“……”
In the dark stone room, a damp and cold aura occupied everything. With the heavy iron door tightly shut, the only thing that came into contact with the outside world was the pitifully small window three meters above, which was also surrounded by iron bars.
Laeticia, who had a collar on her delicate neck, looked at the little bit of sunlight that shone into the room in a daze.
She wasn't abused in captivity. As long as she asked, the members of Perseus guarding the door would try their best to fulfill her request. However, of course, only 'freedom' was impossible.
However, Laeticia, who was mentally prepared, did not feel sad or self-pity. After confirming that " No_Nome " had a future, she had nothing to worry about. No matter how cruel her fate was, she was confident that she could kill her own will.
(…Please)
However, she was kneeling on the ground in front of the small window and praying devoutly with her hands together.
Like a saintess who had died for her religion, the holy Vampire Concubine only had one last wish at this moment.
" No matter who your leader is, let him remember: We,'No_Nome', will gamble our dignity and glory to take back our compatriots who are above all else. And then he will pay for his blasphemy."
(…Please, merciful sun…Don't let him do something reckless because of me…Don't destroy the fragile sprout that has finally been reborn…)
As a vampire, he was praying to the sun, his natural enemy. If anyone saw this scene, they would probably laugh out loud. However, at this moment, Leticia was wholeheartedly closing her eyes, praying that this humble wish could be fulfilled.
However, after an unknown amount of time, she began to have doubts.
He had committed such a great crime and was saved by the people of 'No_Nome', and now he could be said to be a burden to the new' No_Nome'.
Did he really have the right to pray to the sun?
(…My sun…Where is it…)
“……？”
Suddenly, the light shining on her dazzling platinum hair was blocked a little.
A tiny red color floated in through the small window along with the breeze. When she realized that it was Sakuragi's flower, the flower had already landed in her hand as if it had its own consciousness.
When she touched the tiny petals that were radiating the warmth of the sun, Leticia subconsciously covered her mouth.
Because if she didn't do that, she might make an embarrassing sound.
(... Idiot... Really, a big idiot...)
Clenching this tiny but warm hope, Leticia prayed devoutly again.
(I don't beg for forgiveness for my sins…but, O radiant star of mercy…please…)
This time, she found her sun.
(To protect those children.)
