"ah… !"
The pendant string fell piece by piece, leaving only the jewel in his hand.
Soon, a light filled with holy energy spread around Julia. At the same time, her outward appearance gradually changed.
Fernan's face, looking at it, slowly distorted.
"under… ."
He smirked with a complicated expression on his face. It was a face that looked kind of miserable.
He couldn't speak so easily and just stared at her.
"Uh, how did you know?"
Yulia muttered with a puzzled face. How the hell did she see what she was able to recognize herself?
All of a sudden, this man became terrified. It seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't get away from him.
He gently opened his mouth, holding the pendant in his hand as if he was about to break it.
"This pendant has a faint stamina."
The pendant had lost its light. I hadn't heard of Matthew's assumption when the pendant broke, but he knew instinctively.
That the Holy Power remaining in the pendant was absorbed into my heart.
Is it because of that? My heart felt hot and throbbing as if something had burned it.
The excessively absorbed sexual power began to riot, as if it wanted to get out of this narrow space.
"Now go back. That's enough trouble for me."
Fernando grabbed her hand roughly. She bit her lip as she stared at the knights that surrounded her.
There was nothing more I could do. She was led by Fernando's hand without saying anything.
He hoisted her up on the saddle at once, and then naturally climbed behind him.
"Yulia."
His hoarse voice subsided. His hand gripping his waist felt a bit stubborn.
Julia looked down at his large hand for a moment, then looked away.
Looking at her stiff back, Fernand pulled the reins.
Soon the horses began to run at great speed.
They exited the city center and entered the forest leading to the wall.
Julia cleared her impatience and looked around. There were trees all around the road covered in snow.
Through the trees, I caught my eye that there was a dizzying path here and there.
Julia glanced at his arm that was imprisoning her.
"majesty."
Yulia opened her mouth in a quiet voice and turned her head to look at him.
"… it's hard. Get some rest."
It was meant to distract him, but at first glance, her face was in a state of exhaustion.
After the pendant broke, the pain in my heart got worse.
Fernan looked at her without saying a word, then slowly slowed down. After stopping him completely, he said something to the knight who was approaching him.
"I ordered you to bring the wagon. It won't take long."
Julia nodded her head slightly. As she turned to get off her horse, her Fernando, who came down first, gave her a soft hug.
His hand felt very cautious.
After stepping on the ground, Julia stumbled for a moment. Still, her exhausted body had been riding a horse for a long time, so she did not get any more strength.
She rolled her eyes slightly and looked around. She was looking for an escape route.
"Where have you been?"
At that moment, a low voice fell. Yulia kept her mouth shut and kept her silence.
"Did you go with the priest of the Temple of Illion?"
Her hand trembled. How the hell do you even know that? She lowered her gaze and hid her bewildered face.
"The pendant must have been given to him by him."
"… … ."
"If you don't want to answer, do it. We just have to catch them all and interrogate them."
As his hoarse voice subsided, he could no longer be silent.
"… Don't hurt innocent people. He has nothing to do with me."
It was Cedric, not Matthews, who helped me directly this time, but if I dig deeper, it could even damage Matthew.
I couldn't hurt the people who helped me out of pure goodwill.
Fernando looked down at her with a narrowed eyebrow. Yulia turned her words while looking straight at him like that.
"Why did you look for me?"
I still couldn't figure out why Fernan was going to do this to get me back. He didn't say a word for a moment, and then he shook his head coldly.
"My wife is gone, but is there anyone who is still?"
Yulia was at a loss for words and raised her lips quietly. It was because the words he uttered, "wife", felt more unfamiliar than any other words at this moment.
"… Was I your wife to His Majesty?"
Hearing the helpless question, he pursed his lips with a complicated expression and then closed it tightly.
… you won't be able to answer 'Cause I've never thought of you as her wife.
Julia struggled to get up. And he walked along the path, ignoring the following Fernando.
I didn't want to delay any longer.
After a while, her steps stopped at the top of a cliff with a panoramic view. A strong river flowed beneath it.
Her eyes looking over the cliff were determined. Perhaps, I didn't know that this was the surest way out.
"Yulia, come this way."
As she continued to walk, Fernando called her in a hoarse voice.
Julia searched through the inside pocket of the robe without answering. A small scabbard was held in his hand.
I didn't know that what I had hidden in the robe the whole time in case of an unexpected situation would be used like this.
Turning around, she pulled out a knife with a stiff face. You can't just threaten him with these things, but you can open up a little bit of time.
"you… ."
Fernan looked at her with a slightly bewildered look.
"Don't come near. If you come any closer, I'll really stab you... ."
At the words that were uttered with a certain threat, Fernan again hardened his expression coldly.
"Do whatever you feel like."
As if convinced she couldn't stab me.
After he took a few big steps, Yulia flinched and stepped back.
Biting her lip, Julia looked at him as he approached and changed the direction of the blade.
The knife that was aimed at him was now aimed at herself.
"Now, what are you doing… ."
Fernan, who was staring at her with a cold face, stopped for a moment. Julia boldly stepped backwards from her. Again, this seems to be more effective.
"Damn, put that knife down!"
His face was cracked at once. With his momentum that seemed to rush at her at any moment, Julia pushed her sword closer to the nape of her neck.
Red blood flowed from his neck because he didn't control his strength. But strangely, she felt no pain at all.
As she slowly stepped backwards in that state, Fernan's face slowly collapsed.
"Shit… . Don't move any further! It's my fault. So… ."
While he couldn't come closer, Julia's steps gradually got closer to the edge of the cliff.
Fernan, who had stopped completely, slowly retreated back as if not to approach him any longer.
Nevertheless, Julia did not stop.
Fernan looked at her with a blue tired face, and then opened his mouth with a cracked voice.
"Please don't do this. I'm all wrong I'll do whatever you want So… ."
he was trembling Unbelievable that he was such a cold and heartless husband.
Yulia, who had been staring at the figure, felt the sense of reality gradually disappear.
The blade that dug into the nape of the neck, the footsteps on the edge of the cliff, and Fernando screaming as if begging were all unfamiliar.
But one thing was certain: I had to end it here with him.
At that moment, the scattered snow began to grow stronger. Julia quietly looked up.
Behind Fernan, I saw the knights running.
Julia, who looked at him from afar, slowly engraved his face into her eyes for the last time.
If it isn't now, I know I'll never be able to get away from him forever. Maybe she will fall in love with him again.
"… The misfortune is enough for what I've been through."
I didn't want to be tied to him anymore.
Julia stepped back a little. The body, which had already been half-stretched on the edge of the cliff, lost its balance and collapsed slowly.
"Yulia!"
Looking at Fernan who was desperately rushing, Julia completely leaned her body.
At the last moment, I saw the knights grab Fernan as they jumped at me.
Julia slowly closed her eyes. Her body, which fell rapidly, sank deep into the cold river.
At the same time, the holy energy that flowed from her heart slowly began to wrap around her body.
