Chapter 264: A Flower That Came To The Sunset

A Flower That Came To The Sunset

E-Excuse me

Who are you?

A girl approached the ruins that were now controlled by the guards after the incident at the heros inauguration ceremony.

This area is off-limits. You cant enter without permission

P-Please, let me in

But the girl with messy hair and a disheveled appearance was met with suspicion by the guards.

I-Im also a concerned party

The girl was none other than Roswyn.

But the guards blocking her way did not recognize her.

This Could it be?

Even so, the guards recognized the Hero Partys certification she pulled out.

Swoosh

E-Excuse me!

Taking advantage of the guards slightly relaxed demeanor, Roswyn slipped into the ruins.

Let her be. If we interfere with a member of the Hero Party, well only make trouble for ourselves.

But still

Perhaps she lost a lover. Lets turn a blind eye for a few hours.

Hmm

The guards who had been talking amongst themselves noted her pitiful appearance and decided to let her be and resumed their guard positions.

Maybe Maybe its not too late yet

Having easily entered the ruins, Roswyn sniffled with a red nose and looked around.

I might still be able to save him

Despite the slim chance of survival for someone buried in the rubble for so long, she clung to the keyword missing in action.

I-Ill save you Hero

As she got closer to the debris, her hope grew little by little.

Just wait a little longer

Roswyn started to feel a faint glimmer of life as she started to pull out detection scrolls, excavation scrolls, and emergency potions from her guild.

Im going to

However, that glimmer faded the moment she looked at the detection scroll.

Even with the best scroll that she brought, there was no sign of life detected.

Ugh, uh

Deep down, she knew it was hopeless.

But her defense mechanisms and avoidance tendencies, which had always raised her pride, had led her to this point.

But delaying the inevitable conclusion wouldnt change the outcome.

I need m-much better scrolls

Roswyn knew this, but still, she began tearing the scrolls she held, sobbing as she knelt down in the middle of the debris.

The Hero cant die I-I never even got to thank you Y-You cant die

The Hero, who had been the reason for her life and kept her alive until now, died while only receiving hatred from the world and his own helper.

And she was there when it happened.

She had been of no help and even delivered healing potions to his enemy that inadvertently led to Freys death.

As she was about to presume such terrible and frightening facts, she desperately tried to come up with another answer.

You What are you doing here?

Eek!?

Someone appeared next to her as she continued to tear up scrolls and mutter to herself.

Who are you? How did you get here?

I-I

The person was none other than the chief of the Imperial Investigators.

Excuse me, but could you please verify your identity No, never mind. I finally get to go home after a few days, and I dont want any more headaches.

The days-long investigation finally concluded, and he, relieved to be finishing up and heading home, looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared at his workplace with an annoyed expression.

U-Um, by any chance about Frey. Is there any information on Frey?

However, Roswyn recognized him as one of the regular patrons of her guild and asked him a question.

Frey, you say?

He felt a tingling sensation as Roswyn asked.

Well, uh that is

In fact, he had recently taken a bribe from Isolet and announced a fabricated fact about Freys death.

I think you should look at this!

However, as befitting a symbol of the empires corruption, he quickly put on an unfazed expression, pulled out a newspaper, and handed it to Roswyn.

[Breaking News] Frey Raon Starlight Confirmed Dead.

A shock to find his body in the ruins currently being transported to the hospital

The first-ever Duke to be stripped of his nobility, becoming a nobody

..

The newspaper contained more than Roswyn could handle.

Well, will you take your leave until I get off work?

.

Then, Ill leave you for now.

Even as the Chief Investigator scratched his head and left her side, Roswyns gaze remained fixed quietly on the newspaper.

[Breaking News] Freys Body Missing.

Blood, blood?

Her hand was covered in blood.

Uh, uhhh..

She had coughed up blood for the first time in almost ten years.

I-I dont want to die!

She used all her strength to get up, opened the entrance door, and rushed into the guild.

M-Miss Roswyn!?

When did you leave?

M-Move!

Then, she ran to her room with all her might.

I-I must touch the flower

As her room came into view, she blinked her eyes full of tears and murmured.

I dont want to die like this..

Her face was smeared with the terror of facing death.

The fear of death that had slowly overtaken her when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and whenever she was on the brink of dying as a child came back to haunt her more than anything else.

Ah

But when she entered her room, she suddenly lost her words.

.

Her room was filled entirely with flowers given by Ruby.

Though she couldnt identify it at the moment, it was clear that the girl was an enemy of the Hero.

Flutter

Even those flowers had all withered away.

Thump!

In such a situation, her legs gave way again and she collapsed to the floor, then she soon mumbled in tears.

S-Someone please help me..

But, of course, there was no one to help her.

P-Please save me

There was no one to save her either.

Ugh

Realizing this painfully, she fell to the ground and began to tremble as the pain began to take over her body.

Ah

It was then that she truly understood how important Frey had been to her.

Cough, cough..

But it seemed to be too late.

Creak

Miss Roswyn.

Just then, someone opened the door to her room.

Frey?

As she recalled Frey, who used to visit her with flowers and a smile, she called out his name and slowly reached out her hand.

A parcel for Miss Roswyn.

..Ah?

But it wasnt Frey who arrived, it was a delivery man.

Ill be going now.

After handing her a small box, the delivery man looked at her sickly appearance with a look of disgust before disappearing.

..

She flinched at a gaze she never thought she would receive again and then quietly lowered her eyes.

Whats this?

There was no information about the sender.

The recipient was only marked as Roswyn Solar Sunset, and the date the box was packed was written on it.

Year Month Day

The date on the box was from about a year ago.

Rustle, rustle

After staring at the box for a while, she opened it with an apathetic attitude, clearly having lost all hope.

.Huh?

Her eyes widened in surprise.

This is.

Inside the mysterious box was a red flower and a yellow flower.

Buzz

And at that moment.
