Chapter 14 - Decay

"After they finished eating, Chione bid farewell to him.

He promised her that they would meet next month; now he resumed his training again.

While swinging his sword, Elric was thinking.

Elric was puzzled because Felix hadn't approached him in two weeks. Elric knew that Felix liked Chione and he told felix that they were just friends.

Elric resumed training and didn't think about it anymore.

While walking back, Chione stopped when she saw Felix blocking her path.

"He said you're friends, so why were you hugging each other earlier?" Felix spoke coldly.

Chione frowned. Felix, this patrol soldier, had been bothering her for a month.

Initially, she quickly told him that she wouldn't respond to him like she did to her noble suitors.

But Felix persisted and said he would prove himself, but Chione ignored him to make him stop.

But now, he had gone too far. What did she care if she wanted to hug Elric?

"Get out of my way," Chione said angrily and coldly.

"If I can't get you, I'll take you by force!" Felix shouted and quickly ran toward Chione.

He grabbed Chione's hand and pulled her.

Chione quickly acted and kicked Felix and quickly ran.

"H-help!" Chione shouted.

Felix quickly acted and chased Chione. His face was like a monster, laughing as he spoke.

"You're mine, Chione, you're mine!"

He quickly caught Chione and punched her in the stomach to weaken her.

"Bastard! Get away from me!" she shouted angrily.

Felix kicked Chione and she flew and hit a tree.

Felix slowly approached the beautiful, weakened woman with lustful eyes.

Felix quickly mounted Chione and was about to remove her clothes when she suddenly took the knife hanging from Felix's side.

Chione quickly stabbed the knife, but Felix quickly blocked it with his hand, causing Chione to stab his hand instead.

"Bitch! That hurts!" he exclaimed.

Felix punched her in the stomach again, but she didn't lose consciousness.

With all her strength, Chione grabbed the knife again, but Felix also held her hand, accidentally stabbing her in the chest.

Felix stood up in shock, looking at the knife stuck in Chione's chest.

Her eyes slowly lost their life and her breathing weakened.

After a few moments, she finally stopped breathing.

"W-what is this? This isn't my fault... It's your fault for taking the knife..."

Felix's body trembled now, unsure of what to do.
