Trouble On The Way To Silverleaf Academy (XI)

"BRGH!"

A burst of black blood shot out from my mouth, splattering onto the ground.

I wiped it off with the sleeve of my black coat, not caring that the fabric was soaked through with that foul taste.

It didn't matter.

"F-fucking hell..."

I muttered under my breath, feeling the poison still pulsing through my veins. It burned, a searing heat that made my limbs feel like lead, but I kept walking forward.

Where was I going?

The cathedral.

I needed to meet Christina.

Just one last time.

I couldn't believe it, though.

The damn knights of the Royal Knights Order—poisoned attacks?

That wasn't part of the plan.

But still... I wasn't dead yet.

"However... my plan did work. That's what matters."

I gritted my teeth, staggering a bit as I kept walking, forcing my body to push forward.

The pain was unbearable, but it was worth it.
