Camilla..

Before she was nicknamed the Warrior, she had a precious name called Camilla.

A name given to him by his mentor who took him in when he was abandoned by his parents and on the verge of death.

A loving name given to me by someone who showed endless love to me even though I was abandoned by my family without any request or compensation.

Camilla liked her name like that.

Although she was abandoned by her parents and had to live in the world with a new name and identity, Camilla was infinitely bright compared to the gloomy reality.

With a detailed personality, she became an older sister to children younger than her, took care of the trembling child, and was the first to step forward and solve the problem when a problem arose.

Camilla was a very sassy child.

Because I couldn’t stand injustice and would always lend a helping hand to the weak.

Perhaps it was only natural that she, with that kind of personality, would become a warrior who saves people.

One day, during an event to find the owner of the Holy Sword, Camilla accidentally pulled out the Holy Sword embedded in a rock and was selected as a new warrior.

The people there sent their praise to the newly born warrior.

It was the first time.

It’s amazing to be surrounded by so many people and receive congratulations.

Camilla, who was chosen by the Holy Sword, officially became a warrior after her audience with the King, and she could not hide her elation at the fact that she had become a warrior.

A warrior is someone who stands up in any moment of crisis.

Because he was a being who brought hope and dreams to people.

All the heroes in fairy tales overcame difficult trials and achieved a happy ending, and I thought Camilla would do the same.

There may be difficult moments, but it was clear that happy moments would come at the end.

“Sister… You have to go, right..? Can’t you just stay here with us and live together..?”

“I’m sorry, Lisa.. I want to do that too.. But to become a true warrior, I have to leave this place and train.. Even at this very moment, there are people dying because of monsters.. I have to become strong because I’m a warrior.”

“But…”

“Lisa..”

Camilla blushed as she looked at Lisa, who was crying and holding onto her clothes.

Lisa. The only child who survived when her entire family was murdered by bandits right before her eyes.

The day she first entered the orphanage, Lisa avoided everyone who approached her, seeing them as enemies, and she hurt herself out of guilt for surviving alone, preventing others from approaching her.

Camilla approached Lisa, who was carrying these wounds, and comforted her.

Camilla’s sincerity opened Lisa’s tightly closed heart.

To Lisa, Camilla was not just her older sister, she was family, so she wanted to hold on to Camilla as she tried to leave.

Camilla, who knew of Lisa’s wounds, also hesitated to leave with reddened eyes.

In order to protect Lisa, her teacher, and her precious younger siblings, Camilla had no choice but to leave this place.

He had to become stronger and stronger to protect the people. That was what it meant to be a warrior.

“Lisa.. I promise.. I will definitely come back. I promise I will never leave Lisa behind.”

“Really…?”

“Yeah. No matter how far apart we are, our hearts are connected. After work is over, I’ll definitely come back. When that time comes, we’ll eat lots of delicious food and tell you lots of stories about our adventures! ”

“Really, sis..?”

“Yeah! I promise. If something dangerous happens, hold this necklace and call my sister. Then, no matter what happens, I’ll come running.”

“Yeah…!”

Camilla said goodbye to Lisa, handing her the necklace that was hanging around her neck.

Lisa smiled brightly at Camilla’s actions and waved at her as she left.

Although it may be a difficult moment right now, just like the other warriors, the future will be filled with only happiness, so Camilla left Lisa’s greeting behind and headed to the kingdom.

“Hey… Warrior!!”

“Oh.. Sir, what are you doing here..”

“That.. That..! They say a group of monsters have appeared in the village!! Too many people have gone crazy and couldn’t evacuate due to the sudden attack!”

“What?! Where is that!”

“The name of the village is Randy Village.. It is the place where the warrior lived!”

[Bam.]

At the knight’s urgent words, Camilla dropped the sword she was holding.

Many people were unable to evacuate because the monsters attacked the village. And that village was like Camilla’s hometown, filled with memories from her childhood.

Camilla, feeling an indescribable sense of uneasiness, hurriedly ran back to the village where she had lived.

