Chapter 52 - Rest

" Uhak! "

" Zio! "

Zio vomited a lot of blood. The blood was hot, it even let out steam amidst the city's cold night air. Cecilia quickly wiped his mouth and shouldered him. Even though Zio had the idea of him showing weakness in front of other people, but this time he had no power left to even put up a facade.

" Let's head to my place for tonight. "

" ...no. "

Zio who walks like a drunk carried by his drinking buddy, stopped his pace. He rests his back on the wall catching for a breath. Cecilia feels so sad and sorry to see him in this state. She thought that it was because of her that he had to bear so much suffering.

" Golden... Orchid... Felrys... in the north... "

" ...Okay. Just hang in there, Zio. "
