Blood didn’t have to ask the identities of the other two Lise spoke of.

“Colonel Claudia is just as crucial a figure in the Eighth Legion as Lieutenant Colonel Ashton was. Now that we’ve lost him, we cannot afford to lose her too.” The mental and the physical were closely interlinked. Even if Claudia were in peak condition physically, a disturbance to her mental state might render her totally incapable of carrying out her duties as an officer.

“Claudia has a strong heart. I know that better than anyone. Even so, I could see her being overcome by sorrow. That being so, ser, may I have your leave to go to her for a short time, to comfort her in her grief?”

Blood was silent a moment. “I should be asking you. Are you sure?”

“Leave it to me, ser. It’s my duty as an old friend,” Lise said proudly, only a hint of sadness in her smile. No matter what I do, I’ll never be as good as her, Blood thought wryly.

“That just leaves Liv...” He stared at the smoke drifting up into the sky from his cigarette, thinking about Olivia. Watching her from day to day, one could be tricked into thinking that she didn’t even know how to be sad. But perhaps that was only because real sadness was something she had yet to experience. Even with her immeasurable strength, even if the imperial army had named her the Death God, she was still a sixteen-year-old girl.

Really, the best thing would be for Colonel Claudia to break it to her as her aide, but that won’t work this time. I can’t even guess what she’s up to in the imperial capital with the Azure Knights, but when she gets back, I suppose I’ll have to tell her myself... His cigarette had turned almost entirely to ash. Lise looked at him with worry on her face. To try and hide the strange awkwardness he felt, Blood gave an exaggerated shrug.

“I really drew the short straw, eh?”

“You have my sympathies, ser.”
