Part 7
---Ancient Vampire Citadel, Elliptical Orbit Throne Room
Leticia stared up at the ceiling constructed with crystals in a daze after having sent the two figures off with her eyes.
Originally having wished for it to come earlier, even if by a second, if the Sun would quickly appear, it would be able to burn this body.
If her comrades lost their lives during this time ……she would really be unable to rest in peace.
Izayoi….Yō… Why must you do such a stupid thing……!
She tossed the words of the man who had appeared before her acceptance of the Demon Lord’s branding in her mind.
Every time that she chewed on those words, Leticia would feel a stab in her heart.
“---Shouting to protect things that you aren’t able to protect, making a fuss about wanting to save those that cannot be saved?! Those are just acts of a clown! How can you not even understand that point……”
Leticia clenched her teeth and leaned forward seeming in an attempt to curl into a ball. Perhaps it was such a move that Garol couldn’t continue to watch anymore that he approached from her side and slowly gave a nod to himself.
“Yes. Shouting to protect things that you aren’t able to protect, making a fuss about wanting to save those that cannot be saved?! Those are just acts of a clown!---but Leticia. Those who can do that……are undoubtedly heroes.”
“But….But…”
“And didn’t we also walk alongside those guys till now? About those two children, don’t you have any confidence in them?”
Garol asked in a warm tone, just like a parent teaching a child.
Leticia was unable to rebuke to that and could only turn her face away with an expression that seemed close to crying.
“You do not wish to kill your comrades. I’m sure that those children understand your feelings and hence place their lives at risk to save you.”
“……Garol.”
“Leticia, let’s believe in them. Those children……will surely save you from the karma of the Demon Lord’s branding.”
