Chapter 26 - I am still me and you are still you

In the late night...

(Revenge me!)

(Rescues the Saint!)

(Slay the false Hero!)

"Ah!?"

(Revenge me!)

(Rescues the Saint!)

(Slay the false Hero!)

"Stop!"

(Revenge me!)

(Rescues the Saint!)

(Slay the false Hero!)

"STOP~!!!"

Edgar violently awakened from what it seem to be a nightmare. Sweating and breathing heavily, these three lines of words continue to appeared inside his head after the incident in the woods.

"Edgar!?"

Anna who was sleeping with her head leaned on Edgar's bed with her hand was startled by his scream.

"Are you ok!?"

Anna sit next to Edgar on the bed.

"Hey Anna...", Edgar stares closely at Anna.

"Yes?", she can hear the sorrow in his voice.

"Am I still me?", he asked Anna.

"..."

Anna just quietly sat there and look at a Edgar with a tender eye.

"That time when I received this mysterious power, I felt a incredible rage, despair and hatred inside of me. So much that it caused a pain so unbearable to me.", Edgar continues.

"..."

Again Anna just sat there quietly and listen to him.

"A voice started appearing inside my head, asking me asking me to avenge him. When I look at Roy, a strong murderous feeling arise in me. This feeling that I never once had before..."

"..."

(The emotions left by the creators of the inherited legacies. So Edgar felt it too, a malice one, mine's I can felt the gentleness and kindness of the Saint Fiora. Who could had left something like this? From memories that I received, only the Black Mage's legacy was left as Roy received the Hero Siegfried's and I received the Saint Fiora's. But why is the Black Mage's legacy so ominous and evil then? Isn't he also a part of the three champions that saved this continent of Arkandia? He is part of the three but why only the other two was remembered?)

The more Anna think and the more questions she suddenly received, something isn't right for sure that she thought.

"I am scared that I will become someone else and not myself, I am scared that I will hurt the people that are close to me, especially you..."

Anna couldn't bear to see her lover like this and embraced him into her chest.

"Don't worry, you will also be you, the Edgar that I love.", Anna reassured him.

"And you...?"

"And I too, will always be the Anna that you love.", she said it in a comforting manner.

"Thank you", in the embrace of Anna he said with a relief.

"Now go to sleep, it's late", she said while casting a spell that calms the heart of the target.

"Sleep well my love"

Anna gently lie Edgar on the bed and give him a kiss. She too sleep after, beside the bed with her hand holding his's next to her face.

Next morning, Edgar wakes up to Anna holding his hand close to her face.

"Hey!"

He quickly wakes her up.

"Yes?", she yawned.

"Why are you sleeping like this? If you wanted to, you can also sleep on the bed with me!"

"Hmph! I am not letting you to take advantage of me!"

Seeing Edgar returned to normal she smiled.

"Last night, did you remember anything?", she asked.

"Last night? What happened last night?", Edgar looked puzzled.

"Nothing then", she laughs as she look at Edgar.

Anna get up and leaves.

"Hey Anna! Tell me me what happened last night!", he said as he went after her.

"Milord!"

He's soon bumped into Frederick in the hall.

"My bad", Edgar apologized.

Seeing Edgar being all right, Frederick was relieved.

"Do you need anything Frederick?"

"Oh yes, we had a guest looking for you."

"For me? Where is the person?"

"She is currently in the living room waiting for you."

"She? A girl?", this made Edgar curious as to what kind of girl will visits him with that reputation of his.

Soon he arrived at the living room and saw a person whose figure is clearly of that of a female. She wear a cloak covering from head to feet while siting on the sofa.

"Hello"

Edgar approaches her

"Your are Edgar Von Valvford? Lord of this territory?", the girl asked.

"Yes, that's me"

"Can you please save me?"

She pleaded as she takes off her cloak.
