========================
< Chapter 8 >
I lay sprawled on my back, staring up at the night sky. Beyond the shoulder of the fallen Imperial Guard, stars were sparkling.
It was the first time I’d ever seen such a clear night sky. A sight I could never see from the empire’s capital, Akbaran.
Stars in the night sky... they’re beautiful.
Perhaps this scene would be the final image of my life. I’ve been shivering for a while now. The thrill of battle had faded, leaving only the crushing weight of pain and death pressing in on me.
“Ha, damn it.”
Only then did I notice that my side had been torn open in a long gash. Blood was streaming out in torrents. If I wasn’t careful, my insides would spill out, offering an unpleasant view.
I wasn’t in any shape to get up and move on my own. With my mangled hand, I tried to press against the torn wound on my side.
Creak, creak.
