Although Lord Edward was wavering a bit at first, he gradually started walking more steadily.

I kept trotting right behind him to not slow him down.

“…Makoto… What’s her condition… Impossible!”

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been talking telepathically, but sometimes I hear him mutter something while walking.

This time, however, he couldn’t withhold himself, so he shouted out in a loud voice.

Stunned, I stared at him.

Lord Edward gradually started walking slower until finally, he came to a stop and sat down on the ground.

“Lord Edward, is something the matter?”

I sat right next to him and looked at his face.

“It’s none of your business…”

He said. His eyes looked full of grief.

“It’s ok to cry if something bad happened, you know. You’ll feel better if you let it out.”

He remained silent, but a single tear trickled down his eye.

I wonder what happened.

But after seeing how depressed he was, I couldn’t say anything more than what I already have.

After a while, Lord Edward waveringly stood up.

His expression was still dark, but he continued to look ahead.

“Can you keep going?”

“…”

He stayed quiet and started to walk.

Taking one step at a time, slowly but surely.

I continued to follow him.

“…Please stop following me. Please just leave me alone.”

“!!”

I was just behind him, following and catching up to him, and then he suddenly said that without even looking at my way.

I came to a stop, surprised by his sudden words.

Unlike before, the way he said it this time was full of repulsion, he was clearly rejecting me.

I don’t know if it’s for the best to leave him alone as he is right now.

But I feel like he would stop me even if I ignored him and followed him against his wishes.

I stopped in my tracks and remained still as Lord Edward continued to walk forward, who completely disregarded me.

I just stood there stunned and shocked, as I watched Lord Edward go further and further away into the distance.
