章節 230: On a chilly night, Shadows lurk behind the curtains

"Arden!" 

Inside a room with dim light illuminating the darkness, a voice of a young girl echoed. It was a scream filled with agony. 

"He is gone," Emilia said to herself as she looked into the corpse. "No, it can't be like this…." After some time had passed, Emilia, who was the only person Arden was close to inside this academy, was finally able to see his body truly after all the examination was finished. Her eyes were slightly red, showing signs of crying. 'Was his end really going to be like this?' She couldn't help but think as she remembered the things that she had experienced with him. The innocent smile he had, the angry expression he made when he saw people getting robbed, the sad expression he had made every night when he prayed for his mom.
