Only with Your Heart

When they reached the front of the room they were looking for and pushed thefirmwooden door open, the unique smell of various medicinal herbs mixed with different aromas and odorsgreeted them.

They lit a candle and entered the room, finding a row of clear glass bottles of various sizes lined up on an old wooden table.

Some were filled with liquid, others with dried leaves, and each one had a small silver plate attached to it.

(Fever reducer) thats what she gave me for my daughter it worked well. (Diarrhea), (stomachache), (bruises) not exactly what were looking for.

However, thereweretoo many kinds.

Arde and Roan split up and searched for what Estabelle requested from top to bottom. They managed to find (stabbing wound medicine), (bleeding prevention), and (disinfection). Roan carried three bottles in his strong, sturdy arm.

Just as he was about to leave Estabelles room, Roan, who was one step ahead of Arde, stopped.

Come to think of it, youre the girl who served Chizuru fourteen years ago, Arde, right?

Yes thats right.

When Arde answered, Roan stared up at the ceiling in astonishment.

Oh my God! Lukrovhiredyou for Chizurus sake,didnthe?

Although Lukrov never explicitly declared it, Arde herself believed so, and by all accounts, there was no other way to explain it.

Yes, maybe I suppose youre right, Arde said as she smiled faintly.

Damn!

Roan patted his chest with one hand so hard that the bottle he was holding in the other handalmostfell out.

Although inappropriate, Roans reaction was very straightforward and honest.Lukrovs love for Chizuru was so deep that he couldnt help with noticing it everywhere,and it made him sad. Especially now, when Chizurus lifewason the line.

I guess I should tell you then Chizuru was shot by an arrow while covering for Lukrov. The arrow was aimed at his heart. The fool wasnt wearing any armor, and if Chizuru hadnt shielded him, he wouldnt be alive today.

Aldes legs stopped moving. Its not that she didnt expect it, but

Thats not all.

Histypicallybright and flashy face tensed up visibly, and he slowly turned to face Arde.

After Chizuru was shot, another arrow followed in rapid speed. This time it was aimed at Chizurus heart But the arrow opponent was Lukrov. He quickly saw through it and tried to protect Chizuru, but he had no sword or shield as he let go of his sword when he saw Chizuru and rushed towards her. It is something that no one should do in battle. But Lukrov, at that moment.

Roan was at a loss for words, unable to finda suitableexpression.

Arde nodded in understanding.

Anyway, they both fell off the horse to avoid the arrow, I dont know if it was a spur of the moment thing, or if that was the way it was supposed to be, but the tip of the arrow that was stuck in Chizuru got tangled with Lukrovs chainmail. It got tangled,and he couldnt get it off.

For a moment,Ardeblinked impatiently, unable to comprehend what was said.

What do you mean, it got stuck?

This is it.

In order to make it easier to understand, Roan picked up the chainmail he was wearing with his free hand and showed it to Arde. The heavy metal sound echoed.

Even Arde knew how thick and heavy it was without any explanation.

Its heavy and quite difficult to put on and take off. There is no way you can take it off in the middle of battle. Its like asking the enemy to kill you.

So what happened to Lukrov-sama?

She was afraid to hear the answer, but she felt that she had an obligation to know.

Shehadto help the two of them

They were facing a harsh fate, and someone had to protect them.

For some reason, Roan looked around cautiously, then returned his gaze to Arde and continued in a low, restrained voice.

He fought with one hand while holding Chizuru to his chest, He picked up the fallen swords and defeated many enemies, and it continued until the battle was over. What else was he supposed to do?

He kept apologizing to Chizuru continuously.

Ah.

Arde had to keep her eyelids down and took a deep breath to prevent tears from spilling.

The walk back to Chizurus room was unbearably painful and long.
