Chapter 69: Ch 69 : Bloodstained Lia
Thick, heavy clouds gathered in the sky, shrouding the land in darkness, refusing to let a single ray of light pass through.
A stifling atmosphere enveloped the entire city of Flandre.
The occasional flashes of lightning and rolling thunder only added to the unease.
A few crows, startled by the thunderclaps, let out sharp, piercing cries as they flapped their wings and took off from the tree branches, leaving behind a few black feathers that drifted down to the ground with the wind.
Finally, as if the sky could no longer bear the weight, a deafening clap of thunder sounded, and a torrential downpour began, veiling the world in sheets of rain.
The people on the streets hurriedly sought shelter, but amidst the storm, a young child was running desperately through the rain-soaked streets.
"Lia... I'll be back soon..."
Nord sprinted at full speed, rushing toward his home.
His clothes were already drenched, rainwater dripping from his body, but he paid it no mind.
However, the closer he got to his house, the heavier the ominous feeling in his heart became.
A suffocating sense of foreboding gnawed at him, unsettling his mind.
