The Hated Savior
CHAPTER 29

The black hair of his crow fluttered in the wind, his sleeping robe also fluttered displaying the charm of innocence. The petals of cherry blossoms burst through the window with the help of a cool breeze, Minami woke up from her sleep and saw a figure standing near the window with no legs that did not touch the floor.

A cold sweat flowed down his forehead, looking at the unfamiliar figure standing near the window and directing his hollow back. Minami is confused and frightened, Is it just or is it reality?

Minami dared herself to approach the figure, although with trembling legs she slowly stepped her legs and did not forget to also hold a pillow for weapons.

When close enough, Minami directly hit the pillow right on his head hard.

"Awuu....!"

"Ha-ghost be-yelling...!!!" Minami felt something very frightening and made her fall down with a pale face and trembling body.

The figure turned around and floated towards Minami, the face of the figure invisible as it turned back the light that broke through the open window of the room.

"Don't come any closer,...!!!" Panic, that's what Minami felt.

"Sister, why are you yelling?" Ask the figure and bring her face closer. Because it was still in a panic Minami could not see it clearly.

"J-don't come any closer, s-I'm guilty of hitting the ghost miss.!" With eyes tightly closed.

"Sir Nami, I'm still alive. I'm not a ghost.!"

Minami dared herself to open her eyes and believed that the figure in front of her was not the ghost she had seen before.

His fear instantly disappeared and was replaced with an overwhelming sense of surprise. "Miss, l-then where's the ghost?"

"ghosts? Nami's sister spoke what. There are no ghosts here." Aquila was astonished to see Minami constantly raving about ghosts.

"T-Tadi h-ghost was b-standing near the window. Then the ghost floated towards me." Obviously Minami with limited.

Aquila was confused, because she was sitting at the window and felt nothing. "No ghost brother, I was sitting in the window. And Nami's sister beat me hard, then fell down with a trembling body and her eyes closed tightly."

"Really, so what I saw wasn't a ghost?" Minami asked back to convince herself.

"Of course."

"Then what do I see with that hollow back?"

"I mean this brother?" Aquila turned her back and saw her back with a red rose.

And Minami immediately cursed her stupidity that could accuse Aquila as a ghost. "I'm sorry, miss, I thought she was a ghost."

"It's okay, sister, it's only natural what else Nami just woke up from sleep." Aquila.

"Why are you so noisy." Shiro asked who had woken up from his sleep.

"It's nothing, isn't it sister Nami?" Aquila smiled awkwardly.

"Huh, why do I have such a narcissistic sister."

"Ha ha, of course." said Shiro arrogantly

"Already miss mister, aren't we going to catch up with the general of the southern empire." Minami Lerai.

Those who were about to argue were insignificant immediately stopped, and Aquila immediately changed her clothes in her usual clothes. While Shiro tidied his smooth hair that was messy due to sleep. Minami came out of the room and headed to the lobby to order their breakfast.

Leave woke up with bright eyes and was astonished to see Aquila was busy rearranging herself and combing her messy hair due to the morning breeze. Leave to get off the bed and turn herself into a human form with a white dress and shiny white hair.

"Miss, let me help you." Leave took the comb in Aquila's hand.

Aquila sat in front of the mirror and looked at leave activities. "Hey Shiro, what do you think about that?" Ask Aquila.

"I think the temprament boy was very crybaby, if he cried there would be a lightning storm in his place. And if he gets angry he can destroy everything around him. What's more in the present state, he would definitely attack blindly and would always listen to the person controlling him. But in that state he'll be in pain." At the end of the sentence Shiro sounded very sad about the condition of his brother Rupiel.

"Oh so it is. But it's outrageous to be that bastard's father, too. Take it easy, I'll pick him up and save him from the bastard's dirty hands." Aquila said with fire.

"Miss is too excited, we better have breakfast and fill the belly of the lady." Minami said from behind the door and held a tray full of food.

"That's right, miss, after that she can release the spirit of the miss." Say Leave who has finished tying Aquila's hair.

"Thank you brother."

Then they ate breakfast without any debate between Aquila and Shiro. After they finished breakfast they left the inn on foot to the east which was not far from the forest they had yesterday explored. And the location of the lake is located between the hills that are clearly visible from the city they stop by.

Arriving at the edge of the forest, Leave turned into a large deer to be ridden by Aquila and Minami and did not forget Shiro who always sat in front of Aquila.

Leave ran quickly, without any obstacles or obstacles blocking him, they took different paths to avoid meeting with the southern imperial general's entourage that had departed before sunrise.

After passing through the forest and the valley of the hill, they came to the edge of a gloomy lake, with dead trees on the edge of the lake. Black grass adorns the side of the lake that is turbid brown without any inhabitants. Not far from where they stood, there was a dark cave with black stones adorning the side of the cave.

"We better hide first. I'm sure that's in a lot of traps." Minami's advice is more sensitive to dark conditions.

"I agree, we don't know what's inside yet." Aquila looked around him, and he saw a big tree but the leaves on the tree were blackened.

"How about we hide in that tree." Aquila asked as she pointed at the tree she had seen before.

Leave immediately ran towards the tree Aquila had pointed at earlier, Aquila immediately jumped onto the hidden boughs between the black leaves. And followed by Leave and Minami while Shiro was always near Aquila.

After waiting a little while, finally the group they waited until in front of the cave where Rupiel fell asleep. Then the southern imperial general descended from the horse he was riding and entered the cave, while the group that followed him immediately away for fear of being hit by a sudden lightning sting.

They waited long enough for the general to come out of the cave, and there was a very terrible roar from inside the cave.

Without them noticing the black cloud clump rolled into one, as if it wanted to pour water to destroy everything.
