Chapter 179 The Second Event Collapsing Kingdom part sixteen

(Feera Von Hermagnes PoV)

Translators Note: As Feera hasnt appeared in quite some time, Ill give everyone some quick reminders in case anyone forgot who she is or her circumstances.

Feera is the first princess of Hermagne.

Annabella was the maid who cared for Feera since Feera was young. Rena killed Annabella.

Some time ago, Rena killed Hermagnes King and kidnapped Feera. Feera suffered a lot during that time because Rena forced Feera to see a lot of people she cared for die and stuff like that.

Hannes was eventually able to rescue Feera and bring her back to Hermagne. When this happened, Rena promised that she would no longer harm Feera.

Rena eventually killed the Crown Prince of Hermagne, making the 2nd prince the new person that was going to rise to the throne.

The 2nd prince was greedy for power and stuff like that, so hed do whatever hed need to in order to make sure nobody could challenge his claim to the throne.

There they are! I could hear a soldier shouting that from outside.

The sudden noise startled me, but I soon calmed down again once I heard the usual noises of the chains I guess the castle might be under attack by a criminal? Probably by that woman

I sighed, then looked at my chained hands for the umpteenth time Being imprisoned under the accusation of murdering my oldest brother? Really?

I suppose it couldnt be helped. Almost everyone who supported my oldest brother, or that wished to help me, are dead after all. Who would contradict the words of my second brother when taking this into account?

Dont let them through! Another guard exclaimed.

My brother even chained my ankles Why? What would I even be able to do if I was allowed to walk around freely in this room? There is nothing here It may be slightly more comfortable than a prison cell or the castles dungeons, but its still a room made for noble prisoners, there is no way father would have let anything in this place that would have allowed someone to escape.

Will I just die here? I somehow survived when each person that I loved died When Annabella bought time for my escape When dad was killed When I was kidnapped for the sake of starting the war with the Empire Even when Marquis Gawain died, I somehow survived, but I cant really escape from here, can I?

Being chained like this, isolated from anyone who would care for me Im just powerless. Even if my second brother doesnt send someone to assassinate me, I might just get buried alive by rubble. Its actually quite likely when considering who is the person that is probably attacking the castle right now Or maybe shell just destroy the whole thing, and blow me up on the process.

I wish I could have at least talked to Annabella one more time. We couldnt even find her body after all And my oldest brother is now gone too

You shall not pass! A guard exclaimed. His voice was close.

Out of the way! A voice I knew shouted He was really close. I couldnt quite recognize it, but He was definitely close.

Why though? There is nothing in this area, just locked up nobles with nothing of value in them.

Well, I suppose it doesnt matter. I guess dying by human hands might be preferrable over being crushed by rubble at least.

But then, the door to my room was flung open, Hurry up, were leaving! The known voice shouted.

I turned towards him. I couldnt quite believe it, but it was definitely Lord Hannes!? I exclaimed.

Eh? Y-youre chained!? Hold on just a second! Lord Hannes rushed my way, and used his axe to quickly cut through the chains, setting me free.

Why are you? I couldnt help asking. It still felt hard to believe that he came here to save me Am I really Am I really going to survive? Once again? Somehow?

Ah, well You see Lord Hannes seemed to be having a hard time answering. He was scratching the back of his head, and seemed to be searching for the right words.

He sighed. He sighed, then gently patted my head, Im sorry. I couldnt protect your oldest brother. I lost my breath at those words. The tears that I thought had long dried up, started welling up on my eyes again, But I promise you Ill protect you. Ill protect you, and give a huge scolding to that villainous woman.

I didnt hold back the tears. I understood that lord Hannes did what he could, I understood that he came here for me, I understood that he couldnt have expected my oldest brother to be killed in the way he was, but

But still Is it really Is it really okay for me to live? I asked. Was it really okay for me to keep on living, when each person that I loved had died one after the other? Do I really deserve to be saved, when not even my oldest brother was?

Lord Hannes was startled by my words, both his eyes and mouth were wide open How horrible of me. He just saved me, and Im asking if I have the right to be alive Im so pathetic, I-Im sorry-

Thats not something a child should be worrying about! He cut off my apology, then suddenly lifted me up, putting me on his back, Is there anything you want to bring with you!? He asked.

Something to bring? I I couldnt quite follow what was happening anymore, but if there was one thing Annabellas memento.

Here, I already got it. He then pulled out a small wooden box and gave it to me Was this in one of my brothers rooms? Did he search for it before coming to me?

Thank you I muttered. The tears were falling even faster than before Its okay, I dont need to hold them back.

Ah, just Dont open it in front of me, alright? He suddenly told me.

Eh? Uhn Okay. I didnt quite understand it, but I nodded for now.

Still, this box I wonder whats inside it? It feels Warm.

Lord Hannes started running while carrying me. He seemed to be leaving the castle, so I guess we wont be staying in Hermagne for now I suppose it cant be helped. I dont want to leave, but if I want to survive, then I have to run from my second brother. At least At least for now.

I took a deep breath, then decided to ask, Where are we going?

The Wallace Kingdom. He instantly replied.

W-Wallace!? I couldnt believe my ears Why is lord Hannes Why to that womans kingdom?

Dont worry. Ive known that woman for a long time now, and I can assure you that she has never broken a promise. I know that you have all the reason to be wary of her, but She wont harm you. Lord Hannes explained.

I see Was all I could say for a reply.

He is right that I have no trust in that woman, but If Lord Hannes is saying it, then I suppose I should trust his words.

Though I wonder what could have caused Lord Hannes to not only know that woman for a long time, but to also know that she has never broken a promise Those two people who have directly opposite morals, somehow are close enough to have exchanged multiple promises? That is Unsettling.

Hold on tight! As Lord Hannes said that, he started running faster than before.

Y-yes! I hurriedly exclaimed while clinging to him with as much strength as I could muster.

I dont understand whats happening. I dont understand their relationship, I dont understand anything, but Its fine. Its not the time to worry about those things.

I looked back for a small while, looking through the corridors that we were quickly passing through. This kingdom My fathers kingdom My oldest brother kingdom Ill return to it. One day, Ill definitely return to it.

Even if I have to sell my very soul to that devil.
