episode_0002

After helplessly sending off a precious relationship, Camilla’s former innocent appearance could no longer be found.

Camilla, who used to blush and feel extremely embarrassed even at small mistakes, seemed to have lost all her emotions after that day’s incident and just kept a blank expression on her face without showing any emotion.

He began to become pathologically obsessive about himself.

“Ouch!”

“Sir..! You shouldn’t do that..! Please don’t hurt yourself!!”

Camilla hurt herself by hitting herself hard on the cheek for making a small mistake.

The mistake she made was very minor.

While swinging my sword hundreds of times for training, when the number of swings had passed four hundred, I lost focus and ended up drawing an untidy curve.

Camilla then pushed herself so hard that blood flowed from her mouth.

The knight hurriedly tried to stop Camilla as she slapped his cheek, but he was unable to stop the warrior who had been granted the power of the holy sword with the body of a mere knight.

Camilla, who had been whipping her own cheeks for a long time, stopped whipping them only after her cheeks had turned red and swollen.

“Again.”

Having thus ended her self-punishment, Camilla grabbed the holy sword, leaving behind the pain that was creeping up on her, and soon began swinging the sword again.

After the events of that day, Camilla changed so much that she became a different person.

Those who knew her even a little could not hide their bewilderment at her sudden change in appearance, and there were many who worried about her drastic change.

“Don’t come near me.”

Camilla pushed them away, hoping to isolate herself.

Camilla’s appearance was not like that of a noble warrior who defended justice and kept the peace, but rather like someone who wished for death at any moment, but perhaps this was natural.

When I stopped walking, I could hear the nostalgic footsteps of children I used to play with a long time ago. When I closed my eyes, I could hear the whining voices of children who used to call my name and tease me.

Camilla couldn’t get close to anyone.

I was scared.

Losing loved ones.

In this wide world, there is no place that will accept my tired self.

The day she was chosen by the Holy Sword and became a warrior, Camilla was truly happy.

Because the warrior in the fairy tale was always a courageous and generous person who made everyone happy.

Camilla also prided herself on being able to make people happy like the heroes in fairy tales.

All the heroes in the book were strong and happy, so she was proud that she was like that too.

She failed to become the fairy tale knight she had dreamed of.

When I close my eyes, I remember the tragedy of that day, and when I try to eat, I hear the children’s voices.

Please save me. Where did my sister go?

Sister… I miss you so much.

The horrific memory of that day lodged itself deep in Camilla’s mind and began to eat away at her.

As this time passed, Camilla’s body gradually lost its past appearance and transformed into a different person.

As humans go through a period of growth, they change and in the process, they realize things like what kind of person they are and what they live for.

The human body is not like an unchanging rock, so its appearance changes and changes over time.

Camilla’s mind was stuck in a happy moment and refused to accept anything new.

Because the moment she accepted it, Camilla wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Because I felt like I was going to collapse from the sense of loss that all the people I loved had left me.

However, the world needed her, or rather, the warrior, without knowing her true circumstances.

Even in this brief moment, people had to lose or have their loved ones stolen by demons and the devil, and after a long time of questioning herself, Camilla stood up again.

Camilla, who had remained in the past, immersed in sorrow, moved her unfamiliar body so as not to become a victim like herself and not to repeat the bitter past.

Having traveled through countless battlefields, Camilla’s body was gradually covered with battle scars.

As the battle dragged on, calluses and scars grew on Camilla’s body, and she was consumed by darkness.

Unlike Camilla, the kingdom and its people gradually regained hope.

Thanks to Camilla’s efforts, a significant number of demons and monsters died, and they began to sing of hope. After a long fight, Camilla was able to put an end to the Demon King, who was the mastermind behind all the incidents and had taken away her precious family.

It took a long time to get here.

The enemy of the family and the wish of all.

The Demon King was destroyed by the hands of the warrior Camilla, and she became the hero who defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the world.

Countless men showed interest in her, and some of them were of noble or royal blood.

Camilla, the warrior, knew their intentions well.

Because they do not love the woman Camilla, but they admire themselves for their position as warriors.

She became alone, rejecting all the marriage proposals that came to her.

Years later, Camilla went from being called a hero who saved her people to being called a villain who betrayed her people.

Childhood. The orphanage that was destroyed by a monster began to spread one by one through people’s mouths, with the lies that it was actually destroyed by Camilla’s one-sided massacre.

Soon they made up even more vicious rumors to discredit her, as if the rumors were true.

Was it childish jealousy or just some pleasant gossip?

When Camilla did not take any action, they accepted this as fact and criticized her, but Camilla did not react at all when she saw the citizens like that.

No, to be exact, I couldn’t.

Her emotions, which had long since been ruined, were no longer strong enough to correct the rumors, and she eventually transformed from a hero to a villain.

“………….”

Camilla, who was recalling memories from long ago, soon opened her eyes and looked up at the moonlight illuminating the night sky.

The moon shining endlessly. The moon shining brightly as if it knew nothing about sadness was so beautiful that she stared blankly at it.

I tried to catch the moon by stretching out my open hand.

But the moon did not come into her hands, and Camilla stared at her hands, unable to grasp anything.

“That moon that lights up the night sky.. The moon that shines brightly without being able to reach my hand.. It’s like a past relationship that I can never catch again..”

Camilla just stared in vain at her hands that were unable to grab anything.

Even though it was reflected in both eyes, and it seemed like she could reach out and grab it right away, she couldn’t. Perhaps this was the past she had been so desperate to return to.

Camilla, standing on the edge of a cliff and looking precariously at the moon, wanted to surrender to the wind that passed by her hand, but she could not.

The Holy Sword made her a warrior and gave her a curse.

No matter how badly injured or how close to death you are, you survive. You leave behind terrible scars that will never be erased.

The Holy Sword gave her a curse of immortality after she became a warrior, and she became unable to die even if she wanted to.

Even if you throw yourself off this cliff, you will only be hit with a painful pain that is enough to kill you, and then you will be fine again as if nothing happened.

That’s why Camilla was standing on the edge of a precarious cliff, looking at the beautiful moonlight.

“Uh… Uh…!!”

Behind her, someone’s urgent voice could be heard.

“………”

Camilla turned around cautiously at the sound of a man shouting urgently behind her.

“Ugh… Ugh…! It’s dangerous there..! Get out of there quickly!”

Camilla’s gaze landed on a man standing there, panting heavily and desperately speaking to her.

He was carrying a pole on his back, as if he were a lumberjack, and as if to prove it, there was a small amount of wood loaded on the pole he was carrying.

As if he had come running after seeing her dangerous appearance, the path he had taken was littered with similarly sized pieces of cut wood.

“I don’t know what bad happened, but calm down! The world is still beautiful, so don’t think bad thoughts!”

The man looked at Camilla standing on the edge of a cliff and slowly approached her, trying to persuade her, as if she was about to make an extreme choice.

Camilla did not respond to the man’s approach and walked away from the cliff.

“Phew… That’s…a relief!”

The man smiled foolishly, as if relieved, at the sight of Camilla like that.

That was their first meeting.
