Celestino Snaps

I shoved my reins towards the stable boy, grabbing Eric by the shoulders.

“Really!?”

Before I could ask about Lucia, the way his young face warped sent a wave of despair over me. Seeing the tears in his amber eyes, my mind went blank.

“C-Captainnn...” he whimpered.

“Where is he!?”

“H-His Highness’ room... The bear is holding him down, but he wants to go to see His Majesty. Lucia—”

I ran off before he could finish.

As I approached the prince’s room, I could hear Gaius’ screaming. Unlike his usual light tone, he was in a rage. “...Don’t screw with me!”

Kicking open the door with no regard for politeness, I saw the Vice-Commander fall to the floor as Gaius stood over him.

“She... Do you have any idea how she felt, going on that journey!? She might’ve had a strange power by coincidence, but she was just a normal girl! She tried her best because of the king’s orders, even though she was terrified of monsters. How can you not be ashamed of what you’ve done to her!?”

“...To me, His Majesty’s orders are absolute. I will do anything he orders me to do. That’s the pact my clan has made with the royal family.”

“You fool! Isn’t it your job as a retainer to stop His Majesty from making mistakes!?”

Blood dripped from the side of the Vice-Commander’s mouth as Gaius shook his large fists. Commander Agliardi and Lord Reynard came in behind me as I stood staring.

“Florido, what happened?”

The Commander’s voice was lower than usual, probably trying to hold back an angry roar. But even the rare sight of the angry Commander wasn’t enough to make Vice-Commander Astorga crack.

“I just did as my king commanded. This would not have happened if she would have given up on marrying Captain Clementi. Gaius Canalis, move. I must report to His Majesty. And Your Highness, would you please return that to me?”

“I refuse.” Prince Edoardo stepped forward with an expression I’d never seen before as the Vice-Commander calmly answered, “My Father is wrong. There’s no way this is forgivable. I will never forgive it.”

In his fist, a familiar bunch of long brown swayed, seemingly tied together by something light pink. Her long hair had been brutally chopped off.

Lucia—

“You monster! I shouldn’t have saved your world...! You’re all evil! Give Lucia back!” The Sacred Maiden collapsed on the floor, howling.

“Celestino!” The Commander’s voice and the sound of blades clashing brought me back to reality. “Calm down! You can’t do this! We still have to question him!”

I saw the Commander blocking my sword with his own, protecting the Vice-Commander, but I couldn’t stay calm.

“Move! I can’t kill him with you there!”

The man who stole Lucia’s life was so close, yet felt so far.

“I don’t care about the king’s orders,” I spat “That has nothing to do with me. Move!”

“No, then your life would be next!” The Commander’s green eyes admonished me, but I felt nothing.

“I have no reason to live in a world without her.”

Hey, Lucia.

If the world you’d saved took your life in return.
