"Thanks to you, I was almost buried here." Edward smiled, but the words spat out from his mouth were so icy and cold that it seemed to be devoid of any warmth.

"I am also forced to do this.As long as you return with me, I will try my best to protect your life! Is that alright? Edward, let's not blow things up any bigger than they are now." She smiled bitterly, seemingly trying to explain something.

"There is no need to continue speaking any nonsense. Just attack. If you are bent on stopping me, then…" Edward shook the sword slightly and said in a bland voice, "You can take my corpse back."
