Chapter 38

“Me? Save this country?”

“……”

The expressionless way in which those words were uttered . Even the voice that accompanied it was void of emotion, extremely inorganic .

“Until the time comes, don’t unnecessarily stick your nose in our business . Otherwise, you won’t be able to make a choice again . ”

That was a solid warning .

“……”

For him, it was a precisely drawn borderline .

Tedla still didn’t have the preparedness to step forward from there .

“……”

While following Syltina who walked ahead, Tedla remembers the conversation they had earlier .

Syltina said that I will understand in time .

That I will understand everything when the journey ends .

Yes . That’s . What . She . Said .

“…… she didn’t even hide it . ”

She gave me the information without even hiding, dodging, or much less even sealing her mouth .

It may be something that cannot even be called ‘information’, but, it was still enough to understand that they, The Dipterous Sword, were . up . to . something .

In other words, that is……

“So, I’ve come to a point where I cannot stop, because I know something now……”

Tedla suddenly understood as soon as he mentioned it out loud .

“Ahh…… so, we were wrong from the beginning……”

Yes, we were surely wrong 2 years ago .

We were making irreparable mistakes since 2 years ago .

At that time, today’s reality might have been already decided .

The fate of the country might have already been decided from the time we blamed the girl called ‘Syltina Balratona’, and exiled her abroad .

She……who once loved this country more than anyone else, who made every effort for the country’s sake, now said that it was ‘hateful’ .

She said that she loathed it to the point that she could destroy it .

Ahh, without a doubt .

She never had the intention of helping from the start .

Be it the country or the Saintess, she completely did not have the intention of saving either .

“A choice, huh?”

It’s as she said .

I have to make a choice .

I was lucky enough to even be given a choice .

Then, what about the people who weren’t given any?

“……”

That’s kind of a foolish question .

Tedla shook his head and decided not to think of the names of the people that came to mind .

“If you ask me to choose, then I have already made up my mind……”

Ever since then, I have regretted, lamented, and repented for my actions 2 years ago .

“I will never betray you ever again . ”

I want you to smile at me once again .

That is all .

With a jerk, he clenched his fist as if to swear an oath .

And, that choice, will greatly change Tedla’s fate, thereafter .
