Dear Eddert - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

“Have you forgotten what happened after that, Cedric?”

Walter took a step towards him, then spit out his teeth. Eden was brutally murdered in exchange for choosing a normal life instead of following the fate of the Imperial Family.

“It wasn’t anyone’s fault, Walter.”

“At least we could have prepared for the danger!”

If Eden had prepared for the future with Sernotti’s knights, the result would have been different. Walter contorted his face and pressed Cedric.

“Are you afraid?”

“What do you mean?”

Cedric raised his gray eyebrows upwards.

“The reason you don’t want to admit that she’s Eden is that you’re afraid of what’s ahead. Because you’re afraid to die for her!”

“Walter. Now… Are you suspicious of me?”

Cedric whispered lowly to Walter. The blood drained from his angry face.

The legendary Sernotti that exists for the Imperial Family. The shadow of light and the guardian of the hawk. It was the young Cedric that was most agitated when he accidentally learned that the man whom the eldest sister had secretly married under Imperial Order was the veiled head of Sernotti.

“You know what Sernotti means to me?”

Hyemi’s ears did not understand what they were saying, but it was clear that the atmosphere was unusual. The expression under his gray hair was cold and frightening, and Walter, who was opposed to him, was also the same who couldn’t hide his anger. It was a situation that was not strange even if anyone drew a sword instantaneously.

‘What… What to do?’

Hyemi bit her lips. If Cedric killed Walter, there was no guarantee that it wouldn’t be her next turn. She knew best who she now had to hang on to. At least Walter had to be alive until she met Benedict.

“If news leaks that Eden is awake, they will definitely come back. It is also my duty to be prepared for danger. It would be even more dangerous if Eden was in a chaotic situation like now. You will never know how serious the situation is now.”

Cedric looked at Walter and his eyes lit up.

“We have already lost our colleagues. Even if Eden is alive, they… can’t come back.”

It was the night Eden died. The assassins who raided to kill Eden were just as expert as they were. That night. Sernotti, which had been peaceful for 12 years, suffered a total of four casualties and one missing. It was a painful sacrifice.

“If we do, we could be wiped out, Walter.”

“Cedric.”

Walter’s eyes gleamed darkly. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand Cedric’s words either. No. Rather, he understood perfectly. Because he could still vividly remember how hellish the sorrow of losing a loved one was.

“I’m sure you’re aware of what you’re talking about now.”

However, it was Sernotti’s duty to remain loyal to the Imperial Family. Cedric’s words now were dangerous remarks that could shake the foundations of the family.

“Calm down, Walter.”

“… Shut up.”

Walter could no longer be sober when it came to Eden-related matters. There was a momentary tension between the two of them, and it was when they drew their swords at the same time without saying who came first.

“Excuse me!”

Hyemi jumped out of the high window without realizing it and screamed in haste.

“Cedric! Walter! Wait!”

It didn’t matter anymore that she flew like a flying squirrel again. Hyemi couldn’t stand the confrontation in front of her. No, most of all, she didn’t want to die like this.

“Sorry. Cedric. Because I can’t remember… really I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, Eden. There is no one here to bow your head to right now.”

Walter pointed his sword at Cedric’s neck, and spat out with scorching eyes. Walter seemed to want to stab him at any moment, as if he couldn’t see the effort she was making to rectify the situation in a situation that made her legs tremble.

That’s why her dad told her not to get close to hot-blooded people. Hyemi opened her mouth as if begging with an expression on the verge of crying.

“Walter, I’m talking to Cedric….”

Walter gnawed his teeth and bit his mouth as if her plea had worked. Hyemi did not miss the opportunity and barely spoke to Cedric.

“Cedric. Everyone, I can’t even remember who you are, so I guess we weren’t that close….”

Cedric’s gaze as he glanced at her with his long eyes gave the illusion that a cold wind was blowing. She was on the verge of hiccuping, fearing that the sword might fly away again, but Hyemi suppressed her fears and raised her voice. In this situation, she must not make enemies, her instinct was shouting strongly.

“At least I don’t think I ever hated you.”

A silent light flashed across Cedric’s gray eyes.

“Cedric… Maybe it was because of how you were looking at me earlier.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Contrary to the hard tone, the gray mixed with gold eyebrows twitched. It was all or nothing. Hyemi raised her voice a little, hoping that her predictions came true.

“You cut the pillow on purpose earlier. From the beginning… You didn’t mean to cut me.”

‘As expected, you know that too?’

Cedric’s intentions to test her reaction were true. Eden was one of the most powerful people in Sernotti before her death. At the last moment, he slightly changed the direction of the tip of his sword, a subtle difference that would not have been noticed if the opponent wasn’t really that woman.

But even if Cedric admitted that the woman in front of him was real, not everything was going to be easy.

Witnessing Eden’s death three years ago, Walter’s eyes widened like a madman. Ten days after carrying her body to the Wizard of the Stone Mountain wizard, he returned to the estate carrying Eden with her wounds completely gone.

She slept like a dead woman and never woke up. It must have been difficult for everyone to accept her as Eden, who spoke in an unfamiliar tone without remembering anything.

Moreover, now that Eden has been revived, she was no longer in a position where she could only be considered as their colleague. According to her will, the fate of all Sernotti’s knights will be decided.
