The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 86

She felt ashamed that Carlisle was carrying her like this, but she was in no position to protest, as her condition made it more difficult for her to keep her balance. While the effects of the medicines had been blunted by his mental and physical training, he could not dull them completely. The more time passed, the more his body felt like cotton.

"Nurtain …"

He felt Carlisle looking at him. However, he did not move and adjusted his arms to better support her.

"Sorry, but I'm very sleepy. Can I close my eyes for a moment? “

"…of course."

Carlisle seemed to want to ask more questions, but Elena's drowsiness made her stop doing so. Elena felt like she was floating in the air.

Unintentionally, his mind went back to the past. In his previous life, there was nothing to rely on, and even in this condition he would try his hardest to return to Blaise's house alone. He endured that lonely life to the fullest for revenge. When he looked back, he remembered many times where he did not know how to fight for his survival. He opened his mouth and started to mutter.

"Some time ago .. I had frostbite on a very cold day."

His life became somewhat more bearable only after he had developed sword skills. Previously, her life as a woman without previous abilities was a painful and difficult time.

"My legs are numb and have large blisters, and the person next to me says he should probably cut off my legs."

As she listened to Elena speak calmly about her severe experience, Carlisle replied, puzzled.

"Is your life as a noblewoman so difficult?"

Carlisle's voice sounded like a dream in Elena's ears. Elena continued with a hazy look in her eyes, leaning her head against Carlisle's chest.

"But the funny thing is, my first thought was — will it free me from my revenge mission?"

Sometimes the path she chose was so painful and demanding that she wanted to escape from it. The death of his family cannot be undone, and more than once he wants to give up his mission for the sake of his sanity.

That was why he immediately noticed the scent of the Payan flower. There were many men in his previous life who tried to sedate him and defile his chastity and he would stick his sword into his palm so as not to lose his senses due to the effect. Every night he slept with his sword by his bedside. It was a difficult life to become the best female swordsman on the continent.

“When they put a knife to my feet that was bitten by ice, I strangely realized that outside the battlefield of hell, I was a nobody. When I let go of my grudges, I will no longer be Elena Blaise. "

"…"

Carlisle looked at Elena blabbering in disbelief, but even so, he might not know what she was saying. He spoke in a soft voice.

"…What do you think? “

Elena replied in a low voice with a mocking smile.

"Even if I take revenge .. I may be dead."

To defeat Paveluc was Elena's lifelong wish. But was there ever a life after that? There would be many changes in the Ruford Empire after he died, but he could not think of anything that could catch his attention. Even if he restored Blaise's house, his family was dead and gone. He can follow Paveluc to the grave after he destroys it.

He was saddened by the sudden thought. Even if he fulfilled his mission, there was nothing left for him.

“I don't know what you're talking about, but don't carelessly say you want to die. It won't happen unless I die first. ”

He smiled at the confidence in his voice.

"I guess it's because you weren't there. Because you are dead … "

"I'm dead."

Carlisle looked at Elena doubtfully, but he didn't seem to notice.

“I'm happy to meet a couple like you. Not as cold as before. ”

Carlisle looked at her with a questioning look, but he hugged her closer. He looked scared of the cold. Elena relaxed in her warmth without even realizing it.

"Thank you, then I'll .. fall asleep."

At the end of his words, he gave up on sleep.

Carlisle's arm was like a shield protecting him from everything in the world, allowing him to float without his sword by his side. It reminded her of the time her mother would rub her back gently.

Elena had a good dream.
