Chapter 401: Lavender Field (2)

(From Blue's Perspective)

Abel led the way and I followed him, drenched in the rainwater until we reached the motionless body of Dem's aunt. He crouched on the ground and examined her body carefully while I stood near, horrified. 

"She is dead," he announced within a few seconds. 

'Knowing if someone is dead is easy. But knowing if someone is alive is hard.'

"No chance?" I asked. 

"No," he shook his head. 

"She has died fifteen minutes ago approximately," he explained. "I can't even do CPR. There is no point."

"And the cause of death? Can you understand anything?" I asked, bending slightly. As for me, I had no idea. But he surely had experience. 

"No, nothing."

"Gosh…," I sighed. "Why today out of all day? And why here?"

"Your Highness, something doesn't feel right. We need to go back," he said, his voice cautious.
