reasonable reason than the excuse that the continent will be destroyed.

And if there’s something else -.

‘Because I am helpless.’

Even if he ran away with her, it was obvious that he would be caught before long. So the option of running away was impossible in the first place.

I looked at her back as she walked away and made a firm resolution.

“… Even if you end up hating me, I will protect you in my own way.”

For her who will live without the light in her eyes.

I decided to become strong in my own way. So I will definitely protect her.
