Eaten By The Tyrant I Raised

It was a dreamy voice.

Forever, I want to be with you.

Rone thought it might be a dream. It was such a nice and calm night if it werent for the knights downstairs who were obnoxiously loud with their intentions to kill her.

Rone opened her mouth. But.

How could she send someone like that to a sacred place!

I want you to call the heresy interrogator of the temple right away!

From outside, Nabel heard voices that talked about how to punish Rone. Rone fell silent. The Count seemed to be in motion. He planned to send Rone to the temple, and thought he would sell it to the merchant family afterwards.

The merchants were worshippers of money rather than the gods in the distance, so they were well suitable to the Counts wicked schemes.

But, you and I, no. Rone spoke firmly, swallowing the bitterness that crept in her heart. She didnt even know her hand was touching Nabels. My father will somehow try to sell me to a better place, so I will object to it.

There was no way to protect Nabel if he came across so many knights. Rone closed her eyes. She suppressed her desire as she always did, but Nabel heard it.

I like you too.

If she was sold somewhere as the Counts intentions were, they might meet again. But if the temple would decide that she is indeed a heresy, she would be burned. Then, it was goodbye.

Nabel slowly closed his eyes. Above his shoulder, a fox jumped up, as if comforting him. He looked at the fluttering tail and returned the fox to Rone, who snuggled comfortably in her arms.

Grace will surely pay back.

I will not forget your kindness.

The fox bounced in Rones arms. Nabel did not dare reach out to Rone. It wasnt a rejection, but it wasnt the best time. Instead, he stroked the fox. This fox will only follow its sister. Sometimes it will disappear, but then

Nabel reached out and touched Rones shadow. Then, the fox purred as if Nabel was stroking his body and soon emerged from the shadow. Rones eyes opened wide.

Stroke the shadows, and it will come out.

HowDoes he know so well?She wanted to ask that. Rone was wondering where he came from. Surely, he was not a slave.

I could see very occasionally, where I was. Nabel bowed briefly. Its from a family that follows only the owner, supports only the owner, and will risk its life. It will never leave its sister, Rone.

Rones eyes quivered at Nabels words. She knew that the moment she wanted to avoid was coming.

Rone Humiliation was evident in his voice. Rone knew that Nabel would change someday, but she still hoped. He had grown older than when he first came

Dont forget me. Nabel whispered. He was determined to save Rone from this place.

The scars left by the chains were gradually fading on Nabels wrists. Now, only faint traces of his imprisonment remained. But for him, it didnt matter if there were rough marks there again, because he had fixed his soul on his goal.

Are you leaving? Rones voice was weak. Even though she knew he would go someday, Rone wanted to hold him.

I dont want to be alone again.

Once again, she suppressed her desires, not realizing that her thoughts were flowing through Nabel.

Rone, wait. Nabel held her hand tight. He whispered strongly, Certainly, Ill be back.

Nabel. Rone muttered his name briefly, bowing her head. Ill name the fox, Bell.

After your name.She meant she would not forget about him and the months that were most special in her life.

Thank you. Nabel caressed her hair, which was slightly unkempt and looked like dried rose petals. Her rosy hair stayed on his fingertips for a while. I will come back, for sure.

Where would Nabel go? Rone thought curiously, but didnt ask. She didnt know where to go, but as soon as the answer came from the temple, she knew she would be erased from the world. Then, they wont be able to meet again.

She closed her eyes, but opened them at the soft touch on her forehead. It wasnt on her lips because she didnt allow it. Nabel had placed a kiss on Rones forehead.

As he bid his farewell, he left, the picture of Rone still captivated in his mind.

He should rather leave. Rone thought as she looked at his back. She closed her eyes. This was not a happy place, and hence, the treasured moments in her life were over.
