Loss and Regret 7

Unfortunately, Hiro took her into the [Mirage Sphere] and left her there. When Hiro was about to leave, she wanted to ask him why he saved her, but no voice came out. A familiar faceless black knight appeared beside Rilu as if to guard her.

When the woman saw the powerful back of her savior, the beating inside her chest drowned out everything else. Yet the words that followed woke her from her happy delusion. "I had a debt from your teachings and wisdom. With this, my debt to you is repaid. From this moment on we owe each other nothing."

Tears poured out of her eyes like river streams. It seemed unrequited love remained her constant companion in this life. Yet the one to wipe her tears was the giant knight beside her. Rilu couldn't help but feel defeated as she buried her face into Gideon's lap.
