I can't die here; even as that thought ran through his mind, he heard a
defeated voice as well; I'll die if I don't move. The dream of becoming an
integrity knight and going to meet Alice would disappear forever. His
beloved sword would take in the blood of humans and Eugeo will become a
villainous criminal. But still, he was able to help Teiza and Ronie in the end
at least. Raios and Humbert shouldn't be assaulting those girls any further.
Hence—even within this terrible crime he had committed, there was a
fragment of relief.
"Kuh, kuku... It's the first time taking off a human's neck with a real sword,
even for me. No, even my father or uncle shouldn't have done it. With this,
I'll get even stronger... much more than even that aloof heir of the
Levanteinn family."
Raios's sword and face glowed white once more and the roar of a crack of
thunder followed that. Even Humbert, hugging onto his left arm, opened his
eyes wide as though he forgot the pain of his wound for the moment while
Teiza, still bound on the bed, tried her all to voice something out.
Eugeo returned a small smile to the novice trainee who worked hard
serving him as his valet, though it was merely for a single month, and
bowed down his head.
