With Kael, who had recovered some information, Llewen decided to work together for a while.

We decided to work together for about a month.

It was a time that was neither short nor long.

During that time, Llewen tried to win his heart somehow.

However, contrary to her promise, things did not go as easily.

Due to the nature of the place, there were many encounters with demons or monsters, and she also had to join in every day.

Every day was like a battlefield, a cruel battlefield where countless lives were lost.

Lewen realized one thing while fighting demons with Kael.

His level is beyond imagination.

Obviously, even the people I’m with are comparable to Paladins.

Their leader, Kariel, had reached an incomparably high level.

Perhaps, he is almost at a level close to the sword master that only appeared in past history.

Is this really possible?

Llewen had no choice but to hold her tongue.

‘For someone like that to be hurt like that… ‘

Honestly, she couldn’t believe it.

Who on earth can defeat him?

Unless you were a demon lord, it was almost impossible.

So, on a night when Llewen had some free time, she returned to the barracks and asked him.

Who on earth did you fight with to get those scars?

Kael answered that question like this.

“Fighted with the Great Demon.”

Great demon.

It was someone Llewen knew well.

In terms of location and strength, it could be said to exist right below the Demon King.

In fact, there were only a handful of people in humanity who could stand against them.

I can’t believe I fought such a great demon.

In that case, Kael’s wounds were understandable.

“… What happened to the Great Demon?”

“Gotcha. As the saint saw with her own eyes, the price was a wound that almost killed her.”

The number of great demons is two.

If one person was captured, there was only one Great Demon left.

In fact, it was safe to say that if only those great demons were captured, the demons’ power would be reduced by nearly 40%.

But Llewen couldn’t be happier.

What if he gets fatally wounded in this fight?

And what if it’s beyond your ability to treat?

Kael would die just like that.

Also, there is no guarantee that you can catch it.

Llewen wanted to stop him, but she knew she had no right to do so.

What can I say to stop him?

Nothing else, even killing demons.

It was especially impossible for her, a saint, to stop her.

But still, Llewen wanted to stop him.

The position of a saint meant a lot to her, but as a woman and Llewen, not a saint, I wanted to stop her.

But that’s not possible.

Because she knew better than anyone else, she had no choice but to remain still.

“Saint.”

Kael spoke to Llewen, who was clenching her fists.

Lewen, who had been looking at the floor, slowly turned to him.

Although his face was still unidentifiable because he was wearing a mask, his calm eyes welcomed her.

“Are you worried about me fighting the Great Demon? No, if I were to ask more accurately, would you rather not fight?”

Sudden question.

Of course Llewen tried to say no.

Such a wish was too deeply entrenched in Llewen’s heart to say it like that.

“You can be honest.”

At his honest words, Llewen expressed her true feelings.

“… I hope we don’t fight.”

“May I ask why?”

“I know it’s selfish, but… Because you are the person who is more precious to me than anything else… If you fight against the Great Demon, it is a dangerous task as you could get seriously injured or even die. Also, you have no reason to fight them.”

The reason Lwen didn’t want him to fight against the Great Demons was because of the risk of death, but she didn’t see any reason why he had to sacrifice himself to fight.

He is neither a warrior nor bound by any duty.

Then for what?

Does he sacrifice himself and risk his life to fight against demons?

Llewen could neither understand nor understand.

No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for him to be here like this.

Lewen decided to just get out of this situation.

“Just go back and be with me… Can we stay together?”

It was a somewhat blatantly selfish statement.

Even though I said it myself, I found it ridiculous.

It was a rather inappropriate thing to say in a situation where I didn’t know what he thought of me.

Still, she spit it out.

I hope that he will stop making sacrifices in places like this and just return to be with me.

But when she actually let it out, it was fear that came to her.

It’s only been two weeks, let alone a month.

It was a confession so blatant that anyone could hear it in a situation where there wasn’t much conversation.

How many people will actually accept it?

Naturally, Llewen thought he would refuse, and she was just beginning to feel afraid of him.

“Saint. I am not as sacrificial as you think. Of course, it’s true that we do these things to save people, but do you really think that’s all?”

“Yes?”

Llewen, unable to understand the true meaning, asked back.

“It’s literally like that. I asked him if he really thought I was doing this for just that reason.”

“… Isn’t it?”

In Lewen’s opinion, it seemed like he was sacrificing himself without any coercion.

Actually, that may be true.

However, I couldn’t help but be confused when I heard that it wasn’t just that.

“I have been running for just one person.”

“… Who is that?”

The one person he had eyes for.

Lewen felt truly envious of that person.

I wonder how much you value that person, so much so that you ran all the way here for him.

While I was wondering who that person might be.

“Of course it’s the person in front of me.”

“… Me?”

Lewen asked back with her eyes wide open at the completely unexpected words.

It was such an unbelievable statement.

“I don’t know because the saint has no experience with men, but men do not show favor to people they are not interested in. The same goes for me.’

It seemed like he was saying it jokingly, but Lewen could tell that it was sincere.

Therefore, Llewen had no choice but to ask.

“Alternative… Why?”

Llewen was saved by him that day.

In fact, thanks to that, I am able to live the life I have now and was liberated from hell.

In fact, a being who goes beyond being a benefactor and would not be strange if he gave his all.

On the contrary, he has not received anything from himself.

But why is there such favor?

Also, what does it mean to do what you do now for yourself?

Doubts and doubts continued to form.

In the midst of all kinds of random thoughts entering Lewen’s head.

He spoke again.

“Haha. Is there a reason for having someone in your heart? It just happened that way.’

“I don’t want to tell you… ”

There’s no way he didn’t know that he was avoiding the answer.

I don’t know why he came to like me.

Lewen decided not to worry.

No matter what, the fact that I was in his heart was an unchangeable truth.

Llewen pursed her lips.

If you truly feel the same way, you can go back.

That’s what I was going to ask.

But when I tried to speak, my mouth wouldn’t fall.

Because I feel like I somehow know the answer without having to ask.

Kael seemed to have noticed Lewen’s expression and said with a grin.

“Unfortunately, I cannot go yet. At least for now.”

Llewen’s lips closed in stubborn refusal.

Llewen decided to accept the momentum that would not come even if she did not say anything.

Because it won’t happen just because you’re stubborn.

“Then when can you come?”

“At least one year later. I think it’s probably like that. So, could you please wait a moment? We won’t make you wait any longer.”

I won’t make you wait any longer.

So please wait one year.

Lewen nodded and responded to Kael saying that.

“Like…”

I waited 14 years.

Waiting just one more year wouldn’t have changed much.

Rather, it was a situation where I was able to check my heart like this.

Llewen clearly gave up for now and decided to wait for him.

“… If you don’t come again this time, I’ll really hate you.”

Of course, there are things that can wait, and the waiting so far has not been nothing.

Although the joy of reuniting with him after 14 years was much greater.

Because she felt a little dissatisfied.

Llewen pouted her lips and made a threat rather than a threat.

“Of course. I will definitely go, so please wait.”

Kael answered with a smile.
