The Rune Magician Who Lost Everything to Her Older Sister, Becomes Doted On by the Genius Prince – Chapter 46
Chapter 46: The Day I Became a Brave Man
I know very well that I’m a coward.
There are so many things I’m scared of.
Animals scare me.
Insects scare me.
Water scares me.
Thunder scares me.
I’m afraid to interact with others.
I was running away from so many things.
That’s why I can’t understand why the Holy Sword chose me, someone who is so cowardly.
“Grandma… The rain is getting worse. Maybe we should take a break from the farm on a day like this…”
“That won’t do. We have to protect the farm before it gets even stronger.”
“But, still…”
“Don’t worry. Zion can stay in the room. I’m used to this.”
Saying that, Grandma went out to the field in the heavy rain.
Outside, only the sound of rain and occasional thunder could be heard.
Both are scary.
Afraid to be alone, I couldn’t bear it and went to look for Grandma.
That’s when it happened.
Thunder rumbled and a pack of demon beasts attacked the village.
In a small village, there was no way to fight against demon beasts.
It was their first time for them to experience demon beasts, so everyone in the village was in chaos.
“G-Grandma!”
I ran.
I was worried about everyone in the village, but I was most worried about Grandma.
Grandma, who raised me.
If she disappears, I’ll be all alone.
I don’t want that.
Even in this situation, I feel pathetic that I can only think about myself.
But that’s all I can do.
When I arrived at the field, demon beasts had gathered around Grandma.
Grandma had fallen and was struggling to get up.
It wasn’t a situation where she could escape.
“Grandma!”
“Zion! Don’t come here!”
Grandma was kind.
She smiled at me with relief for my safety, despite her own peril.
I understood that she was telling me to escape, from the bottom of her heart.
Such a beautiful heart…
I don’t want to lose it.
I don’t want her to die.
“I have to help.”
As soon as I said those words, my head went blank.
How long had it been? How many seconds had passed?
When I came to, demon beasts’ dead bodies were scattered around me.
I am holding an unknown sword in my right hand.
“Is this…?”
“Holy Sword.”
I heard a voice from behind.
When I turned around, there was a man I had never seen before.
His dress and behavior conveyed his high status.
“I see. So, you are the hero.”
“Hero…?”
“Yes, that Holy Sword is irrefutable proof. I am Alectos Dell, the second prince of this country.”
“Y-Your Highness?!”
I never expected this person to be a prince.
He was a very mysterious person.
It’s raining in his heart.
Despite that, he showed a warm and sincere smile.
“You don’t have to worry about the village. My subordinates have annihilated the demon beast. Everyone is safe.”
“I-I see.”
“Anyway, I have a proposal for you.”
“A proposal?”
He reached out to me.
“Would you come with me to the capital?”
“The capital…”
“Yes, your power will be needed.”
I couldn’t immediately take his hand.
As a coward, I lacked decisiveness.
However, the words of His Highness were not a lie.
I was a little curious about the meaning of the rain in his heart.
Later, I would go to the capital with His Highness as a hero.
