"Get lost!"
The Knights of the Crowned Prince threw me away. My eyes were completely swollen with weeping.
"Be grateful that the Crowned Prince was considerate enough not to punish you. Now, don't ever come back to this place!"
I looked at my tiny hand in the dirt, and I wasn't able to make him believe me. Why is my hair black? Elke is already in front of me, yet I wasn't able to do anything.
"Sca...Scarlet?" I heard the sound of someone's calling. I lifted my head as I saw him, the little kid that helped me before, covered in severe wounds and wounds. His body was severely swelling. I ran toward him as I worriedly shouted.
"What happened?! How could they do such a thing to you?!"
"...N..never mind… that… What… what about you…?"
His question pierced my heart directly. My eyes were welling up with tears.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry!!" I burst into tears in front of him.
