Chapter 2
“My knight Harold, you’ve come today,”
Eleanor greeted me with her usual warmth, but there was something unsettling about her words, as if there was an underlying meaning to them.
“Yes… I am here today to serve the Goddess,”
I replied cautiously, feeling a slight unease creeping up within me.
In that moment, Eleanor’s eyes opened sharply, and a chill ran down my spine, as if she was peering deep into my soul.
Her demeanor had completely changed since the day I almost broke our vow. Gone was the immaturity and clumsiness that characterized her.
“Hmm… It’s fortunate that you’re not uttering useless words about leaving me this time… I’m glad. Do you know how much pain I felt when you tried to broke your oath?”
she said, her tone her tone carrying a sense of obsession. It was as if she had become completely consumed by the idea of keeping me by her side, always monitoring my every action to ensure I wouldn’t escape her grasp.
So, in the end, I couldn’t break the oath.
