Chapter 195: The Hero and Witch
“…During that period, I remember that a fairytale poem was very popular among the bards,” Nemo sighed and muttered in a low voice. “’Heroes and Witches’, don’t tell me it’s about…”
“Yes.” Medes’ voice is like a dying old man. “Except for the rumor that ‘Flint is a liar who seeks fame and fortune’, that’s what the ‘truth’ looks like in the eyes of people.”
Nemo had heard that song countless times…
[Once upon a time there was a hero who fought bravely and won many battles. He brought countless miracles and made the people he protected very happy.]
[But this caused the enemy to be dissatisfied that they sent a demagogic witch to his side. The bewildered hero gave up the princess that should have belonged to him and fell in love with the evil witch.]
In the illusion in front of him, Medes was still in a daze until he sat down opposite Flint.
His former commander was dressed in a simple civilian outfit, without a hint of a smile on his face. Flint just glanced at Medes’ clean and tidy image lightly and opened his mouth lightly.
“Don’t do anything stupid. Your death won’t change anything, Balthazar.” He lowered his gaze, looking as pale and thin as ever.
To Medes’ surprise, Flint’s right arm, which should have been given to the king, was still attached and moved freely.
