L98. Her Life over Mine

Item : Book: Unspeakable Admiration

The Carso Church followers overpowered me easily. I was enslaved, and moved around, and ended up here. Every day here is torture, trying to bear it as they keep absorbing my power.

"Why isn't she coming home? I only pray that she's taken good care of herself. Did she find Xin?" I held onto the crystal necklace in my hand and muttered to myself.

Whenever I was tired, I took out the necklace she gave me on my birthday one year.

She made it for me out of crystals. It was my only spiritual support. Every time I looked at this necklace, I felt like she'd been with me all the time, and I remembered laughing and playing when we were young...

As time passed by, the Carso Church followers tortured me even more severely, and I could not bear it.

Alone and in agony I would cry to the air, "Please let me see her..." I lay on the prison floor, clenching the crystal, with a swirling void in my eyes.

Human beings, when they're near their end, want most of all to see the person who means the most to them.

Suddenly, the door of my cell opened and someone came in.

"... it's you? Long time no see..." I forced a smile with my remaining strength, and I looked up and said hello to her weakly.

Yes, the person I loved so much was now wearing the outfit of a Clergyman at Carso Church. She stood in front of me with tears all over her face.

"Let's go! She whispered and held me up, ready to take me out of the cell.

"Oh, you silly..." I shook my head at her and showed a faint smile. She knew I was rejecting her kindness.

I don't think I'd smiled once since the last day I saw her...

Yes, I was surprised that she joined the Carso Church, but knowing her so well, I realized at once that she did it to save me and locate her brother. And of course, she was also planning to learn the weaknesses of the Church, so she could be a double agent and destroy them from within.

Carso Church, where the most dangerous place is the safest...

And just like that, I saw that I could no longer be the one to protect her....
