What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Chapter 16.
‘Is it true that the revelation said that woman would die?’
It was the Holy Sword’s question that woke us up from seeing Arya disappear from the room.
“Yes, I’m sure. I’ve done everything to change what comes out of the dream, but the results are the same, even though the form is different.”
The form is different, but the result is the same. It was a sentence that implies revelation.
No matter how much you move to know the future and change the outcome, the situation that was revealed to you was unconditionally approaching.
“Now is not the time to be like this. Princess Arya is in danger.”
If Princess Arya died, she was Sera who understood with her head that she and Lenny, who had been with her for a long time, would be sad.
‘I don’t want to see Lenny sad.’
It was natural for Sarah to want to protect the smile of the person she loved.
“Aria-sama is probably at the Konkukje festival site.”
Since Aria seemed happy and liked enjoying the festival more than anyone else, it was obvious that she could be in the right place.
“Laysha and Sera will stay here and protect Princess Aine.”
Eren, deciding that she still needed an escort for her princess, planned to leave her at her imperial castle. It wasn’t good to have them both meet.
“No, I’ll go with you.”
However, Aine did not intend to sit still and wait for the situation to be resolved.
‘I’d rather die.’
Aine, thinking that if Aria died by changing her fate, she would never be able to forgive herself, she asked Eren to accompany her.
“I know Arya well. Please take me too.”
“Princess. If the two of you meet, you could die. Is that okay?”
She might die herself? However, Princess Aine did not have a choice.
“It’s okay…”
Aine didn’t look all right as she spoke with a smile, but all she could see was her concern for her beloved sister.
“…I’m going fast.”
After saying that, Eren turned around and left the room without Aria and started running.
Eren must have also conveyed Aine’s concern for her younger brother, and her steps were faster than ever.
She didn’t like Aria, her rival, but Aine, her older sister, liked Eren, and she was jealous of her.
‘Can I receive that kind of love from someone…’
Eren looked at Lennie, who was running beside her while thinking about that.
“…”
Since Lenny’s eyes were no different from Aine’s who were worried about Aria, when she saw his eyes, Eren’s heart was filled with ugly emotions.

“Where did you go! Find me quickly!!”
A chase was taking place in the middle of the city where the festival was being held.
The chase was one-sided, and Arya, the fleeing side, was cornered.
‘Why did this happen…’
A misfortune unfolded for Aria, who bought her skewers and went into her alley to eat them. By the beings called assassins.
Even when she asked for help, no one came for some reason, and even Aria, who was well versed in magic, could not stand the sight of her five people desperately charging.
She wasn’t afraid of any magic and they were desperately running. She thought that if she chanted magic, she would be mortally wounded. Arya, cornered, could only think of one way.
“Not even there!? I don’t have much time…”
Arya hid in her box on her sidewalk and wished they would go away. Her physical abilities were far superior to those of an assassin, so she was the best option in a situation where she could not escape.
Arya couldn’t do anything until someone came.
May someone come and help. I regret my weakness and ignorance. Her self-esteem, which had risen, began to fall again.
•••
The warrior party was moving in a hurry in a crowded plaza.
ㅡHey, warrior, warrior..!!
People passing by recognized the warrior’s party and greeted them, but we couldn’t afford to accept it.
“Arya loves skewers!”
Even Lenny thought Arya liked skewers.
‘Eat this Lenny!’
She was the one who went to the skewer house and ate her skewers if only it was a celebration fair
My first thought was to go to her skewer house and ask if she had come.
However, one thing we overlooked was that the skewer shop occupied the most stores on the day of the festival.
It was a situation where the scope of the search was too wide, and at the skewer restaurants they visited, there were many customers wearing hoodies.
Since it was physically impossible to find her in her crowd, I decided to walk in our one hope.
“Sacred sword, is there anything you can do?”
‘I can’t know everything, it’s just a special sword that has lived longer than others’
The key is cancellation.
I felt grateful for telling me about the revelation, but now it was a holy sword that was just a lump of iron.
“Kuluk cool..”
“Are you okay, Princess?”
Perhaps the princess didn’t have good stamina unlike us, so she wore a hood and coughed with her head down.
“Ugh…”
Beside him, I saw Reysha, who looked even worse than Aine and was sick of it. Her physical strength was weak, so she had to use a vitality buff on herself before regaining her usual complexion.
“Come here, everyone.”
Sera was standing at the entrance to the alley and calling us.
When we got to where she was, we saw two skewers that had fallen apart.
“Here lies the magic of deterrence.”
It was said that there was a perception-deterring magic, so that what was happening inside could not be communicated to the outside world at all. Henry was meticulously prepared. And I didn’t even have to worry.
“Uh huh..? If you go right in like that…”
From noble mtl dot com
Seeing the skewer lying weakly on the floor, she thought of Aria as she handed the skewer to her.
‘One is Lenny’s’
Aria, who bought two and shared them on the day of the celebration, smiled brightly while making an expression that she couldn’t see in the imperial castle. And she felt that she was truly her family.
‘It’s Simple Lenny’
If there was an aria in this, it was something she didn’t have to worry about. I don’t think about the bridle of fate.
“Deacon Lenny, you can’t go in like that. It’s dangerous because you don’t know what’s inside.”
Sera then came in and spoke harshly. There was nothing wrong with her words, so I just went further inside.
“What about the butler?”
Eren, who came in next, asked after seeing that Lenny, who had come in first, was invisible.
“You went first.”
Since it seemed impossible to stop him from wanting to waste time, Sarah had no choice but to let Lenny go.
With the insurance attached to Lenny, of course.
“He said he was gone…”
Eren, a warrior, knew better than anyone else that an act to save a person’s life, but emotions were not that easy.
The deeper you go, the better.
“Let’s go too.”
Eren, who was worried about leaving Lenny alone, started moving after Lenny.
“Are you running again?”
Laysha, who was exhausted because her physical strength had not yet recovered, could only pant and apply the vitality buff to her legs.
It was because the saintess was a buffer that did not allow her to recover.
“Go..Come with me..!”
Even Aine started running, so she was Leisha left alone behind.
Arya felt that the voices around her had diminished.
The sound of their shouts gradually diminished, and after a while, no sign of a person was felt.
‘I went…I…?’
Thinking she shouldn’t, Arya took a moment to catch her breath and calm herself down.
‘I didn’t seem to have time.’
Because they were assassins who looked urgent as if they were being chased, they seemed like they would disappear with time, so even though they had disappeared, Aria, who was inside her box, began to shed her tears.
‘Crying…You shouldn’t cry…’
She knew better than anyone that she shouldn’t cry in the current situation, but she couldn’t control the flowing tears.
A country’s princess hides in her box and waits for help. Arya, who saw herself objectively, thought she was very ugly.
ㅡ Taktak.
At that moment, the sound of her footsteps was heard and Arya swallowed her breath. She was near someone.
Arya experienced that the tears automatically stopped flowing, and she wished that this time would pass quickly.
However, her steps continued to come toward her.
ㅡ Bruised. Bruise.
As she got closer, the sound of her footsteps grew louder and choked Arya’s breath.
‘Please pass by…!’
She was a hard praying aria, but she didn’t work.
ㅡKikiiik..
Someone’s hand opened the large box, and light began to enter Arya, who was inside the dark box.
“I found it.”
Arya lifted her head and turned her eyes towards where her light was leading.
“What are you doing here, Arya?”
It was the moment when two people who should not have met met.
“Let’s go home.”
Aine’s eyes were smiling more kindly than ever.