“Hehehe.. Sister! Close your eyes… Ta-da! I made this myself?! It’s a gift!!”

“Camilla.. No matter what happens, you will grow up to be an upright adult.”

“Today I’m going to sleep with my sister! No, today it’s my turn to sleep with my sister!”

“Lisa…! Teacher’s kids..!!”

Camilla, who was running hurriedly to the village, felt anxious as she thought about Lisa and those who were left at the orphanage.

Even though I wanted to ignore it, I just couldn’t ignore this uneasy feeling.

Why does my heart feel so heavy?

Camilla’s head was complicated thinking about the children and her teacher in the village, but she headed toward the village without stopping.

Soon she arrived in front of the orphanage, her home and the place she would return to.

“Ah….”

The orphanage where Camilla was born, raised, and made memories was destroyed without a trace due to a monster attack.

The yard where we used to run around laughing with the children was a mess, stained with unidentified blood, and the trees we planted together were gone without a trace, leaving only their roots behind.

“No.. This is.. No!”

Camilla tried hard to deny the fact that the orphanage had disappeared without a trace and began to search through the rubble of the miserable orphanage.

Surely everyone had evacuated. That blood must be the blood of a monster. Camilla thought desperately as she searched through the rubble.

“Ah…!”

Camilla, who was digging through the rubble of the horrific collapse, witnessed it.

The bodies of the children and their teacher who had turned their backs on the world in a miserable state.

Their bodies were missing their arms, legs, and internal organs, which should have been there due to the demons’ entertainment. In particular, the body of the teacher who had given her name had her wrists and ankles both severed, and she died without even closing her eyes, shedding tears of blood.

Lisa, once Camilla’s precious younger sister, greeted her as a cold corpse, her head and all of her limbs missing except her right arm.

I could tell without even seeing her face that this gruesome corpse was my precious little sister Lisa.

Lisa was holding something tightly in her right hand until the last moment, and Camilla spread out Lisa’s delicate hand.

“Ahh…”

What Lisa had in her hand was the necklace that Camilla had given her at the moment of their separation.

Lisa must have been thinking about what Camilla had said at the moment of their separation, and must have prayed the moment the demons invaded the orphanage.

Please save me. I need my sister.

Even at that moment when Lisa’s arms and legs were torn off and her head was lost, she remembered the promise she made to her precious older sister and waited for her.

Camilla was never able to help Lisa.

“AAAHHHH!!!”

Camilla wept bitterly, hugging the bodies of Lisa and her children who had died in such a horrible manner.

My most precious family members… died at the hands of demons.

It wasn’t even a complete corpse, but rather one that was badly damaged and filthy.

Camilla, who had become a warrior, just cried out loud.

Although she was still weak, Camilla was a warrior and she definitely had the power to stop this incident.

However, even though he had the power to protect, he was unable to protect anything.

The orphanage, a treasure trove of precious memories. And the teachers who showered me with love and kindness.

The children who always followed her around with bright smiles. Lisa who believed in Camilla and waited for her until the very last moment.

At these facts, Camilla simply cried, embracing the ruined orphanage and the corpses.

It was an accident that no one expected.

There were also people who died because they couldn’t escape the monster that suddenly invaded the village without any warning. If you think about it, Camilla wasn’t responsible.

She could only endlessly blame herself for not being able to protect the people she loved despite having the power of a warrior.

[Thump… thump…]

The sky also seemed to sympathize with Camilla’s suffering, and raindrops began to fall, one drop at a time.

In the ruined orphanage, Camilla held the bodies of those she would never see again.

Their corpses, which had grown cold, were as hard as cold stones, having lost the warmth that Camilla had felt and longed for in the past. But she simply hugged the corpses that had grown cold in silence.

Camilla, who had become a warrior, had her precious people taken away from her for the first time.

[Shooo]

Camilla, in the strong beam of light, stayed there for a long time as if remembering the last of her loved ones.

After a long time, Camilla got up from her seat again. Her eyes were blank and unfocused, like those of a dead person.
